I need book suggestions!

[Sevaede]

I inhale books....

What kinds do you like?
Besides the ones you listed?

Humour, mystery, true crime?

Pretty much everything that is *not* sci fi or fantasy.

Pretty much everything that is *not* sci fi or fantasy.

Hiaasen-writes extremely funny stuff..Florida based-lots of stupid people.
Vince Flynn- for political thrillers/spy books.
Tom Clancy-military thrillers-very topical topics!
Greg Iles-some different kind of thrillers
Stephen Hunter- especially the Bob Lee Swagger stuff-black light, time to humt, Dirty white boys.
Clive Cussler-good historical mysteries.
stephen King.....altho he, in the last few years has run short on ideas.

So do you like fantasy? (I'm a little confused there) 'Cause the first books on my favorites list ARE sci-fi...like Lord of the Rings, Eragon, Eldest, etc...I highly recommend these ones, and all three are extremely thick books too! hehe Eragon and Eldest are the first two books in a trilogy about dragons, elves, men, magic, and good verses evil by a 17-yr-old named Christopher Paolini. I'm excited 'cause the movie Eragon is coming out this fall too!

I'm not too big of a reader, but my husband, Justin, is. I don't know if you'd like the kinds of books he reads, but I'll list some of his favorites. I read a little here and there.

I think my two favorite books would have to be Tara Road and When The Wind Blows.

Justin's favorite author is Chuck Palahniuk (he wrote Fight Club). I think Justin's favorite book by him is Survivor.

He's currently reading House of Leaves. He's loving it so far.

One of his favorite books is The Straw Men.

Have you read the His Dark Materials trilogy? Justin hasn't yet read them, but a friend highly recommended to him.

Tom Clancy, oh writer of one of my favourite video games ever (as if that's really the point. ). I am sure his books are as awesome as the games.

Hmm, I like history and whatnot! See, the books that I am reading now are To Wake The Dead which is some sort of thriller (I am not good with putting things in genres).

Have you tried these candylicious books
Winter of Fire-somewhat similar to Giver of you've read that one
Penny: The Story of a free soul basset hound
Sacajawea- really long but very good
The Plague Dogs
Watership Down

Here's a few I reviewed on my neopets page years ago, too bad they filter a lot of the words http://www.neopets.com/~hlaoroo452

Oh, I heart Watership Down so very, very much.

I love nonfic books about dogs, cats, etc. I about had a heart attack when they had a bunch of those types of books on sale at Books-A-Million!

[Roxyluvsme13]

Ooh, I know a good Mystery book we just finished in English!
It's Called: And Then There Were None-By Agatha Christie
It's a VERY good mystery!
Plus, at the moment I'm reading Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul.

Pretty much everything that is *not* sci fi or fantasy.

I hate sci-fi too, but I'm telling you, Ender's Game is the ONLY sci-fi-ish book I can stomach. Its just... I don't know. I at least recommend you giving it a shot.

[Toby's my baby]

I'm reading a book now that is called "Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls" and I LOVE it. I don't know if you would like it though. Its not really a 'book' i guess. Its about a phycologist that has teen girls in, and she writes about their stories, and how things are so very different for girls in the 1990's than it was for our parents growing up. It gives stories about girls dealing with their mothers, fathers, divorce, depression, thinness, drugs and alcohol, sex and violence, and other things of that sort. I really want my mom to read it when I am done, because I think she would understand more of what I'm going through as a teenager, and how it is so much different than when she was growing up. I recomend it to parents of teenagers, and teenagers themselves.

Sorry, im not much help

I love those types of books. I don't know how to classify them, though. Books like Speak and She's Come Undone take a special spot with me.

You were good help!
