Ok so everyone has a list of the "greatest books ever" and can't wait to share with the rest of the world....WELL heres your chance. Go ahead an let us all know the best books youve ever read...and hey if you have names of publishers to go with it so we can go and track them down that would be great. So i'll go ahead and go first.

BEST BOOKS/SERIES EVER (drumroll)
1. 9 book series by Winston Churchill detailing the events of the first and second world war. AN incredible source of primary material. (yummy)
2. History of Warfare by John Keegan. An interesting overview of the different styles of warfare and how they apply to modern conflict. (yummmmy)
3. Complete collection of Shakespeare. Yeah I know im a little demented by placing this third.
4. History of the English Speaking People by Winston Churchill. Yeah yeah he gets top billing once again but this series is a very well rounded compilation of European/English history.
5. Illiad by Homer. Achilles, need I say more?
6. Aenid by whats his face...Forget the name but really enjoy good Roman propaganda when I read it.
7. Beowulf by the poet who was hung in chains until he completed it.

Ok Ok....I can hear the yawns already so I will make my list a little more modern.

8. Wheel of Time by robert jordan. YOU cant lose with a good fantasy opera.
9. John Falkenberg's Legion by Jerry Pournelle. If you havent read this one then you are missing out on when space opera was good.
10. Paksenarrion Dorthansdottir by Elizabeth Moon. The only good book that she has ever written and recomend it to all that havent checked it out yet.
11. The starfire series by David Weber and Steve White. GREAT space opera before Weber became all sappy and stupid with Honor Harrington.

OK OK...Im sure I lost about half of you to the yawns so i'll stop there...Feel free to post since i'd love to hear your suggestions.
