Recommend me some books...

[Shaun]

Cult classics would probably be more suited to me, I loved the likes of On the Road, The Catcher in the Rye, Catch-22, Brave New World etc.

I just don't have anything else to thumb through atm besides uni work, and those are mostly of the poetry/Shakespearean variety which, whilst important, aren't terribly interesting.

[Niall]

I haven't really read many cult classics myself, but I thought these books were pretty damn good:
-His Dark Materials - It's a series of three books. They're all excellent. If you haven't already read them and enjoy fantasy (with a sort of sci-fi twist) then you should definitely consider it.
-Uglies - It's a series of books set in a world where everyone is given an operation at 16 to make them 'pretty'. It's a good read.
-Delirium - I've only started reading this but I really like it already. It's about a world where love is treated as a disease.

The Lorien Legacies are worth a read. Its the I Am Number Four series.

Have you read frankenstein?

[Glenn.]

No Kizzy I'm not interested in reading something in Ye Olde English. I'm 24 not 104

[Shaun]

It's written in perfect English, it's from the nineteenth century not the ninth :crazy:

[Glenn.]

How much of Frankenstein can you want to no more about?

You know the scientist brings him to life. Its pointless reading a book you already know the outcome of :crazy:

[Shaun]

[Glenn.]

Oh are you unfamiliar with the story of Frankenstein then Shaun? Have I spoiled anything for you? :joker:

[Niall]

[Me. I Am Salman]

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is quite good, reading it now

[Glenn.]

Niall is His Dark Materials actually good. I have them and I've never read them :S

[MTVN]

Crime & Punishment, what a great novel

[Shaun]

[Jessica.]

The Lorien Legacies are worth a read. Its the I Am Number Four series.

[Benjamin]

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger
The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three
The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands
The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass
The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla
The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah
The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower

[Shaun]

I want to get into that series some day Ben :D

I went with The Great Gatsby and The Bell Jar on Amazon, though :laugh: I asked Jen for help LOL

[Benjamin]

You really should Shaun. The Gunslinger is a bit slow but it builds up for the rest of the series.

[SharkAttack]

Both very good. Also, if you're a Salinger fan, try out Franny and Zooey, if you haven't already. It's better than Catcher in the Rye, IMHO, and may be my fav of all time, not a "top 10 or top 50." I don't know you as a close friend, but what I *do* know of you says this would be a book you would very much enjoy. :hugesmile:

[SharkAttack]

And East of Eden by Steinbeck. <goes off to sort out the Asimov novels>

[Niall]

Niall is His Dark Materials actually good. I have them and I've never read them :S

Yeah! I loved them! I read them when I was younger, but I've re-read them in the past few months. A lot of it was difficult to grasp when I first read them. But now I'm older I understood, and enjoyed them even more the second time around.

The only thing that's weird about them is the language of the books. It's set in an alternate universe so a lot of everyday things have alternate or archaic names (like 'anbaric' for electricity).

They're definitely worth a read. They're fantastically written and the plot is gripping too. :love:

The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books. I would also recommend any Kurt Vonnegut novel but most of all Cat's Cradle or Slaughter House Five
