The Call of Cthulhu~ H.P. Lovecraft....well anything by Lovecraft to be honest. Heck let's toss Edger Allen Poe as well!

I'd also reccomend The Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice. It's quite different from the movie, but the book are always better. 8)

A great book is "Milkweed", by Jerry Spinelli. It's so sad...Yet funny in parts too. :D I couldn't get enough of it...So I read it 3 times...

Ugh. Dan Brown is so ridiculously over-rated. His prose sucks metaphorical balls.

I told you The Crucible was good ^^

Hmm, good books...

Hannible~ Thomas Harris (The movie is just a bit of the books greatness. The ending is comepletely different too. It's just so much more better, I was really disapointed by the movie.)

Gerald's Game~ Stephen King (It't about how a woman comes to terms with her dark past, while she tries to escape her death bed, litrally. It has alot of nudity and sexua content, be aware. It does have killing and lots of gore though.)

Hearts In Atlantis~ Stephen King (It's like alot different then his nromal stuff. Not as dark, but still good. The movie is no where near as good, specaily since it only shows the begining. It's devided into sections that are intertwined in the most interesrting ways.)
People are people, and I am me; I however, am better then people.

Woah. I didn't see your post mate.

The 'Hagakuré' is an awesome book.

Have you read Musashi's 'The Book of Five Rings'? ('Go Rin No Sho' :? [eh...i think thats the Japaese name for it])
