Most interesting book i've read recently (where I couldn't put it down) was Licifer's Hammer by Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle. Heres a review:

The gigantic comet had slammed into Earth, forging earthquakes a thousand times too powerful to measure on the Richter scale, tidal waves thousands of feet high. Cities were turned into oceans; oceans turned into steam. It was the beginning of a new Ice Age and the end of civilization. But for the terrified men and women chance had saved, it was also the dawn of a new struggle for survival--a struggle more dangerous and challenging than any they had ever known....

My other favourite books are:

The Stand - Stephen King
Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy
'48 - James Herbert
On the Road - Jack Kerouac

In fact, add anything by Stpehen King & James Herbert to that list.

I love reading, I could talk about books forever!

Spider - Patrick McGrath
The Discworld Series - Terry Pratchett

Forgot to add Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson and Mr Nice by Howard Marks - not really fiction though.

Curley, that Licifer's (Lucifer's?) Hammer sounds really good - I think I might pick it up.

It is, only thing thats a bit off putting is that its based in the 60's, but its still a good read. If your serious about reading it, you may find it hard to get a copy. Let me know, I might be able to help
