The Delta of Venus, The Story of "O", Nana, Nausea (Satre), I could on and on , read is what I do

I'd like to see some book recommendations here. You can recommend something you really like, or others can ask for recommendations.

What I like to read the most are mysteries/thrillers or fun chick lit type stuff. So, does anyone have a recommendation along those lines?

just for singme, since she wanted some background

Riverworld is just that, a world with one river running all the way around it

and one day every single person who ever lived on earth wakes up on the banks of the river

Jesus, Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, King John, Joe the Plumber, Edgar Alan Poe, Hitler, Charles Lindbergh, Richard Burton (the explorer)

everyone

That sounds interesting.

"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho

It is about a journey of a young shepard in search of his personal legend.

If you've never read Patricia Cornwall's Scarpetta series and are into CSI kind of stuff, those are pretty good.

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova is a "what if" mystery about "what if" there really was a real "Dracula" and he's still living. I found it fascinating.

Pillars of the Earth and the sequel (I can't remember the name off-hand right now) by Ken Follett about building a cathedral in the Middle Ages.

Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley about King Arthur from a woman's perspective.

Jacob's Ladder by Donald McCaig is about the Civil War from the perspective of a woman of color who escaped slavery and passed as white in the south.

My favorite books ever: To Kill a Mockingbird, and Steinbeck's East of Eden and The Grapes of Wrath.

I Know this Much is True by Wally Lamb.
