what is a good book for me to read?

Answer 1

If you like reading non-fiction, about what goes on nowadays - I recommend these two -

1) "Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader"
written by Bradley K. Martin

2) "Rogue Regime"
written by Jasper Becker

These two well-written books give an insight about the North Korean Government.

Fiction?

Try all the books written by Clive Cussler (mystery/adventure/drama type). I would suggest you start the books from the first; some of the story lines tend to follow into subsequent novels.

The hero is Dirk Pitt, with his sidekick Al Giordino. These fiction books by Clive Cussler are well-written.

Answer 2

It all goes by what you like. Horror, romance, classical, novels, drama, and many more books that you can think of to read. I would suggest the novel Queen of the Damned or Carrie by Stephan King, if you are interested in horror and suspence.

Find a book that catches your fancy from the beginning and read it. Get to a point that maked you not want to stop, but to go on and want to finish the book to understand it all. For romance, read any of Nora Roberts books, my mom has practically read them all, and then some.

Just find a book you like. Read it. Find another. Read that one and go on with those kinds of books.

Answer 3

"Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" by Bradley Steffens. It tells the fascinating, true story of a medieval Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of mental illness to develop the scientific method.

Born in what is now Iraq in 965, Ibn al-Haytham studied theology, trying to resolve the differences between the Shi'ah and Sunnah sects. He turned his attention to the works of the ancient Greek philosophers and mathematicians. He was the first person to apply algebra to geometry, founding analytic geometry. He traveled to Egypt to build a dam on the Nile, failed, and ended up imprisoned in Cairo for ten years. During this time he began systematically testing hypotheses with experiments, the core of the scientific method.

"Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" was just chosen by California Readers to be part of the 2008 California Collection. You can find reviews of the book and a sample chapter at http://www.ibnalhaytham.net/

Answer 4

You could try The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver. It's quirky fun.

Or if you like murder mystery try: Mary Higgins Clark; James Patterson; and Janet Evanovich.

Or romance: Nora Roberts is quite good.

Answer 7

Without knowing what you have read and genres you like, it is difficult to answer.

"Drowned Hopes" by Donald Westlake
"The Ghostway" by Tony Hillerman
"Cadillac Beach" by Tim Dorsey (warning very strong content-lots of violence, drug use and other adult content).
