Here's my standard list of book recommendations. I hope it helps!

I recommend to anyone and everyone to read Stephen King's "The Green Mile." The movie was good, but the book is phenominal.

If you want a fantasy series, check out Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series. There are seven amazing books, starting with "The Gunslinger."

For young adult novels, read Lynn Reed Banks's "Indian in the Cupboard" series. They're great. The movie based on the first book was an insult to the novel.

If you're concerned about the world and humanity's future, read "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn. His other books are also well worth a read, but I recommend starting with this one.

Finally, I once heavily pursued a career as a novelist, and had a few professional short story sales. You can check out my books at Amazon.
