Question

I really read a lot but I dont know what book I should read. Can someone give me there opinion of a good book. Tell me what is the book about and give me the title.

Non-Fiction and romantic books those are mostly the books I read

Answer 1

Twilight is good if you like YA fantasy OR YA romance. It's about a young teen, Bella, who falls in love with a vampire, Edward. It's a very exciting, very romantic story. And it is the first in a series.

Here There Be Dragons by James A. Owen is a great YA book--fantasty book--that adults can enjoy as well. I recommend it for fans of C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia or Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Or for fans of fantasy in general. It draws from some great literary works.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is an adult science fiction book with a lot of young adult readers. It is about a young boy around the age of 6, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin and his life since he was chosen to be trained as a soldier at a space station. It follows his development and training as he's prepared to "save the world" from a future invasion by aliens.

If you like romance novels, I recommend Julia Quinn. Her books are great. They're set in the Regency period in England, my favorites are from the Bridgerton series.

If you like historical fiction, I recommend Edward Rutherfurd. I loved London and Sarum. Or you may perhaps enjoy reading some Eugenia Price (Savannah) or Margaret Mitchell (Gone With The Wind.)

If none of my recommendations please, you can always use a reader advisory service like these:

I'm reading "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett, and it's a wonderful read. It's not new, it was published in 1990.

He's a fantastic writer and the characters are so real you really feel for them even though it takes place hundreds of years ago.

It's centered around the design and building of cathedrals in 12th century England. It's amazing how tough they had it back then. Makes you really appreciate how much better things are in modern times. I know that's not much of a description, but I find the book extremely compelling. It's an epic tale spanning about 50 years, so it's not a quick read. (The paperback is almost a thousand pages.)

Whatever you decide to read, I'm glad you're doing so.

Answer 3

Try "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. It's about a woman who is a nurse during WWII and visits Scotland with her husband just after the war is over. They visit some standing stones, and she is thrown back in time two hundred years. In order to save her from a cruel English captain, a local Scotsman forces her to marry him, and she has no way to explain why she can't. She is very confused at first, but then finds ways to make the best of her new life while trying to prevent the bad things she knows will happen in the future.
It's a very well-written book with romance, mystery, science, interesting characters, and several books to follow if you like this one.

Answer 4

Try "A Book of Common Prayer" by Joan Didion. It is not a Biblical book, if that would turn you off. Didion has a wonderfully complex style, that seems simple, but gives much information in the fewest words. I always have this book around--and pick it up from time to time when I am between new books.

Publisher summary: A Book of Common Prayer is the story of two American women in the derelict Central American nation of Boca Grande. Grace Strasser-Mendana controls much of the country's wealth and knows virtually all of its secrets; Charlotte Douglas knows far too little. "Immaculate of history, innocent of politics," she has come to Boca Grande vaguely and vainly hoping to be reunited with her fugitive daughter. As imagined by Didion, her fate is at once utterly particular and fearfully emblematic of an age of conscienceless authority and unfathomable violence.

Answer 5

Tough question...what kind of books do you like? How-tos? Fantasy? Fiction? Non-Fiction? Suspense? Horror? Humor? Romance? Sex? Drugs? Rock and Roll? Politics? hehe. Without knowing what you have and have not read, recommending a book to a complete stranger can be hard ;)

Answer 6

The Fair Tax Book, Neal Boortz.

Answer 7

flowers for algernon: book about a mentaly retarded man, who becomes the ginea pig of an experiment, becomes a genius and dies (but actually i read it when i was 14 or so, its pretty interesting, and sad at the end. i cried.)

hot zone: about the ebola virus breaking out in africa. very graphic. non-fiction.

wayside stories from wayside school: childrens book, very funny for children 6 through 12 or so. i kept my copies, and now love anything by the author, louis scacar, including his latest book that was made into a movie: Holes.

Always 6'oclock: a single grown man finds his ex girlfriend knocking at his door from way back when they were high school sweethearts, almost 10 years ago. she had hit her head and forgot she was married to someone else, and cannot understand what is going on.

waiting for godot: screenplay writen by samuel beckett, alot like taking pride and predjudice and throwing an alice in wonderland spin on things. very unique. (i laughed, but i have a dry sense of humor.)

hope it helps! kind of shooting in the dark, considering you didnt go into what you enjoy most. sorry!

Answer 8

It depends what you like to read, if its fiction is it romance, thrillers, crime, science fiction ?, or is it non fiction, like history, science, mysteries etc ?

I recently read 'The curious incident of the dog in the night' by Mark Haddon and really enjoyed it. Its about an autistic 15 year old boy who finds his neighbour's dog dead and sets out to find who did it. He unearths a lot of family secrets during his 'investigation'. The book is also about autism. It is funny in parts and sad in others.
Sorry to be obvious, but i also enjoyed the 'Da Vinci Code' by Dan Brown and enjoyed it.

Answer 9

1) "Aint she sweet" by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. funny, romantic, clever, happy ending. what more can you want?
2) "the last days of summer" by Steve Kluger. small boy befriends his hero, a famous baseball player. it doesn't sound like much here, bu i have been reading since i was 6 and this is the best book i have read EVER.
3) any of the "In Death" series by J.D. Robb. hilarious, romantic, clever mysteries with a kick-*** girl cop, and her very sexy irish husband. if ice cream were books, this would be double chocolate with M&Ms!

Answer 10

Abarat, by Clive Barker. It is for early adults. Great book and it has a sequel called Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War. Excellent reading and great characters. I could list many more but this will get you started.
