Can anyone recommend a good book now that Harry Potter is done?

Answer 1

I would recommend Philip Pullmans "his dark materials" series. The frist book is Northern Lights (sometimes called the goldern compass), then subtle knife, then amber spyglass. It is written for young adults, so the wiriting is a bit more simple than I prefer, but the story is good. They have also made a movie of it to be released this year.
Otherwise I would reccomend anything by Robin Hobb, she is fabulous.

Answer 2

I am a "Thriller" book fanatic and have read a huge percentage thats out there, so here are some excellent choices (I was going to say "page turner" until I heard the joke "why do people say this book is a real page turner--I know how books work!) Jeffery Deaver, Dennis Lehane, David Morrell and Lee Child, in my opinion they are the best thriller writers in the business!! I am a avid reader in this genre and have read Coben, King, Koontz, F. Paul Wilson, Connelly, and many others but none can touch these authors I've listed! The Deaver book I've just finished reading now is "The Sleeping Doll"--a brand new release and has literally keeped me up at nights!! I'm quite sure you'll love his other thrillers as well, such as "The Bone Collector", "A Maiden's Grave", "The Coffin Dancer", "Praying For Rain", "Cold Moon", "The Twelveth Card", "The Vanished Man", "Devil's Tear Drop" et el. For Lehane, start with "A Drink Before War" (don't let the title fool you) then "Darkness Take My Hand", "Sacred", "Gone, Baby Gone", "Prayers For Rain", "Shutter Island" and "Mystic River." For Lee Child, you can start with his first and move forward, but it's Ok if you don't. Some personal favs are: "One Shot", "Trip Wire", "Hard Luck and Trouble"--a new release, "The Persuader"-my personal fav, "The Hard Way", but they are all page turners! Also, last but definately not least is David Morrell. All his books are good, but I especially enjoy his last two releases "Creepers" and "Scavenger" which are guaranteed page-turners. Just finished my first Ed Mcbain book "Fiddlers" and it was both engaging and hilarious! Hope this helps, enjoy, Greg

Answer 4

Re-read Harry Potter .

Answer 5

start up from the beginning up. AND watch the flicks. frequently the books are lots extra advantageous tho. You get the entire tale by way of fact the author meant. that's not straight forward to pay interest once you experience you already know whats going to take place already. Or whilst there is little action on the beginning up. that's alright to bypass the prologue and epilogue in case you desire. What in case you do not examine the 1st 3 and you get to a factor the place something does not make experience? what's extremely super is once you keep in mind that one little sentence from 2, 3, 4 books in the past that makes each and every thing fall into place. that's extremely maximum stunning once you spot what a distinction there is between a e book and a action picture tho. good success alongside with your decision.

Answer 6

Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy and its Connection with Political and Social Circumstances from the Earliest Times to the Present Day

Answer 7

If you liked Harry Potter fantasy which seems totally unreal yet slightly believable then you could try His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman or The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis.

Answer 8

My Name is Red
by Orhan Pamuk, a very famous Turkish author. Check it out.

Hero of Our Time by Mikhail Lermontov
A tightly knitted collection of short stories revolving around a single character, Pechorin. The short stories comprising this work are intricately connected, and the reader moves from a superficial glimpse of the character's actions to an understanding of his philosophy and of the secret springs of his seemingly mysterious behavior. The innovative structure of the novel is very modern
