Book Recommendations

Figured I’d make a thread for people to recommend books they’ve read.

Recently I made a goal for this summer to read 10 books. However I’m only two in. I’ve read “Chasing the Scream,” a book on the history of the war on drugs and it’s effects on the US communities. The second book I’m about to finish is “In the Buddha’s Words,” this book I was recommended by a friend. It’s not so much religion but the psychology on Buddha’s teachings and how it’s taught people to do good.

Please throw in some recommendations below.

 

Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin

 

I read that a few years ago and loved it. I then read another book by her called “The Hole We’re In.” And I’d highly recommend.

 

@Espurr I read Fahrenheit 451 and was the slowest book to get into but I ended up loving it. I’ll give the One Day in the Life if Ivan Denisovich a shot

 

if you like Fahrenheit, I suggest 1984 by George Orwell and On Tyranny by Timothy Snyder. I also haven't read Brave New World or Rhinoceros yet, but I heard both are great too.

 

Sea of Monsters by Percy Jackson, I also enjoy reading his books in general on a hot summer day outside on my hammock.

 

Stephen King's The Shining

Its way different than the movie, and better

 

Horns by Joe Hill ... then you can watch the movie after - which is just as good. It's a nice quick read though.
and hes Stephen Kings son. I take it on every flight.

Doug Stanhopes book, Digging up Mother. If you like dark humor, with true stories, its a great read. Especially if you are a comedy fan.

AND TURTLES I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU HAVENT REREAD THE HARRY POTTER SERIES U ARE DOING IT WRONG.

 

- 1984 was recommended to me on Amazon but I didn’t look into it much. I’m going to the bookstore today and I’ll look for it!

- Rick Riordan is a good among authors. I’ve read all his series.

I read “It” and my god that book just felt never ending. There were way too many details and characters to keep up with. So I don’t know if I can handle another Stephen King. The dude has to be mental for the shit he came up with.

- No lie I’ve never read the Harry Potter Series, I liked the movies and that was enough. Plz no hate. But I will check out the dark humor one, that’s my type of stuff right there.

 

Nah dude The Shining is just about one family in one location, it delves deep into just that.

 

Brave New World. It's shockingly similar to life today which is a little spooky

 

Womans Murder Club Series, Alex Cross, and Maximum ride, I fucking Love James Patterson Books

 

I read the maximum ride books and enjoyed those, which book would you recommend next by him?

Who's that by?

 

Aldous Huxley

 

The womans murder club series is up to 18 books with a 19th coming soon i always read them, each is around 300 or more pages, and each builds off the next.

 

I quite liked 9780673393371
It's history, but it helped me learn about the life of someone, someone who had troubles in life, had little education, but worked their way up to be the president of the United States.

 

I appreciate the ISBN number lol

 

Mein Kampf is an intriguing psychological experience, when you go in knowing that the words were written by basically irl The Emperor

 

Humble Pie by Gordon Ramsay. Great read. ^_^
