Looking for a good read...

[Ravster]

So yeah, looking for something different this time. Not Harry Potter/LOTR type books, but something unusual.

Mix of thriller, fantasy, adventure.......I know its highly unlikely that theres a book with all these elements done together well, but if you guys know of any, then post the titles here.

Try a book shop, they should have something good.

[Ravster]

Yeah course, never thought of that (!)

[Ihsiin]

Glad to be of service.

The original Conan books by Robert E. Howard
Thieves World series
Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, some very OLD and great old school fanatsy that is funny as hell.

MATTHEW REILLY!

Hes an Aussie author who writes the only books ive ever read on my own accord. They are litterally non-stop action the whole way through.

Im a really slow reader. I cant stress this enough. But I read 90% of his newest book 'Seven Ancient Wonders' in 2 days, which for me is a huge feat. I highly reccommend that.

Also, Ice Station, Temple, and Contest are my other 3 favorites of his, but every other one he's done is 10/10. (I can only remember Scarcrow, Area 7 and Hover Car Racer, i think thats all of them).

The website doesnt really do it for me, unlike his books. Just go buy em all. Youll only regret it if your a loser. Are you a loser?

hahaha, i was just going to reccomend them..... i've read all of them except the seven wonders one, and they really are hard to put down... Go with the scarecrow series is my suggestion, ice station, scarecrow and area 7 i think are the three? very good books.

clive barker writes good horror novels.

Jeffrey Deaver's books are awesome, if you liked the film Bone Collector the Books are better

try Coffin Dancer, Stone Monkey, Vanished Man or Bone Collector

also Clockwork Orange and Orwell's 1984

[Negativity]

Read the "Like Mike" script.

The IMDB page. (www.imdb.com/title/tt0308506/)
Pretty much the true Bible. (http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/l/like-mike-script-transcript-bow-wow.html)

[Ravster]

I'm gonna go with Crow's recommendation on J.Deavers books after finding out what each author is known for.

[Crow]

they are good, plus Viper recommended them to me so its a must

If you are a fan of pretention: House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski.

But you really have to be dedicated.

Last few times I read it I've sat at the computer with Google and Wikipedia at the ready.. I've made pages and pages of notes.

I slept with the light on.

The Wheel of Time Series, fantasy, but not typical, very diffrent

seriously... these books are amazing... read them!

[Unspoken]

Try some Brian Jacques. He wrote the Redwall series, including the books "Redwall," "Pearls of Lutra," and "Taggerung," all really good reads. There's more in the series, but those are the flagship ones in my opinion.

omg! i just found these books and gave them to someone to read

what a coincidence!

i read them a long time ago, when i was younger

i dont read novels now though, it involves way too much patience

[FoeHammer]

Howsabout Playboy?
Just kidding.
The Vagina Monalogues.
But not really.
Maybe Goosebumps.

[Ravster]

^You worthless POS.



Only just noticed this thread. I will most definitely check out The Wheel of Time Series after I'm done with J.Deavers Cold Moon.

And Cubist, that book sounds interesting, will try a read on that most likely in the summer.
