Reccomend me a book

[Dabono]

Wow. Your book shelf looks so much like mine!

So I'm going to recommend any Garth Nix books. The Abhorsen trilogy was mentioned, I also really like Mister Monday (and the 6 sequels) and the Seventh Tower.
I also need to second the recommendation of the Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb.

If you liked the Game of Thrones, Brian Sanderson might be a good read too. (He's currently ending the Wheel of Time series).

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

American Gods
Anansi Boys
Neverwhere

all by Neil Gaiman

A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin
The Stand by Stephen King

These should keep you busy

Harry Turtledoves "the darkness" Series. Starts off with 'Into the Darkness'. It is an incredibly well written piece of fantasy (Dragons, magic, the whole nine yards) and surprisingly counts somewhat as historical fiction.

It is adult fiction though. Sex, violence, murder, and death are described in detail but none of it is needless and everything just gets you more into the story.

The Little Prince. It's very short. About an hour read but I think it's genius and has changed peoples look on life. You should definitely add it to your collection.

 

[tstilwell]

Different from most of what you have read, but try the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich:

One for the Money
Two for the Dough
Three to get Deadly
Four to Score
High Five
Hot Six
Seven Up
Hard Eight
To the Nines
Ten Big Ones
Eleven on Top
Twelve Sharp
Lean Mean Thirteen
Fearless Fourteen
Finger Lickin' Fifteen
Sizzling Sixteen
Smokin' Seventeen

Damn, i was jus goin through these and i was like, well how about the spooks apprent... or how about the skullduggery plea....

since you got alot of fantasy books there then i can seriously recommend the Septimus Heap collection by Angie Sage, an extremely captivating book series. (6 of them)

other suggestions i could make are:

The dark is rising sequence by Susan Cooper (Still reading, Awesome so far).

The dragonology chronicles by Dugald A. Steer (VERY GOOD).

The Lord of the rings (Better than the films in my opinion)

And Finally if you dont own this book then your mad, The Hobbit, my Favourite book of all time, F*CK me, I have never found a book so hard to put down.

 

[Grospoliner]

Try:
The Dark is Rising
Eisenhorn
Ravenor
Gaunt's Ghosts
Nochnoy Dozor
Mad Merlin
Anathem
The Runelords
Thursday Next

THE RUNNING MAN OR YOU DIEEEEEE

 

[MordinSolus]

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.

Read some Arthur Clarke. Some of the best science fiction ever. Try books like "The City and the Stars" or the Space Odyssey series. Really, really good stuff.

 

[Rubucopter]

Among Thieves by Douglas Hulick

Its pretty new but I read it in a few days and was totally absorbed in the characters and the conflict.

 

[Mrrrgggrlllrrrg]

I also recently read Metro 2033, the book. It can be a bit long and drawn-out at times, but having played the game and loved every bit of that, reading the book is really fascinating, because it gives a much better insight into that world, the different factions and what it's like living down there. If you've played the game, I definitely recommend giving the book a chance.

Why hello there, in this case may I suggest some good books based in the Metro universe;

Метро 2033 Ниже ада (Metro 2033 Hell Below) by Andrew Grebenshchikov

Метро 2033 Увидеть солнце (Metro 2033 See the Sun) by Sergei Moskvin

Метро 2033 К свету (Metro 2033 By the Light)
Метро 2033 Во мрак (Metro 2033 In the Darkness) by Andrew Clerks

Метро 2033 Станция-призрак (Metro 2033 The Station Ghost) by Anna Kalinkina - Haven't read yet but I was told it's good, been busy lately so eventually.

I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic genres.

 

[souper soup guy]

I would recommend the hobit, its a really good story, and not as thick as the rest of the series.
If you want a little heavier books though, you have read dance of dragons right? Also didn't see the lord of the ring trilogy, or dune, both of witch are great book series.
edit: I reread your list and realized the hunger games isn't on that list, its a really really good book. Also, Ender's game if you haven't read it.

 

[Soluncreed]

The Unincorporated man, The Windup Girl, and The Chronicles of the black company. They're all smart, enjoyable books.

The Unincorporated Man is a sci-fi story that takes place in a future where the majority of the power is in the corporations and every person has shares on themselves that they must buy in order to be in control of their lives.

The Windup Girl is about a beautiful woman that was designed to be a servant for a business man, but is now forced to exhibit herself for the pleasure of men. Food is produced in labs, following an epidemic that destroyed much of the worlds food supply.

The Chronicles of the Black Company is about a group of mercenaries that are bought by a mysterious figure called the Lady and takes place in a fantasy world. It's nice because it's from the point of view of the company's scribe who is just an ordinary guy who becomes involved with all powerful wizards. It's a fun series, though there are too many books in it by this point. Read the first three. They are the best.

 

[Worcester Sauce]

Second if not third, forth, fifth,... this!! great series, dreadful film

 

[Zuljeet]

Richard III
book of Job (in the bible; you don't have to be religious to enjoy it)
Ciaphus Cain (WH40K)
Calvin & Hobbes (pick one)
Doonesbury
Bloom County
Grendel War Cry
The Shipping News (movie sucked, book was awesome)
... That pretty much covers the widest possible spread of book genres I can think of

 

[GrimTuesday]

If you like "A Song of Ice and Fire", definitely check out "The Dragon's Path" by Daniel Abraham.

I second this suggestion. I'm reading it right now and I'm loving it.

 

[Mrrrgggrlllrrrg]

Are they even in English? I'm having trouble finding 2034 in English print. Never mind spin offs that aren't actually by Glukhovsky.

I have no clue, I think all of them came out this year so there might be some translation out there but I have no clue where, sorry.

 

[Paul]

Are they even in English? I'm having trouble finding 2034 in English print. Never mind spin offs that aren't actually by Glukhovsky.

Anywhere I've seen them, they're only in Russian. Perhaps there's a chance of an English translation sometime soon though? It would be pretty cool if they released it in English, but with the original Russian covers. That way you'd have a really unique looking cover but an English speaker could still read enjoy the actual story. Metro 2034 is on eBay, but there's no guarantee it will be in English so you may want to use Amazon or another service instead.
