Even if a book appears above your reading level, you should be able to adapt pretty quickly. I remember the first time I started reading Lovecraft I was a bit confused because his writing is so verbose- I had to read back over stuff a few times to get what they meant. Now, though, I glide through Lovecraft.

You can be very confusing.

Anyways, which books are you asking about?

You are correct, I read Straub but my brain saw Backman.
Thanks for correcting it.

No problem.

Sorry

I didn't mean these i meant this. I was talking about Myst: Book of Di'n (sp?). Myst is also the name of a really old computer game, with two sequals: Riven and Exile, which were all extremely hard.

The reason I said these was because there are two more books in the series.

Funny, I went back to try to find the original post discussing the Myst books, but it was nowhere to be found. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough.

Hope that clears things up!

(and if it doesn't...well...it's not all that important)

Edgar Allen Poe is cool. And Lecter, did you once go by another name here? Your sig and avatar are both familiar, but I seem to remember a different name. But maybe those are just standard things that many people do. . .

No..who dares to copy me! My original avatar was cool...didn't know anyone copied it, ah oh well.

Anyway a great author is S.E Hinton and some excellent books written by Hinton were The Outsiders and Rumblefish

Hmm. Maybe I'm just thinking of you but I think it's someone else for some reason. Oh well.

Read Terry Pratchett. If you read nothing else in your life, READ HIM!

Neil Gaiman's American Gods is good. Here's a free copy. Check it out.

This thread loses 80 billion points for not having a single mention of the now inaccurately named Foundation Trilogy, which has expanded to 5 books, and even more if you count the sidestories. Foundation and Empire (the second book in the series) is the best thing I've ever read.

Also, while they won't expand your vocabulary, I highly recommend the Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams and How I Conquered Your Planet and The Exploding Detective by John Swartzwelder, all of which are some of the funniest things ever.

Le Petit Prince. Read it in the original language if you can (french) but if not, the popular translation will do.

Certainly gives a perspective on the adult world.

The Rama Series is pretty good and I'm a big Raymond Feist fan.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #64 on:** March 07, 2008, 03:08:18 PM »

I'm going to start reading First Blood by David Morrell tonight after I get home from work. It's the book that first introduced the character Rambo and the movie First Blood was loosely based on the book.

NWR_DrewMG · « **Reply #65 on:** March 07, 2008, 06:11:49 PM »

I've been reading the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin and that is very good. I'd check out book one, "The Game of Thones" if you're into politics or fantasy or both.

I actually hated a Winkle in Time when they made me read it in seventh grade. Sorry.
