What are some good books to read?
| Nightmare, and my favorite LN is Spice and Wolf
| Whatcha looking for, fiction or-
No wait, if you haven't read in a long time you should probably just read fiction.
Cyberpunk literature tend to have ridic vocab so don't start there. If you like urban-ish fantasy, Neil Gaiman is great and mostly accessible. If you like DnD fantasy Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind series is a fun read
| Def Terry Pratchett, for example start with Rincewind
| If you like fun historical fiction, Seth Grahame-Smith (of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunters fame) is glorious.
If you want actual history, the only enjoyable read I've got is Ian Morris's Why the West Rules, but that's just cause I haven't read a lot of non-fiction for fun. It's a good book though
| Das Kapital by Karl Marx.
an actual answer any science fiction book by Asimov
| Neuromancer
| >>191557 actually, what made me start this thread was thinking about Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, I really enhoyed it and wondered if there was more. I don't even know where I got the book from, but it's on my shelf.
Thanks for the replies, I'm gonna stick to fiction because I've never been too interested in nonfiction stuff, but who knows. Also do you guys recommend buying an e-reader or whatever they're called? I normally just used the library before I stopped.
| Neverwhere by Neil Gaimna, loved it.Currently reading Battle Royale by Takami
| 1984. An old classic that's only gotten more relevant in times of the amazon echo botnet.
| Permutation City by Greg Egan
Crystal Nights by Greg Egan http://ttapress.com/553/crystal-nights-by-greg-egan/
The lifecycle of software objects by Ted Chiang
The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson
The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi
| the red knight by miles cameron
| Hermann Hesse's novels
easy to read + thought-provoking, gay innuendo muah, start with demian
| 1Q84. By Haruki Murakami. It is a big book but you will not be disapointed OP.
| Deltora Quest!
| Deltora Quest!
| Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions
| A monster Calls
| Walk On Two Moons
| >>192430 Haruki Murakami writes good stories but they have lots of weird sex, which may or may not appeal to you
| >>192238
His other books are great too. I highly suggest Anansi Boys, and if you're good with more dose of weird, American Gods too. Coraline and The Graveyard Book are for children primarily, but they're ace too
If you can use the library, use the library! At least, the atmosphere of physical space would be good for you.
| I'd recommend the timeless classic, the three little pigs
| My favorite piece of literature out there is Duma's Count Of Monte Cristo. I like merciless vengeance.

| I think I saw a thread about cyberpunk books or something recently but lost track of it. But just in general, what are some good books that I should try to read? I haven't actually read things since middle school, and it kinda sucks.
