Meg is right, Diana Gabaldon and The Outlander series is wonderful!It's historical romance and time travel. Really well done. I just gotthe latest book.Anne Rice The Witching Hour is great. The Stand and Bonesby Stephen King are also a must if you like a little supernatural.The Doomsday Book by Connie Willis and Pillars of the Earth by Ken Folletare two really different types of books that sound weird but will transport you.Doomsday: Sends a Scientist back in time to the 1300's (?) during the Black Plague. She is there to live amongst the people and figure outwhat caused it.Pillars: A man's quest to build a Cathedral. Sounds so boring here...but is not. You can see I like a good story and to escape..Any suggestions.
