Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Enjoyed all the books in the series. Too bad they don't make the movies follow the book.

You Suck, a Love Story, by Christopher Moore. I just LOVE this series. This is #2 in the Blood Sucking Fiends series (three books total), and each are very good, funny and just really enjoyable. He's a wonderful author!!! Not nearly as well known as he probably should be

I'll do z - Zelda, A Biography by Nancy Milford. I read this years and years ago. Biography of Zelda Fitzgerald, very interesting and fast reading so if you're interested in finding out more about Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald and that period of history, this book might appeal to you.

Because a beast emerges and is running amock, and what is about to be born upon the altar of eden could threaten not only the future of the world but the very foundation of what it means to be human.

Oh Mountain Woman, I love James Rollins, he mixes fiction with history all the time, and his books make you really think! I just discovered him last year and I'm already in love with his books.

Andromeda Strain, by Michael Crichton. Hope I spelled all of this right! This is a book I really enjoyed quite few years ago. If memory serves, it is pretty timeless and very engaging

"Bogeyman" by Gayle Wilson - A year after the death of her husband, Blythe Wyndham moves with her four-year-old daughter, Maddie, back to the small town where she grew up. But soon after they move into their new house, strange things begin to happen. Maddie has disturbingly intense nightmares—so intense that Blythe fears one night she may not be able to awaken her daughter. A psychologist explains that Maddie’s dreams are simply the result of her father’s death, but Blythe knows something else is wrong. Because she’s heard the tapping at her daughter’s window…Convinced the house is haunted, Blythe researches the town’s history and discovers that a little girl had been murdered in the area 25 years ago. Could there be some connection between this dead child and Maddie? With the help of Sheriff Cade Jackson, Blythe tries to separate past horrors from present dangers and struggles to distinguish the real from the imagined. But someone is clearly determined to keep a secret—and will kill again to do so.

Another Michael Crichton novel, "Eaters of the Dead"
The year is 922AD. A refined Arab ourier representative of the powerful Caliph of Bagdad, encounters a party of viking warriors who are journeying to the barbaric North. He is appalled by their viking customs and their disregard for cleanliness. He has been enlisted by these savages to help combat a terror that plagues them--a monstrosity that emerges under cover of night to slaughter the vikings and devour their flesh.
I must add that I like Michael Crichton, LOve Jurrasic Park, but didn't like this one too much, only bought it because it was written by him.

Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews...I read it a long time ago. I do remember that a movie came out and that to me the movie paled in comparison to the book. The siblings in in really looked out for each other as they were the products of incest.
