Recommended books from my readings for the year 2005

1. Abduction,
   (Cook) A good Sci-Fi yarn thats a little slow getting started but developes into a delightful page turner.

2. The Juggler,
   (Morressy)
   A very entertaining and enjoyable story of man in the middle ages who sells his soul to achieve a life's dream.

3. Riotous Assembly
   (Tom Sharp)
   A Monty Python like romp into insanity thats hysterically funny at times, and just a belly shaker the rest.

4. The Iron Lance
   (Lawhead)
   First volume of a trilogy, but a complete story in itself, and a superb historic adventure saga that leaves you wanting more.

5. The Tattooed Soldier
   (Hector Tobar)
   A fascinating look at the consequences of violence and revenge.

6. The Posession of Joel Delaney
   (Ramona Stewart)
   Superb story telling.

7. Great Elephant
   (Alan Scholefield)
   Being a sucker as I am for historic fiction, this was a fascinating story of a Dutch family's alliance with the king of the Zulu nation at the height of it's power.

8. The Samuri's Tale
   (Eric Christian Haugaard)
   Though apparently written for a young person, this was still a fasinating saga set in 16th century Japan.

9. The Footprints of God
   (Greg Iles)
   A real page turner on the folly of going too far with artificial intelligence. Sci-Fi thriller.

10. The Brethren
    (John Grisham)
    Every Grisham book I've read has been good but this one travels in even more fascinating directions than most.

*NOTE: That being in prison, my reading options are very limited, hence this list of old titles. But new or old, a good book remains a good book, and these are indeed good reading.
