What do you recommend to read?

I usually read 2 books a month, but I've been stuck on the "Known World" for almost 3 months now. What do you suggest I should read? My favorite books are the Harry Potter series, Flowers for Algernon, Time Travelers Wife, Life of Pi, Da vinci Code, A Day in the Life of Ivan Dovonovich, The Collector, and Tailchaser's Song. My favorite authors are Lincoln Child, Douglas Preston, Stephen King, Dan Brown, and Piers Anthony.

What do you recommend to read?
Looking at your list, here's an oldie but goodie you should like. Try Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird." Far better than the movie, which was pretty good in its own right.
Reply:"Spirits House" by Isabel Allende. It´s very good.
Reply:Billions and Billions by Carl Sagan...If you have to read Don't clutter your brain with worthless garbage!!!
Reply:If you like Piers Anthony, try the DiscWorld series by Terry Pratchett. He has a similar whimsical humor and his books are fun and light to read. And like Anthony, he has a lot fo them so you never run out.





Another author to try is Juliette Marillier. She is another fantasy author and has books similar to those you like. I think they will be in keeping with the themes and tastes you enjoy.


To branch out for another good series, try the Brother Caedfeal series by Ellis Peteters. It is a middle ages monk who is like a sleuth solving crimes, but is a very good series that keeps you guessing to the end.
Reply:i like novel.i like to read about sandra brown, sidney seldon, agatha.
Reply:Neil Gaiman, definitely. He also has a very interesting blog. I also think you would like Robert Asprin if you like the "punny" Xanth books. I recommend the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the Dirk Gently series by Douglas Adams. Finally, maybe Douglas Clegg if you like the Preston/ Child books.
Reply:If you like Stephen King, you probably have the stomach to get through the first couple chapters of "The Plague" by Albert Camus.





It's my favorite novel because of the way it inspires me to help other people whenever I read it. The story is, of course, about a plague but it's a metaphor for the Nazi occupation of France and how people dealt with it or tried to fight against it.





Camus is known as an existentialist, but he's not nihilistic in the way that Sartre would seem to be. Camus encourages people to embrace existence because there is no purpose except for the one we choose for ourselves.
Reply:hmm...from The Da Vinci Code, i can tell you like excitement but from that Algernon book, i can tell you like sad stories that make you kind of think. try memoirs of a geisha by arthur golden.
Reply:A previous answer of mine:





======================================...


Fantasy -- "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien - bar none.


(Coming in second would be Alan Dean Foster's "Spellsinger" series for ease of reading and sheer humor. Those who have experienced "Mudge" or "ol' Mudger" know what I mean.)





Science Fiction -- Asimov's "Foundation" series and Clarke's "Odyssey" and "Rama" books are wonderful.





Non-fiction (travel essays) -- Neil Peart (Rush's drummer) has 3 books, and they are all *terrific*:


- "Masked Rider"


- "Ghost Rider"


- "Traveling Music"


======================================...





It was a different question, but my answers would be the same.

Reply:the count of monte cristo by alexandre dumas or the fountainhead by ayn rand
Reply:"Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller - It completely changed my life!
Reply:If you like true stories that can make ya cry........read Nicholas Sparks' books. The Notebook is fantastic, it was on tv not too long ago. I love his stuff.
Reply:'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand. I've read it over 37 times. It never fails to enlighten and is so relevant to today's issues.
Reply:THE BEACH...a true story.To Kill a Mockingbird was a cool *** boook.
Reply:Try books by Neil Gaiman. They're all very interesting :)
Reply:Memnoch The Devil by Anne Rice
Reply:hi there,


i think "memoir of a geisha" is a good book to read. It's not the love story in there that interests me; the description of Japanese tradition dress, the kimono, how to wear them, how they are made, what is considered to be attrativeness of women in Japanese eyes,....and so on. There's so much about the culture in the book that fascinated me.





Another recommendation is "Outlander" of Diana Gabaldon. It's an exciting adventure of a woman who happened to be brought back in time. A sweet romantic love evolved throughout the story.





Hope u enjoy ur reading!
