I love to read mysteries, historical fiction, classics and young adult fiction, but I have never read westerns or science fiction novels. it's time to branch out and give these other genres a try. Does anyone have suggestions for novice (and wary) sci-fi and western readers?
Posted 12/09/10 02:28 PMR.A. Salvatore Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman David Eddings All of these authors will reel you in and give you a really good read.
Posted 12/09/10 04:42 PMThanks for these suggestions everybody. This gives me some options for winter reading!
Posted 02/03/11 12:15 AMTry out Brent Weeks, his Shadow Trilogy is a great start for a new fantasy read, keeps the overwhelming fantasy elements scant, tells a great story with relatable characters, and is great for a re-read.
Posted 07/21/11 10:48 PMTry reading Author Rusty Nugent. He is a Dark Fantasy writer. The title of the book series is Moonwarriors. It's an good werewolves vs evil vampires series. It is the best novel I have read from a new author.
Posted 09/25/11 05:23 PMIf you want to try Westerns, I like Larry McMurtry. Start with Lonesome Dove.

I'm trying to find a new book on Jean Harlow, "Harlow in Hollywood", by Darrell Rooney and Mark A. Vieira. It was published in March 2011 by Angel City Press, and the ISBN data is as folliows: ISBN-10: 9781883318963 ISBN-13: 978-1883318963 ASIN: 1883318963 Amazon and Barnes and Noble both have it, though Borders doesn't (not surprising considering their financial problems). It's not currently in Overstock's catalog. Is there any chance you may be able to add it?

I'm trying to assemble a decent library for my three sons. Our oldest is in second grade and has discovered "chapter" books. I remember loving books by Lloyd Alexander. Any suggestions for good literature for kids?
Posted 12/21/10 12:33 PMMe and the Wierdos by Jane Sutton was one of my favorite books as a kid. I think I read it for the first time in 3rd grade. It's about a girl who is contstantly annoyed by her family's embarrassing antics, but it has a really sweet message about loving your family. Plus it's hilarious and actually gives kids some great ideas about how to be creative and have fun.

Posted 04/01/11 07:01 PMMy son is in 2nd grade as well, and he loves the Nate the Great series and the Magic Treehouse series. In fact, he has been jumping up and down over my shoulder, begging for more books as we looked at some a minute ago. I plan to get him started on the Hardy Boys series soon too.
Posted 05/09/11 09:08 PMMy son is in the third grade and loves to read. Last year he read through a series called "Hank the cowdog" He really enjoyed it and was dissapointed when he finished all the available books. Now he reads a lot of science books on animals, dinosaurs, sharks and such.
Posted 05/10/11 11:07 AMWow, more great recommendations. I'm definitley going to look into Nate the Great and Hank the Cowdog. My oldest is just about the right age.
