How to get rich selling books on how to get rich selling books.

The Master Key System by Charles Haanel


Power of Now by Tolle


Kundalini the Evolutionary Energy in Man by Gopi Krishna


Happy Pocketful of Money


Intro to Philosophy by Will Durant

all my favorites are short story collections by horror writers, such as lovecraft, machen, and lumley.

so i'll say that my favorite nonhorror, novel length book is The Hobbit

the classic dystopia stories are great too...clockwork orange, 1984, brave new world

I have read some of Kings books but they are hard to get through. It takes 2 pages for the protagonist to cross the street. Tom Clancy rules...

If you like that kind of stuff Dean Coonts is pretty good...

Book Description
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when--or if--it will go away.

Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens--town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing--even murder--to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out.

Learn About the Story Behind the Cover to Under the Dome

The jacket concept for Under the Dome originated as an ambitious idea from the mind of Stephen King. The artwork is a combination of photographs, illustration and 3-D rendering. This is a departure from the direction of King's most recent illustrated covers.

In order to achieve the arresting image for this jacket, Scribner art director Rex Bonomelli had to seek out artists who could do a convincing job of creating a realistic portrayal of the town of Chester's Mill, the setting of the novel. Bonomelli found the perfect team of digital artists, based in South America and New York, whose cutting edge work had previously been devoted to advertisement campaigns. This was their first book jacket and an exciting venture for them. "They are used to working with the demands of corporate clients," says Bonomelli. "We gave them freedom and are thrilled with what they came up with."

The CGI (computer generated imagery) enhanced image looks more like something made for the big screen than for the page and is sure to make a lasting impact on King fans.

For myself: White Oleander, by Janet Fitch. Compelling.

Things by Tom Robbins.

Star Wars book, Star By Star.

Journey of Souls by Micheal Newton.

-- heart of darkness

-- candide

-- cellini "autobiography"

-- flow my tears, the policeman said

-- no one here gets out alive

I always look up book replies.

And I must say, people list books they think are great but they never say whether they actually READ them and how they benefited from reading them, how it changed their lives.

Otherwise, it is just a list. Might as well be your favorite colognes list...

I'm reading, a passage to India. Loving it! My favourite book of all time is Lord of the rings.

I like old books written in the 1920s or thirties, They have to be English or French.
