Answer 1

Well, try Fahrenheit 451, first released as a short story in Galaxy Science Fiction, As the Fireman. in 1950.
Might make you think Ray Bradbury was more of a Psychic than a sci-fi writer as a lot of it seems to be coming true as far as the attitudes of books the rest is still fiction.

Answer 4

Atlas Shrugged by Ayan Rand, a very long philosophical book. She has developed her own philosophical theory called objectivism. Google her name and objectivism and see if you would be interested.

If you like fantasy The Fionavar Tapastry is amazing book. It was written by Guy Gavriel he is a close friend of Tolken and they would sometimes co-wright. I usually do not like fantasy and I never could get in to reading lord of the rings so I suspected I would not like this one. Two people I knew had recommended the book and when more than one person recommends a book to me I will read it to the end. It did not hook me at first but when it did I could not put it down. I laughed, cried, was on the edge of my seat and the characters stayed in my mind for a long time after. A must read.

Answer 5

There are so many books! King Solomon said at Ecclesiastes 12:12 “TO THE making of many books there is no end, and much devotion to them is wearisome to the flesh.” In penning those words some 3,000 years ago, wise King Solomon of Israel was not discouraging reading. Rather, he was commenting on the need to be selective. How timely that reminder is today, as billions of pages of reading material roll off the world’s printing presses annually!

It is evident that the “many books” to which Solomon referred were not upbuilding or refreshing. Therefore, he argued that devotion to them, instead of providing positive and lasting rewards, is “wearisome to the flesh.”

Why not read a book with such wise words! Preeminent among such, according to Solomon, are those that originate with the one Shepherd, Jehovah God (Psalm 23:1).

Therefore, one can do no better than turn to the book that is inspired by God—the Bible. Reading such inspired words regularly can help one to become “fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.”—2 Timothy 3:16, 17.

Along with reading the Bible, I also recommend a Bible based publication entitled "WHAT DOES THE BIBLE Really TEACH?" It's a colorfully illustrated, 224-page book published in 2005. "It is simple enough that almost anyone can use it, along with your Bible. Yet, it has enough depth to satisfy the spiritual need of the most learned."

What Does the Bible Really Teach? is now available in more than 145 languages, and over 40 million copies of it have already been printed. You can request a copy by clicking on the link below.

Answer 7

Here's an odd, old book, under 100 pages: Flatland by Edwin Abbott. It explores existences in different dimensions. It shows how nearly impossible it is to comprehend a dimension beyond the one you live in. From pointland to a possibility of a land of four dimensions, unique and fun read.

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut is great. Flowers for Algernon is also good, and a very surprising read. Also, Lonesome Dove, despite it being about 1000 pages, has one of the best stories and plots you'll ever discover.
