Decoded to make a thread for book suggestions because there's already a thread for books people are currently reading. Also a thread to talk about books you liked..Please don't give the endings away. My short list: Dreamcather by Stephen King: Great book..I'm about 80% done with it..But it's still an awesome book. Age level: 18+ I guess....no real "sex" in it but TONS of profane language. The Long Walk by Stephen King: Awesome book. Lots of nasty gorey scenes and very well written. It is about a bunch of boys that are forced to do a very "long" walk and there are certain rules that must be followed...or bad things happen to them. Age level: 18+ Profane Language and some sexual/sexually graphic content.. And gore. The Killing Hour by Lisa Gardner: Probably one of the best books I have ever read. It is very graphic, and uses profane language. Might be the only book that i actually WANTED to keep reading. Age level: 18+ Very graphic in terms of language and gore..I do not recall whether or not there is sexual content. As you can see, I enjoy graphic novels. :lol: Though i am a slightly slow reader..I read at a high level. :lol: Mods may close if those books are too innappropriate.. But I don't see any problems with it... :unsure:
I like books, but I need one that'll keep me reading it. Most of the time if a book isn't gripping enough, then I just put it down. I'm looking for a modern warfare type book. Tom Clancy type, I like the look of Rainbow Six, just something for reading on the place to go on holiday and read when I'm there. Anyone got any suggestions? I enjoyed Band of Brothers quite a bit. It really did make me interested. Having watched the TV series first, I half knew what to expect but I went ahead and it was a good read. At the moment I'm reading Electric Universe by David Bodanis.
If you want an interesting, thought-provoking novel, try: Thr3e - Ted Dekker I liked it. His other novels are quite good too, but that's been my favorite so far.
i really enjoyed the Lord Of The Rings Books .. i read them before the Movie came out .. and i have to say i enjoyed reading the book more then watching the movie .. i also love the old Robin Hood book ..
I prefer fantasy, so some of my favorites are: The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit Harry Potter Wheel of Time Mastermagician*** UnMage*** *** = Dutch I'm a pretty fast reader but I haven't had much time to read lately
The Killling Hour is basically a suspense/thriller.. It is very gorey book.. But it is a good read if you are into the pretty nasty things. Storyline (in a vague description): 2 detectives are searching for a killer/kidnapper that just kidnapped a pregnant woman and they are trying to find her. They do not know whether or not she is dead or not. This, in my opinnion, is a great book. But pretty grusome. ^^ That may make it seem boring.. But the book is obviously much more elaborate. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, this is a little off topic: But, has anybody here read the Dave Pelzer series? Now those books are bad... Meaning: they are very sad. For those of you who do not know: They are the story of a boy who goes through child abuse. I guess it was one of the worst cases in California history?? (I'm not sure. Please correct me if I'm wrong). It's a very inspiring story, I guess. But it is VERY sad.
I really have a broad range of what I love. I just love reading a good story. I've finished/very close to finishing two books. A good book I suggest is: Dean Koontz - Lightning ~ absolutely fantastic...wow...I'm still amazed. Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide ~ I got a book compilation called THE ULTIMATE GUIDE, with the entire series in it. Get it. It's hilarious, it's dark and then colorful, it's just...wow...amazing. It can influence your life heavily. I have about 4 more novels down the line to read.
