Storm Front by Jim Butcher. And then, reserve a bunch more money to buy the rest of the series, because the Dresden Files are awesome.
And, of course, there's The Colour of Magic (or any Discworld novel) by Terry Pratchett, who shall one day be taken up into the heavens to assume his golden throne as God of Modern Literature.

Well A Tale of Two Cities is good and Deathwatch is ausome.
Deathwatch is basicly about a kid being chased by a phycopath.

Bowser.. yeah.. I was pretty pissed actually when The Beav got killed first.. He was BY FAR my favorite character.. but I guess he was designed that way - be the awesome character noone wants to die, and then kill him first.devildog1170 said:
I also hated how the movie interpreted Jonesy's posession, basically turning him into an actual monster.. In the book Jonesy didn't kill Pete by turning into a monster and biting him in half, and Duddits didn't turn into a giant alien monster to battle Mr Gray.. it was like they saw the book and said "Yeah, that's great, it just need more actual aliens killing people." when that wasn't what the book was about at all.
It's also got a prequel (sequel) in the form of Shadow Complex on the XBLA arcade if you're interested in a pretty tight retro-style Metroid shooter.. At least that's what I've heardZero_ctrl said:
First of all, you need to buy the entire Drizzt Saga by R. A. Salvatore. Also, I just finished reading The Road. Holy shit... Get it and be ready to want to kill yourself.
You know, I own almost all of the Drizzt books (I probably do own them all) and I've only read about half of them.. I've wanted to get back into them, but I can't seem ot find the timedfphetteplace said:
OH
Read Villains by Necessity by Eve Forward if you can get it
It's tres magnifique, a very interesting twist on the traditional fantasy - very cliche, but intentionally so.. it's basically "What if the good guys won, and that's destroying the world, so it's time to go out on a valiant quest to bring darkness back to a world that's sublimating into light"
You can't go wrong with a bit of Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell. Could try the screenplay of Withnail and I by Bruce Robinson. Just as good as the film.
The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs, Ecstacy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance (both by Irvine Welsh) and Sandman (by Neil Gaiman)
roadside picnic. awesome eastern science fiction and a deep study into the reasons behind human nature and the human condition. however, you could just read it because it an amazing post-apocaliptic work. or you could read it because it inspired the movie stalker, and also the game series by the same name.
roadside picnic is a short book, but it is densely written with no wasted pages. it will always belong to my collection.

you know, there's an axiom that's pretty common in english which says basically that, it usually doesn't mean it literally though.Jodan said:
A Clockwork Orange is really really hard to read. It doesn't warm you up to the Duckspeak like 1984 does, it just is entirely written in a fake colloquial language.. I couldn't read it, I didn't know what the heck was going on.Manicotti said:
It's sort of like if Lord of the Rings were written where every second word was some elvish swear word.
