The Old Man and the Sea (Hemingway)

<p>Dick Francis - writes great mysteries</p>

<p>The Demon's Lexicon is kind of like a mystery! I was going to say that but I wasn't sure whether you liked mysteries. Sarah Rees Brennan is a first time author and all, so for a taste of her writing style go see her livejournal. It's called "sarahtales." She also used to write HP fanfiction; she took it down but I have a pdf. </p>

<p>Since I have an ARC, and I loved it, I feel it is my duty to promote it unflaggingly :D</p>

<p>David Sedaris is really funny.
Harry Potter, The Lovely Bones, The Things They Carried, The Diary of Anne Frank, The Five People You Meet in Heaven, The Golden Compass, This Lullaby, That Summer (any book by Sarah Dessen. Or Jodi Picoult), The Chronicles of Narnia, The Secret Life of Bees, The Hobbit, A Walk to Remember, Me Talk Pretty One Day, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, My Sister's Keeper, Go Ask Alice, The Glass Castle, Fahrenheit 451, Night, Slaughterhouse-Five, The Pact, The Bell Jar, The Lord of the Rings, A Swiftly Tilting Planet, The Stranger, The Little Prince.</p>

<p>^ From my facebook. I took out all the classics.. the bolded ones are fantastic.</p>

<p>lol asfh09 most of those are my favorite books as well ;-) I second those recommendations ;-)</p>

<p>Fun rides:</p>

<p>-Predictably Irrational (behavioral economics)
-Frankenstein
-Freakonomics
-Angels & Demons</p>

<p>I second Good Omens
Terry Pratchett's discoworld series I like.
I can't believe that I actually liked Crime and Punishment.
The Dune series by Frank Herbert is pretty good though really long.</p>

<p>The Assistant by Bernard Malamud.
This book is one of the best I've read.</p>

<p>I also loved the Kite Runner, as mentioned on page 1.</p>

<p>Everyone worth knowing
its by the author of the devil wears prada </p>

<p>The Last Lecture
Randy Pausch</p>

<p>Second for Discworld! Discworld is fantabulous. </p>

<p>I'm starting to get into Diana Wynne Jones. The Lives of Christopher Chant is good.</p>

<p>Maximum Ride by James Patterson</p>

<p>Haruki Murakami. fr srs. He's an amazing novelist - expresses really insightful and deep thoughts while keeping things interesting, sexy, and fairly understandable. :D </p>

<p>Fight Club if you're into learning about the **** of the world. =P It's amazing, though. Palahnuik's writing style made me orgasm.</p>

<p>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is actually (despite being a children's book) quite good, too. And interesting.</p>

<p>I'm reading Angela's Ashes right now - it won a Pulitzer Prize, and imo for good reason. Definitely worth looking into. :D</p>

<p>And Twilight series if you want a laugh.</p>
