Answer 1

It depends on what you like. I recently read and enjoyed Robin Hobbs' nine-book metaseries, which is composed of three trilogies: Farseer, Liveship Traders, and Tawny Man.

I also rate Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar & Midkemia stories very highly.

I enjoyed L.E. Modesitt, Jr.'s Saga of Recluce series. He develops his protagonist characters very well in the "boy grows up and becomes a hero" sense.

David Eddings' Belgariad series is quite good.

Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series is excellent, perhaps a trifle on the pastoral side.

I am told that George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series, and J.V. Jones' Sword of Shadows series, are both spectacular. I haven't read them yet, though.

I've heard that Guy Gavriel Kay's longer books are excellent, especially Tigana. However, of his books I've only read The Fionavar Tapestry, and those were kind of dull (and awkward). But everybody says that his other stuff is much better, so they might be worth a look.

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series is dependably fun, even if the plot does get bogged down in the middle (around book five).

Robert A. Heinlein and Clifford D. Simak wrote some good science fiction stories. I've heard the Lois McMaster Bujold is on a par with those other two grandmasters, but I haven't read her books yet.

Jean Auel wrote Clan of the Cave Bear, which someone else has already suggested. It's the first book of the Earth's Children series, which I'm told is quite good.

Steven Brust's short "Vlad Taltos" novels are pretty good.

If you like military fantasy (war and political intrigue), try Glen Cook's Dread Empire Series or his Black Company series. Also in this subgenre, try Steven Erikson's huge books in "The Malazan Book of the Fallen" series.

If you like fantasy with sex in it, try Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy.

If you like "light and funny" fantasy, try Piers Anthony's Xanth series, Robert Asprin's MYTH series, and Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. Clifford D. Simak wrote a stand-alone sci-fi fantasy that is in the "light and funny" category: The Goblin Reservation.

R. Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing series is well spoken of. So is Jack Vance's Lyonesse series.

J.R.R. Tolkien is charming, and he's still a standard reference in fantasy.

Answer 2

with out an age or what you have read and liked it is hard to say. Some easy reads that are considered by most as classics are 1. The Stranger by Albert Camus 2. The Cather In The Rye by J.D Salinger or if you want something for someone a bit younger maybe A Child Called It or a book called Go Ask Alice its a diary of a girl who gets caught up in a bad crowed and has a ending nothing short of the sixth sense and its true!

Answer 3

Friends Of The Opposite Sex, The Blueberry Muffin Murder,
The Cherry Cheesecake Murder, The Cat Who Who Read Backwards, The Chocolate Mouse Trap, Chance McGraw, Sloccum And the Lady In blue, Wish You Were Here (that very last one is one ofseveral, by Sneaky Pie Brown).

Answer 4

W. Somerset Maugham - 'The Razor's Edge', 'Of Human Bondage'.

Nevil Shute - 'A Town Like Alice' aka 'The Legacy'

Ursula K. le Guin - 'Malafrena' , 'The Earthsea Quartet'

William Thackeray - 'Pendennis', 'Vanity Fair'

Jane Austen - 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Emma'

Charles Dickens - 'Bleak House' , Great Expectations'

Hermann Melville - 'Moby Dick'

Eleanor Dark -'The Timeless Land'

Stephen King - 'It' , 'The Dark Half'

Edgar Allan Poe - 'The Fall of the House of Usher'

Carl Sagan - 'The Demon Haunted World'

Richard Dawkins - 'Climbing Mount Improbable'

That should keep you out of trouble for a while.

Answer 5

Read Freedom Writers Diary. It's about these high schoolers from Long Beach who live in the ghetto and have a rough life. Through writing these diaries, they begin to change for the better, and they really mke the world a better place. The best part is, it isn't fiction. These are the words of real people.

Answer 6

Since you fail to give a genre

I suggest ALL the books from C.S. Lewis (Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe series)
Asimov's Foundation Series
Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game

and one that will give you much to chew on
Edgar Cayce: Modern Prophet (4 books in one)

Answer 7

Go to Amazon.com and search:
"Lost from Atlantis Book 1"
"Death by Murder David Lindsay" - you have to search that way.
and "Super Spaghetti"

They're free if you have Kindle Unlimited, and you can get a free trial of that - Google how.
If you don't have a Kindle you can get a free smartphone app from Google Play, or read it online - all free.

Answer 8

Great Expectations
Moby Dick
IT (Stephen King)
Schindler's List
Angela's Ashes
Clan of the Cave Bear
A nice variety for you.

Answer 9
