It is finally summer and since I am not taking any classes for the summer semester I am going to have a lot of free time on my hands. For years I planned to read as many books as I can but I never got around to it. Mostly because I do not know what to read. I like praticuarly every genres but its so hard to stick to one book before another one interests me. But this summer its going to change and I'm gonna follow through with reading. So does anyone have any suggestions in what I should read??
The Stand-Stephen King 1984-George Orwell Fight Club- Chuck palhinuk (or Rant by him) Neuromancer-William Gibson Food of the Gods-Terrence Mckenna Supernatural-Graham Hancock
If you're going to read Orwell's 1984, then you will have to follow it up with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Both are very good books, Brave New World is more realistic than 1984. Atleast I think so. Anything by Edgar Allan Poe would be nice, no writer displays human misery better than Edgar Allan Poe. Ray Bradbury is another Is another one of my favorites. I really dig The Martian Chronicles.
Notes From Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk (bomb) The Man Who Fell In Love With The moon by Tom Spanbauer
Mark Twain also. The Mysterious Stranger Is one of my all time favorite stories, He died before he could finish it but I think its ended quite perfectly.
Read this when I was 19 I think. Never finished it so I picked it up again. Pretty easy read, thought provoking. also in the middle of Lies My Teacher Told Me by......I think it's James Lowenn...could be wrong. Both interesting.
I second that. Read it. I read it in my Environmental Studies Class in High school. It is sososo good.
Hello, he's on my books2read list for some time. Inspired by his birthday I ordered Fear and Loathing and Hell's Angels. Regards Gyro
NOT Haunted. Worst book I've ever started. But Survivor, and Rant by Pahlaniuk, are great. I think a good place to start are books of movies you like, or classics, where you already know you like versions (i.e. Alice in Wonderland) But, if you want some good recommendations, you have to tell us some things that you like, so we can recommend books that will fit YOU, not just us.
If you are looking for books that will keep you interested to the end, you'd probably want to go with something that keeps escalating, and is hard to put down. I wouldn't recommend Edgar Allan Poe if you have a hard time finishing a book, although I do LOVE Poe. But it would be harder for you to get through I think. Its a lot more complicated and detailed. A few recommendations I could give would be, well for one, Heart-Shaped Box - Joe Hill. This is one of my favorite books, its very fast paced, a very original plot, and I still remember it very clearly after years of not reading it. I've recommended it to people who don't like reading in general, and they finished it, and very quickly too. lol Also some others (mostly suspense and horror oriented, hopefully you're into that.) -Everythings Eventual - Stephen King (this is 14 short stories, all very incredible, and I got through this book so quick, impossible to put down. and not as descriptive and hard to get into as his novels) -Rage - Stephen King (one of the bachman books, sooo interesting and well-written. ) -Mister B. Gone - Clive Barker (This one is very fucked up to say in the least, but extremely interesting. Only book I've ever read where the first line is 'Burn this book.') Hopefully you like these I found them impossible to put down, so I figured they'd help with your problem of not being able to finish a book. Because with these ones... you just HAVE to. You need to find out what happens lol.
