On your bedside table, which book would you recommend to others?

I have 2 favorite authors. Nora Roberts (aka JD Robb) and Lynn Kurland. I will read anything either of these 2 have written. Lynn Kurlands books continue on through Generations and Time (most of them have an aspect of time travel) It's so very fascinating the key is to not get "Lost" Nora- she just does everything good

I don't keep any books by my bed, because the cats would knock them on the floor and pee on them... I love my cats, but they sure don't let me read. I lay down and I have cats in my face

I love reading novels written by American author Dan Brown, such as Da Vinci code and Angels and Demons. In fact, the book "Da Vinci code" is the best novel that I have read until now. So, the most important book I would recommend to all friends here is the "Da Vinci code", which is the best attractive novel that one can't missed. It is Brown's second novel to include the character Robert Langdon, the first being his 2000 novel Angels and Demons. You see, I have read many times and the more I read the book, the more I feel interested in it. It is obvious that the Bible may be the most pouplar one among all books. Happy myLotting!

On the table next to my bed there is a book called The Magic of Thinking Big, and a book about The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and it uses that book as an example of how some stuff in space could be true. I haven't read either of them. Have flipped through the first one, got it 2004. Have read a couple chapters in the other one. Not being serious about either one of them. The books on that table rotate.

I've read all of Dan Brown's novels and I can say, reading one of them is great but reading the same "winning formula" over and over again over a number of books makes it lose its novelty rather. In The Lost Symbol I felt that the author has rather lost his touch. If you haven't read it I don't want to give spoilers, but if you're interested we could discuss this further. On the other hand I am rather a fan of the Harry Potter series. They are probably my favourite books. I don't buy many books; i only buy those I like but I find myself forking out money time and time again to buy HP books as they are re-released. Pre-ordering them even. I have a friend who do not like HP because she doesn't like fantasy. So I generally do not recommend unless if I know the person's tastes in books fairly well. But I think Bible is a good choice though you may offend atheists =D If I'm merely recommending a book I like ... hmm .. I would recommend Thomas Harris's Hannibal series. Tried those?

Currently on my bedside table: 'A Nomad of the Time Streams' (Michael Moorcock) - highly recommended, 'Century Rain' (Alistair Reynolds) - recommended for sci-fi nuts only!
