I really am not into sci-fi books all that much. For me, it's more political thrillers, book series like Left Behind and the like, and always a good historical book. What is everyone elses favorites that are more on the lines of plain fiction?

A certain book that I had read about a year ago, The Last Jihad by Joel C. Rosenberg, was great. It was mainly a political thriller that dealt wiht such current issues as terrorism, Iraq, and the Mid-East, all with a Christian overtone.
The ironic thing about all this was that I read it on a school trip to Washington, D.C.! I say this because the cover had the Capitol on it, lit in a foreboding tone. Kinda makes you think...

I read the second one (forget the title, though)
It was a good conservative book that put everything in black and white.

Ah, I'm about half way through. It's called Deliver Us From Evil: Winning the War Against Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism

I meant right to your book title for the second one, I didn't see your other post, Nolofinwe.
In fact, I have read The Table in the Presence. It is very good book that conveniently blends Christianity and war, two very important issues in today's world.

Right now, I'm reading Gideon's Torch by charles Colson. I got it from the church library, and it goes along the lines of a political fiction book, coupled with modern issues like abortion. It's good.

What kind of spare time fiction books do you guys like?
Other than the Eneder's Game series I like to read the Chronicles of Narnia, I'm on my 7th time round, and I like to read Mysteries.

Titanian, I go old school also when I say that my favorite book of all-time is Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. A great adventure novel that I've read several times.

For the WWII lovers in the audience, I reccomend "Hitler and Nazi Germany" by Johnson J. Speilvogal. There aren't many out there, but it is a seriously good book on the nation of Germany and their hopes in foreign policy during the war.

I would consider myself a mildly obsessed WWII fan, so it sounds like a good read. I'll try to read it if I can remember the title the next time at the library.

To put it simply, Dracula rocks. Do not watch the movies, read the books. It is one of the best novels in history, and there is so much incredible plot.
I would have thought that Dorian Grey would have been a much better book. The idea is certainly unique, though I heard that Dorian is actually a secondary character that is mainly controled by this vicious old dude who warps him. Plot synopsis?

I just finished reading Rebecca by: daphne du maurier. It's okay, but it is LONG. It takes forever to read, but overall it was a good book and I would recommend it to anyone who likes mystery.
