Can you recommend a book that you absolutely loved, and think everyone should read? ?

Question

I'm looking for fiction, or at least very entertaining books. Please don't suggest the bible- I've already read that.

Answer 1

I'm not sure how old you are... But even as an easy read, I really enjoyed "Notes from the Teenage Underground".  Also Hairstyles of the Damned, Crank, Burned, The Burn Journals, and Candy.

Answer 2

Alvaro Mutis: "The Adventures and Misadventures of Maqroll."

This mostly unknown book, except that it is known, loved, and respected mostly by readers of serious fiction, is one of the best I have ever read. It's the epic story of the lifetime of El Gaviero, the Watchman, a man of many careers, travels, and friends.

Also…

The Street lawyer" by John Grishom or anything by him.

The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

ENDER'S GAME, by Orson Scott Card.

Stephen King’s…The Stand, Needful Things also, Our Man in Havana are really good.

Books by Ken Follett include:

A Dangerous Fortune

Eye of the Needle

World Without End

A Place Called Freedom

Jackdaws

The Key to Rebecca

. . . and many others; he is quite the writer!

Other authors to explore:

Tom Clancy

Robert Ludlam

Alex Kava

Chris Bohjalian

Sarah Dunant

Kate Morton

Lawrence Goldstone

Ian Mcewan
