Suggestions for a good read?

Aloha All,

I am trying to stay off social media as much as I can. Seems to suck me in. So I just deactivated a few accounts. Need a break. Anyway looking to get into a good book. Possibly something Christian but doesn't have to be. Nothing with gore or crap like that. Maybe mystery, or something inspiring. Something that catches your interest in first chapter. Any good suggestions?
Thanks

the Explicit Gospel by Matt Chandler. very good book

 

[bhayes]

Some good books are Shogun, Noble house, King Rat or really anything by James Clavell. Another good author is Leon Uris. These two authors are incredible really I began reading them a while ago and tried to read as many books written by them as I could since then.

What age rating (teen, young adult, adult) for content, etc. ? You don't like gore, but how do you feel about other "nsfw" ? I guess if a title interests you, you can always google the content.

Watership Down (Richard Adams), Jurassic Park (Michael Crichton), The Gun Seller (Hugh Laurie), Into the Wilderness (Sara Donati), The Mirror of Her Dreams (Stephen R. Donaldson)

Hey if you like Christian SciFi - there is the Firebird series by Katy Tyers. (she has also written for the Star Wars series books)

She also has a few stand-alone SF Christian novels like Shivering World.

I am going to suggest The Book Of Adam And Eve part one pdf.

You can read it online or download it..there is a preface first and then it starts..it starts to get good about chapter 5 or 6 and is sooo enlightening! Tell me what you think...

I love Philippa Gregory. She writes about the time period surrounding the Tudor reign in England. I just finished the King's Curse and am now reading The Constant Princess, but I have read many, many of her books and never get tired of them.

One that is harder to get into at the beginning but so worth it in the end is To Serve a King by Donna Russo Morin. It's about a girl handpicked by a king to be raised as a spy in another king's court. She must feign loyalty to one king in order to show her loyalty to another. Her entire upbringing is brought into question and she has to decide what is right and what is wrong, coming to terms with what she sees and what she has been taught her whole life.
