I loved "Catch me if You Can"
<BR>Also I couldn't put down "Harry Potter"
<BR>I Finished "Lord of the Rings" last night. The first 2 books were pretty good, but I loved the last one. Those movies are going to rule!

"The Thin Red Line" by James Jones
<BR>"The Killer Angels" by Michael Shaara
<BR>"A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn
<BR>"Apt Pupil" by Stephen King

i love all of the 87th precient novels by Ed McBain but my favourite has to be the Deaf Man Trilogy + 2, i am reading now "Until death do you part" which is pretty good.

I loved the book GOOD OMENS but i forgot who wrote it. This book is a satire about the appocalyps and just religion in general. I know he just recently published another book.
<BR>
<BR>I also like everything that i have read by Kurt Voneguet. He is my favorite authore at this time with Cat's Cradle being my second favorite book.

I like Agatha Cristie books, I've read a few, but one that stood out was "Endless Night." I absolutely hated the book. I thought it was quite pointless, and it didn't seem like a mystery. Until the end. Oh, the ending..... one of the most shocking I've ever read. My jaw literally dropped. Has anyone else read this book, and what did you think of it?
<BR>Endings have always been my favorite part of a story, whether it's a movie, book, video game, anything. So, does anyone know of books/movies/video games/ect. that have good.shocking endings?
<BR>I remember I read a book back in sixth grade (I'm going into 10th now) called The Gun, I think. It was a young adult book about a rifle, and it told it's story from back when it was made in the old west, all the way up to modern times. It painted alot of very graphic pictures, about bullets hitting people in the spine and jerking them off of horses, and many other such things. I remember in another book he wrote, The Hatchet, he described, in great detail, a corpse that had it's flesh eaten off by fish. Lovely. But, back to the Gun, the ending was rather sad. A man had the gun over his fireplace, and the heat caused a bullet that was lodged in it to fire, flying through the window into his neighbor's house, killing their teenage son. On Christmas Eve. It describes the life he would have had, he would have been a good athlete, he would have been top of his class in high school and college, would have married his High School sweetheart, had a successful career, etc., ect. Great ending to a young adult book, don't you say?
