you don't think Red Dragon is a good book????????

As a serious fan of the psychopathic mind this is a great book. A little better than Silence of the Lambs in my opinion which is also a great book.

Patricia Cornwalls Jack the Ripper book is also good

Another great read is the Lord of the Rings books but if you read them do yourself a favor and read the Hobbit first and after Lord of the Rings read The Silmarillion which explains all the stories of old they touch upon in LOTR.

I read all 5 of those books at least once a year.

Some other repeat books I really like are, The Godfather, Anything by Robin Cook, Otto's Boy, The Jurrasic Park books, and the following older novels are among my favorites; The Three Musketeers (great book to read when your sick!), Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn, Frankenstein, Bram Stokers Dracula, Treasure Island, and for some reason I really like the Merchant of Venice.

those are some of my favorite novels but to be truthful I'm more of a history book type of person.
