Im gonna start reading some books, suggest em.

[Haakmed]

If you want some good scifi read David Weber's books. Just about every single one I have read were worth reading.(the exceptions were still good reads just they were the next book in the series and were not the best book.) The First book I suggest is "On Basilisk Station"

Also one of the best book series I have ever read is called The Posleen War series by John Ringo. The First one here is "A Hymn Before Battle" I'm sitting here waiting for the next book and its not showing up fast enough!

 

[Merlynstorm]

Frank Herbert's Dune series.
Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series.
George R.R. Martin's A Song of Fire and Ice series.

 

[EHKOS]

Sue Grafton and Robert B. Parker are amazing. R.I.P. to the latter.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Anything by Jack Whyte.
The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks.
The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.

 

[Vredesbyrd67]

Cyrano de Bergerac

Red Dragon

The Red Badge of Courage

American Gods

Anything by Lovecraft

 

[WestMountain]

JPod.

 

[Del-Toro]

Children of Hurin! :0 My favourite Tolkien book, and probably my favourite book of all time.

ALL TIME.

*Chucks microphone*

Hurrah! Someone else who has read that book.

I recommend it, I would also recommend anything in the Warhammer 40k Imperial Guard series, if you like something that goes down easy. Also, as many history books as you can, I'd suggest Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire, if you want something to absolutely drown in.

 

[Wes1180]

Thanks everyone, any more and I think I'll end up dying or something so I think I'll start when I get my kindle

 

[CultistRat]

I know that this has already been said, but anything and everything by Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.
Also, Lovecraft.

 

[niege]

Everything by H.P Lovecraft and J.R.R Tolkien is golden
and Darlah 172 Hours on the moon that is a "horrific" sci-fi book.

 

[Kanlic]

As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
Suttree and Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
In 40 Years We'll all be Chicks by Adam Carolla

 

[Keptu]

I can't recommend The Songs of Ice and Fire-series by George R. R. Martin high enough.
Also,
John Dies at the End by David Wong,
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon,
The Road by Cormac McCarthy,
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card,
and anything by Douglas Coupland (JPod, Microserfs, and Hey Nostradamus! in particular).

 

[Gudrests]

War and Peace

What? Too much?

Ok fine, then pretty much anything by Orson Scott Card.

THIS..the Ender series...Enders Game, Speaker for the dead, Enders Shadow (same as game just from a diffrent person's perspective) and about 9 others?....and you will be in love

Yes man, way better than the film so so funny read it though the night didn't put it down.

 

[ninjaman 420]

one flew over the cuckoo's nest
American Gods by Neil Gaiman, anything by Neil Gaiman actually
Propaganda by Edward Bernay's
1984
the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy series
Anything by H.P. lovecraft
Anything by J.R.R Tolkien
Wanna know a good book I read in high school that no one ever says they've read? Staying fat for Sarah Burns. I don't remember the author though
If you like comics I recommend a graphic novel called DEMO. Its 12 stories about regular people getting superpowers and its not so much about fighting crime, but how these powers effect these peoples lives and how they cope. I really liked it personally.

 

[Wes1180]

Yes man, way better than the film so so funny read it though the night didn't put it down.

I'll probably end up doing the same, i thought the film wasn't too good or too bad... it could have been better for sure

 

[Fetzenfisch]

The most i would recommend was recommended before, so i just say, you might want to give Markus Heitz a chance, a very great Author, whose books are now available in pretty good english translations.


P.S This is one of the Thread-type were i cant be annoyed by the fact it is done every other week, either there are some really great recommendations in it, or i get reminded of some books i saw or read about months or years ago.
Thanks to the guys reminding me of "World War Z" and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" i just ordered both, together with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

 

[Arenari]

The Passage by Justin Cronin
Ancestor by Scott Sigler

Both are completely amazing books, at least to me.

 

[Burck]

When you feel ready for an epic, try reading Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
Warning: Its a really hard read.

Until then, the "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" trilogy by Douglas Adams is a great place to start. The first three books are good, but the ones afterwards aren't so much.

 

[Funnyfac3]

Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Children of Hurin, and all books by Ted Dekker
