ive read most of them, the six Frank Herbert books, the 3 "House" books by his son, Battle of Corrin, The Butlerian Jihad, and THe Machine Crusades
the son is not nearly as interesting. his books read like movie scripts.
my favorites are still Dune, Heretics of Dune and Chapterhouse Dune.
Ender Rises

Indeed.
I've read Dune and a few of it's sequels, it was a while ago though. I need to get my hands on a copy of Dune and read it again, that was awesome if I remember correctly.

Ive kind of had to skip around in the Dune series, my library only has like half of them lol. So I need to find the rest and get the full story.

I recommend Robert Heilein (Stranger in a Strange Land especially.) Orson Scott Card as long as it's from the Ender series, and Robert Forward. Great science fiction writers that even non-SF fans should enjoy.

definitely check out Lord Dunsany and Arthur Machen...amazing amazing writers
also look into Thomas Ligotti! Best horror writer alive (as said by Lovecraft scholar, S.T. Joshi)
still working my way through Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. such an awesome fucking novel. I'd love to see it as a movie. I just ordered Bear Grylls' latest book about climbing everest, and the SAS survive everything guide. fun times

Well, I'm a hardcore Ligotti fanboy, so my opinion of him is biased to say the least.
but yes. any of his material is a great place to start. his early works were more dreamlike and surreal (a few were dedicated to Lovecraft and a couple were almost blatantly written in the Lovecraftian vein). but as his work's progressed it's gotten more pessimistic and antagonistic towards the whole working world and society as a whole. great stuff.

I'm reading The Broker by John Grisham and Drug Lords by Ron Chepesiuk among other various miscellanous stock trading, business, gemology, language etc.. books...
blood meridian is great... theres a movie coming out.... and it looks like it MIGHT be good.

mmmm I don't think they're making a movie out of it yet...I know "No Country for Old Men" is coming out (which is going to be badass), but I think they're having a tough time finding a director (for Blood Meridian) because tommy lee jones holds the rights to the film...and then there's that whole ridiculous violence thing
edit: It's been a dream of Ridley Scott's to direct Blood Meridian, and according to imdb it's coming out in 2009. I really like Ridley Scott's films, so he better not fuck this up...I want to see a lot of scalpings and bushes with dead babies in 'em.
