If you like detective work, suspense or the x-files you'll love this book.

Although I have never read a Matthew Reilly book, I have heard nothing but good things about them.

Pet Semetary was alright. It didn't really give me the chills as much as the movie, though.

Quote from Ash
The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer


Now, while it seems like I'm trying to just push my zombie fetish, I really reccommend World War Z. It has a lot about politics, some satire, and it's just all-around genius. It's by Max Brooks.


I realize that this is a really old post of yours, but I just got to reading it, and it's quite amazing. I loved how he was able to portray himself as so many people, like he was actually interviewing a different person each time, be it a blind man from WWII speaking of his life and troubles, a scared little girl recalling a church scene, a pilot's story of trying to make her way to an interstate to get home, a Japanes teen explaining him repelling down an apartment building, etc. It actually seems like a big book of interviews, and it's just.. Gawd...

The Exorcist by William Blatty. It's disturbing, but really good.

The Historian by Elisabeth Kostova,

I started reading it. It's pretty good, interesting, apparently it's a lot better if you've actually read Dracula. It does get kind of dry at points with the describing of scenery and such but I guess the author just uses it as a contrast to the story within a story that eventually becomes the story.
