I spend almost as much time (if not more) picking what to read. Please help me pick out of these novels…
– Dune
– American Gods
– The Terror
– All Quiet on the Western Front
– The Godfather
– Salem’s Lot
– Old Man’s War
– The Deep
– Rosemary’s Baby
If you have any other suggestions I might like based on those, that would be awesome too!

Old Man’s War.
The Godfather or ‘Salem’s Lot.
American God’s in honor of Halloween AND Thanksgiving.
For me when I have a list I read the first chapter or even a page of each one and then decide which one seems the most interesting or which one I want to continue (this helps me alot since I never know what mood I want to read lol)
American Gods
I have not read: *All Quiet, The Deep*, *The Terror*. I have read all the others.
Of them, the only one that I would consider a great book is *Dune*. After *Dune*, I would probably recommend *Salem’s Lot* next, though I don’t think it’s Stephen King’s best (if you want an early doorstopper by King, I would recommend *The Stand* instead).
In my opinion, Scalzi (*Old Man’s War*) and Gaiman (*American Gods*) are overrated. This is an unusual opinion, but I hold it sincerely. I also consider Mario Puzo (*Godfather*) a pretty bad author, and my opinion there is not unusual.
In short: I recommend *Dune* and *Salem’s Lot*.
