  • The Sick Bag Song by Nick Cave , ofcourse I recommend same time to listen Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds when read the book, just to get right feeling kiss

  • Today I recommend to you David Lagercranz book That Which Does Not Kill Us,based by Millennium trilogy of Stieg Larsson. This book is in crime fiction scene. Very good book.  kiss

  • Today I recommend you to read Jo Nesbø's book Blood on Snow, this belongs in crime scene,Olav; man in the book have a good heart but snow is colouring bloody red, and red is colour of love, find out yourself what this mean... kiss

  • You really should read Jordin Tootoo All The Way:My Life On Ice-book, NHL first known Inuk player's book, it is very interesting story of his life  kiss

  • I think that novel, Crime and Punishment 'by F.Dostoyevsky is very important . First, it was a highlight of realism when Dostojevsky wrote this book - because that he was a great, even greatest writer of russian realism.  He shows Raskolnikov with real human motives and in his dual mind we can see real, human psyche and feelings, without beautifications and good things.

  • easy Tomorrow When The War Began. 10 books total.

  • Just found a new author I like... just finished 3 of her 4 books. Paula Daly "What Kind of Mother are you" I also like Elizabeth Haines

  • Niccolò Ammaniti - Let the Games begin. His only book I've read so far, but I will look for other as well.

  • Among the Thugs written by Bill Buford, book about football hooliganism, recommended if you like to read something different than Harlequin books  kiss

  • one of the best book i've heard is ana kranina. writer is leo tolstoy. it is one of the best with exiting story. recommendation!

  • Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez , good book from excellent writer, highly recommended, story of human and love  kiss

  • Submission by Michel Houellebecq, this book tells about policy situation in France, great story

  • Between the World and Me written by Ta-Nehisi Coates is magnificent story of  thinking own place in the world via letters.  kiss

  • A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin, the five-book collection that served as a basis for GoT, of course it is infinitely better than the TV show.

    In fact, George is a genius.

  • Physics of the future by Michio Kaku

    Michio kaku is a famous theoretical physisist (dunno how you spell that). For this book he sat down with hundreds of scientists whom are the best in their respective fields. Based on the technique of today, the projects and patents that are being developed at this moment, and which will be realized in the bear future, he sketches an amazing image on where we are in 20 50 and 100 years from now.
    It is really astonishing if you think about those things that are goining to be real within our life time.

  • I recommend  David D. Burns „Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy“ This book is for people who has various psychological problems. This book will help you to become your personal mental doctor. In any case of your life, you will able to help for yourself:)

  • In summer I spend less time in computer, I travel and spend time on the beach reading and having fun, now it's time to get back in forum and tell you my recommendation of the latest book which I read.

    Best book which I read in this summer was Jorma Vuoksenmaa's book published with Unibet,

    Jorma Vuoksenmaa is pro sport betting tipster and his book "Pelaajilta pelaajille" (from player to players in english I think) is very useful to any sport betting player. It gave many valuable tips to bets and tells fine story about man behind the brand. I highly recommended his earliers book which have also published in english and if you do sport betting you should definitely google name Jorma Vuoksenmaakiss

  • I recomend great book by Jeff Diamant:
    Heist! The 17 Million Loomis Fargo Theft

  • I recommend books by Augusten Burroughs, they are based on his childhood, which was very.... unorthodox. Great fun and hilarious. His most popular one is Running with Scissors, but I would also recommend Sellevision and Magical Thinking. 

  • Great book by Suzy Spencer called Wasted, about crime that shocked a city Austin in Texas.

  • I am not a big fan of reading books, but lately i was interested in reading the Hunger Games thrilogy and i must admit that its awesome. However, you can go the easiest path and watch the movie, but the movie is not even a 20% good as the books are.  For the first time in my life, i just couldnt stop reading them. I would recommend this to everyone.

  • I've read each these books a few times so I would deffinitively reccomend Confessions of a Mask by Yukio Mishima and A Personal Matter by another Japanese author Kenzaburō Ōe. If I continue like tihs I will learn these two books by heart. 

  • Hey guys my recommendation for a book to read is A million little pieces by James Frey. Some say that main charachter in that book is the wwriter himself but that is not official and the story is very deep hard to understand so you will need to brain it out. Peace

  • Its hard choise but I have to say that my favourite book is Lord of the rings written by Tolkin. Its much better than movie.

  • Ellie Wiesel: Night

    J.R.R.. Tolkien: Hobbit

    Nives Celzijus: Gola Istina

    Radim Malinic : Book of Ideas

  • Love the old "Vorkosigan saga" by Lois McMaster Boujold. Can't wait for new novelle "Gentleman Jole and the red queen" to be translated in my country.

  • Hmmm.. My suggestion is  "Na Drini ćuprija - Ivo Andric" (on english is The Bridge On The Drina - Ivo Andric).. Andric won the Nobel Prize for this book and its very very good book!

  • So being from here, about 20 years I was looking through my school library and found my all time favoriate books series, Tomorrow when the War Began," by John Marsden. This series is world famous and has been taught now in our schools for years. Its about a small country town and a group of year 12 friends go camping in the deep bush and when they come out their town has been invaded by an "unkown" foreign army. The series follows the groups struggles through Ellie's perspective, the hero of the book. Its great because of the details and the way its written, with a young persons tone and just overall great storytelling. I dont like our books especially set in the country, but this book was really authentic I think, and I re read it twice and still love it just as much as I did a 15 year old girl. They made a movie based on the first book but the movie was a massive flop, dont watch it, and they have made a series too but changed things in it i cant forgive so dont watch that either. Im gonna watch it just to see what else they do, but stick to the books.

  • I recommend you "The Foundation" by Isaac Asimov. One of the best books I have read.

  • Michael Mccollum -Antares dawn  

    James p. Hogan - inherit the stars

    James p. Hogan - thrice upon a time

     

  • I just finished The Mustache by Emmanuel Carrère and I recommend for you. Also its somewhat connected with Orwell - 1984 as the deleting of the past is the center of the book.

  • While it's not much of a classic, I found it to be a really interesting read.... I recommend Leah Remini's, Troublemaker. I recently read it, and if anyone's interested in the Scientology controversy and getting the inside scoop from someone who's lived it, it's definitely an enlightening read. Plus it's got some juicy celebrity bits if you're interested in that sort of thing!

  • I am into Haruki Murakami for some time now, currently reading 1Q84. It seems to be somehow connected to Orwel's book of the same title, so maybe I should have read his book first, but oh well... I love Murakami in general because he is unlike any other writer I've encountered before. He mixes fiction with reality and misticism in a strange way and is often difficult to understand - I never know if his heroes are trippin on acid / high, or are these things really happenning to them :D My favs so far are Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, and Kafka on the Shore.

  • 1Q84 is a very good book, but still The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is my favorite. 

     

    I've just read The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, and it's one of the best written books, in my opinon. It's very fluent, with a captivating narrative that doesn't let go, no matter how heavy it becomes. 

     

     

  • Yeah, I remember the The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, it was one of the better ones, for me...

     

    Wow, I'vee just read a decription / review for the Bell Jar and it sounds a bit heavy...it reminded me of
    Psychiatrists, Psychologists And Other Patients by Rodrigo Muñoz Avia. This one is also dealing with mental diseases but in a much more light-hearted and even humoristic way - the main character suffers from paraphasia (mixing of syllables, words, or even phrases, which sometimes yields hilarious results) and seeks professional help, only to discover that these psychiatrists and psychologists are, in his opinion, are even more disturbed then himself, haha. Its a short book but I enjoyed it very much!

  • Syvia Plath just has a great way with words, her poems and novels (well, short stories) are unique.

    cheesy Yeah, that sounds like a sterotypical view on psychiatrists or psychologists. Sounds like fun, will be sure to look it up. 

     

     

  • I would highly recommend the book "48 laws of power" by Robert Greene. The book helps in all public spheres of life. Like the "Sovereign" by Machiavelli

  • Last week I finished reading "Inferno", a novel by Dan Brown, and I must say it was an incredible literary piece. Plot twists made my jaw dropping to the floor, and overall the book leaves a lasting impression. Highly recommend! smiley

  • I recommend reading The Master of Illusions by Donna Tartt, It is a book written in French but I do not know if it is introduced in English.this book speaks of a modest young man who discovers the uses of easy money.

  • For a good laugh, I recomment Stephen Clarke - Merde Actually. It was so much fun reading this book.

    I have not read it yet. Will try to find it. I can recommend another book by Donna Tartt "The Goldfinch". 

    “It is with the reading of books the same as with looking at pictures; one must, without doubt, without hesitations, with assurance, admire what is beautiful.”  Vincent van Gogh

    This book is honestly just too beautiful for words. It left me feeling mesmerized and listless... All I wanted to do for the first week after finishing this book was lay around and think about The Goldfinch and its vivid settings and intricate characters.

  • I recommend to read the iconic dystopians of the twentieth century - "1984" by George Orwell and  "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley.

  • My favourite author is Agatha Christie. I recommend that almost of her novel really amazing especially Hercule Poirot episodes such as The Murder on the Orient Express, etc.

  • douglas adams and hitch-hickers guide to the galaxy series, all of them. laughed my ass of when i was a kid. too bad adams died a few years ago and well never get anymore of those books. :(

  • It Can't Happen Here is a political satire written by Sinclair Lewis, published in 1935! It's a very intense novel, and it's scary how we learned nothing from the past.  

  • I would like to recommend "The War of Art", by Steven Pressfield.

    The author talks about different forms of Resistance and how to overcome it.

    Basically, how to do your work in the best possible way, without internal and external interruptions.

  • Eiji Yoshikawa's " musashi ". read it a long time ago and have forgotten it some but it made an impact on me then. its about an japanese samurai chopping people in feudal japan. good read as i recall.

  • Was quite chuffed when Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize earlier this year - quality author, don't be fooled by Japanese name, he is in fact British and quite clearly stems from the British literary tradition. "Remains of the Day" and "Artist of the Floating World" are always good suggestions.

    Also, "Eros and Magic in Renaissance" by Ioan Cullianu is a fantastic tractate on psychology, symbolism and more, if you're into that stuff and I cannot recommend works by Bela Hamvas enough (Hungarian polyhistor and a downright amazing human being), such as "Scientia Sacra", though I reckon they are somewhat hard to obtain worldwide...

  • I've recently read A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole. I cannot belive that anyone could reject publishing this book, but that's exacly what happened. 

    This fantastic book was posthumously published, 11 years after his death ( at 31, he commited suicide). His life-story is very intriguing. 

  • I recommend my favorite science fiction book - "The End of Eternity" by Isaac Azimov.  

    It is very interesting story about time travel and social engineering. Its premise is that of a causal loop - a type of temporal paradox in which events and their causes form a loop.
