I haven't actually read The Hunger Games series haha!

I fully and whole-heartedly agree with the Night Angel Trilogy. Along the same lines of that Would be the Robin Hobb's Assassin Series. A solid Epic fantasy would be Tad William's Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn trilogy. Starts with "A Dragonbone Chair". He's easily one of my favorite Fantasy authors.

Child appropriate reading... Growing up one of my favorite authors was Bruce Coville. He does mostly Sci-fi Fantasy stuff. The Space Brat series, The Dragonslayers, and Goblins in the Castle (I still own my original paper back of this)were some of my favorite when I was a youngin...

Sadly I can talk about books for days...

Night Angel Trilogy = pure epic.
Also The Lightbringer by Weeks Brent is pretty good

This series, definitely. You might know it better from the show Game of Thrones.

this. its awesome

Absolutely. This series would be my first recommendation for sure!

Book is much,much better then tv series.

+1

+infinite

Excellent Books.

I was actually planning on getting The Witcher at some point. Didn't get very far into the game since I outrageously sucked at it, but from what little of the story I got to experience I became very interested in the book.

This so many times this!

The Last Wish is epic.

The Sword of Destiny is even more.

Blood of Elves is good but stop the book at half story!

I still have to get my hands on the rest of the series :(

I've read every one of the seven books, and i must say if there's a book to reccommend it's this. Also Narrenturm trilogy of the same author is pretty cool.

You know, I've actually been recommended that before and I never actually looked into it, I'll need to do that.

I second that. There are also fun movies based on the books.

+1 many people reccommend this series to me. What book should I read first in order to understand the story better?

EDIT: I saw your reply only now

I agree they are great, read all but the latest of them myself. Remember though, not all books are created equal. From what I can recall the first two books were a little slow, still good, just not his best :)

+∞

+1 yeah :)

+1 I think they are the best books I've ever read

Anything written by Terry Pratchett is good.

Haha, now there's a very obvious one :P

Nice choice!

Oh The Dark Tower, brilliant series. Though I will admit the ending was a bit of a kick in the nuts.

+1 read this.

+2 Gabriel García Márquez all the way.

Hmm, I'll see if it's been translated.

Fantastic book.

NO

Huh, I want to read it just from the name alone.

I've been recommended that one in the past as well! It looks VERY interesting.

I came to recomend this, but just the ones wrote by Frank Herbert, the other are a bit meh.

Hehe, Cuckoo.

Never actually got into the Percy Jackson series.

i absolutely LOVE the percy jackson series, seriously amazing books!

Yet another recommendation for Discworld, huh, I'll certainly need to hurry and look into it!

Millenium trilogy -> one of worst books I`ve read lately. If you like good crime book stick with classics - Agatha Christie is one of best authors for me.

It really doesn't matter on where to start Discworld? I keep hearing people say that but I can never really believe them and since there's some 50 books or so out there in the world I was never able to bring myself to just jump in anywhere.

If he was to read a dystopian themed books I'd suggest he went for either Farenheit 451 by Bradbury, A brave New World by Huxley or We by Yevgeni Zamyatin (I think it was spelled like that)

I consider those books to be better overall than Orwell's works

EDIT: Well, not only that but 1984 is practically a ripoff of We

I agree with both "1984" and "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". Both great books, I read them this Summer.

+1 for Dune. I've only read the first, but my dad recommends all of them, especially Chapterhouse: Dune.

I can't vouch for Philip K. Dick, but he's certainly on my to-read list.

I agree, Im Westen Nichts Neues is quite good ("All Quiet on the Western Front", in English I think).

+1 Great books, you should start there!

Don't feel like listing all of my likes, but one of my favorite books would have to be American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

+1 all of these
