Got a lot of books (we thought we were going to move house and counted 11 boxes) but mostly all are Christian and about theology and then books on natural medicine. I only have two triologies as I hardly ever read or watch novels and movies two times, ones you know the end you know it but teachings books you can always get back into until you have passed on from that knowledge or skill.
The Present Darknes and Piercing the Darkness from Peretti are very relevant as we experienced so much of the demonic and then I loved The Last Disciple triology that was written as a response to the Left Behind series. Absolutely awesome. Have a lot of faith books, "Faith and the Pharisees" from Tedd Rouse I can recommend to anyone or just the DHT manual from JGLM. On eschatology (10) (the end of things) and ecclesiology (20) (church practice) I have plenty as well as on natural non toxic medicine as I got interested after my friend Paul reversed his non hodskin lymphoma now 18 years ago. Since then of course we have met others. Anyway. Hope that this gives you guys an idea

Wolfhound by Kindal Debenham - It is the first of a three part series. These are my favorite books. I say books, because I can't decide which of the three I like most.
The Runner by William C Dietz - First of a two part. Don't read the second book, it was awful, and the first stands by itself.
DreamPhase by me </shamless-plug>

Okay...thought-provoking non-fiction:
Anything by Malcolm Gladwell
All the Freakonomics books
Stride Toward Freedom
For the Life of the World by Alexander Schmeman
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King...part informative non-fiction about writing and part memoir
Then there are some GREAT memoirs out there:
The Tender Bar
The Glass Castle
Night
The Autobiography of Malcolm X
The Hiding Place
Cheaper by the Dozen
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
Girl Meets God
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother
If you haven't previously been a big reader, then there are lots of brilliant children's classics that you may not have read. The great thing about reading children's lit is that it can usually be done in an afternoon. Here's what I recommend:
All of the Little House on the Prairie books
Anything and everything by Roald Dahl
The Secret Garden
A Wrinkle in Time
From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler
The Outsiders
Holes
The Wizard of Earthsea
Phantom Tollbooth
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry
The Hatchet series by Gary Paulsen
And lastly....the classics. Sometimes these are slightly longer reads because they are more dense that your typical novels. I recommend:
Lord of the Flies
Anything and everything by John Steinbeck
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Great Gatsby
The Call of the Wild
Red Badge of Courage
A collection of Hemingway's SHORT STORIES (These, imo, are better than his novels)
The Count of Monte Cristo
Pride and Prejudice
Great Expectations (and everything else by Dickens)
Jane Eyre
Treasure Island
Hamlet by Shakespeare (a play, but a weighty one)
The Odyssey
Beowulf
The Oedipus Cycle (a series of ancient Greek plays)
Vanity Fair
A Passage to India
Okay...I could go on, but that's a loooong list along with all the other recommendations.
