My Favourite Books
This page is dedicated to my favourite books, and I've read a lot! All the books on this page I strongly recommend if you fancy picking up a good book to read. It's always good to have someone recommend a book to you, as there's nothing worse than picking up a book, reading it and waiting for it to get interesting and it never does!
The first person I strongly STRONGLY recommend is the author David Eddings. He has written great series of books and I gurantee once you start reading the series, you won't want to stop. The only downfall is that you will never ever find another author to match his excellent writing, which makes all other books you read after insignificant and shallow!

The first five books are one continuous story called the Belgariad. There is also another five books continuing the story after that called the Mallorean. You may think that ten books is dragging a story out, but believe me, by the time you get to the end of the tenth book, you're devastated itt's over!

The stories also have two side books which are the life stories of two of the characters - Belgarath the Socerer and Polagara the Soceress. Both books are just as good as the ten books before and go into more detail about the characters.
Other books I love reading are horrors. Good authors in this area are Stephen King and James Herbert. Of the numerous books James Herbert has written, I suggest you read the trilogy he wrote.... The Rats, Domain and Lair. These three books are about a nuclear war and people take cover in the Underground stations. Killer rats start coming out of the dark and feasting on... you guessed it... the humans! Sounds stupid but they're very good and easy to read. Other good James Herbert books are Fluke and Once.
I could write tons on the books I have read, but instead, here's a list of SOME of the other books I have read and recommend....
