Does anyone have good suggestions for great books? I'm a complete bookworm and I've read (about literally) half of the books in our local library. I'm going book shopping next week. Can anyone give me great fiction books, architectural books, art books, or mangas I should get to hold me over for the summer?

Look into any books by Francine Rivers. They are, without a doubt, the most compelling novels you will ever read. Yeah, one of my goals in life is to get at least a hundred people to read her books.

There is one book I can suggest. I normally hate classics, and I love fictional books, or books full of adventure.
This is not really under the genres you gave, but I enjoyed, is the book 'Of Mice And Men' ~John Steinbeck~. It is full of adventure for a classic, plus the language isn't dull and old fashioned. Honestly, it's good, and this is coming from a classics-hater ^_^

Well I'd recommend Lord of the Rings if you haven't read that. I'd also recommend Ender's Game The Drizzt Do'Urden books Foundation Childhood's End just to name a few

For once it was a book I read in school I actually enjoyed. 'To Kill A Mocking Bird' ~Harper Lee~ is not too bad either. Not as good in terms of plot to 'Of Mice And Men' but is good when you read it the first time, plus it is full of moral lessons.

Jeez. I guess I'm a bigger book worm than I thought. I've read all of the books in the last three posts by Tommy, Mouko, and Chaz.

Well knock that down to 99 if I can find a book by her in the lia...libe...oh the place where you borrow books I'll read it.
