Suggest some good books

[Loyal 2 da game]

so until i get a better job this summer i'm looking for some good books to read. currently i've read every single book in my house like 2 times and i'm looking to really get some new good books. especially since i haven't read through a novel in months and months now. i like most genres so suggest whatever.

thanks guys

 

[Emperor Nero]

Any books or essays by Hunter S. Thompson
The Prestige by Christopher Priest
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King
Any Issac Assimov, Phillip K. Dick, or Robert A. Heinlein books.
All of H.P. Lovecraft's work
Any Clive Barker book in the Books of Blood series
Godel, Escher, Back Douglas Hofstader

That is a small list, and I know I could think of more. Just can't think of any right now.

 

Are you into Fantasy?

The Belgariad + Mallorean series by David Eddings is pretty good.

Also, The Night Angel by Brent Weeks is a nice take on assassins.

Are you looking for novels or just books in general?


If you like non-fiction:

A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson

This is Your Brain on Music - Daniel Levitin

The Hunger Games is a very good series to read.

 

[inpherus]

"The brain that changes itself" - Norman Doige
- about neuroplasticity, the discovery that our everchanging brain has the ability to allow blind people to see again, improve learning difficulties, and such, a very interesting read

Abhorsen series by Garth Nix remains my third favorite series to this day, only after Harry Potter and Eragon

Never read the Game of Thrones, but I guess it's supposed to be a good series.

Catch22, any day!

thanks for the suggestions guys, and especially thanks for the hunter s thompson books, i was going to read some of his works awhile ago but i completely forgot his name lol.

 

[Skyrim Fanboy]

The Da Vinci Code
Angels & Demons
The Lost Symbol (By far my favorite from Dan Brown, all of these are by him. Not to mention this one will be made into a movie and be released later this year! The other two have already been made into movies.)

 

[Promethium91]

Twilight.

No, but seriously, Polaris by Jack McDevitt is probably my favorite book of all time. It's fantastic.

 

The Giver - Lois Lowry
The Oursiders - S. E. Hinton

Both are wonderful books, I highly recommend reading them.

Most books by John Saul are great...The dexter series by Jeff Lindsey or most books by stephen king. I really liked the Bachman books by him...The Long Walk is my favorite Stephen King book.

 

[♥Purple♥]

Anything by Ellen hopkins and two other great amazing books are "Exit here" And "It's kind of a funny story".

 

[OMG DRAGON CLAWZ]

The Great Gatsby, Uncle Tom's Cabin, And Canterbury Tales. are my favorite 3 books. Great Gatsby starts slow but it ends great!

The Hunger Games is a very good series to read.

yes, read all three of the books, they are amazing

 

[MohtasaUnique]

yes, read all three of the books, they are amazing

ew no, The Hunger Games were terrible after the first book. The second and third read like a 3rd grader wrote them.

look I know everyone hates it, but To Kill a Mockingbird is a good movie..

I'm also a fan of classics like:
The war of the worlds
Treasure Island
Moby Dick
uhm..
all that old shit..
