Any good book suggestions?

Question

I know this question is asked a lot, but I am looking for a new list. Any suggestions are welcome, and don't hesitate to add details!

I like any genres of books.

Answer 1

Depends on what you like to read, but as a brain unclogger I´d recommend "Atlas Shrugged" from Ayn Rand.
If you like Serious SF I´d recommend David Weber´s Honor Harrington´s Series.
If you like biographies, I´d recommend "Caesar" from Christian Meier.
If you look for Specific Historical info, I´d recommend "The Discoverers" by Daniel Boorstijn.
If you look for Warfare History, I´d recommend the "Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman, "Freedom at Midnight" by Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins.
Also good is "The rise and fall of the British Empire" (I don´t have the author in mind, sorry)
The "Ottoman Centuries", By Lord Kinross.
"The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers" By Kennedy (It´s and older book (1981) but everything up to contemporary has powerful insight.
If I think of anything else I´ll let you know.

Answer 4

I enjoy Andrew Greeley's book , he's a fiction writer, tends to write about a parish priest who is a sort of a detective and the whole irish clan around him.

I also like any of Wayne Dyer's books, Deepak Chopra, Stepeh Covey.

For pure escapism I like any of Jackie Collins' books, Nora Roberts/ JD Robb's.

I loved Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Alboom and the 5 People you meet in Heaven - same author as above.

Farley Mowatt's Never Cry Wolf is excellent as are any of the late Pierre Berton's books.

Kind of hard to just give a list without knowing what types of books you like and what authors you've already read. Hope this helps.

Cry, the Beloved Country (")- South African apartheid story
The Lovely Bones (alice seybold -sp?)- teenager who gets killed and watched earth after death
The Satanic Verses- Salman Rushdie- India/ British Good vs Evil- how they are perceived
The Time Travelers Wife- Audrey Neiffeneger (sp?)- Fantastic! Favorite read of last year. Afraid I will ruin it with a description!
The Secret Life of Bees (Sue Monk Kidd) - coming of age...
Beloved- Toni Morrison -Really interesting concept and story- this is the one Oprah made into a movie ( i havent seen it)
The Name of the Rose- Umberto Eco- medieval monk mystery3
Watership Down- could be called "the secret life of rabbits!" - I love this book and have read it many times!

King Fortis the Brave would be a great book for you. It's about a pair of twins that are brought into a magical realm where they are caught in the middle of a battle for control of the land. It's really well written and full of just the right mixture of humor and action.

Answer 9

James Clemens --Witch Fire
Its the first book in a series of five subtitled The Banned and The Banished , excellent fantasy series

Terry Goodkind, The Sword Of Truth series is quite detailed and long, I suggest his work.
