20,000 leagues under the sea, by Jules Verne
or anything else by Verne if you like victorian pseudoscience/ steam-punk you cant go wrong, plus they named the first nuclear submarine after his creation so you know...
Dickens is always a good choice
So is Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle
If you are a historical fiction fan might I suggest Of gods and generals, and its companions, The killer angels, and The last full measure. Here is the fun part, the middle was written by Micheal Shaara, the prequel and the sequel were written by his son Jeff Shaara

The Shadow of the Wind. it is amazing! I cant even decribe the plot. You would have to just read it.Wes1180 said:So soon I'm gonna get a kindle and I'd like some suggestions for books to read, it doesn't matter what genre it is, I wanna see what I like. It doesn't have to be kindle specific so don't think of that as a problem
This probably has been done loads so yeah...
P.s. Please, no hate on the kindle or people's suggestions, Thanks
Any of the Sherlock Holmes novels or short stories. They're written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - if you were wondering.

Ender's Game, and all books expanding on it.
As for my favorite way to read books, with my eyes.
As for my favorite way to read books, with my eyes.
Most of my favorites (Callahan's, Dexter (only the first one), Discworld, Dresden Files, Wizard of Oz (only the ones by L. Frank Baum) (MUCH better than that stupid film), Robert Asprin's Myth, Narnia, Rick Cook's Wizardry (excluding the first one), Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time) have already been suggested multiple times, so let's see what I can add...
How Not to Write a Novel by Howard Mittelmark and Sandra Newman. Two career editors teamed up to make a guide to avoiding the writing mistakes that have been made by thousands before you. If you keep making mistakes, at least you'll be making original ones. Should be mandatory reading for anyone who plans on writing anything, and even if you don't, they have a wicked, sometimes anarchic, sense of humor. Examples:
John Dies at the End by David Wong. I didn't understand this at the time, but now I feel it's like looking inside the head of someone suffering from severe schizophrenia. Real-world schizophrenia, not Hollywood multiple personality dreck. It's some of the best horror I've read (though I haven't read a lot of horror), yet it's also some of the funniest lowbrow humor I've read, and somehow those two aspects mesh rather than clash. I've seen it described pretty accurately as "Harold and Kumar Punch out Cthulhu".

There's also Understanding Comics and Making Comics by Scott McCloud. If you like comics and/or enjoy a discussion of theory and design for its own sake, they're a treat. I found them deeply insightful. He also wrote Reinventing Comics in between those, but, uh... opinions of that one are much more variable. (Now that I think about it, I'm not sure you can read graphic novels on a Kindle.)

Make that the Abridged Moby Dick. The unabridged version is 50% The Great American Novel and 50% no-longer-scientifically-accurate marine biology lesson.Burck said:
No. No, it's not. Pointy-headed intellectuals like to masturbate about it, but it's just not well edited.Baldry said:
Anything by Terry Pratchett (Though I'm quite partial to the Death series (Mort, Reaper Man, Soul Music etc.) myself.
Also Stephen King's The Dark Tower. It's a good series.
