I must look up the Hawthorne stories .
In a totally different genre , I'm particularly fond of all Raymond Chandler's books.
My late father remembered him holidaying in Waterford , Chandler's mother was from a well known Quaker family in the City - there is one of those blue plaques on the house where he stayed on his holidays in the City centre.
Recommend any particular books from Chandler Deise? BTW there is a very good Norton series on American literature (I think it's volume 2) that includes Hawthorne's works. You can get it from the Library.
The Wheel of Time series (fantasy like LOTR, but much better, more detailed, but slower).
Misery and The Dark Half by Stephen King. Read Misery in one sitting when I was 16 and loved it ever since. The Dark Half still makes me tingle when I think about it.
For non-fiction, I thoroughly recommend Fingerprints Of The Gods....seriously makes you wonder.
Memoirs of a Geisha is good.
I love the old Irish Mythology ones too, any will do.
or To Kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee. What's your favourite book?
