I just got a kindle for Christmas, but I'm not much of a book person. Recommend me some good books.
I enjoy pretty much any setting as long as it's interesting.
Sword of Truth, by Terry Goodkind
Kingkiller Chronicles, by Patrick Rothfuss
Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordan/ Brandon Sanderson
Night Angel Trilogy, by Brent Weeks
And the seldom recommended on this site: Attikus Kodiak Series, but Greg Rucka
Those are all really really good, and that's several months reading or more.
If you'd prefer something a little less dense but just as fun try
Inheritance Cycle, by Christopher Paolini
Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan
Ranger's Apprentice series, by John Flannagan
Deltora Quest series, Emily Rhoda
If you haven't read it yet:
Harry Potter, by JK Rowling
Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer(probably didn't spell that right)
Lord of the Rings, by Tolkein
If you prefer something with a bit more romance in it:
try just about anything by Patricia Briggs, Mercy Thompson series and Alpha and Omega series are both really really good.
Also, I suggest just about anything written by Chris Crutcher. He writes YA stuff but it's really good, even if you're not YA. I wouldn't suggest it if you're over 30 though, probably a little boring. I particularly liked Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes, Run if you Dare, Running Loose, Iron Man, Chinese Handcuffs, and Deadline. That's more than half of what he wrote.
I am a big book reader, and these would be my first suggestions.
Edit
Can't believe I forgot the Dragaeran or Vlad Taltos series, by Steven Brust. Amazing, it's a great series that lives by it's amazing characters. If you love sarcastic main characters, than this is one series you absolutely can't allow yourself to miss. It can be read in just about any order(that's what the author intended) but I personally prefer publishing order, though chronological order wouldn't steer you wrong either(yes that's correct, they weren't written chronologically)
