Which of this books do you recommend ??

[Pax]

Hey Guys .. I will go to Lisbon and check a good book shop .. Bertrand

Its a good shop but has a lack of titles that I may like.. I went to the website and start searching for a few books...

Im not an expert at english book reading so , if you think the language of any of this books is not that easy please say it

So there's the list I made:

------------------------------ Horror / Post-Apocaliptic --------------------
The Stand - Stephen King
The Shining - Stephen King
Different Seasons - Stephen King

Life As We Knew It - Susan Pfeffer

Flood - Stephen Baxter

Drowned World - J.G. Ballard

World War Z - Max Brooks

--------------------------- Mystery / Police ---------------------

Hannibal - Thomas Harris

Mystery Of The Yellow Room - G Leroux


Couldnt find other ones that sounded good... in this list what do you think are the best books ??

Thanks in advance

Avoid Hannibal. Especially if you haven't already read Red Dragon and Silence Of The Lambs, but even if you have, avoid Hannibal. It's awful.

World War Z is a lot of fun. We have a thread on it here.

The King books are all good.

I haven't read The Drowned World yet, but Ballard should be good. I'm not sure I'd recommend reading him in English if you don't feel entirely confident about that, though - some of the Ballard I've read has been pretty tricky.

I've read The Mystery Of The Yellow Room and it's a good book. However, since the book was originally written in French, maybe it's not the best option...
If you're going to Lisbon you should try checking out Fnac. They used to have a nice selection of English books.

Thank You two for the help
I will see what I think about the books ( reading one page and see if I understand ) ...
Probably I will buy The Stand and World War Z

And then try also to visit Fnac

Thanks again
