If you're looking for a fantasy series, His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman.

  • 12.08.2012 5:21 AM PDT

I just read the first chapter of Ender's Game and that was pretty good.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

Define 'book', or rather what format you want to read it in. I can suggest to you an excellent online book that has some animated pictures and a metric ton of text.

EDIT: Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow are good books. I'd reccomend you their sequels too, but I've forgotten the names of the good ones.

Trolls are insecure about their own pathetic lives that they act cool behind a keyboard.

Hahahaha, yes im being very vague. I've read Dark Materials, I suppose an individual novel would be nice as opposed to a series. Fiction.


Whilst where at it, what are you guys reading?

  • 12.08.2012 5:25 AM PDT

Remember,
It is easy to be male
it is another thing to be a man.

Get The Name of The Wind:
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep.

You may have heard of me.

It's a very very good book.

Too bad being completely and utterly wrong isn't a bannable offense.

I've got a good sci-fi rec if you don't mind a bit of technical hubberdoogery. Although it's more or less set in modern-ish times.

Also got an action writer that I can recommend.

The Universe demands to be noticed, to be seen, and dutifully noted.

What use all those incredible firework dimensions if no eye fixes and reflects, no brain takes notes, no heart moves with passion at the display?

NASA answers the silent cry of the Cosmos for recognition.

NASA is the witness and we fellow witnesses to the endless deeps.

Hyperion by Dan Simmons is an epic SF classic.

Or any of Ray Bradbury's anthologies - especially the Martian Chronicles - you can't go wrong with those.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

The Utility of Force by Rupert Smith is a cracking read

  • 12.08.2012 5:56 AM PDT

Now let's get down to business, I don't got no time to play around, what is this?

The Passage by Justin Cronin. It's somewhat similar to I Am Legend, but it's one of the best books I've ever read. Humanity creates vampire type creatures that spread a virus, then it goes forwards 90 years to the few remaining humans that set up survival colonies in California. Very good book.

Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.

These are both fantastic suggestions, but if you specifically want fantasy that's LotR-esque, you could try the Belgariad by David Eddings, or other similar works of high fantasy.

It's part of a series, but I've always enjoyed reading The Lightning Thief.

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"The Eagle has Landed"

By Jack Higgins.

Amazing book, one of my all time favorites, basically German paratroopers have to kidnap or kill Winston Churchill.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

-Me

get Eragon, and then the rest of the series. Your mind won't be able to comprehend the awesomeness of this series

Autobiography of Malcolm X, I'm being serious it's a good book.

"I am an enforcer man! Don't nothin' go down in my house! This 100% heart baby! Sure, I check a few fools. I give em the pain! But sometimes its about intimidation, though. It's mind games."

'Childhood's End'.

When the silent spacecraft arrived and took the light from the world, no one knew what to expect. But, although the Overlords kept themselves hidden from man, they had come to unite a warring world and to offer an end to poverty and crime. When they finally showed themselves it was a shock, but one that humankind could now cope with, and an era of peace, prosperity and endless leisure began. But the children of this utopia dream strange dreams of distant suns and alien planets, and begin to evolve into something incomprehensible to their parents, and soon they will be ready to join the Overmind ...and, in a grand and thrilling metaphysical climax, leave the Earth behind.
