i need a good book to read any suggestions?

Question

im not a a big fan of books my first book was a bit of a wrong choice it was notes from underground by destoyevsky and i didnt get anything he wrote o need something nice not romantic something that will enlighten you about life or things around you some thing with a meaning . and if u have any scince fiction stuff write it down i love stuff with magic.

Answer 1

Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk.



Best book ever. I've recommended it to many people and they all loved it. Eventually word got around and my entire senior class was reading it.

Answer 2

Awesome books for enlightenment and real-life "magic" are:



By Jane Roberts:

"Seth Speaks"

"The Nature of Personal Reality"

"The Unknown Reality," Volumes 1 and 2

Any of her other books if the above titles appeal to you;



By Neale Donald Walsch:

"Conversations with God," books 1,2,and 3

"Home with God: In a Life that Never Ends"

"Friendship with God"



By Deepak Chopra:

"The Book of Secrets"



Along with some very profound and challenging ideas, I like that these books don't push any specific religious agenda; they are spiritual in a very ecumenical sense. Also, if you like Jane Roberts' work, there's some very interesting video of her on youtube, I think the only filmed interview with her, from the early 1970's. I've read all of the above titles within the last year, and have become a fan of each author. Walsch's books are probably the "easiest" reads among these three authors.

Answer 3

"The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis, is about 140 pages.



"The Path of the Higher Self," Mark Prophet.



"The Overachievers," Alexandra Robbins.



"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck.



"The Little Prince," Saint Exupery.



"A Wrinkle in Time" series, Madeline L'Engle.



"The Neverending Story," Michael Ende.



"The True Story of the Bilderberg Group," Daniel Estulin.



"Above Black," Dan Sherman, http://www.aboveblack.com



"The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, http://www.divinecosmos.com



"Freakonomics," Levitt.



"Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians," Brandon Sanderson.



"Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton.



"Testimony of Light," Helen Greaves.

Answer 4

The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory



Ghost Boy by Ian Lawrence



The Vampire Diaires by L.J. Smith



Children of the River by Linda Crew



Uglies saga by Scott Westerfeld



Naughts & Crosses series by Malorie Blackman

Answer 5

Depends on your taste in literature. A good non-fiction book is Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom. A good fantasy book that's not too scary (it's about vampires) is the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. A good romance book is A Walk To Remember by Nicholas Sparks. And a good Christian book

(about missionaries) is Escape From Kabul by Eberhard Muehlan.

Answer 6

A fascinating biography that is getting a lot of attention is "Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist" by Bradley Steffens. It tells the inspiring, true story of a medieval Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of mental illness to develop the scientific method two hundred years before the Europeans learned of it—by reading his books. It was just chosen by California Readers to be part of the 2008 California Collection. You can find reviews of the book and a sample chapter at http://www.ibnalhaytham.net/

Answer 7

Timeline by Michael Crichton

When the Wind Blows & Lake House by James Patterson

Answer 8

Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.



So far, everyone I've talked to who has read it liked it. It's an interesting story with clever writing that's often humorous. The style is light-hearted, but it's the kind of book that stays with you for a while after you read it.

Answer 9

I always love the classics and contemporary and latin american novels:

One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Love in the Time of Cholera (same author)

House of the Spirit and Eva Luna by Isabelle Allende

Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway

all works of Paolo Coelho

Phantom of the Opera

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

works of Mitch Albom (Five People you Meet in Heaven and Tuesdays with Morrie)

The Little Prince

Answer 10

Hmm... I assume you are 22 - 23 since you have 85 in your name. now it would be easier if Id know your sex.

I love deep going books like Waris Dirii - Desert Flower, or Dave Pelzer - The lost boy series... However, the Twilight Series by Stephanie Meyer is fun to read and not as heavy material as the other two... I could also suggest the Neverending Story by Michael Eden with is just totaly fun to read.

Answer 11

Then you should read Terry McGarry. Her Eiden Myr stories. Its start with Illumination, then Binders Road and last Triad. It is about a whole different world an a magical society. Really good. I couldn't put it down.

Answer 12

How about Walk Two Moons (Dont Judge a Man Until You Have Walked Two Moons In His Mocasins)

Answer 13

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PerfectBooks/ This website lists tons of great books and authors. My personal favorites are all of Meg Cabot's books as well as Sophie Kinsellas' Shopaholic series.

Answer 14

One thing you should bear in mind while reading books is to have an interest in it. As they say when in Rome behave as the Romans do.While reading a work of fiction do not have any background music in mind that perhaps you are perhaps wasting your time. Diversion is also a requirement of human mind.



I reproduce the first page of the relevant website containing 10 entries. There are many more pages ahead containing information about more books. Hope this helps you finding a book that would interest you. Enjoy reading.
