    I second that!

    But if you read the 50 Shades series with the thought process of what's going on mentally - I think they are one of the best series I have read in a very long time - aside from the Tattoo series. I had a friend read them (male) and he agreed with me whole-heartedly. Another friend of ours (female) says she will never touch a page of them. I tell her she is missing some very powerful reading, imho.

    My two favorite aurthors are Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.

    I have read the entire 14 book series The Wheel of time which was started by Robert Jordan and finished by Brandon Sanderson after Mr. Jordans death. Very good series even though I think the last book was slightly rushed (Even though it was almost 1000 pages)

    The good series by Brandon Sanderson include: Mistborne (Awesome series!!!!!), his new multibook epic series Stormlight Archieve (Can't wait for book two. Come out faster damnit!!) and a slew of one book stories that are all very good reads.



    Another good series that some of you may watch is the Song of Fire and Ice series (HBO Series Game of Thrones) by George Martin.

    If you like fantasy style books, I highly suggest these authors.

    Just started reading Dan Brown's latest "Inferno" ... I've read all his others and they were decent reads (though a little long in the tooth on historic fact and such, which honestly I thoroughly enjoyed). So far so good!

    Recently, I re-read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. When putting it away I spotted Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Read two more from Douglas Adams after that and now I'm in the middle of a Sue Grafton mystery.

    I should put in a plug for my cousin Joanne, but the truth is that since she writes Young Adult Fiction, (think teenage girls with horses) and Romance novels, I haven't read more than a few pages of one of her books.

    Thanks for bringing Douglas Adams back up ... I keep forgetting how much of a fan of his Dirk Gently series I was.

    Also the "Incarnations of Immortality" series by Piers Anthony was quite an enjoyable read. In fact, think I'm going to give that one another go here in a short while. Looking up the bibliography for the series, I've got some catching up to do!
