Good books?

[Seriana]

Well Newgrounds, it seems my literary well of eternity has run dry with a lack of good books to feed my imagination.

So, recommend all your good books for me, and I shall make camp in Barnes and Noble.
If it matters, I like fantasy, romance, and fiction here and there most :3

Waiting on George R R Martin's A Dance of Dragons..

[Straight-Edge]

Give Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan a try. I started reading it when I was twelve or thirteen, and it's really good, I'm not good at describing things, so wiki the book for more info

[timeslyr]

Eragon+eldest (movie killed the book)
Lord of the rings
Harry potter series
Great gatsby
Of mice and men
Dragonflight
etc
It really depends on what you like

[TeethCollector]

Lord of the Flies. What? I like violence. Especially when the violence involves kid.

Also, Peter Pan in Scarlet (Which is not an erotic novel as I learnt the hard way.) was pretty good.

[Lagatag]

Hmm, just read HP7, its worth a read if you're into that kinda genre, gonna read some of the Dune series by Frank Herbert now though.

[bimm0]

The Discworld series by Terry Prachet.

[ZeroAsALimit]

Ficiton covers o so many books.

J.G. Ballard - High-Rise.

[TurtleJuice]

Good book = oxymoron

[LordJaric]

Try books written by Dale Brown (starting with Flight of the Old Dog) , his books I backed full of military action, mostly air force stuff.

[Nintendoughnut]

Look for the author Garth Nix, his fantasy novels are great, and he has several books to chose from.

[BIeed]

I promise to you, 1984 is the best book you will ("EVER EVA EVA EVA EVa" - Chris Tucker from Rush Hour") read. Its about Big Brother. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU. War is Peace. Freedom Is Slavery Ingsoc.

[Seriana]

Yup, I read the LoTR and I'm waiting to get Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

The Lord of the Flies was a stupid book..

Eragon can lick me.

Any more I can shoot down or check out? :3

That's a horrible rec!

[Hellian00]

Book? NG? It's a TARP!!!!!

[NSP]

i have been reading Stardust, its pretty good and high on the fantasy

[Raguel]

A couple of obvious favourites:

Any Terry Pratchett
Any Douglas Adams (particularly the Hitchiker's series and Good Omens, co-written by Neil Gaiman)

And a couple of random ones that come to mind:

Erewhon by Samuel Butler
Freakonomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom
The Pearl by John Steinbeck

Listen to this man that series is fantastic. Also try Good Omens by Terry Pratchett.

[Mr-Pope]

Today I ordered Vermillion Sands by JG Ballard, because I'm like totally on a dystopian vibe at the minute, man.

[Haplon]

Try the Shannara series by Terry Brooks, or The Death Gate Cycle by Margret Weis and Tracy Hickman <-- writers of Dragonlance BTW

So was Deathly Hallows, but you don't see me posting spoilers. Classics be damned!

[CoryLehan]

I gave up reading other people's suggestions. They never worked for me. I'm rereading the Harry Potter books until I get my hands on Deathly Hollows, but I don't know if you're that interested in them.

[LolUsername]

Captain Underpants.

I've read all the books (except 7 and maybe 6) and I've all ready read over 200 pages of 7 and I only had it for a day, almost each chapter ends in a way that makes you want to read more.

[TwilightFox]

Any of the books from the Redwall series by Brian Jacques is really good. (especially Outcast of Redwall, Mossflower, and Marlfox.)

[TheAbominableMatt]

The Wheel of Time series of books. That covers all three and they'll keep you going for ages since there's about 12 of them. You might even get lucky and take so long to read them that the last book comes out.

Plus, they kick the shit out of Lord of the Rings as far as I'm concerned.

woops i forgot to put in that i read books 1-5 more than once.

If you haven't read them already, you should definitely read Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series.
and if you have read them, you should read them again, because it is amazing!!!
the first book in the series is "Wizard's First Rule"
