... Ditched a ton of books for the iPad a few years ago, retained a few that couldn't be replaced ... After a few years of reading on the iPad have reverted to buying physical books again ... Last book read ... Don Quixote.

ive read ebooks for years, well before the kindle or any other tablet was out. just used my laptop. tablets made it easier. but my kids prefer physical books. to me its just clutter.

Dune trilogy. +1Dune by Frank Herbert. Don't really care for ereaders, prefer the actual books.
The later books (chapterhouse, etc.) got a bit weird. I didn't enjoy them as much as the first three. -
Try Russell Blake, $5 on kindle store, more on iStore, I travel a lot, hard to take 20 books with you, on iPad, no weight at all.

Robert Shea - Shike 1. Time of the Dragons & Shike 2. Last of the Zinja read both books so many times wore them out so now they stay on bookshelve an now have them on kindle.
P.s Love the Dune series books as well. -
As said above Michael Crichton is great. Lee Childs later Jack Reacher novels are pretty good.
I've been heavily into musical biographies lately. The Beatles, bob Marley, etc. currently looking for a Rolling Stones one. -

Definitely King's best work IMO. Still waiting to see if it ever goes to film. Last pitch I heard was several movies with a television series (same cast) to expand story between films. I know film doesn't normally do books justice but, if done carefully, could be a true film experience.The Dark Tower(series)-Stephen King
