Reccomend a book

[Thistle]

whats a good book to read? I have to go on a 9 hour road trip soon and Im stopping at chapters to get a book for on the way, tell me what the book is and what its about. No graphic novels, I read those to fast.

 

[DigitalElite]

read band of brothers, it is a war novel about world war II, based on a true story...or read like a Robert Jordan novel, he is similar to Tolkein

 

[Khull]

The Entire Shannara Sieries.

14 or so books. Each with a 350-700 page length. You'll love em!

Theres also the Wayfarer Redemption by Sara Douglass. It's a good read also.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

There is a book by Tad Williams I read a few years back,

the Dragon Bone chair. It's a three part series, but the "third book" is divided into two 700 page books.

 

[CelestialBadger]

Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind. All of these are by Orson Scott Card. When you get done with those move on to the Alvin Maker series by Card.

 

[Thistle]

I like books that make you think, similar to the matrix.

and pan what is that book about, I think I have heard about it before.

 

[Pureblade]

If you like fantasy, there's the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. 10 books out right now I think, with an encyclopedia of sorts and a prequel.

 

[Swooper]

Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind. All of these are by Orson Scott Card. When you get done with those move on to the Alvin Maker series by Card.

Yeah, if you havent read thoes, read them. Speaker for the Dead might be my favorite book of all time. The Shannara sieries Khull mentioned is also very good if you like fantacy. And if you havent read the His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman (The Golden Compas, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass), then buy thoes too, its my favorite fantacy series.

^^That should last you a bit more than 9 hours. But read them all anyways.

Thanks guys, I think I have the amber spy glass and subtle knife already although I never read them.

 

[CelestialBadger]

The Ender's series definately makes you think. It's SF but there are a lot of philosophical/religious themes in it.

 

[Thistle]

The enders series?

 

[CelestialBadger]

The books I was just recommending...

 

[shutupandgoaway]

Platos Republic; anything by Plato. He makes people smart.

 

[c9h13no3]

The Darktower series, anything by Issac Asimov

 

[IceDevil9]

if you like psuedo Sci-Fi (But in a modern world) read the Manfold: series by Stephen Bazter (Manifold Time, Manifold iono, and Manifold:Origin).

[Pale_Horse]

if your into fantasy check out R. A. Salvatore he has a series of books on a drow elf called Drizzt Du Urden. Their all paperbacks but theirs a dozen or so with that character and writer. Very well writen actually won awards and all that.

The 9/11 commission report. Everything about the 9/11 event from the cockpit communications to the last words from people in the towers and so on.

The Stand by Steven King, about the last people alive after a plauge hits the world. A struggle of good and evil. Even better for a drive is Steven King's Carrie, just for the hell of it. Actually anything by Steven King, It, the Stand, Carrie, the Shining, ect.

The Art of War originally done by Sun Tsu. Its a great read to figure out life in general.

Hitchhickers guide to the gallexy. Aint tellin you what its about you just have to read it. It's a must own book.

Hope thses help out a bit.
