Recommend me some good books!

[Martin]

Well, I'm looking for anything interesting, doesn't matter if its fiction or non-fiction, classic or modern. I'd enjoy a variety of topics, economics, history, science etc etc. The only thing I've not too fond of is philosophy.


Thanks

Some books that are on my queue now: Malazan book fo the Fallen (fantasy, 2 more books to go), A Brief History of Time, Commanding Heights: the Battle for the world Economy, the Big U by Neal Stephenson.

Judging from your title just about any well written grammer book is in order.

How ironic.

Edit: BTW, the title is grammatically ok. He made a spelling mistake.

The only set of books I reccomend to people are the DragonLance series. Start with the Chronicles. All the other 80+ books in the series branch off of those 3 (4 counting the one just released 2 years ago to start off a new era in the DL universe) books. Definitely the best series I've ever read. They can keep you busy for at least a year if you go pick up some of the others.

Read the books Hyperspace and Visions by Michio Kaku.

 

[Kadarin]

Some good Science Fiction:

Dan Simmons' "Hyperion" novels
Peter F. Hamilton "Night's Dawn" trilogy (The Reality Dysfunction)
Iain Banks' "Culture" novels
Vernor Vinge (just about anything)

 

[Nocturnal]

The Left Behind series.

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Try the Earthclan novels by David Brin. There are a total of 7 books in the series and it's among the best sci-fi/action/adventure I ever read

 

[datalink7]

Sigmund Freud - Civilization and its Discontents
Robert Heinlein - War & Remembrance

 

[Kelvrick]

Everything pales in comparison with Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin.

A Game of Thrones
A Clash of Kings
A Storm of Swords

The 4th book is coming out this fall.

If you're fond of business and economics, I think you'd really enjoy the autobiography of Sam Walton: "Made In America". I had to read it for my Management & Entrepreneurship class and it's now my favorite book. Highly recommended!!!

I second the dragon lance series, i've read many of their books. I also HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend reading the ROBOTECH books. those books are above and beyond what the cartoon was. its like a whole new world!

Herman Hesse: Knulp

Not such a good book but I often wish I were Knulp.
