So, Escapists, heres the deal: I NEED NEW BOOKS. It's gotten to the point where I'm not even deciding which bokk to read, I'm deciding which book to REread. I'll read... pretty much anything, I suppose, although I do stay mainly within the realm of fiction. I don't mind historical fiction, but I find myself bored by most non-fiction books. But, y'know, whatever floats your boat. Or flies your plane. Or autopilots your UFO. Or types in the coordinates for a teleport. Whatever.

EDIT: Here's a list of all of my books.

The Harry Potter series. The Bartimaeus trilogy. Roar. The House of the Scorpion. Wringer. The boy who couldn't die. Pleasing the Ghost. Birth of a Killer. The cirque du freak series. A Child of Hitler. (That's not litterally about hitler's child, it's written by someone who was in the Nazi youth. Just so you know.) The golden udder. The series of unfortaunate events series. The Spook's Apprentice series. The absolutely true diary of a part time indian. The secrets of the immortal Nicolas flamel series. His Dark Materials series. The chickens are restless. The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. The Looking Glass Ears series. Nation. Pump ix. Mortal Negines, book 1. The Glister. Merlin's Dragon. For the Win. The H.I.V.E. books. Darkwood. The Throne of Fire. Incarceron and Sapphique. The Pit Dragon Trilogy. Mogworld. Winter's End. Hidden Talents and True Talents. The Secret Country. Game of Thrones. Larklight series. The Thin Executioner. The Road. Dinotopia Lost. The Chronicles of Prydain. Alice in Quantum Land. Little Brother. The Airborn Trilogy. The Hundred Thousand KIngdoms. The Artemis Fowl series. No Pretty Pictures. The Cronus Chronicles. The Robe of Skulls. Fablehaven series. The Faerie Wars series. Graceling. A Short History of Nearly Everything. Triskellion. The Crispin Series. The Edge Chronicles. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series. Discordia. Lord of the Flies. Search. The Demonata. Inkheart series. Havoc. Malice. Nomansland. Dark Life. Savvy and Scumble. AND! The Skulduggery Pleasant series.

I reccomend each and every one of these books.
2 things:

1) Christ monkey balls! That's a lot of books.

2) My thoughts while reading this:
"Hm... I should recommend Dark Materi-No, he has that... Ooh! Artemis Fow-No... Ohh!-No...DAMNIT!

3) If your into weird romances, or are a teenage girl, Twilight.




that was three things i just felt i should point it out

I'd recommend the Amber Chronicles by Roger Zelazny and anything by Gene Wolfe. Probably start off with his Wizard Knight duo.

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Lucifer box trilogy they are pretty funny,world war z, farenheit 451, hokkaido highway blues - this is a travel book but it's one I really enjoyed, yes man non fiction again but it's really uplifting so to speak, Norwegian Wood, tales of the otori trilogy, wicked

Some are a bit different from what you normally read but I have read lots of the books you have and these ones I really enjoyed and were something a little bit different.

If you enjoyed the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series I think you'd enjoy the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Though aimed a bit younger I thought they were great books.

You are awsome my friend.
Try the Oath of the empire series. Its long and starts slow, but its a great series. Historical fiction. Rome in its decay and there is magic. Pretty good
EDIT: sorry double post.
Also try the Song/annals (its one of them) of Drakkis. Its a great series where the author flips the way things useally go...the elves are evil and are out to conquer everyone else. its really good.
DOUBLE EDIT: the series is the annals of drakis. The first book is the song of the dragon.

Would you believe me if I said that I'm Beethoven's descendant and, therefore, bad at math?

Ray Bradbury 100 greatest short stories.

Not to much of a commitment and is nice to pick and read everyone once of a while.

"One Of Us" by Michael Marshall Smith

Its a bizarre story about a near future where companies illegally hire people to handle other people's memories for a few hours. You want to have an affair but want none of the guilt while you do it? Boom! Forget you have a wife. Want to look more innocent at a company security meeting? Bang! Forget you embezzled funds. Unfortunately our "hero" gets left with the memory of a murder and needs to find the woman who gave it to him to give it back. Sounds stupidly serious but it has a strange dark humour tone to it. Appliances can talk, smoking is an A class felony and the internet is an actual place patrolled by scary age checking digital nannies at every access point to porn. Interesting.

The Stand by Stephan King (if you are bro enuff to get past the first half. It's 1134 pages long and rivals Atlus Shrug in longness and boring first half)

& My unheard book suggestion, Sandman Slim by Richard Kaudry. Seriously people, pick up this book the third on is coming out in October and it's the one thing non-videogame related I'm excited for!

Anasi Boys - Neil Gaimen, great off beat weird fiction sort of tale. Anything by Gaimen is solid, I know he gets mentioned on here a lot, he deserves the praise.

Can't wait to check out some of the works mentioned in this thread.

"The Passage" by Justin Cronin (2010). A post-apocalyptic epic tale that borrows heavily from "The Stand" and "I am Legend."
