recommend me some books please

Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas, Three Musketeers is also very entertaining.

What kind of stuff you into to atleast narrow it down, fiction, non-fiction, religon, math, comps, and science?

if fiction than to kill a mocking bird was one that i finished although macbeth was a lil on the dry side.

if you like horror then stephen king or mabe what that other guy said before me. 

Try the series from Piers Anthony called The Incarnations of Immortality or the Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway.

Everyone Poops.  Its an absolute white-knuckled, in-your-face thriller that pulls no punches. I'd give it 9 thumbs up. 

 [spoiler] The non-stop action will make you so tense you'll want to stab a panda and/or possibly punch a dolphin in his/her happy-go-lucky face. [/spoiler]

One of the most original and enjoyable books I've read in a while is The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks.

One of the reviews in the cover sums it up pretty nicely without giving much away:

"Ferocious....An invigorating parable, with a cliff-hanger ending that cries out for future installments...There are traces of Star Wars, The Matrix, Kill Bill and Minority Report.  There are echoes of Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Joseph Campbell, Jeremy Bentham... Amazingly, this novel sustains a new voice even when is roots show."

Yeah, that's probably better than any description I would have come up with. ;)  I can't wait until he writes the second one.

The Chronicles of Narnia series. And 'The Hobbit.'

The His Dark Materials series.(It doesn't have anything to do with masturbation or porn)

The Invisible Man was equally entertaining.

If you read his whole post you would have noticed he said cell, it's the fourth last word.

i strongly suggest reading anything Bukowski. he's an easy read, everyone knows him, and you can spark up an interesting conversation with people ten times smarter than you.

 you should read POST OFFICE first, then branch out to his poetry. there is stuff on youtube that you can watch as well.

Holes.  I think it was the last book I ever finished:P-OpaK-

Same. The movie was pretty good also.

The Jungle by Upton Sinclair, the tale of an immigrant in Chicago. It's shocking and gutwrenching. You'll look at everything differently. Just thinking about that book makes me incredibly happy to be wearing socks right now.

Also, Animal Farm by George Orwell. I found it much more enjoyable than 1984. Where Animal Farm was smart and fun to read (noting the common traits between pigs and politicians is always fun), 1984 made me feel utterly hopeless and horribly aware.

 Anyways, I highly recommend those. :)

Alphabet of Manliness, by Maddox.CRS98

[QUOTE="CRS98"]Alphabet of Manliness, by Maddox.Silchas

Yeah, it was an amazing book.  Have it on my shelf right now, thoroughly read and studied.  *chews on Beef Jerky*

My recommendation would go to:  Steven Erickson's "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series.  Great epic, brutal fantasy.

Alphabet of Manliness, by Maddox.CRS98

Maddox is the hacker that hacked Valve. :P

I really enjoyed reading ANY book from Stephen King! 

Can't go wrong with Harry Potter.

If you want a mature book try The Book of the New Sun.

Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield.

Actually, Gates of Fire, Alexander: Virtues of War, Tides of War and The Last of the Amazons of Steven Pressfield.. they're masterpieces, and compared to the general crap.. They're modern Illiads. 

Why is the Harry Potter series that... highly rated?

 It's good but it's still aimed at a younger age, e.g the sophistication of it is.. minimal. I'm not saying it's bad, no by no means, but for an older audience there are better books (in my opinion).

1984- George Orwell

Homage To Catalonia- George Orwell

The Dark Elf Trilogy- R.A. Salvatore

The Sword of Truth- Terry Goodkind

I second that,  

The best fantasy books ever written are not the Lord of the Rings books.  There exists a set of books that literally re-defines contemporary fantasy.

George R. R. Martin's, A Song of Ice and Fire

1. A Game of Thrones
2. A Clash of Kings
3. A Storm of Swords
4. A Feast for Crows

I can't desribe how much this series completely trumps series like Harry Potter, Salvatore, and the Wheel of Time in terms of depth, complexity, humor (the books are hilarious), and creativity. 

Easily the best fantasy written in the last 20 years.  If you want a very gritty, adult-themed, novel that isn't afraid to inject themes that should be in fantasy, go for it.  You won't find better. 

"Atlas Shrugged"  -  Ayn Rand
