View Full Version : Book Recommendations
First of all, YAY my suggestion got put up :D
Second of all, post recommendations of Books in here.
I myself would like to recommend House Of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. If you like mindfunks (requesting f*ck wordfilter to funk) then this is the book for you. Its just odd (some pages just have a few words, others have braille, etc), but hauntingly gripping. I couldn't put the book down.
In my opinion, it is an AMAZING debut novel.

No but seriously, 1984 - George Orwell.
Read it now.
[spoiler:2olfu2ns]It is a funking good book.[/spoiler:2olfu2ns]
To Kill a Mockingbird. Or the Outsiders/That was then, this is now.
Didn't read the entire thread so not sure if you're looking for specific types of books. But I really liked Robert Kiyosaki - Rich Dad Poor Dad's series and the Wheel of Time and Sword of Truth, and my fav all time series is probably Raymond E. Feist - Magician and the sequels. I also loved the Blue Adept series.

I would recommend, Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom, who is also the author or the " The Five People You Meet in Heaven ".
Or Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling

Tuesdays with Morrie? Such a sad story. My friend did a book report on it.

Personally I think that Harry Potter books are actually quite well written.
I would have to agree with that recommendation :P

Yeap. Tuesday with Morrie is quite a sad story but a lot of teachings. I'm doing it for literature at school now.
I think all Harry Potter books are great. Rowling uses an amazing plot for the story. She is also known as one of the best descriptive writers ever. " New generation of Roald Dalf "
A very motivating book:Gifted Hands
It's very cool and motivating.
Never readed Harry potter:D
Took me 6 days to read the first Harry Potter book, lol.
been reading Harry Potter 1-4, and 80% of the 5th one. Took a break, and forgot everything. I don't really read anymore, apart from articles on the internet.
I really suggest all to read all the Harry Potter, they are well written and well worth it :p
I am waiting for the third Eragon book to come out in Norwegian, since the two first ones was awsome :) ALot better than the movie :D (ofc that depends on the person that reads/sees it) but I strongly suggest you to atleast take time to read the first book ^^ It isnt an old story and many teachers havent heard about it before, so I also recommend to make projects about it cuz I catched my teachers attention with it and got top grades :] (she had to read the book herself after)
All the orginal Narnia books are also great, they seems a bit more childish but if you bring them some attention you will see that they arent that different from the lord of the ring ^.-
The lord of the ring...... damn long book. (all in one) but worth it :P
The books about Thomas Covenant written by Stephen R. Donaldson.
(brb gotta eat will add more later :))
The books of Harry Potter is 10x better than the movies for sure. I kinda regret i gave up reading the last books, but i don't really bother doing it now
I'd advise the best fantasy book ever written (imho, exept lotr of course ^^) Jonathan strange & Mr norrel by Suzannah Clarke.
Interesting book titles Leriath. I have not heard of them. Might have to check them out. I am a LOTR fan as well.
