Books to read?!!!!?

Question: Books to read!?!!!!!?

so some of my favorites are:
1984
fahrenheit 451
alice in wonderland
hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

So what would you recommend!?

and please no twilight series!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Seconding the recs for Gaiman and Ender's Game!. I also suspect you would like some of Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, based on your mention of Douglas Adams, and especially his collaboration with Gaiman, Good Omens!.

If you like Orwell and Bradbury, you might also enjoy Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, We, by Evgeny Zamyatin, and The Handmaid's Tail, by Margaret Atwood!. There's a list of more dystopian literature here: http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/List_of_dys!.!.!.

Another good one to look for might be The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bulgakov, which combines a rather dystopian vision with the crazy humor of Adams or Carroll!. A good translation is important, though!. I'd probably go for this one: http://www!.amazon!.com/Master-Margarita-M!.!.!.

but you can read samples from a number of different ones here to see if there's another you might prefer: http://www!.amazon!.com/gp/richpub/syltgui!.!.!.

Better yet, learn Russian!. :) Bulgakov is BRILLIANT in Russian!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you like stuff like 1984 (one of my personal favourites)
Try "A Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, it's very similar!.

Or, the "uglies" series by scott westerfeld, which is also a lot like 1984, except more orientated towards teenage girls!.
I was skeptical about the series, but I actually really enjoyed it!.

If you liked hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, try Douglas Adams' other book "The Restaurant at the end of the universe"
I actually preferred it to Hitchhikers guide!.

also, look into "Life Of Pi" by Yan Martel!.
It's strange, but a worthy read nonetheless!.

And, in case you haven't read them already, I'd suggest some obvious classics like:
To kill a mockingbird
Catcher in the Rye
Gone with The Wind

And, a fairly lesser known book, "Two solitudes" by Hugh MacLennan!.
It's just amazing

Or, try some books by John Steinbeck, he's got to be my favourite author!.
I'd suggest:
Of Mice and Men
The grapes of wrath
and
East of Eden!.

All three are basically masterpieces!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i totally agree with all of your choices XD esp!. the no twilight :3

-anything/everything by neil gaiman (stardust, neverwhere, anansi boys, etc!.)
-the amazing adventures of kavalier and clay, by michael chabon (sounds weird from the summary, but it's actually not)
-jonathan strange and mr!. norrell, by susannah clarke (sp!?)
-again, anything/everything by nick hornby (a long way down, fever pitch, high fidelity, about a boy, etc!.)
-you've probably read this, but the bartimaeus trilogy, by jonathan stroudWww@QuestionHome@Com

Enders Game!.

Going off of the list you gave us, it sounds like you sort of like Sci-fi-ish kind of books!. So I think you would REALLY like Enders Game!. I love Fahrenheit 451 and Hitchikers Guide as well, and I loved Enders Game even more!. I'd also suggest Enders Shadow and Speaker For The Dead (they are part of the Enders series)!.

If you like Ray Bradbury, you might like Something Wicked This Way Comes!. It was good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
