Wouldn �t it be great if you wrote a very very very short description of the less known books? At least the genre ... It would make me choose among them more easily.

I know what I �ll be reading the next 10 year!!! 
I also loved:
The Ramses books by Christian Jacq
The Hiram Key - A realy interesting book about the free masons and more!!
When Christopher Knight
and Robert Lomas, both Masons, set out to find the origins of freemasonry
they had no idea they would find themselves unravelling the true story of
Jesus Christ and the original Jerusalem Church.
The Ripper And The Royals by Melvyn Fairclough - a whole new version of Jack the Ripper and a conspiracy plot by the Free Masons in Britain.
Down and Out in London and Paris by George Orwell
The ABC (Kinsey Mulhone) books by Sue Grafton
All the books about The Number One Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
(about a wonderfully plumb and very wise woman detective in Botswana)
Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson

Watership Down, by Richard Adams, is a fantastic novel.
And my father �s favourite author was Louis L �Amour - so, as we had many of his books at home, I began to read and enjoy them. I �m not a �wild west � kind of person but I really liked L �Amour �s stories, especially Down the Long Hills which is about a 7 year old boy and 3 year old girl who escape Indian massacre and travel alone to meet boy �s father. |

. Try to get it. You will never forget "Gully" ( an artist...also a con-artist 
) who breaks with conformity and lives a wonderful life as he allows his spirit to soar freely. Really is a terrific read.
