I just read through twenty pages and can't believe No one mentioned the count of Monte Cristo!
I'm also a big fan of dickens
Tale if two cities, Oliver twist, David Copperfield.... Anyone else out there?

On my list but don't see it happening any time soon.

This might just be me, but I never saw a movie that I enjoyed more than the book it was made on.

On that note, is Game of Thrones worth reading or is the TV show better?

You won't regret it.

50 pages into an interview with Watterson in Exploring Calvin and Hobbes. Fascinating read.

Just saw your question now because the thread just got bumped. The answer is a definitive yes, you should read the books. In my opinion it is almost impossible to follow all the characters without reading the books and understanding who is who and what is what. Just a note that as of the last season the HBO writers have basically taken a shortcut and changed parts of the story.

With a few slight spoilers to the books, the show ended exactly where ADOD left off.

just found this thread, but some of the best novels i've read in my life is the Bourne trilogy by Ludlum... simply unreal.

Just read מטלז עד מטלז
The daily diary of R Chaim Stein from the war years.

A fascinating "inside look"

As long as I Live has got to be one of greatest inspirational books ever. this mans life causes us to appreciate the health we all (hopefully!) have and if , chalila lo aleinu, one doesn't, one can learn how extraordinarily steadfast this man clings to Hashem and how we must also. (the book writes that Rav Chaim Kaniefsy read the book and said its a ''must read'')

Iv been meaning to read this.
Is it an easy read or long and drawn out?

Easy read.

I'm in middle of the prime ministers, thanks for the suggestion, so far it's great

For anyone who hasn't read it - and is interested in the history of the relationship between Arab Muslims and Jews - From Time Immemorial by Joan Peters is a must read. 

[danR]

Ally by Michael B Oren is a great read too, behind the scene view of what went on with Obama and Bibi
