[thedeadwalk!]

Johnny Got His Gun
Tietam Brown
Everworld series
Harry Potter series
Arthur C. Clarke stuff
Have a Nice Day

[Hep Kat]

Johnny Magic and the Card Shark Kids

[secret agent man]

1984

not particularly easy to read cos if u dont pay attention u might miss somethings, but not difficult to understand

[Huber]

Anything by Kurt Vonnegut

[Kurtz]

The Godfather.

Better than the movie.

Cirque Du Freak series
Harry Potter series
1984
Demon in My View
Shattered Mirror

[Mister_Che]

If you aren't adverse to Graphic Novels....

Batman: Black & White Vol. 1
Neil Gaiman's Sandman
Deus Ex Machina

[Interstate]

Anything by Robert Ludlam is good reading.

[Wanker]

The elegant Universe by Brian Greene. C'mon, you know you want to.

tr00f. Amazing read.

The Otherland series, if you're into sci-fi/fantasy type stuff.

Madness and Civilization, or The History of Sexuality, both by Michel Foucalt. Only read if you like philosophy.

The Stranger, by Albert Camus.

All The King's Men, by Robert Penn Warren.

[Pop music sucks]

Han Solo Trilogy by A.C. Crispin.

Paradise Snare
The Hutt Gambit
Rebel Dawn

If you want a conspiricist book, then "Who Killed John Lennon?" by Fenton Bresler.

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris is a great read. Silence of the Lambs is good, not as good as Red Dragon, and finally Hannibal is as good as Silence of the Lambs.

Strictly fantasy, go for some Piers Anthony, like his Castle Roogna, Source of Magic, and Chameleon. Centaur Aisle is alright.

[FlyingPaul_83]

If you aren't adverse to Graphic Novels....

Batman: Black & White Vol. 1
Neil Gaiman's Sandman
Deus Ex Machina

how is that book. I'm interested in it.

Politically driven, but it has its super hero elements. Defenitely a good read, I haven't been dissapointed thus far.

[Congratulations]

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

[Liberi Fatali]

It is hard to recommend books when you don't list any specific genres, but I've enjoyed 1421: The Year China Discovered The World and Tales Of The Otori Trilogy recently.

[thedriveinfan]

any thing my hemmingway or the guy who made the three musketeers and the count of monte cristo, there huge books though so not sure your game for that, also anything by J.D. Salinger is golden imo

[Voodoo Rabbit]

'The Lord Of The Rings' - J.R.R Tolkein
Or
'Carrie' - Stephen King

Both my favourite books...

[croniun]

I have to point this one out because I never have on the forums:

The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan

[Chris K]

Anything Discworld, anything Terry pratchet really.

[Mr.Shankly]

The Handmaid's Tale
Invisible Monster

[divineauthority]

Anything by dan abnett. (specifically the Gaunt's ghosts series. They're mostly warhammer 40k)

Lord of the rings of course.

Anything by R.A.Salvatore

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Ender's Game series

that's my first choice as well. also read Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and the Rum Diary by Hunter S Thompson.

Listen to this person.

*Obviously knows what they're talking about :thumb:...

And to continue, dig up "only you can save mankind". I'd reccomend it for anyone that plays video games, and anyone looking for a good read in general.

[Robert Crumb]

the Rum Diary by Hunter S Thompson.

That's a good 'un, kinda overlooked in the Thompson canon, it seems like.

I'd say check out some Philip K. Dick. I read a couple of his books over the summer, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer and A Scanner Darkly. Good stuff, very versatile writer.

[badtaste]

IT - Stephen King
The Godfather - Mario Puzo

They're close to finishing A Scanner Darkly; even have a preview for it. Be warned though, it has Keanu Reeves, and a strange animation style.

So far its the only novel ive read by him, that's pure novel, not journalism inspired. Worthy read for anyone who even likes him remotely. I'm reading Hell's Angels by him now, its a journalistic book, not really a novel.

[Bass_swede]

Scar Tissue

I'm now reading "About a boy" for english-class in school.. It's decent

[GiB]

God.....I could go on and on.
Feel free to.
