djocelot
07.10.09 | enders game is by orson scott card. freakin classic.
if you are into sci-fi or millitary type stuff i highly recommend "the forever war" by joe haldeman. |
Piglet
07.10.09 | Ender's Game is a book I really really want
The Forever War... I've read that. It was reasonable |
Fort23
07.10.09 | if you like Palahniuk try fight club and invisible monsters theyre both verry similiar. |
robertsona
07.10.09 | go dog go |
Comatorium.
07.10.09 | If you like Pahlaniuk, check out his new book, Pygmy. I just bought it and am a few pages in. Good so far.
Also, definitely Ham on Rye by Charles Bukowski, i saw someone else rec'd that.
Let the Right One In by John Lindqvist. Its like Twilight. But really fuckin good.
And my personal favorite as of late, The Strain by Guillermo del Toro. Good ass vampire thriller.
Also, Duma Key by Stephen King. His best since The Stand. |

07.10.09 | I still need to read Dune. Hitchhiker's guide is awesome, and The Road is great, but I thought Blood Meridian by him was better. |
foreverendeared
07.10.09 | 3 was a good book until the very end, then it became my favorite book of all time. Survivor is Palahniuk's best of coarse. I recommend: The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath), anything by Kurt Vonnegut (especially if you like Palahniuk), Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (Susanna Clarke), anything by William Faulkner. My favorite book of all time is Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. i highly recommend it. |
shade
07.10.09 | ^I've been meaning to look into vonnegut. As I Lay Dying (Faulkner) is really good. |
foreverendeared
07.10.09 | oh yeah As I Lay Dying is genius. Oh, i forgot to recommend Neil Gaiman. Everything he's ever written is really really good. Probably the best modern writer. He really only has a few truly original ideas out there, but he's so good at telling a story it's impossibly not to love him. Get 'The Graveyard Book' by him. It's supposedly a kids book, but it's like his Coraline a lot in that it's really too creepy for kids. The idea behind it is a lot like The Jungle Book (hence similar title) but instead of a child being raised by animals, it's a boy being raised by ghosts and spirits in a graveyard. |
shade
07.10.09 | I know somebody who has recommended Gaiman to me. i'll check it out. |
foreverendeared
07.10.09 | yeah he's great. several of his books have been made into movies and his best work is probably with the Graphic Novel series Sandman. good luck getting that whole series without going broke though |
shade
07.10.09 | how many volumes is it? |
foreverendeared
07.11.09 | There's a compilation of Sandman that has 4 volumes, each one with 20 issues. Each of these volumes will set you back about 100 bucks. If anything is worth that price though it's Sandman. (which is NOT about a man made of sand by the way ha) |

07.11.09 | Nah, I was kidding. I was actually planning to read some great books this summer but uhh things did not pan out that way. Maybe i'll go find some Lovecraft before August hits. One book everybody needs regardless of variation is The Cattle Raid Of Cooley. Cuchulainn = greatest mythological war hero ever. |
