Recommend me a book

Night Shift by Stephen King

 

That's a good one.
I just read "Permanent Midnight" by Jerry Stahl. A true-life, harrowing portrayal of heroin addiction. They made it into a movie starring Ben Stiller in the late 90s. It's about 350 pages. A gripping read.

 

Don Quixote.

 

Breakfast of Champions by Vonnegut.

 

The short stories of Robert Louis Stevenson. "The Suicide Club" and "1001 Arabian nights" Great stuff!

 

Jitterbug Perfume - Tom Robbins
Another Roadside Attraction - Tom Robbins
Still Life with Woodpecker - Tom Robbins

3 of the best books I have ever read, trippy but interesting and you wont put them down until you are done.

For sci-fi the Neuromancer series by William Gibson or the Tarot Series by Piers Anthony.

There are also 3 compilations of sci fi short stories from the late 60's and early 70's edited by Harlan Ellison called Dangerous Visions, friggen awesome!!!!!!! To Reign in Hell - Steven Brust. An book about the revolt of the angels from a different point of view, a great read.

 

"A Game of Thrones" by George R. R. Martin

 

hey i got the Under Painter from my teacher at the school leaving cermony(spelling) but it looks to be a very good book...i didn't get acahnce to read it yet....as you can guess its about art.

 

Just so you know, Night Shift is a collection of short stories not a novel. In the same vein, Different Seasons is a top-notch collection of tales as well.

 

Hyperion by Dan Simmons

 

I'd like to second Hyperion and Neuromancer, and add the following:

Cryptonomicon or Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
A Confederacy of Dunces John Kennedy Toole
Dark Sister by Graham Joyce
Sleeping in Flame by Jonathan Carroll
Eon by Greg Bear
The Once and Future King by T. H. White
Shogun by James Clavell (somewhat historical, still great)
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams

 

'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' by Douglas Adams


Nobody doesn't like this book.

 

I never read this guy's other stuff before, but I picked up "The Terror" off of the Onion's recommendation, and was very impressed. It's 700+ pages, so it should take a while.

 

I'm reading that right now: a great read!

 

+10000000000000

One of very few books that I've actually burst out laughing while reading.

I also recommend the books that followed...
The restaurant at the end of the universe
Life, the universe and everything
So long and thanks for the fish

Haven't read Mostly harmless though..

 

"The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand

I also second "Eon" by Greg Bear because I'm a sci-fi nerd.

and "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut because it's rad.

 

Cannery Row by John Steinbeck
Fight Club by Chuck P.
Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Go Ask Alice by Anonymous
