love isabel allande, cormac mccarthy. read the book thief and loved it.

any suggestions, i need about 7 books, tia.

Bumping for you but don't have any particular suggestions.

I have quite a few Phillipa Gregory (The Other Boleyn Girl and others) and they're not bad.

If you like very very historical (cave people, not big-dresses historical) I would definitely recommend The Clan of the Cave Bear.

If you like historical saga - meaty not drippy - Dianna Gabaldon is good Cross Stitch, Dragonfly in Amber, Voyager, Drums of Autumn, The Fiery Cross and A breath of Snow and Ashes - based in Scotland, then American around the Jacobite rebellion American Civil war. Quite bodice ripping in places if you like that sort of thing! Also have a sci -fi theme with the time travel aspect.

Have you read the CJ Sansom ones yet I am recommending these to everybody! Mediaeval mysteries, really well researched and very exciting.

Have you read "Lord Of The Flies"?

"Like Water For Chocolate"?

"Love In The Time Of Cholera"?

Also "March" which is about the March father (from Little Women) in the American Civil War.

"Rebecca"

Any classics?

Anita Diamant- Last Days of Dogtown - set in America turn of 19th century.

I would recommend The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson, Its set in the present and 13/14 century in monastic communities and is very mysterious.

This is waterstones blurb:
The nameless and beautiful narrator of "The Gargoyle" is driving along a dark road when he is distracted by what seems to be a flight of arrows. He crashes into a ravine and wakes up in a burns ward, undergoing the tortures of the damned. His life is over - he is now a monster. But in fact it is only just beginning. One day, Marianne Engel, a wild and compelling sculptress of gargoyles, enters his life and tells him that they were once lovers in medieval Germany. In her telling, he was a badly burned mercenary and she was a nun and a scribe who nursed him back to health in the famed monastery of Engelthal. As she spins her tale, Scheherazade fashion, and relates equally mesmerising stories of deathless love in Japan, Greenland, Italy and England, he finds himself drawn back to life - and, finally, to love.

I'm half way through and gripped by it.

Not quite bioagraphy but I really liked The Mitfords: Letters between six sisters by Charlotte Mosley.The letters are from there teenage years right up until present time. Such an intresting family!

thanks evryone.
