Can't find it at my library.

I saw the following:
Poetic Death Series (4 books)
The Mantra for Murder Mysteries (only one book out right now) ]]> Book Discussion Momof2boys2005 http://mommysavers.com/boards/book-discussion/137666-quick-question-re-girl-detective-diana-killian.html http://mommysavers.com/boards/book-discussion/137418-looking-long-book-two.html Sat, 24 Oct 2009 21:54:31 GMT I have one, and possibly two, credits on paperbackswap to use, and I'm lost. I've already purchased the last of the Dark Tower series to finish my need of the whole set (which I've read all of them up to these last two). The Dark Tower set has turned into a bit of an obession, so if you have read them, and liked/loved them, what else would you recommend?

I have also been digging some of my other classics I like. I've recently read the following:
Les Miserables
Atlas Shrugged
The Fountainhead
A nifty set of books of King Arthur tales (more kid like but a good read)
The Odyssey by Homer
Gone with the Wind
The Narnia set
C.S. Lewis's Trilogy
Treasure Island
An Anthology of Jack London's work (including White Fang, Sea Wolf, Call of the Wild etc)

I'm looking for bigger books, at least 800 pages or more. The bigger the better. I like shorter stuff, but really would like something that is a good long read - I have a tendency to reread those and that makes them worth keeping for me :)

I don't care for Dickens at all, or some of the wordy pastoral books -I want a story, not scenery. Hemingway has never appealed to me much, and I don't really want prose.

Help? Ideas? I don have a lot of books already - I've "cut back" on some, so only about 1000 in house - for now.

I like books :) ]]> Book Discussion booker81 http://mommysavers.com/boards/book-discussion/137418-looking-long-book-two.html
