Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Why don't you go to the library and pick some books by Authors you have never read before, if you don't like the books bring them back and it never cost you anything, then keep doing that until you find Authors you like, I've come across some really good Authors that i would never have thought i would like by doing that, once you find someone you like you'll spend the money on one of their books knowing that you like them!. One of my favorite Authors is "Lesley Pearse" she is an English author I've read tons of her books and loved every one of them!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

It really depends on what you like to read!.!.!.I don't really understand how you can love to read and never find a good book- there's so many out there! Have you read Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit by Tolkien!? Chronicles of Narnia by C!.S Lewis!.!.!.!. those are all great classic fantasies that are some of my very favorite books!.

I also really like Kaffir Boy by Mark Mathabne- it's an autobiography, but written like a fiction book; it's about a pro tennis player's childhood growing up during Apartheid in South Africa!. I liked it because it's a true story and really opened my eyes to the cruelty of apartheid and taught me about a period of history that I never learned about in school!. Be warned though, it's very graphic!.

I also really loved Diana Gabladon's Outlander series- they take place in present day, but mostly in 17th century Scotland and America when the colonies first started; they follow a woman who accidently goes back in time, and they're really great! These are books that I'd only reccomend though if you're at least 18 and female :)

And if you're into horror/thriller books, Stephen King and Michael Crichton are both excellent; try Stephen King's Dark Tower series starting with Gunslinger!.

Try some of the great classics, like The Three Muskateers or The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas!.!.!.or, anything by H!.G Wells, Jane Austen!.!.!. some of the Sherlock Holmes books are really good!. Oh, The Hiding Place is a great true story that takes place during the Holocaust!.!.!.can't remember the author's name!.!.!.

Those should keep you busy for a while! And if you still don't know, try asking the question again, but wait, and when you type in something like "good book recommendations" in the box, tons of similar questions will come up (people ask this question several times a day) and you can read their answers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Some of my favorites are:

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy (of 5 books) by Douglas Adams- a funny and bizarre sci fi book!.

Memoirs of a Geisha by William Golden is a great book too, it is heart wrenching and one of those books that just sucks you in!.

Anything by Christopher Moore is laugh out loud funny, although he uses a lot of profanity and some odd concepts in his novels!.

This is a hard question to answer without knowing what books you have enjoyed reading or a little more info about you!. Otherwise it is a random stab at the universe (of discourse)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Terry Pratchett's Discworld series is goofy parallel-universe fantasy!. While some of the books cover potentially depressing topics, they're very feel-good and hilarious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"In 1877, two gentlemen, Messrs Tonnison and Berreggnog, head into Ireland to spend a week fishing in the village of Kraighten!. While there, they discover in the ruins of a very curious house a diary of the man who had once owned it!. Its torn pages seem to hint at an evil beyond anything that existed on this side of the curtains of impossibility!. This is a classic novel that worked to slowly bridge the gap between the British fantastic and supernatural authors of the later 19th century and modern horror fiction!. Classic American horror writer H!. P!. Lovecraft lists this and other works by Hodgson among his greatest influences!."

"The Ghost Pirates !. !. !. is a powerful account of a doomed and haunted ship on its last voyage, and of the terrible sea-devils (of quasi-human aspect, and perhaps the spirits of bygone buccaneers) that besiege it and finally drag it down to an unknown fate!. With its command of maritime knowledge, and its clever selection of hints and incidents suggestive of latent horrors in nature, this book at times reaches enviable peaks of power!." — H!.P!. Lovecraft

The Night Land
by William Hope Hodgson
[O]ne of the strangest visions ever published in science fiction or fantasy is presented!. The Sun has gone out: the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism!. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, the Last Redoubt, probably the first arcology in literature, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark!. These are held back by a Circle of energy, known as the "air clog," powered from the Earth's internal energy!. For millennia, vast living shapes - the Watchers - have waited in the darkness near the pyramid: it is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies!. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human!.?a Excerpted from The Night Land on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia!.
