Recommend Me Some Good Books

[Link XL1]

band of brothers is good non-fiction


Is band of brothers based off the TV show/Documentary because I love that
Also fail i forgot to mention some of the books I have I already finished all the halo books
looking for the gears of war books cant find them any where

im pretty sure the tv show is based off the book, but ya, they're the same thing

 

[cuppajoe1687]

haha, i totally thought this said "recommend me some good boobs"

OT: Dune...and then read Dune again

 

[Spookimitsu]

add 'a song of fire & ice' series, 'world war z',
'the art of war' - on second thought, don't read that
also 'where the buffalo roam', 'hells angels' by hs thompson

get a library card

Metro 2033

Just finished it myself! What did you think? I found the translation to be a little odd in places and some of the bits about God just pissed me off!

However, the stars of the Kremlin, and that thing underneath it in Metro 2, and any bits on the surface we all very good.

Over all, 8/10.

How did you feel about the ending?

***!!!!SPOILER WARNING!!!!***

I loved the fact that it ended badly for Artyom and humanity, it shows that they learned nothing from the war that destroyed the world. The dark ones had come to help, and given humanity one last chance to save ourselves, but we, again, fuck things up.

It was great that there was no Hollywood ending.

OT,

The Shadow of The Wind, by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.

I reckon I've read about 1000 books (a book a week, more or less, since I was 12) and this one is in my top 5. Amazing!

Red Storm Rising By Tom Clancy, perhaps the single best Cold War WWIII novel I have read to date.

Or, World War Z by Max Brooks, the best Zombie novel that has ever even been thought about.

RSR is awesome, if you liked it, you should check out Eric L. Harry's first two books, Arc Light and Protect and Defend.

OT: a book that lets you spell "recommend" properly...

oh my bad i am trying to get used typing with all fingers so that's probably why there is one less M ill fix that thanks

I agree with one of the first posters that you should definitely read Slaughterhouse Five. Kurt Vonnegut is a great writer, and while reading that you definitely have to give it some time to fully get the message across and understand what's happening/get into reading it.

Another that I would suggest (don't know if anyone else suggested it yet) is: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Definitely should be considered a classic, if it's not already.

 

[R4ptur3]

if your into historical fiction at all, I would recommend the saxon stories by Bernard Cornwell, or really, any book by him lol.

 

[liveslowdiefast]

The God delusion. great read.

 

[axeman157]

Dune, if you love sci-fi, because Dune is like the Grand-dad of science fiction.

 

[theevilgenius60]

Daemon and Freedom, both by Daniel Suarez
The Circle Trilogy(Black,Red,White,Green) by Ted Dekker
Anything Dean Koontz writes
The Electric Church, The Digital Plague,The Eternal Prison,and The Terminal State by Jeff Somers (all about the same character)
All I could think of off the top of my head

 

[EHKOS]

Alice in wonderland and slaughter house 5 seem to be missing from your post.

 

[StormShaun]

The Legend Of Drizzt, read all of them, they are awesome!

 

[Tratchet]

It's comforting to see that so many books I like are also liked by other people. Fahrenheit 451 is excellent, especially if you like dystopian settings, and some other books by C.S. Lewis are very good. His Space Trilogy, The Great Divorce, and The Screwtape Letters are all excellent. However, as opposed to the Chronicles of Narnia which just have Christian overtones (mostly), all of these books are actually about Christianity, and if you're not a religious person you might not enjoy them very much.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is a beautiful, if horribly depressing, book. Keep a bottle of anti-depressants as you read this masterpiece.

Bluesman by Andre Dubus is a good read for someone your age.

I love that book, but unlike many people I think it's probably one of the most uplifting books I've ever read, but I really like "hope in the darkest pits of despair" plots. Most people would probably be extremely depressed by it.

 

[Leadfinger]

A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick will really mess with your head. (The movie was good, too.)

 

[Annoying Turd]

I would recommend reading non-fiction works.

Books like 13 things that don't make sense and the Road to Reality, the Complete Guide to the Universe.

[ChildishLegacy]

Sabriel by Garth Nix, a really good fantasy title.

THIIIIIIIIIIIS

Also you could try The Magicians Guild trilogy by Trudi Canavan if you're into fantasy type stuff.

 

[rofl jet]

TERRY PRATCHETT!!!1!

 

[BrotherSurplice]

I would recommend War of the Worlds, the Sharpe series and the Artemis Fowl series.
