Joy Luck Club Most of Grisham's book I'm a Crichton's fan so I'll recommend him too, but you might get turned off if you're not a techno-minded reader/person | ||

The Stand (Favorite book) It The Dark Tower Series Needful Things The Talisman (With Peter Straub) Black House (Sequel to The Talisman, again with Peter Straub) The Green Mile Pet Semetary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ P.S. I love the books, but I dislike most of the movies. That's probally only because the movies can never compare though. | ||

the ring trilogy ( tolkien ) - you probably heard of it.. for whom the bell tolls ( hemmingway ) - great but demanding the grapes of wrath ( steinbeck ) - just beautiful lord of the flies ( golding ) - school class trapped on island.. 1984 ( orwell ) - big brother sees you.. | ||

And most books from Kafka are weird but really nice. EDIT: 1984 is indeed an amazing book | ||

Speed of dark - by Elizabeth Moon. About someone with authism in the near future - a really awesome book. Brave new world - Was kinda good - 1984 was better though. MOMO - or the battle of time. Now I know this is a book meant for kids, and that it was a while ago since I read it.. but it was one of the most awesome books I had read when I did! Number 9 dream - the best book I have ever read, no question about it! Watership down - absolutely great  | ||

Breakfast of Champions - Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse 5 - Kurt Vonnegut Differant Seasons - Stephan King (This book has 4 differant short stories, Apt Pupil is the best one) Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee Watership Down - Richard Adams Just my personal favorites, though I really want to read the Dark Tower serias because everyone says they are really really good. All the books above are great but I really recommend Breakfast of Champions, Slaughterhouse 5, and Watership down - like FA says, this book is absolutely great! | ||

You get so addicted, its crazy. Also pick up the first dragonlance three book set if you like fantasy. I take for granted you already read lotr, and silmarillion is even better, if possible. Other books you should read: The Alkymist Don Quijote Interview with the Vampire Not read: mein kampf | ||

If you're into the Civil Right's movement in America, then Once Upon a Time in Mississippi is a good book. Don't recall the author's name, sadly. The Lovely Bones was an excellent book. Lord of the Flies Fahrenhite 451 Where the Red Fern Grows- Kind of a little kids book, but it's sooo good. | ||

Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlen Pure Genius Animal Farm, 1984 - George Orwell Mentioned before, great books. I recomend Animal Farm first because it gets you used to Orwell's style One other book advice, don't read Lord of the Flies expecting it to be good, it's not. | ||

I, Robot Catspaw (the epitome of not judging a book by it's gay ass cover, unless it's been changed )Neuromancer Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Catcher in the Rye The Fountainhead To Kill A Mockingbird Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal The Left Hand of Darkness (be warned, there's very little "action" in the book if you like that sort of thing) The Stars My Destination There was an article in a magazine called "InQuest" named "100 Books Thou Shalt Read Before You Die"...was a very solid list for fiction/fantasy/sci-fi fans, if you can find it. | ||

It was a gift given to me last year and I failed to get into it. Thankfully a few days ago I got bored. It was the best book for me in a long time, so I got lucky. If any of you get it and have trouble getting into it, give it 50 pages, but some people will not appreciate it until page 305 or so, but it is well worth it. | ||
