In a rut. Any book suggestions?

~MusiqueMystique12 Jul 6, 2012

Okay, I've been re-reading all of my books again. I put down the last Lord of the Rings book and realized that I read the entire series five times this summer (and I've already read the series 10 times). I really need some new reading material! Does anybody have any book suggestions? I don't care what the genre is, or whether or not it's fiction or nonfiction. I'm sick of going to the library and checking out books that are too terrible to finish. What books do you guys like, and why do you like them?

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson. It's a trilogy, so it may keep you busy for a while, but I loved it because the characters are easy to relate to in all walks of life; anyone can find themselves between their charismatic personalities and witty banter. Beyond that, though, the series is a masterpiece from beginning to end. I highly recommend it.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin - Louis de benieres, I love that book. A bit of history, a bit of love , heartbreak ...craziness included.

This list is actually one of the best I've seen for amazing and informative reading of all genres.

i recently just finished reading Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and it was really good, and if you have watched the movie it is nothing like it.

Here are some authors you should read.

Franz Kafka, Albert Camus (I'm a new convert to Camus, and I've really dug what I've read so far), Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Anthony Burgess, Hunter S. Thompson, William S. Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Yukio Mishima.

Have you read A Wizard of Earthsea yet? I think you'll enjoy it if you liked LotR.

Well, I loved the book Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. I personally think that everyone should read that book at some point. It's a bit confusing when you're reading it, especially at the beginning. Then at the end of the book, everything makes sense and it's glorious.

I recently read The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstein. I wasn't really satisfied with the ending, but I enjoyed reading it for sure. You have to pay close attention to the times and locations though, because there's more than one story going on.

If you liked the Lord of the Rings, may I suggest something like Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth". Its a historical novel that takes place in the middle ages, but the writing is amazing and the story is incredibly intricate. I'm a massive fan of fantasy, and I still couldn't put this book down. It's very long though...

I'm not all sure what others have mentioned, but one of my favourite books is Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (by Jonathan Safran Foer). You might have seen the film of it, but it's nothing compared to the book. I think the reason why I like the book so much is that it made me feel strong emotions.

Another book that I like (and it's quite short) is called Intimacy (by Hanif Kureishi). And I like the simplicity of the book. And I like that it's different to most books that I read, because it's mostly just about how the main guy sees things, how he thinks, how he analyses the situations, etc. (I feel like I just made it sound boring, but it really isn't.)

The Vampire Hunter D series is pretty good. Also, Halo books are pretty good too. Especially the most recent ones.
