Anne Rice is the author of a series of vampire books, among other topics.
She a wonderful writer with books that are immensely interesting.

Dances with Wolves
Michael Blake born July 5, 1945 is an American author, best known for his film adaptation of his novel Dances with Wolves.
I read the book before the premier of the film adaptation.
It's a great story, fascinating that kept me captivated from the first chapter to the last word in the book ...
In some chapters I read in tears and others I felt a dislike for the treatment the Indians received and are manifested in this novel.
Apart from having grown up in an era of cowboys and Indians films, indigenous culture has been an interesting topic for me and the author delves deeply into explaining certain features.

The Godfather
written by Mario Puzo (October 15, 1920 – July 2, 1999) was an American and, known for his writing work about the Mafia.
A very interesting book, very dramatic.
Someone told me that the story of the singer is part of the life of Sinatra, but who knows....
Book is very captivity, difficult to put beside ... I have read in English, Spanish, and the last time I read it in Swedish .... I like very much despite the fact that the book dropped into the darkness after the début of the movie ... But for someone who likes to read is a wonderful example of the life of a Mafia family ...

Lady Chatterley's Lover
Is a novel by David Herbert Lawrence written in 1928.
This was a very controversial novel and I read "the underground edition" issued by Inky Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929.
I read this book on the sly, and in spite of being an edition as famous as it was Inky Stephensen's had published I had to hide behind a wardrobe ..
A book that at my fourteen years was a revelation for its explicit sex scenes .. This book was incredible for me and it was more enlightened than Pierre Loti's "Aziyadé" well I was only fourteen.

Aziyadé
Aziyadé is a novel by French author Pierre Loti.
Originally published anonymously, it was his first book.
It was also the first serious book I read, I was ten years old.
And as today I remember reading about two people in loved, 27-year old man illicit love affair with a 18 year old harem girl named Aziyadé. And how they think many ways die together.
An eternal kiss while they drown is my most vivid memory of this book.

One Hundred Years of Solitude
Is a novel by winning -Nobel Prize Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez.
A fantastic book, full of fantastic colours and the dramatics of real life.
The writer tells the stories her grandmother told him as a child, stories that filled his head with fear and ghosts.
A book that looses the richness of folk language in the translations.
A difficult but exciting plot and utterly fascinating.
I have read this book many, many times in Spanish, English and Swedish

La Divina Commedia
Everybody known him as Dante, He was an Italian poet of the Middle ages.
Dante was writer of "La Divina Commedia" as Boccaccio came to call and we all through time has come to know.
Is been considered the greatest literary work composed in Italian language and a masterpiece of world literature.
I like this epic poem it's a bit difficult to understand, mostly because of the different translations of the old Italian language, but if you read it slowly and a few times you will come to love it.

"The Odyssey" and "The Iliad"
Homer
"The Odyssey" and "The Iliad"
Homer is a legendary ancient Greek epic poet.
I like this books. Both write in narrative poetry wish is among the oldest form of writing, narrative poetry takes the form of a novel written in verse.
Martin West thinks "Homer" is not the name of a historical poet, but a fictitious or constructed name. You can read this in his "Homeric Hymns. Homeric Apocrypha. Lives of Homer"
I enjoy these stories very much.
You can find them in narrative poetry as well in common language writing but i prefer the narrative poetry.
I recommend them both.
