http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JI46V8j5zoo/TbwxuH-yZsI/AAAAAAAAAQo/-vvvy43GJEA/s1600/Dragonlance%2BChronicles.jpg

If you never heard about those and you like fantasy books like Lord of The Rings - Dragonlance is "must read" :)

Johan Wolfgang Ghette "Faust" or Shekspeare "Hamlet" they are intresting because of the ideas they have.

"Ferdinand the bull"

Those are great! :)

Both! (for me maybe like Faust 8.5/10 Hamlet 7.5/10)

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_CAe4xqG2hCU/TFjM9JlHu8I/AAAAAAAACSQ/MffW7Zta-OA/s400/Ferdinand.jpg

Never heard about that one... :) hmm... can you tell something more about it? :)

All the bulls fight and play as they grow up knowing they will face the Matador in the bull fighting contest. All except for Ferdinand, who sits under the cork-tree smelling the beautiful flowers. What happens when it's Ferdiands turn?

Douglas Adams - The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy (5 books)
Jeff Lindsay - Dexter
Isaac Asimov - I, Robot
Richard Branson - Screw it, lets do it
Umberto Eco - The name of the Rose
(Just to name few!)

Generation Kill - it's so well written mainly because the author was there. Seriously go read it - it's long but it's worth your while if you are into war movies. And it is 1000 times better than the TV-show.

Nice :)
I know only Jeff Lindsay - Dexter
Isaac Asimov - I, Robot
Umberto Eco - The name of the Rose

:)

Sounds great! Will check it for sure.

All good books are 1000 times better than the TV-Shows :)

At the time being 18, didnt really know financial literacy.

Lord of the rings - trilogy

"New Slant on Life" By L. Ron Hubbard

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/96/Captainunderpantscover.jpg/200px-Captainunderpantscover.jpg

This book will change your life; I know it changed mine.

No but honestly, my entire collection is on my Kindle, so I can't say I've actually "had" them; if I can include that, I'd pick "As I Lay Dying" by Faulkner.

I would say The Alchemist.So far best

Yes yes and yes.
This is one of my favorite books ever :)

Seems nice :) never read it..
Cover looks silly :) So I am starting to like it :P
But :) I need to read it to say something more about not only a cover :P

Is it good book for children too?

I think the second line of his post told you all you needed to know  ;D.

I know :) but I wanted to make it clear :) that wikipedia is not a book :D as someone might though :P

Agreed ! Wikipedia is not a book ..my friends don't make your own fool! hehehe :P

Ohh so wikipedia is not a book, why didn't you guyz told me earlier i spent my whole day looking for it in library  : PI 
FYI who thinks thats a book i'm sure they haven't used google once in their entire life , WP is the first link I get in almost 85% of google search i perform ..

Left Behind series. http://ts4.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.4545047341500183&pid=15.1

Dune is wonderful!

I heard a lot about Northern Lights, but not yet read it. - will do :)

Terry Brooks - I never read any of her books and it was mistake I guess. :)

Frank Miller's Hard Boiled.

http://pixhost.me/avaxhome/07/0c/00170c07_medium.jpeg

Such a great thread ^_^ for me :P
So many great books! :D

Your reply is interesting ;)

love the artwork of hard boiled.  It's miller's best series.
I like it alot more than 300 or sin city.
Every couple of weeks i check the net for rumors of a movie.

I have this picture in poster size hanging on a wall since 10 years.

http://xenomorphosis.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Hard-Boiled-Frank-Miller-Geof-Darrow-11-228x300.jpg

Artwork is sick (in a good way) :) Very nice poster indeed :)

I can't say anything more about those series because I know only a movie, but I must look at them closer. :)

The truth is that the best is probably thing you are currently reading, watching if you are not bored with it ;-)

Do you mean about reading a book or reading this forum? :)

Both are never boring.

Ring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_%28Stephen_Baxter_novel%29) is a 1994 science fiction novel by author Stephen Baxter. Ring tells the story of the end of the universe and the saving of mankind from its destruction. Two parallel plots are followed throughout the novel: that of Lieserl, an AI exploring the interior of the sun, and that of the Great Northern, a generation ship on a five-million-year journey.

Ringworld (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringworld) is a 1970 science fiction novel by Larry Niven, set in his Known Space universe and considered a classic of science fiction literature. It is followed by three sequels and four prequels, and ties into numerous other books set in Known Space. Ringworld won the Nebula Award in 1970, as well as both the Hugo Award and Locus Award in 1971.

Neuromancer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromancer) is a 1984 novel by William Gibson, a seminal work in the cyberpunk genre and the first winner of the science-fiction "triple crown" — the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award, and the Hugo Award.  It was Gibson's debut novel and the beginning of the Sprawl trilogy. The novel tells the story of a washed-up computer hacker hired by a mysterious employer to pull off the ultimate hack.

The Diamond Age: Or, A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age) is a postcyberpunk novel by Neal Stephenson. It is to some extent a science fiction bildungsroman or coming-of-age story, focused on a young girl named Nell, and set in a future world in which nanotechnology affects all aspects of life. The novel deals with themes of education, social class, ethnicity, and the nature of artificial intelligence. The Diamond Age was first published in 1995 by Bantam Books, as a Bantam Spectra hardcover edition. In 1996, it won both the Hugo and Locus Awards, and was shortlisted for the Nebula and other awards.

Ahh great ! More good cyberpunk stories! :)
From those I know Neuromancer.
Rest I will read asap :)

So many books!

About Ring - I only have seen a movie. I did not read a book.


Thanks for your reply!

Nope, that's about the percentage of books I bothered to read when I was a child :P lol got bored after that and got into Anime/Manga instead or I just read non-fiction.

i had it when i was 16. Was a game changer

Read it four times.

I understand :) when I was younger I read a lot more than I do now.
But it is so good to read some awesome book from time to time. :)


Now I am 29 :P But still maybe it will help me somehow :)



Another interesting book :)
Thanks!

I did not yet read it.
If you did it 4 times it must be very good :)

'At the mountains of madness ' - my favorite

H.P. Lovecraft ... author of best horror books I ever had in my hands.


You might say - that after reading a few of his books it is easy to guess what is going to be in another one:P

But! :) it is not the truth :) Each one is special.

I always will remember his quote
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die." (H.P. Lovecraft "Necronomicon")

I dunno why I love this quote so much :) (Maybe because I was crazy kid playing "Call of Cthulhu"
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/33/Call_of_Cthulhu_RPG_1st_ed_1981.jpg
for many years :P )

The sanity checks made that game interesting.  First time I played I ended up in an asylum.

Anything Lovecraft wrote is worth reading.  http://www.hplovecraft.com/ (http://www.hplovecraft.com/)

To me its Murakami's A WILD SHEEP CHASE.

Lord of the Rings were great.  They were probably the first books I eve read more than once.  I'm reading the giant book of all of Sherlock Holmes' adventures right now, along with Walden by Thoreau, which are both great.

Both titles are great to read! :) I must say.
Two different worlds - LoTR and Holmes :) but both indeed bestsellers and great storytellers.

Thanks for a reply!

We will keep it updating!

Gone With The Wind

How do you think "Best book you ever had?"....
Do you mean "Best book you ever read?"
Or you really think that book is something only for shelves!??

he said Harry Porter not Harry Potter :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Porter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Porter)

:) My mistake.

Haha :)

Porter much better than Potter (imo)
;)

I'm working on writing some of the 'best books you ever read' - the first of which will be out in a few months.

Writing sample: https://hjbuell.com/this-is-alcoholism/

PM me if you want more details.

Hard topic but might be interesting! :)

Dude I just read that! And you've got some awesome skills at describing the room where you woke up! Love it! Let me know when you have more!

He should put it @indie :-)

What you think?

Thanks for the compliments :)

Feel free to PM me to be added to the notification list (I didn't finish the web form yet). Or just 'like' my FB page /hjbuell and you should see it when I advertise the crowd funding stage in a week or so to finish up editing, publishing, and all that jazz :)

The book topic is a bit different than alcoholism - and one I think is more palatable to a wider audience, but no less gut twisting. I'll make a post in the forums here when I get it live. Hoping to crowd fund the entire home stretch, but we'll see how that goes :D

I gotta say. Most of my favorite reads lately have been MLP fanfictions  ::)

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
No doubt it was the best book I've ever read. Humorous, well written, always
interesting and kept being exciting from the first page to the last one. The
movie kinda killed it imo, but the book is pure gold.

9/10 dentists recommend it.

Atlas shrugged. No doubts

I read this, and I must say I kinda liked it. The descriptions were very thorough and really painted a picture.
Good work :)

how do you know which are the best books I ever read? :D

you spying on me? :D

Yes :-) as long as we can read it I guess there is no problem with that. Thanks for your reply

Because, I read comic books too!  ;D

American Desperado.

If that is the best book for you - for me this is another one that I must read in a  future :)

Anybody on here like to trip/expand their mind and consciousness? :)

The Giver (Forgot who wrote it.)

And then a book. I forgot the name of it, but it consisted of just numbers. I think it was a horror story about a place were Christmas exists everyday.

Mein Kampf is interesting, but I think - Adolf was crazy addicted drug scam. And I will never read Mein Kampf again.


Henry part IV is not yet readed by myself and I will perhaps try this  .

Thanks for your respond.
Interesting books.

This thread for me means a lot :) a place where I can always find great title of book to find buy and read :)

Harry Potter :)

Love the story, and I was a child

Earth Abides.  Wrote in the 40's but still a good read today if you like end-of-the-world stories.

I don't know why but I do not really enjoy Harry Potter story. Perhaps I was too old when it was so popular.

But I respect.

Mine is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. It's a great work of fiction litterature spaning many genres, and it deals with economic and political themes that might appeal to my fellow bitcoiners. I'd recommend it to someone who likes Victor Hugo, litterature where both intelligence and emotions are equally prioritized.

Way too repetitive for my taste.   We the Living is probably the shortest and best novel she ever wrote.   It is predictive and accurate.   I think it was written in the 20s

Thanks for the tip, I'll read it. Though I'd argue that it's not repetitive - it passes from a realist world, to a dystopian one and with an utopia thrown in between. Plus there's many characters who we get to know very deeply and who evolve through all of the story. Although the main arguments of the writer are indeed always apparent, but to me that's a good thing.

The Art of War

Harry Potter, all of them.

I also like Harry Potter .  :)

Can't call own one but all Dan brown books interest me.

Lord of the Rings Trilogy

His books are amazing!
http://www.downserv.com/download//cache/db9dcb8ea8861048d10956bb85a483f1.jpg

I did not read all of his books, but most of it for sure :)

Great writer!

Read all with Robert Langdon as the main character, as well as one ( Cant remember the name ) without.
One of the most talented writers I've ever come across. Exciting, well worked through books.
Recommended to everyone that likes to read. Audio books are a good alternative for lazy knobs. :)

Soccer in a Football World is a must for any U.S. soccer fan. The Ball is Round (global history of soccer) is also very good, but be prepared to set aside some time for it (it's over 900 pages).

I also really enjoy Ron Paul's books. Just finished re-reading The Revolution the other day.

Fiction-wise, nothing beats the Hitchhiker's Guide series for me.

metro 2033 :)

indeed this one is worth reading. I love cyberpunk stories.

Glad to see someone else enjoyed it as much as I did, best book series
I've ever read, don't think I'll ever come across something as entertaining.

Cool! I am fond of Lords of the Rings and  I wish these books as good as Tolkien's books !
I am going to find out it soon )

I really enjoyed his books, but I wouldn't say he's a brilliant writer from a literary perspective. I still need to read his latest one.

I am lost :) But "LoTR" is Tolkien's book :)
And it is awesome.

I love harry potter and lotr.

I can't remember what book the last time I bought.... but The last best book I've ever read is Twilight all Pack...

For me - LoTR yes
Harry - no :)


But I never read Harry so how should I know? :) :)

Twilight - I don't lie vampires that can stay on the sun ;) I cannot get it :P it is not for me :)

Vampires lives in a darkness!
Drink blood of victims!
And never - never go to school :P as they don't need, and they cannot go there because they are vampires!

Contrary to many people in here, I hate Harry Potter. It is just not my kind of book at all.

Yes well I think the same, but have you read it? :)

Yeah, I haven't read a fiction book since that I've enjoyed as much as I did Hitchhiker's. I feel like I reached the peak too soon, lol.

Hah you're right about that to be honest, I read it when I was 14-15, so yeah, the peak was too soon.
Altho there's no saying you or I won't find a even better book out there.

I'm ashamed to admit I'm not a big book reader but I've got interested in starting in the past couple months.  I'll check out what others found to be good reads and pick from those suggested.  I need something that will be captivating and informative.

Dan Brown is never wrong if you're looking for a good book. Quality writing, captivating story telling, as well as an opportunity to learn a lot, due to all the research going into his work.

I am a big fan of Harry Potter ! I have read all series of books and have seen all parts of movie

THE WALKING DEAD!!

I sugget to read from a while to while if not often :)
Reading is amazing.
You can travel to another world just like that - just book needs to be good.

:) There are plenty great titles posted on this thread :) choose something that seems interesting for you.

I agree.
His books are amazing. This guy is very wisdom and he know how to create a book that will bring you inside of it.

The Da vinci code has been criticized quite a lot due to some facts that he could not prove, like witch burning figures etc. But apart from that there's enormous sums of facts in a thrilling story, influences of mystery novels as well where you can kinda figure out the ending on beforehand if you analyze the book while reading it. Lots of details in the early chapters that matters a lot towards the end. Great author! :)

When I was a kid, I was given an english translation of Benvenuto Cellini's autobiography.  It gives a glimpse into the life of an artisan in 16th century Italy.

Haven't read a lot of books lately this thread is just perfect for reading material....
Bookmarked..

Anyway I would say the harry potter series..

Najvjerniji (Most faithful)

it's about local fans of a small town which supported their club even when it didn't have any success

I like most Ponniyin selvan ( One of the indian (language tamil) book)

is it possible to get in other languages?

Harry Potter series are all great books. Kinda ruined by the mainstream franchise but still the books are solid.

Quran   by the Creator of the universe

Dune     by Frank Herbert

The Idiot   by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Those are indeed great titles.

Those who not yet read it should check it for sure!
Inspiring books.

Lockstep, and I haven't even read it yet   ;)   ;D

Do audio books count lol

Anybody here read house of leaves?

Well we can count it as a "book" of modern times ;)

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/de/House_of_leaves.jpg

Nope .. but this is very interesting title. I heard about it and about Danielewski's talent.

This is for sure on of the books I must read in near (optional) future :)

Lockstep? :) And how do you know this is best book you ever had if you haven't read it yet? :D

The Bible.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/63/Into_the_Wild_(book)_cover.png
Into The Wild (yep, that is the same Into The Wild as the movie, and yes, the book was published before the movie was made).
Anyway, the book is about Christopher Johnson McCandles and his life. It tells another story around him and his family, and also a few chapters of the authors (John Krakauer) own thoughts. I loved the book, and it makes you think of what is really important in life.

Eragon, it is like only "big" book that I have read.
It tells about man who have dragon.

Here are two of the books to which I got addicted in my teens.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/cf/NES_Adventures_of_Tom_Sawyer_Box.JPG

http://www.unc.edu/~mbphilli/huck/tp.png

thanks for responds! :) I "know" what is Eragon but I never read it.

Rest of those books are well known to me, but I must say I didn't read Coleman for sure.

Eragon is really good book series! The first book is kinda sloppy written, mainly I think because the author was -very- young when he started writing it, but the quality shapes up and the story is solid. Lots of personal connections to the characters in the story as they're very elaborately described.

Tom Sawyer's a classic, have to read it. :)

Da Vinci code ,  Angels and Demons . I read both books within 24 hrs , keep you addicted till end.

The Anarchist cook book is riveting and needs to be on every coffee table across the planet.  Also a fan of the Hustler.  :P

Catcher of the Rye when I was younger

I've read many but I like Ayn Rand's "Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged" the most

I never read it - but I heard about this book.

Need to sit and read it one day :)

Thanks for response!

Both are great! I read both of them and ... it wasn't a waste of time :]
http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll150/hollycat2007/other%20stuff/danbrowncollection.jpg

I just read "And then there were none" by Agatha Christie and I feel its the best...

I also read "The Alchemist" and it is nice simple story I ever read.

I forgot to mention The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown also

Nobody yet mention this one too :)

Saga about the Witcher is truly amazing!

Perhaps some of you will know the game.

Book is from ~1994.

I have this book but haven't read it yet.Hard cover copy seems to huge.Is it worth a read?

The Lost Symbol was a bit of a disappointment to me… I mean both, "The DaVinci Code" and "Angels and Demons" were probably some of the best books I've ever read. However, The Lost Symbol, it was, well, good, but not more. And let's not talk about Inferno then. That was a total letdown. I even wish I hadn't read it.

All Dan Brown's books are worth to read! :)

If you have this book you should read it.

The Lost Symbol is, but you can skip Inferno IMO.

Haha, catcher in the Rye is a classic book you're forced to read at school. ;)
Nonetheless it's not a bad book, quite entertaining!

Thanks for advice.I'll try to read it.Currently I'm on Agatha Christie's masterpiece.

You definitely can skip Inferno - boring as hell - not even close to Dan Brown's other books.

Agatha Christie - Great books if you like investigations and Mr Poriot! :)
He is one of my favorite detectives characters :)

Is it better than Sherlock?

It is different :)
Sherlock is more gloomy :)
Poirot is more happy :)

I say - Agatha Christie books are really light to read.

Cool! Will definitely give it a try.

You should! You wont get bored for sure! :)
Agatha Christie can write for sure -- most of her books were bestsellers.

I've just read Ten Little Indians for now.Would you list some other best books of her?

http://www.ebiblioteca.com.ar/home/img/p/123-173-thickbox.jpg

for example - all of those were bestsellers.

What about War and Peace.Is it a good read.I'm 16 years old, can I read it easily?

you mean this one ?http://www.thebooksguide.com/gallery/war-and-peace-by-leo-tolstoy/war_and_peace_0.jpg

learnt about some nice titles here

Yeah I'm referring to this book. Can you advise?

I haven't read it so I cannot be sure ;)
This book have got great reviews, perhaps you can give it a try! :)

I think Tolstoy is quite a rough author to take a bite out of if you're young. Perhaps if you're an experienced reader.
Then again you can't tell how difficult translations are gonna be to read if you're planning on reading it in your
mother tongue.

I plan to read it in English.

I am gonna read it then.

I would definitely give it a try if that's the case, it's a classic book. :)

I can recommend this one too :)
http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files//7e/6d/7e6d9aa2311dd954dcd6597d417df3e5.jpg

If you have seen "Interview with the Vampire" and you like it a lot, Vampire Lestat is a book for you :)

What are the other best mystery thriller books worth reading ?

I'm currently reading The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.Just read a few chapters so far.

I have also purchased some more novels including War and Peace, Don Quixote and A murder is Announced. Don't have no idea which one to start first.

It´s hard to name just one.
I really liked the "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Milan Kundera, but I also enjoyed "One Hundred Years of Solitude", by Gabriel García Márquez, and so many others.

War and peace will take you a year to read.

Haha. Haven't read the other two but War and Peace isn't exactly a light read. If you haven't got time or patience I wouldn't start it.

For me:

General Relativity. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I have a classmate who finished in 3 weeks.He is a genius but I ain't bad either.

You don't need to be a genius to read fast. The question is, did he take it all in?

My sister gave me this book 5 years ago, and it literally changed my life.

http://www.umnet.com/pic/diy/ebook/mobile%5C34571a45-618b.jpg

I have read other Titles by Dan Brown but missed this one , how does it compare to Angels & Demons , Da Vinci code , No spoiler please :)

How did it literally change your life? That's the first time I've heard a Dan Brown book being called such haha.

Is that the one with the cryptography?

Actually he is as intelligent as I am, we are both among most intelligent academically.But he is a keen reader so it didn't shock me when he finish. Can't say how much he took in but he finished it that's for sure.

They're all good, but I think Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons are his best. I haven't read the latest one.


Oh yeah, forgot about that.

His books are entertaining in a sense but can't understand how it changed your life?

Maybe the book got him into cryptography and hence into bitcoin.

Oh I'm afraid.Do you really mean this?How much would it take for an average reader.

Everybody knows its very long lol.

The average reader? Two years haha. Nah, I dunno. Quite a while. Depends on how much spare time you've got. Tolstoy's books are notoriously long and not very easy to read.

After reading this book, I've started to program my first encryption software based on hybrid cryptography,
and after I finished that, I decided that I want to study computer science.
Before that book I was completely undecided what should i study after high school.
After that a lot of interesting things happend, and I really enjoy programming,
and of course anything that is somehow connected to cryptography.


Yeah, that's true.

Don't be in a rush to do so. Well, actually, just skip it. It's not worth your time. It's absolutely the worst of Dan Browns books (Inferno).

It's not terrible but it is my least favourite of his. It'll make a good film.

Surely you're joking mr feynman.

All the Harry Potter books. :)

Still not read/watched them. Is it better to read or watch?

They make more sense if you read them, however, I think that the movies are very good as well!

i just red einstein's biography.. he's one of the few heroes in history that have done questionable things, but man.. in reading his book, i felt like this man was not only a genius, but an awesome person. i kind of find inspiration from his personality.

Ok I'm up for movies then.Books cost money and time no doubt.

Books cost money - true...
Well for standard people watching movies cost too.. I know that we are in the world of p2p torrents etc.
So maybe you heard about e-books? Or pdfs ? :D
You can download a book for free too. :)

Just maybe it is quite harder to find a book than a movie :P but! :) Still - you can make it no cost.

But I must say I love to keep a book in my hands. Paper pages have something more inside than just "a book".

So true. Personally, I can't read on my phone or tablet - no 'soul' :D

The Pope of Greenwich Village  

Yeah! Really I don't believe in PDFs that's why I said books cost money.I must say I would never read a PDF in my life if REAL BOOK is available.Paper has its own effect.

You could download the PDF and print it out yourself! :)

What about binding, cover etc.Also it doesn't look decent.

No, but the book would be on paper haha! ;D

Also forgot to mention it would be difficult to hold them. Another thing we can't put the printed version of ours in a book shelf etc.For those who like to collect books.

Lord of the Rings is awesome.

Also, Forgotten Realms series is too.

*Huge fantasy fan here*

Yeah! Really I don't believe in PDFs that's why I said books cost money.I must say I would never read a PDF in my life if REAL BOOK is available.Paper has its own effect.
[/quote]

Yes well you're right... :)
Well. Everything costs :) Books too ... and indeed year by year those are getting more expensive.

one hundred years of solitude, g.g. marquez  ;)

Chronicles of narnia

Lord of The Rings and the movie is awesome.

I haven't read the book yet but I will be reading this series + Hobbit .

Reading waste a lot of time,
watching movies would be more easily,I am a lazy guy
 :)

Reading is time consuming but for avid reader , it is addictive .

Did anyone read this? http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17819467-the-juliette-society
;D

Do you recommend this title? :)

I never read it but I see it hasn't got good reviews ;P

Actually he is not recommending, just asking if anyone read that book.

Another great book I can recommend for most of you:

http://houseput.com/img/Books/the-sicilian-by-mario-puzo-isbn-034.jpg

I am 100% all of you will love this book.
It is amazing.

And what I can say about Mario Puzo - all books worth to read.

I was reading this "The 4-Hour Workweek and Timothy Ferriss".
It's a good book, you should check it out.  :)

http://angelab.me/wp-content/uploads/the-4-hour-workweek-tim-ferriss.jpg

well this seems interesting for people like us :)
Maybe we can have some lessons from it :)
I will give it a try soon perhaps (to read :P it).

I was surprised, but I really enjoyed the novella: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Hayworth_and_Shawshank_Redemption

Well I love Stephen King books and this one was very good IMO.

Eye of the World, The Great Hunt, and Dragon Reborn, by Rand Al'Thor  :o

No doubt. For the page count it was exceptional.

I have watched the movie and it was exceptional.

Looks like your typical self-help bs book.

Some of them are worth reading :)

I agree 70% from books that "want to teach you something about you and the world around" are BS - because all depends of a personality.

But! There are 30% self-help books that are brilliant and can change your life :P

Probably the Harry Potter series. Those were amazing, even the movies were good.

I've read it. It's quite good actually, and it has some very good stuff I'll definitely think of if I start my own business some time!

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood is pretty good as well!
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/93007.The_Merry_Adventures_of_Robin_Hood

it is great indeed!
Adventures of Robin Hood is something worth reading.

One of those books where you can find something deeper than just an adventure.

As a kid I really liked Swiss Family Robinson, The old Man and the Sea – Hemingway ,Siddhartha – Hesse,but these days I'd say the RAMA series by Arthur C. Clarke, I read them every year or so.

I read the book "Porn" You will love it! Urvin Uelsh Not sure if i am writing the name of the autor right, but the book is my best choice ever!
BR,
Gondel

This looks like many of my favorit books which i know from my childhood wish i have more time to read them now too :)
BR,
Gondel

The Witcher series. Great humor and story, well fought characters and interesting intrigue.

Yes it was mentioned here already :)

The Witcher is truly amazing.
Andrzej Sapkowski know how to wrote a books.

Either 'Cat's Cradle' by Kurt Vonnegut or 'the 3 stigmata of Palmer Eldritch' by Philip k. Dick. Still undecided.

EDIT: hmmm or 'the Monkey Wrench Gang' by Edward Abbey. OP what kind of question is this. Really.

I read Lord of the Flies but couldn't find it as amazing as people say.It even won Noble Prize.I don't know why.

I totally agree with you. It's well over-rated IMHO. I mean, it's not bad, but it's not like "Wow, this is one of the best books ever!"
But I guess the reason to its popularity is the psychological thing with how fast people can change when condition changes. And an analysis of society, where the most powerful wins, and the weaker becomes slaves in exchange for food.

Labyrinths by Borges. I guess it might not technically count since it's a collection of shorter fictions and essays, but damn, it's awesome.

Dragonlance Chronicles, it's awesome.

Anybody read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown , is it worth to read ?

Yes I'm currently reading. Its good and worth reading but not as good as The Da Vinci's Code)as other say).

Love Dragonlance!

Lately, I read The Hunger Games trilogy. It's good, too, if you like dystopia. Or maybe you can just watch them in the movies.  ;D Death Sworn is not bad, but it's the first of a trilogy (?), so you may want to wait till all the books are out before you start reading.

It's a toss-up. Either 'Rainbow Six' by Tom Clancy. Or, 'One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish' by Dr. Suess.
Hard to pick.

Da Vinci Code was one of Dan's fine work and i always get tempted to read his other titles .

As several others have said, probably "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (the first 5 books of the trilogy at least  :)).

Now, I'm probably going to read "The Call of Cthulhu", which seems to me to have the perfect start for a terror (short) story:


EDIT: Read it, and recommend it.  ;D

I`d say lord of the rings. or harry potter  :D

Anything by Robert A. Heinlein especially Stranger in a Strange Land, The Puppet Masters, Starship Troopers.

He was a genius.

I just ordered The Complete Sherlock Holmes: All 4 Novels and 56 Short

best book for me that i read is warrior of light by paulo coelho
loved the way he described how a person can do good in his life and for other around him ,,

Umberto Eco - The Name of the Rose, Foucault's Pendulum (much better than any of Dan Brown's works I think, with quite different message)
Orhan Pamuk - My name is Red
Fyodor Dostoevsky - Notes from Underground
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - Citadelle, The Little Prince
Ernest Hemingway - For whom the bell tolls

just to name a few ;)

I liked the His Dark Materials trilogy.

My favourite books as a kid are the Chronicles of Narnia and the Hobbit books (but not the LOTR ones). As an adult my favourite books are Nineteen Eighty-Four, Lord of the Flies & Catcher in the Rye.

the Chronicles of Narnia
https://i.imgur.com/Pj1UiSP.jpg

American Gods by Neil Gaiman depicts the modern day existence of down-and-out deities whose power has diminished with mankind's new worship of technology.
The main story, witty and darkly disturbing, will keep you hooked, but the tales-within-tales are equally compelling. A must read.

Do you mean all books in this series? Also what do you think about movies or Are the books better?

Probably harry potter.

You need to read more books (but I liked Harry Potter too).

I agree with that harry potter

The bible  ;D

I must say I think the movie was not too good.

I was working abroad as a painter-decorator when I found whole set of Narnia books in a house cellar
I took them up and saw that I am holding 1st edition of Narnia Chronicles.
So I asked a house owner about it and he told me that I can take them.

And that moment was a day when I started to love those books. 1st one I read in a day:-) next chapters took me a bit longer but Iread all of Iit and I must say that Narnia books are amazing.

I have read but most of my favorite is classics "A Picture of Dorian Grey ".

Hard to give a best - but I would say I've greatly enjoyed the Wheel of Time series. Nice to have an epic fantasy laid out in so much detail with a lot of character depth for once.

harry potter :)

everything from David Icke

The Lord of the Rings

Definitely one of my favourite.
And I must say that Tolkien wrote few other great books.  
If you like LoTR you should read Silmarillion too and not only.

Started to read The adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.I think its right time to read those as I'm already over 16.

The best book is  39 clues. You learn a lot when you read.

The lord of the rings, the movies were okay too.

agree with this  ;D

It's kinda strange looking back, but I think my favorite book of all time is still Orwell's "1984". Weird that a book I read in school would be the favorite... but it's just so perfect.

I have several books but one of them is

Think and grow rich


Think and Grow Rich has been called the "Granddaddy of All Motivational Literature." It was the first book to boldly ask, "What makes a winner?" The man who asked and listened for the answer, Napoleon Hill, is now counted in the top ranks of the world's winners himself.

Thanks for response! This seems pretty interesting. You say it is one of the bests from the books you ever read so in the future I must read it too :)

I will read all of those books posted in here ;) if people say some book is best one - there must be something in it :)


I post quote few book into this thread, but I really must say this one is brilliant too:

http://img2.imagesbn.com/p/9781601638373_p0_v1_s260x420.JPG

It was really good - guy who also wrote this book, (Greg Hartley)  was working for some special forces most of his life and he was investigating people on the war and not only - this is very good one. Really.

Les Miserables

The longest book I ever read and probably my favorite.  I read the unanbridged version which had 200+ pages of historical annotation in the middle which was relatively boring.

Pygmalion was also good.

Harry potter definitely. I like the movie too.

Samkok

story about thee kingdom in chinese,
i like the film and game too  ;D

The Wealth of Nations

Edgar Allan Poe - Books, also H.P Lovecraft books are kind of creepy but really good to read.

The Amulet of Samarkand ...i like it

tom robbins is a good book to read!

"roadside picnic" (story for famous movie & pc game "Stalker") and Maxim Kammerer -trilogy by Strugatzki Brothers (russian sci-fi of soviet era)

all books by hermann hesse & fjodor dostojewski - timeless literature

I loved the Eragon books, they were great

i absolutely hated the movie

I very much enjoyed "holes" it is about boy who went to camp and had to dig a bunch of holes to try to build maturity. 

Is this book basedame? on the recent movie by the same n

It's only loosely based on the original book but has an entirely different story, so not sure why he posted that image here.

Indeed there is no Sherlock Holmes "a game of shadows" book ...
So far as I know :) ( and google.com)

But those :
http://simonvance.com/wp-content/uploads/Sherlock_Holmes.jpg

I can recommend for sure  ;)

Ranger's Apprentice  ;D
Zero  8)

Harry potter

i do not read much. but i borowed a friends copy of QF32. It is the story about the Qantas A380 that had so many critical failures but the pilots landed it safely.  other than that i like reading about drug trafficking.. i dunno why lol. only non fiction books.

Probably the Harry Potter Series :)

Any of the Jared Diamond books, especially Guns, Germs and Steel

critique of judgement

the book that taught me alphabet . :)
 joking
currently
The fault in our stars.

The notebook its a very romantic and inspiring love story i ever read in my life

Really recommend for the book lover

Name of the wind.
Author: Patrick Rothfuss

Best book ever.

Harry Potter Series

The godfather

Elon Musk

you can dl some here: http://www.versobooks.com/blogs/2575-psst-downloading-isn-t-stealing-for-today

The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

Im a fun of crime drama so i read almost all john grisham books.

i think this should be "best book you've ever read"

lord of the flies, one hundred years of solitude, a song of ice and fire, the godfather

A Song of Ice and Fire.

The Secret

A Street Cat Named Bob at the moment is my favourite. But this changes with time, so before some other books were my favuorites, like the crimies from Patricia Cornwell

the hundred-year-old man who climbed out the window and disappeared. google it!

great selection you got there!

Gitanjali- Rabindranath Tagore.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy.
Love that book.

The Hunger Games or The name of this book is a secret( yes thats actually the name)

The maze runner was a great book, as well as The Giver. I suggest you check out the movie for The Giver too.

I admittedly have not read too many books recently. Maybe Brave New World. Dostoyevsky's Notes From Underground was a pretty good read too, it's about the human nature  ::)

Hi, can anyone recommend a site with many e-books for download, best with some literature of fact in .pdf or .epub

Two of my all time favorite novels.The Catcher in the Rye is a 1951 novel by J. D. Salinger and Lord of the Flies is a 1954 dystopian novel by Nobel Prize-winning English author.... :)

FACEBOOK

I love poems about reasoning over life

it was a very interesting book I remember more like I have not seen the name of the body in Paradise

No other book I have read has immersed me in the environment in which is was set like 100 Years of Solitude. When you read it, you can't help but feel you're in the middle of the South American rainforest. I think the confusion of the names only helped contribute to the whole mystery surrounding Macondo.

Guess it's Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne... It's sci-fi, but not sci-fi, cause can be real, and it makes me love this book.

http://bookzz.org/
https://archive.org/details/texts
https://www.gutenberg.org/

I used to have acces to some public Calibre libraries but they're down now and I have no idea where to find them anymore.

I really liked the unusual book "DreamHackers ". Real practice lucid dreaming and stalking, in the form of art books. They can be called "Russian Castaneda"

The plot of the book includes real events from the history of the Russian group of researchers for decades to keep secret the essence of his Researches.

They call themselves dreamhackers . The purpose of "hackers": to create a Russian tradition dreamers ...

Born to Win - Pramod Batra

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

100 years of solitude. That shit blew my mind when I first read it. I didn't know anyone could write that way. Also ficcions the collection of short stories by Jorge Luis Borges is of merit.

It was the lord of the rinks by tolkien and it was so sick to read it few years ago.

Death Gate Cycle - Fantasy

Cosmos - Documentary

12 years a slave was the best.

I think it's the bible. I finish reading/understanding it at age 11. I think it change me to what I am now.

There are so many to choose from.  I would like to pick my most recent one, but I will have to go with an oldie.  I am going to say my best book ever is the yellow hard back holding up my couch.  Without that I would be watching television sideways!!

Gone with the wind is great.

Good for you, sir.



Best book I had was College Algebra and Trigonometry. Don't ask me how but this book actually made me pass math subjects.

The Phantom Tollbooth. Everything about that book made me think in a different way. I know it isn't super mature, and is often pretty silly, but there is something about the way it is written that I just love.

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
The book worth reading. I'm still under the impression I read it 5 years ago.

Gifted Hand ☞BEN Carson (the book teaches you how to put your talent/creativity into action)

Arlene

The World According to Garp by John Irvine or East of Eden by John Steinbeck

Stphen King - Carrie. So good story about girl who was hounded.

I don't read much book...

But I read the entire Lord of the ring trilogy years before it went on screen and that's probably the best thing i'll ever read.

And on n°2 - 1984 from George Orwell.

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

I recommend The Alchemist novel by Paulo Coelho :)

The North Water by Ian McGuire. If you like Game of Thrones, that's as close as it gets.

source (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B7NPRY8/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&btkr=1)

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

Harry Potter Series my fav

good choice no matter how many times I read Paulo Coelho's work, it never ceases to amaze me

Anything by Isaac Asimov.

One of the best books I have ever had was...Harry Potter. However, I have read other good books as well, such as: Paper Towns, Between the Lines, The Leviathan Series(amazing book series), any Rick Riordan book, The Hunger Games, and In Honor by Jessie Kurby.

The Count of Monte Cristo

The Secret Life Of Bees.
http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333819031l/37435.jpg

Divine Comedy of Dante

I enjoyed reading it when I was young it has a really good storyline.

I might get a few looks for it but the best books I've read were the Hardy Boys series of mysteries.

1 the alchemist
2 Musashi
3 the lord of the ring

I've got a raging clue right now.

I have a complete set of Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. One of the best collection of books I've ever had.

i would say the Twilight series                                                                                                       
but another is the May Bird series

The His Dark Materials series, especially the Amber Spyglass

This Present Darkness by Frank Perreti


He Came To Set The Captives Free by Rebecca Brown

My favorite books was "jungle book" and harry potter also i like some warcraft books, was so fun to read about it.
