someone reccomend me a good book
i always go to the library but theres so many god damn books i don't know which one to pick.


i don't read much but i want to be more intellectual so i want to start again.


some books i liked:

canterbury tales cuz of the medieval setting

dark tower #1 (only one ive read but it was cool.)

lotr #1 and #2 havent read #3 yet but i dont feel like reading something i already know the plot too since seeing the movie

stephen king "cell" was ok but got kind of hard to follow towards the end so i never finished it

"I am legend" started off ok i guess not really into zombies but i told myself i can do it though i never got past the first chapter.

Re: someone reccomend me a good book
You asked for a good book:

libër të mirë
bon llibre de la Bíblia
dobra knjiga Biblija
god bog Bibelen
hea raamat Piibel
magandang libro Biblia
hyvä kirja Raamattu
ספר התנ"ך טוב
llyfr da Beibl

Any of the above are good books...

This one is good, too:

Efengyl Sanctaidd

Enjoy!!!

If you really want to be more intellectual I would suggest you avoid the new pop-culture stuff and go for the classics.

Some to consider...

The Catcher in the Rye, J.D. Salinger (he just died so it is topical now).
Nineteen Eighty-Four or Animal Farm, by George Orwell
Lord of the Flies, by William Golding
Moby Dick, by Herman Melville
Catch-22, by Joseph Heller
The Devine Comedy, by Dante Alighieri
Hamlet, by William Shakespeare (actually Sir Francis Bacon, but that is another discussion)
The Master and Margarita, by Mikhail Bugakov (My all-time favorite novel, but is a very complex story translated from Russian)
Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cerventes (my second favorite novel, but is impossible to accurately translate from its original and is a difficult read)

Stick with I am Legend. Excellent book, unlike the latest movie remake which was a total load of dog shit.

The list of classics is very good.

I like the popular stuff too.

Just finished Anne Rice's "Angel Time". Entertaining read.

if u like trashy time pass fiction,lawrence sanders and ed mcbain are best.Commandement series and deadly sins series of lawrence sanders is the best.Also you can read robert parker just to pass time.scott turrow,john lescroat,and don't forget LEE CHILD(one of the best writers).Carl hiassen writes humerous mysteries.Tom sharpe writes delightful comedy.I will tell u more if u reply this post

Re: someone reccomend me a good book
Ted Dekker is an amazing author. He has a crazy good ability to put to words great stories. I like all his books but if you are looking for a good long read try his RED, GREEN, BLACK & WHITE series.

I dont remember the exact order except that WHITE just came out. It is the last one he wrote.

He is a Christian author but dont let that scare you. His writings are NOTHING like the 'Left Behind' stuff. He could be compared to Stephen King or any of the other great psy-fi writers. (I think King even wrote a praise comment on one of Dekker's books.)
