: Have you ever read any of the following? These, in addition to those on your list that I have read are my favorites.

: Tom Clancy:
: Without Remorse
: Sum of All Fears
: Debt of Honor
: Executive Orders
: Rainbow Six
: (others of his also, but these are the best)

: George Orwell:
: 1984
: Animal Farm

: Agatha Christy:
: Ten Little Indians (or: And Then There Were None, same book, published under different titles)

I read this one for a novel study in Grade 8. It was awesome. And to answer K. Allard's question, it was no cowboy story. It's a murder mystery.

: Michael Chriton:
: Congo (MUCH better than the movie)
: Eaters of the Dead (didn't like it that much but AWESOME writting and way to present fiction)

I read Congo. I read up a few weeks before the movie was about to come out. The movie sucked big time. The book was pretty good. Not my favorite Chrichton book (Jurassic Park was WAY better), but overall pretty good. BTW, did you know when Spielberg, Lucas, and Ford were going to work together to make a 3rd Indiana Jones movie. When there was a buzz about this, Michael Chrichton came to Spielberg and Lucas offering to make an Indy story out of Congo. Basically, they'd change it around so it would be set in the 30s and put Indy in it and would have the same basic plot. But, as we all know, they rejected the offer and made Last Crusade.

: William Golding
: Lord of the Flies

Yes, I have. Did it for a novel study in Grade 10. Great book!! Very realistic and horrifying.

: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
: The Hound of Baskervilles

:
: Any body else ever read any of these, if so, whaddaya' think of them?

: Oh and warning to all who might be deceived: When choosing a book by Tom Clancy, all his books are good, but any that are titled "Tom Clancy's" with the apostrophe 'S' are not written by him, but rather a ghostwriter. Some of these are somewhat good reading, but why waste time on somewhat good when you could be reading the excellent books written by the master himself?
