MikeC26 09.06.13	A Clockwork Orange (don't brush it off even if you've seen the movie, the book goes SO much harder) and 1984 are a couple of shorter reads that have changed my life. I'm gonna try and check out Catch 22 but with school starting up it's hard to find time...
Calc 09.06.13	Go here: goodreads.com cuz hopefully you need more than a bunch of people spouting titles and authors at you.
Relinquished 09.06.13	"Conrad - Heart of Darkness" cmon that's gonna be too hard for him
MasBarHigeuoris21 09.06.13	If you love the godfather you'll love The Family Corleone. I think it's by Mario Puzo but I could be wrong Anne Rice - The Vampire Lestat Anne Rice - Memnoch the Devil James Patterson - Along Came A Spider Steven King Books: The Stand It Salem's Lot Cell Desperation

Avagantamos 09.06.13	Brave New World
MasBarHigeuoris21 09.06.13	"Conrad - Heart of Darkness" Yeah, this book would be too hard. Way too much symbolism. If you don't understand the symbolism then the book becomes boring as fuck.

InbredJed 09.06.13	Lol!
Nagash 09.06.13	Well, there is quite a lot of outstanding books, but wether you read them or not really is up to you. Anyways, here is a very very very small list of masterpieces i red a few times. Hemingway - For whom the bell tolls Hemingway - Old man and the sea (short, yet a real treasure) Steinbeck - The pearl Dostoevsky - Crime and punishment Brontë - Wuthering Heights Camus - The Stranger Faulkner - As i lay dying Melville - Moby Dick Orwell - Animal Farm (and if you're into it, 1984) Huxley - Brave New World Achebe - Things fall apart (i cannot stress how amazing this book is) Have a good time reading, lad' :)
SmersH 09.06.13	man... i love the classics but really, there's a bit more out there than just what's on your English class reading list.. i suppose to each their own. but really, avoid palahniuk and salinger... unless you're 14...
ZombicidalMan 09.06.13	For a quick, fun read Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy. You can finish it easily in a day, it's such a wonderful book. Went on a Murakami spree recently, read Norwegian Wood, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, A Wild Sheep Chase, and Sputnik Sweetheart. Next is Dance, Dance, Dance. Out of those A Wild Sheep Chase was my favourite (plus it's not too long). I'm also reading My Name Is Red and I Am A Cat. And I agree with The Trial, Brave New World (one of my favourites ever), and any Lovecraft as suggestions.
Nagash 09.06.13	By the way, i you're up for some "lyrical" reading, give a try to Paradise Lost and Dante's Inferno. Outstanding pieces of work. You should also definitely check out Homer's epics - the Odyssey and the tale of the Trojan War, are lavish classics. An if you enjoy reading a play - which isn't exactly the point of a play, but who cares - look into Goethe's Faust.
EaglesBecomeVultures 09.06.13	kafka on the shore - murakami the stranger - camus white teeth - zadie smith inherent vice - pynchon
toxin. 09.06.13	the chances of him reading more than 3 of these are pretty much zero but keeping rec'ing him stuff heart of darkness rules
MrSirLordGentleman 09.06.13	1984, Rainbow Six, and anything from Conan Doyle, Christie, Hesse, Cortazar or Garcia Marquez
qwe3 09.07.13	"Achebe - Things fall apart" or: "Yams Yams and More Yams: This Time It's Yams" that said great great book
