wont post mine
my books tend to be childish and these guys are posting stuff considered by many to be classics
i dont read the big long philosophical classics

Childish books? Whaddya mean?

well...not as mature an audience than the books mostly spoke about in the first page but maybe childish is the wrong word
before-adulthood books really
Percy Jackson and the olympians
the inheritance cycle
his dark material (debatable)
yes childish is the wrong word as my list went straight from a fun adventure series to full on christian controversy

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, it's the only American Classic book that I've read where I felt it actually deserved that title.

If you happen to be a fan of the Mass Effect series, there's three Mass Effect books out. The titles are Revelation, Ascension, and just released today, Retribution. I haven't read Retribution yet, but if it's anything like the previous books, it's very good.

Gotrek & Felix Series - warhammer slayer novels are my current fav

 

[Shoggoth2588]

You should read THE good book

Here is another book which you should read (feel free to judge it by it's cover because it is that awesome)

 

[Critical Five]

Anything written by Neal Stephenson. Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon are must reads! I am almost done reading Anathem.

 

[Hexadecimal]

His Dark Materials. It really is one of the best series I've read, despite a lot of people referring to it as 'childish'. Utter BS, I say.

If you're looking for non-fiction, then I suggest The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. It's an excellent book.

Also, Twitterature is by far one of the funniest books I've read. It's technically a compilation of Twitterified summaries of classics, but whatever. 'Tis awesome.

 

[Blackdoom]

Nineteen Eighty Four by George Orwell. I recommend reading it

 

[evantrees]

sci-fi of one sort or another
ender's game by orson scott card(still my favorite book)
the hyperion cantos by dan simmons
Ilium also by dan simmons
two classics
frankenstein by mary shelly
the sparrow by Mary Doria Russell two
Dune by Frank Herbert
vaccuum diagrams or anything really by stephen baxter(sort of an overview of his whole xeelee sequence) bit more hard sci-fi
stardoc by S.L. Viehl
Dan abnett's warhammer 40k novel's are great, never played the game and still love of and love my public library.
and I love the star wars novels and there are oh so many of them, ok not like star trek but still a ton

fantasy
rather new one
the stormcaller by tom Lloyd and the rest of the the twilights reign series
enjoyed hand me down dragonlance and forgotten realms book when I was younger ah need to read some of those again
and if you haven't for some bloody reason read the lord of the rings

 

[NurseDoomsday]

"Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes

also inb4 an idiot says "Twilight" god that woman can not right to save her life....

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Its a very great read... seriously

or a classic like The Outsiders

 

[masher]

The Forgotten Realms series by R.A.Salvatore.

 

[Requiem138]

anything in terry pratchett's diskworld is good. The guards series being my favorite.

 

[Siegreich]

Welcome to the NHK makes for great if somewhat depressing read.

 

[zarvana]

wow... this is pretty unexpected. i thought that this would get like 10 replies. this is kinda weird but i am gonna recommend some books myself.

Gone: this is for those that like a very serious series. there is some humor, but it once it gets starts to go serious, it stays so pretty much until the end. written by Michael Grant.

Deltoras belt: great series. both funny and serious at the same time. it also has some really great puzzles. written by Emily Rodda.

Animorphs: for those who like seeing characters evolve. the story isn't that special, but it's so fun to read it didn't bother me. it's also very long, with 54 books in the main story + 8-10 extra books. written by K.A. Appelgate.

The keys to the kingdom series: i don't really know what to say about this one. but it's funny, and i can guarantee that you have never read some thing like this. written by Garthnix.

Power of five: my favorite. personally, i have never had more fun reading, than i had while reading these. near perfect from beginning to were it is now. it isn't finished, but i really can't wait for the next one. written by Anthony Horowitz (the guy who wrote the Alex Rider series).

 

[zarvana]

oh i forgot to say this (should probably have done that in the beginning) but i read just about anything, manga, novels, romance, horror, adventure, fantasy, and all the other genres.

 

[noeggsforyou]

the dice man by Luke Rhinehart and Lunar Park by Bret Ellis both of which are odd but interesting and fun
and for easy sci-fi reading Asimov's Complete robot, and do androids dream of electric sheep by Philip K Dick

 

[TheLiham]

darren shans cirque du freak series

 

[Terminate421]

The Catcher in the Rye or The Legend of Luke

(I am using The Catcher in the Rye for a summer AP psychology assignment, does that seem like it would be a good choice)
