Mynd44:
The Bourne Series (Identity, Supremacy and Ultimatum) (Robert Ludlum)
Angels and Demons (Dan Brown)
IT (Stephen King)
Tommyknockers (Stephen King)
Robots of Dawn (Issac Asimov)

Second batch

Harry Potter Series
The Hobbit. (Lord of the Rings was not so hot ad a book)
One week one trouble (Anezi Okoro) Hilarious AF
Violence (Festus Iyayi)
The Lost Symbol (Dan Brown)

Would have added Percy Jackon Series but damn, the book is too childish. Interesting but childish

Where can one get hard copies?

Please who can suggest many novels for me that are in the crime and action thriller like that of Dan Brown? Crime and thriller novels only, if it involves solving puzzles the better.

Seriously, most persons commenting on this thread don't read novels.

For me, the first place goes to malazan book of the fallen by Stephen Erikson. The sheer scope of the book is breadth taking (unfortunately, most on this thread would not be able to go beyond the first book)

Others include :
Codex Alera ( Jim butcher)
wheel of time ( Robert Jordan)
King killer chronicles ( Stephen Rothfuss)
A song of ice and fire ( George R Martin [ game of thrones movie ])
