honeytinkle Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I recommend Half of a yellow sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It's about the Biafran war. It's really something people should read. Link to post Share on other sites
Xx.David.xX Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I totally reccomend the Foundation series, written by Isaac Assimov. They're sci-fi, futuristic novels.Also, I reccomend 1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell.If you want to read somthing thats good, mysterious and macabre, try reading Edgar Allan PoeIf you want to read horror, try H.P. Lovecraft (He created Cthulhu)Another good book is The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka.And of course, the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy by Tolkien! Link to post Share on other sites
TK-976 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Anything by Chuck Palahniuk (ex: Fight Club, Choke), although his books are on the mature side. Check out the Game of Thrones series too, by George R.R. Martin. My default recommendations, though, are:1984The OutsidersThe HobbitGo Ask AliceTweakCatcher In The RyePerks Of Being A Wallflower Link to post Share on other sites
Imagine Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Columbine by Dave Cullen Truly magical, the way he wrote about the entire incident was chilling but intriguing. I was gripped and personally loved the interviews he conducted to. You gain a new perspective on the media and on the two boys. Link to post Share on other sites
old-brown-shoe Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 I would recommend anything by Diana Wynne Jones to all who like Harry Potter. Particularly Howl's Moving Castle and another called Dark Lord of Derkholm Link to post Share on other sites

Millennium Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 i really enjoyed the Fountainhead by Ayn Rand although people find her ideas of selfishness freakin' debatable, however i don't have much thought on that issue. just, im pretty much head over heels for Howard Roark. and even some love for his lover Anything by Chuck Palahniuk (ex: Fight Club, Choke), although his books are on the mature side.

Dax Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 As it's spring I suggest reading "Rappaccini's Daughter" by Hawthorne, as well as "Little Ida's Flowers," and "Thumbelina" by Hans Christian Andersen. All are short stories and can be read within 1-2 hours tops, and all have beautiful imagery that mirrors the luscious beauty of spring ^.^. Link to post Share on other sites
Jade Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I'd recommend Inkheart. Link to post Share on other sites

jim Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I think most people on here would enjoy reading Andrew Peterson's Wingfeather Saga. It's a series of 4 books. It's Fantasy Young Adult fiction. If you combined the Chronicles of Narnia book series with Harry Potter book series...I think you'd end up with something like the Wingfeather Saga. I've finished the first 3 books and I'm in the middle of book 4. The book order goes like this: Book One: On the Edge of the Dark Sea of DarknessBook Two: North, or be Eaten!Book Three: The Monster in the HollowsBook Four: The Warden & the Wolf King Really fun reading if you like Young Adult fantasy fiction! P.S. The first book has a lot of silly names and play on words...I thought it was a little distracting...but there is not as much in books 2 through 4. Link to post Share on other sites
jim Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 Also, I love Inkheart. There is an Inkheart movie as well. It's pretty good. Link to post Share on other sites
Thessalie Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I'm a bit sad I didn't get to add my books while this thread was not dead yet, so anyway I'm gonna add my recommendations. Jane Eyre - Charlotte BronteOpened my eyes, it shares kind of a peaceful philosophy of life (if it makes sense), much more than I would have expected. I watched all the movies and the BBC series before, I didn't expect to find so much truth in it. It's kinda spiritual, but not so much in a religious way. East of Eden - John Steinbeck It's a book that portrays life in the USA among 2 families at the beginning of the XXth century. You just feel like being in the life of those people, it's so human. Full of life lessons, I can't even find the words. "The book explores themes of depravity, beneficence, love, and the struggle for acceptance, greatness, and the capacity for self-destruction and especially of guilt and freedom." Just like Jane Eyre, that opened my eyes. Steinbeck actually won a Nobel Prize, well you understand while reading it. BTW, they made an adaptation of the book, well I'm not going to watch it because for script purposes they chose an extract focused on a love story, which is (surprisingly for me) one of my least favorite stories of the book. Indeed the book is a mix of several stories happening at the same time (like in GOT for example). John Grisham's booksComplitely different style, but I discovered by surprise how much I love legal thrillers. "The legal thriller is a subgenre of thriller and crime fiction in which the major characters are lawyers and their employees" I couldn't let go of The Firm, The Testament but above all The Rainmaker Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I recommend any books by Ellen Hopkins....I've recently read almost half her books and I haven't been disappointed by ANY! The Jackaby series is also amazing 💗 Link to post Share on other sites
