Looking for some book recommendations!?

Question

I really like Steven King novels but have only read The Shining, Misery, IT and Carrie so any of his novels would be good. I also recently read Chocolat, To Kill A Mockingbird, A Clockwork Orange, Battle Royal and Watership Down so i like a lot of different things. Any books you recently read that you would recommend?

Answer 1

Check out Karin Slaughter - especially Tryptych. A supberb book.

I also love Agatha Christie, older Patricia Cornwell, PJ Tracy (for crime).

For fantasy, try Darren Shan. Easy reads but kind of compelling.

Answer 2

dreamcatcher (stephen king, way better than the movie)

tic toc dean koontz. if you like stephen king youll like dean koontz.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, but particularly Cat's Cradle, Breakfast of Champions, and Slapstick.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte and Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte are also classics that have a touch of mysticism to them.

Answer 5

If you're a Stephen King fan, you need to read the Dark Tower series.  It's a total of seven books; the first book is The Gunslinger.  The Dark Tower is King's best work, it's taken him over 35 years to write.  The world of the Dark Tower also can be found in many of King's works; it can be fun to read the Tower series then read the other King books to see how he tied them together.  IT is one of those books; I would also highly recommend reading King's The Stand.

Non-King books- I just read Cormac McCarthy's The Road and Khaled Hosseini's books The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns.  All good books.
