Good books?

[SpaceSpork]

Are there any good books that you really recommend? Nothing philosophical, just a really good book or two.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

The Time Machine by H.G. Welles is a good read.

 

[Trendkill6]

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

'Tis all.

Oryx and Crake by: Margaret Atwood.

Tis about a dystopic future, that is really all I want to say.

It is easily my favourite book. A very good read and quite scary how realistic it is, which does make it kind of scary.

 

[Axle_Bullitt_19]

Jurassic Park and The Lost World.

And Don't even think of saying "But I saw the Movie so why would I need to read the book?"

 

[MagicMouse]

The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan


or The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind

 

[Kasawd]

The Books of Fire and Ice are excellent. Best series I've ever read and am awaiting the final book.

Also, try the Assassins trilogy.

 

[delet]

The Black Company series by Glen Cook. 10 books of pure, science fictiony goodness (think Lord of the Rings, but less Bombadill and more war)

 

[Zetsubou]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Also their's never anything wrong with The Good Book...

 

[Aqualung]

Are there any good books that you really recommend?

Well-!

Nothing philosophical, just a really good book or two.

...Crap.

Uh... Children of Hurin?

 

[iPatrick]

Digital Fortress, The Gunslinger, Interview with the Vampire.

 

[Puzzles]

A Song of Fire and Ice - George R.R. Martin

Dune - Frank Herbert (A little philosophical, but a damn good read.)

 

[Heart of Darkness]

I just got finished reading Why We Suck by Dr. Denis Leary. Give it a go if you want a laugh.

 

[Joe Matsuda]

"Battle Royale"

[Bailos]

Anything by R.A. Salvatore. Unless you [aren't/don't want your friends to know you're/don't want to be] a nerd, dork, geek, or all around loser. I keep my Salvatore books secret >_>

 

[sagacious]

Well, if you somehow missed the chronicles of narnia read those, Maybe tryout the inheritance cycle.

I like fantasy...

 

[Hammer781227]

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. One of the best books I've ever read. Or anything written by Jim Butcher

 

[Necrofudge]

Haunted
by chuck Palahniuk

It's my standard recommendation for people of all ages. Assuming you can handle it, that is.
