Here are my suggestions -- in order:

f) Little Brother, by Cory Doctorow
-- I'd strongly recommend that everyone read this book. In fact, I'd like to sponsor this book in a high-school government course.

r) Pillars of the Earth, by Ken Follet
-- Definitely an epic book. I'm looking forward to picking up the sequel some time this year.

b) The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, by Robert Heinlein
-- One of my all-time favorite books. Its messages are on several levels and this book demands a re-read every 5 years of so.

k) Dune, by Frank Herbert
-- A classic. The attempts at movies just don't do it any justice.


I have these on my TBR list; they have good recommendations. I even have copies of all except the Brooks book. Just need to fit them into the reading schedule.

a) The Way of Shadows, by Brent Weeks
c) The Sword of Shannara, by Terry Brooks
e) Mistborn, by Brandon Sanderson
q) 1632, by Eric Flint
