Answer

A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin An amazing epic famntasy series, my personal favorite, it is very gritty and harsh at times, but if sex and violence doesnt bother you too much, the plot lines are amazing without getting too hard to follow. There is a lot of detail, and it is a lot of politics, but the world created and the characters are better designed than any other fantasy I have read.brbrPrince of Nothing by R. Scott Bakker This is another fantasy series. It is basically the same as Martin in terms of grit, but this is a completed trilogy that is part of a bigger series, The Second Apocalypse, whereas ASOIAF is not yet finished, if you dont want an incomplete series. This one also struck me as very philosophical at points, and I really enjoyed it.brbrAngelas Ashes by Frank McCourt I had to read this one for school recently and I adored it. If you havent read it, definitely try it sometime.brbrThursday Next books by Jasper Fforde These are literary mysteries, and they are pretty damn funny. Theyre basically about a literary detective, Thursday Next, who has to go into books to corect plotlines and such. I really enjoyed them.brbrThe Teammates by David Halberstam This is about four members of the Boston Red Sox Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Johnny Pesky, and Dom DiMaggio and the friendship they formed when playing together. Its worth the read even if youre not a sports fan, and even moreso if you are. Just a great tale of four friends, who also happened to be amazing baseball players. One of my personal favorites.brbrAre You Dave Gorman? by Dave Gorman and Danny Wallace Just flat out hilarity. Anything by either of these guys is worth the read.brbrFallen Angels by Walter Dean Myers One of the best and most emotional books Ive read recently. I absolutely loved this one.brbrOkay, so theres plenty more I could rec, but Ive listed quite the variety here, and if you read one of these and like it, come back and ask for authors that are like whichever one you liked! Hope theres something here that youll enjoy!

Answer

. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseinibr This is an absolutely amazing book. Powerful and disturbing to the extreme. I cried so much reading this book. It really made me have a better appreciation for people and culture and loyalty. Its amazingbrbr. The Stand by Stephen Kingbr Another amazing book. So apocalyptically scary. Probably one of the only books that has ever made me really scared, as opposed to just creeped out. It all seems so real. I think that every book or movie about bad, scary things is a ripoff of this book. None compare.brbr. Reefer Madness by Eric Schlosserbr This book completely changed how I feel about a lot of things, marijuana especially. There is a really cool section of this book about how ridiculous it is that people are incarcerated for it. Ive gotten into a lot of heated discussions about it, and I am usually able to win quite easily with points from this book.
