I just read Blood meridian, that was amazing but very very dark. Kind of a gut turner.

I just listened to the Christmas Carol......BAH HUMBUG!

Fahrenheit 451 probably one of the best books I have ever read. Its just soo good that it is a must read if you have free time or not.

Some other great book are the LOTR and the Potter series are also great but unfortunately most people know them by the movies and not the books

There's this story about a anthropomorphic cat who does NOT want to eat green eggs and ham, so he sings about it and honestly it really made me think as a child. Then he eats it and realizes it isn't so bad, and that's an important lesson-- I think.

Very good book. 10/10.

I recently got into this book series called 33 1/3 where each title focuses on a single album, its background and research and how it was made and produced.  They're on the shorter side - around 120-180 pages, so they don't drag out but they're pretty hard to lay down once you get into the thick of it.  The books for Tusk and Sound of Silver are fun reads.

How Much of These Hills is Gold by C Pam Zhang. A decent historical fiction novel set in California during the gold rush. It was a bit of a slow starter but It was well worth sticking with it until the end. Well worth picking up if you like Westerns/Historical fiction. 3.5/5.

The Clown by Heinrich Böll, 100 years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Lolita by Vladimir Nabakov

I have a weird relationship with reading. For something I love, I find it very difficult to start. I tend to read a lot when traveling, from the airport to the hammock, it just is perfect to pass time and relax. For easy accessible things, I like the series of Clive Cussler; a little bit of action, travel and science go hand in hand making for very easy and enjoyable reads.

For something a bit more demanding, but still accessible I'd say, anything from Paulo Coelho. The alchemist is a good starter as you pick up a classic right away and understand what the author is about. However, I would recommend The Zahir for a more intriguing read. I guess Coelho would be my favorite author if I had to mention one, if only it was that I casually slip some quotes from him into conversations when appropriate :)

I'm reading 100 Years of Solitude by Garcia Marquez now and yep, would def add a +1 for that recommendation. I loved his Chronicle of a Death Foretold as well. As far as favorite authors go though, mine would be Chuck Palahniuk (super far genre from Garcia Marquez I know lol) -- as someone who gets too easily scared by horror movies, I can only get my dose of suspense through books since I'm sure there won't be any jumpscares... lol :c

There is a trilogy that I absolutely love and love to read over and over again and that is The Order of The Sanguine Series by James Rollins and Rebecca Cantrell. The first book The Blood Gospel is amazing and I've it at home. The other two books I can't find unfortunately, so I have them as e-books. 

Love the history aspects and all the different places and characters. Almost felt like I was there.

If you'd also consider books on philosophy or others on that same wave length these are my favorites:

Meditations of Marcus Aurelius
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
Ego is the Enemy by Ryan Holiday
How do you kill 11 Million People by Andy Andrews

Thanks DerKindestod added the blood series to my list!

I'm more a Sci-Fi aficionado. Check out anything by Peter Hamilton, first shout - The reality dysfunction

Anthem by Ayn Rand. Very under rated book I read in high school

Evil_Clown Thank you, I will check it out! I'm not extremely into sci-fi, but when it comes to books I like to broaden my views and read many new stuff. 

I just started reading a series about Robert Hunter (Chris Carter is the author) and even though I started with book 2 it's sooo good! It's gruesome and some scenes really is creepy, but damn the book is so good! Anyone who likes crime HAS to read them!

Although they're very common high school literature books I've always enjoyed reading The Outsiders, That Was Then, This Is Now or any other books by S.E. Hinton that link in together. The way the characters interact and different points of views on the same events across the books are really interesting.

Another book I'd recommend, which has probably been read by most people already, is To Kill a Mockingbird by Nelle Harper Lee. I love the depiction of racial injustice through the eyes of the narrator, who is a young girl of six years at the start of the novel. Reading the book through her lens forces the reader to interpret events on their own, which makes the book very educational

dune is good book i like movie lot there more star wars books out there i like dune lot more if dune had come out when star war did it be best
