hey everyone, post here if you have a favorite book/series. 

my favorite book series of books  is the bourne series, by robert ludlum and eric van lustbader.  they're great books about a clandestine agent.

Hmm...right now I would say the best series is the Horus Heresy series of Warhammer 40K.  I'm only three books in, but it is some of the best mil sci-fi I've read in a long time. 

i get the feeling chess and literature goes hand in hand pretty nicely. Lots of book-threads here.
