i read a hell of a lot and all genre so id be hard presed to say which is my favourite, erotic books id say has to be beautys punishment by anne rice.
i love true story ones so the tory hayden books
angelas ashes by frank mccourt is wonderful both funny sad and inspiring.
the book of the die by luke rhinehart i found a bit weird but very very different and id certainly recommend it.
its about an eminent psychiatrist who decides to live each day by the dice,
so he will each day set up a way of being or an action for each number some good some bad and he got more and more strange until eventually all his choices were weird and had some peculiar effects on his life!
its very very difficult to explain it and the write-ups dont do it justice it sounds a bit naff, but i would say if ever you get the opportunity read it! its a really great and original book
ive been trying for ages to get hold of this series and cant half the bookshops say they'll order them in then never get round to it, will have to use amazon.
