I adore Father Brown. And The Man Who Was Thursday is fast becoming one of my favorite books--a fantasy/mystery/retelling of Job told with a good deal of poetical language--what more could anyone ask?

You gotta have some classic literature in there. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy (the whole Pimpernel series preferably), and Les Miserables by Victor Hugo are only a few!

So, what. No one like Terry Brooks' Sword of Shannara series, as well as The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara?
Gotta give a kudos to whoever mentioned Phillip Pullman's Dark Materials Trilogy. Those are the only books I own, however..... *sneaks off into mothers' books for more, with an evil grin on.*

i have read most of Terry Brooks and would give his stuff a B or B+, which means it's not bad...
but I do especially like the two he wrote on a "Knight of the Word" theme.

chessiejo i have read most of Terry Brooks and would give his stuff a B or B+, which means it's not bad... Agreed. Sometimes, they are exactly what I want to read, but they are not on the "A" list. For one thing, the poor man simply cannot think of good names! Not that I do much better razz

Phantom Pimpernel You gotta have some classic literature in there. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux, The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy (the whole Pimpernel series preferably), and Les Miserables by Victor Hugo are only a few! Too true! *Stocks the shelves with the works of Jane Austen and the Brontes (all of them).

Hahaha, funny. <.< If I have time (which, after the next week or two, I should), I'll update it whenever someone posts a new author. However, I'm much too lazy to go looking up the authors for all the book titles that people post with no authors.
