Any book suggestions?

History - "Washington's Crossing," by David Hatchett Fischer. I read this fairly recently. It's a fascinating story of Washington's army in the American Revolution. It gave me new appreciation of the endurance and perseverance of the American leaders and soldiers.

Robert Caro's series of biography of Lyndon Johnson.
"The Path to Power"
"Means of Ascent"
"Master of the Senate"

The 4th in the series will be about the presidential years. I am anxiously awaiting its publication. I read "Means of Ascent" first when I was in college - picked it up from the "dollar table" at the bookstore- and this book led me to quit reading fiction! If had been written as fiction, you would say it is not a believable story. I think I would read them in order now, though.

If you are interested in Science Fiction, then I would recommend anything by Robert Heinlein, Robert Forward, or Frank Herbert.

Anne McCaffrey has not only The dragon riders of pern books that are totally awsome , she also has sevral series I have read most of them but the only other one I really love is the one that starts with The Rowen and has books like the tower and the hive , Damia and Damia's children , its sci fi and awsome.
Piers anthony has the Xanth series I like the first 10 books better then the last like 10 but there all just out there and a lot of fun, who wouldnt want to live in a place where you could pick boots and pillows and things off trees and swim in lakes of soda pop ect

I cant remmber the auther but I like the mysterys called the cat who books
The cat who could read backwards
The cat who ate danish modern
The cat who went underground
The cat who robbed the bank ect, there all good simple easy fun mysteries they dont take long to read and alothough there are murders and such theres no gross nasty details and all that .
Earths children sieres is really good Clan of the cave bear , vally of the horses, mamoth hunters, plains of passage, and shelters of stone but there are hard core um adult things in them sevral times .
