Can anyone recommend me some good books?

[LukeB]

I've got into reading last year and i've started with Harry Potter but i will need to read some more once I've finished all 8 books(well I have 5 left)

Horror/Thriller/fantasy/adventure are my interests with it being long

[Niamh.]

Well obviously A Song of Ice and Fire series is great but you're watching the show right now so i don't know how you would feel about reading them too

:laugh: good point, it's one of the reasons why i didn't read harry potter because of the spoilers. I didn't know the deaths and I was shocked when watching it.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

the uglies/pretties/specials trilogy is cute and very similar to the hunger games

[LukeB]

Hunger games is on my book list so i will look into that as well

Don't bother. If the first one is anything to go by, they're dreadfully written.

Make sure you read factual books to so you are always learning

[Lostie!]

I already suggested this for you but The Magicians. Harry Potter meets Narnia with a more adult tone. :spin:

Yeah, there's nothing to be learned from fiction. :think:

The Shining. I don't read much but it's one of my favourite books.

Slay :love:

and I heard Carrie is good as a book too.

I've never read Carrie (love the film though), I'd be interested to read it though.

[Jason.]

IA with The Shining, I love it and the book is better than the film.

I prefer De Palma's original Carrie to the book though, idk if that's an unpopular opinion.

I think I might read that soon actually. I read somewhere that Stephen King hated the movie

[Jamie89]

He did apparently, personally I love the film but I do think the books better.

I just found out as well that he released a sequel to The Shining a couple of years ago called Doctor Sleep (I had no idea) so I'm going to give that a read soon... has anyone read it? It sounds pretty good.

Yeah he does lol, he said the film was disappointing and never understood why it's considered a classic. I read that he also tried to talk Kubrick out of casting Jack Nicholson as he wasn't how he pictured the character of Jack and he wanted someone more normal-looking so it would've made his gradual descent to madness much scarier (which I get but Nicholson's performance was amazing).

Like Jamie, I think the film is great but the novel is better. There's parts from the book that are missing in the film.

Ooh I didn't know this.

[Lostie!]

Even I knew :idc:

[Xtopher]

I'm really into Stephen King right now, so I highly recommend his novel, It.

Since reading it, I've ordered 4 more of his books (which comes in today, yay)
