What kind of books do you like?

Question

I like fantasy mostly its hard for me to read nonfiction. I need something that will get my imagination running. Harry Potter, Eragon, Lord of the Rings, and The Chronicals of Narnia are some books I would recommend.

Answer 1

Some fantasy is good but I'm a geek so I love a good biography or a murder mystery (something that makes me use my brain and I can distract my brain into forgetting about the other stressful stuff in my life).

Answer 2

I like paranormal,fantasy,romance.I think you will like the following fantasy books

Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. He discovers that, because Ari himself had hatched Kashet, the dragon is different from others that have been captured live in the wild and must be drugged to be made tractable. Vetch finds he really likes and understands dragons, and soon he becomes the best dragon boy of all. He still harbors anger, however, toward the Tian invasion. Could he, perhaps, hatch a dragon, and then escape to help his people?

Mercedes Lackey's Take a Thief is the tale of Skif, a young orphan reminiscent of Oliver Twist, making his way in the knock-and-tumble neighborhood between two of Haven's outermost walls. Skif is intelligent, good-hearted and creative enough to forage up three meals a day in a place where food is scarce and kindness almost unheard of. After a chain of events leave him homeless, Skif lands in the lair of Bazie, an Faginish ex-mercenary who trains thieves...until he is "Chosen" by one of Valdemar's magical horses and becomes a Herald serving the Queen.

A historical that I really liked is Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge. From that point, through meteoric careers as a consummate actor and scenario writer, then as a fencing master, and finally a politician, the brilliant Moreau keeps thwarting the aims of the aristocratic Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr. However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.

Answer 3

The Wizard of Earthsea (trilogy) an The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. LeGuin you would like as well.

Also, John D MacDonald has a couple (only) of science fiction books that are extraordinarily good.

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury too.

Great imagination!

Answer 4

Terry Pratchetts Discworld novels are great! He says they are "a great read for kids of all ages". Brilliant fantasy fiction and some hysterical characters. Witches, wizards, orangutan librarian, dwarfs, trolls, luggage with legs, Death and his grand-daughter.... too many to list! There's even some adult humour if you read between the lines. If you're going to read Pratchett I recommend starting at the beginning with 'The Colour of Magic'.

Answer 5

Humor. I am currently reading Why Dogs Chase Cars by George Singleton and Athletic Shorts by Chris Crutcher. Funny stuff based on real life. Sometimes real life is so weird it can't be made up and is much funnier than something fictional. Although both stories are fiction based on real life.

Answer 6

I love the law thrillers. I am into Robert K. Tanenbaum,John grisham,Perri O"shaguessy, Scott Turow,and Nancy Taylor Rosenburg just to name a few.

Answer 7

~I like the ones with more words than pitchors. The big heavy ones are ok, but not if I gotta carry them around. Last good one I read was Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand, but when Howard Rourke blew up the building it upset me and made me think about 9-11

Answer 8

I like read both of fantasy and nonfiction. I like Hercule Poirot's action in agatha christie's novel.

Answer 9

I like horror, non-fiction, lesbian, mystery and suspense as well as some fiction. Dan Brown, Anne Rice and Laurell K Hamilton are some of the authors I would suggest.

Answer 10

i might truly decide for to be in a biography of Audrey Hepburn. She died a pair of years earlier i became born. To have huge-unfold her, even basically in a e book, could have been the main dazzling component i could desire to ask for. some human beings seem as much as Bella Swan. i seem as much as Audrey Hepburn. i like examining youthful person books (because of the fact i'm a yong person) yet i'm taking off to push myself into typical fiction gradually, determining on books that are nevertheless form of girly, with particularly romance. A classic Affair by Isabel Wolff became a good in-between e book. Geek Love became spectacular, my prominent novel ever. It became very dark and stressful, yet by some ability on an identical time whimsical. It became some kinfolk who mutates their toddlers on an identical time as pregnant with them so as that they're going to come out like freaks, so as that they are able to be put in their traveling carnival and pull them out of bankrupcy. of their kinfolk, atypical is particular. general is disgusting. The greater wonderful you're, the greater beneficial. It became truly gorgeous and Tim Burton-y. I propose you study it if it intrigues you. :) My prominent author is Sarah Dessen. She has a manner of starting to be general teenage existence sparkle without making it unreal.
