ERMEGERD BERKS! Like scifi? A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge (probably the best book I've ever read. Not exactly light reading, but this is good shit. If you can handle it, it will not dissapoint.) Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (because it's a classic. Though not the best on this list.) Like Fantasy? Jhereg by Steven Brust (This could have also gone in the comedy section, cause it's funny as hell. Right up there next to "A Fire" in terms of how good I think it is. It's one of a series. You could also start with Teckla--chronologically first--but this one was the first to be written, so you won't miss anything.) Everlost by Neal Shusterman (it's about a strange world between life and death peopled by dead children and things destroyed. Its for kids, but it ain't no kiddie book) Like sex? (I meant in your literature. And assuming you aren't looking for women's reading porn like 50 shades) The Game by Neil Strauss (Memoir. Man sets out to learn how to seduce women. Suceeds. All hell breaks loose. Good book.) Like to laugh? Discworld by Terry Pratchett (especially if you also like fantasy. Lots of great satire. Start with Colour of Magic) Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglass Adams (especially if you also like scifi. Lots of great satire.) Madhouse by Rob Thurman (narrated in first person smart-ass. It's 3rd in a series, but everything gets explained well enough. Besides, the first two books are a bit emo, and not all the fun charachters are introduced yet in those. If you like it, read Roadkill next, then go back and consider reading the others) Bartimaeous Trilogy by Johnathan Stroud (Sit through Nathaniel's chapters, and just wait for the snarky narcissistic demon.)
Shantaram a novel by Gregory David Roberts...really good book. Shantaram is a 2003 novel by Gregory David Roberts, in which a convicted Australian bank robber and heroin addict who escaped from Pentridge Prison flees to India. The novel is commended by many for its vivid portrayal of tumultuous life in Bombay. Also The Passage by Justin Cronin....omg I love that book. The Passage begins in the near future and details an apocalyptic and, later, post-apocalyptic world that is overrun by vampire-like beings who are infected by a highly contagious virus. What begins as a project to develop a new immunity-boosting drug based on a virus carried by an unnamed species of bat in South America eventually becomes the virus that transforms the world. The novel begins in 2014 and spans more than ninety years, as colonies of humans attempt to live in a world filled with superhuman creatures who are continually on the hunt for fresh blood.
Good decision man reading is the shit. If you're a Motley Crüe fan, without a shadow of a doubt pick up "The Dirt" and Nikki Sixx "Heroin Diaries". 2 fucking amazing books.
Try reading the Book of Revelation while listening to Black Sabbath's Master of Reality and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Could change your life.
