few questions
#1, what genre?
#2, what reading lvl?
#3 hmmm nah that was it

[logolas9*]

hhhmmmm any genre but i like historical books and it also doesnt matter reading lvl i love a challenge.

[roalath]

Hmmm any genre...

Anything by Tom Clancy
Terry Brooks's Shanarra series'
Piers Anthony's Xanth books
Richard Marcincko's Rogue Warrior (1st one is autobiographical, rest are novels)
Bill O'Reilly- Culture Warrior
Everything by James Clavell (loved every one of them)
David and Leigh Eddings- Belgariad series (5 books), Mallorean series (5 books following the Belgariad), Elenium series (3 books, unrelated to Belgariad and Mallorean) and the Tamuli series (3 books, following Elenium)

Hmmm... those should get you started anyway... Could offer more suggestions if I knew what you were most interested in. The above are just a few on the shelves at the Ro-Tracyish house. We got tons, though, and bookshelves from floor to ceiling all over the house. So, you want more suggestions at some point, let us know...*grins*

[logolas9*]

Tracy, when did you teach this guy how to read??? Nice job!!!

[logolas9*]

Bill O'Reilly- Culture Warrior



sounds good

[roalath]

Heh, it's one of the things she really digs about me... Now if she can just get me house trained...

[logolas9*]

its gona be hard but the question is is it worth it??

[Tracyish]

Tracy, when did you teach this guy how to read??? Nice job!!!

OMG......:hi5
I nearly wet myself laughting so hard at this!

Anyway, if you like history, one really cool series is the Peirs Anthony Geodyssey books.

Isle of Woman
Shame of Man
Hope of Earth
There is another one I think, but I have yet to get that one. I am runnung out of room on the books shelves.... time to make Roalath build some more. LOL

[logolas9*]

lol thanks

[Jarek Drago0]

Rober Jordan Wheel of Time series, if you like Science Fantasy.
Louis L'Amour (spelling folks?) Westerns, have a suprising bit of history in them. The Belgariad series Ro mentioned are great also. Not being nosy but what is you age? Helps before I suggest some books that might be inappropriate.

[Blitz_Kreig]

The redwall series, I first read them all in 5th grade, but I read them often now if I want a good book. It sounds dumb :p but its about woodland creatures fighting off sea-rat tyrants..great series, I'd start with "Redwall" by Brian Jacques, only about 400 page books, decently hard reading level and the feasts are amazing..I get so hungry when I read, theres about 15 of them and Iv'e read each about 10 times, great books :)

[red slade]

dragonlance, margaret weiss and tracy hickman
same author but the death gate cycle is good too.
robert jordan, wheel of time series
the pandora project by david ward is good if you like spy novels

[Xtoxm]

if you like history stuff, i used to read "horrible history" book when i was younger, by terry deary

[Rivaldo 99]

Everything that James Patterson has written.
Amazing criminal stories.

[Inncomendatu]

Piers Anthony's Xanth series, excellent fantasy novels, well written, always interesting and encourages deducing on your own part.

[tiger_silly]

ahhhhh reading all the suggestions these are my people :P (i've read every single one of them)

and Definetly do the books Tracy suggested if you like history :)

I also like Asimov's Foundation series oh and a must is to read Douglas Adams!!
I'll think of more later

[roalath]

If you like Asimov and Heinlein, Robert Silverberg is another who is phenomenal. I don't have any of his books currently and haven't read them in a long time (about 15 years or so), but he is a class act.

[eyed0c]

Anyway, if you like history, one really cool series is the Piers Anthony Geodyssey books.
Isle of W oman
Shame of Man
Hope of Earth

Muse of Art :)

This series is amazing - sort of fictional anthropology.

Kurt Vonnegut also writes some AMAZING books. I've read:
Breakfast of Champions
Gallapagos
Slaughterhouse Five

all great! :)

[red slade]

slaughterhouse five? didnt that used to be a game?
i think dude weilding a chainsaw or something.

[eyed0c]

No idea about any game... but most definitely is a very good book...

[tiger_silly]

slaughterhouse five is an awesome book!!


ooo some other good ones: Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. 1984 by Orwell, Brave New World by Huxley

[N00binnmikli]

err... u let ur mom make u read? :S

[roalath]

Heh, it's not a matter of making her read... Many are the times I've gone in to check on her during the night and found her still up reading... or passed smooth out with a book still in hand. Gotta say, though, she comes by it honestly.

[Hey Batter]

One time K.C. (sftbllgrl3) was picking on me cuz i really liked the Warriors books by Erin Hunter and they're about wildcats, then my mom asked her what her book was about... She turned bright red and I just barely heard her say "woodland critters." lol

[roalath]

Ahhh, that was the Redwall series she was reading... if I remember correctly...*L* She does turn pretty colors, doesn't she? Actually, she just got the newest of the Redwall series yesterday...

[sftbllgrl3]

It's not the newest... but the author's name is Brian Jacques if you wnat to look the books up.The Pendragon series is a good one too, they are by D.J. MacHale.Inkheart and Inkspell are awesome!They are by Cornelia Funk.A series of unfortunate events is good, although just about everybody hads read them, they are by Lemony Snicket.The little house on the prairie series is good, they are by Laura Ingalls Wilder.The Mitford series by Jan Karen are awesome!The Artemis Fowl books by Eoin Colfer rock!The grey griffins books by J.S Lewis and Derek Benz are good too. Just about anything by Louis or Lois Sachar(I do not know how to spell his name)are good too.Anything by Jack London, James and Deborah Howe, and Christopher Paolini are amazing also.=) That enough for teh rest of teh summer?

[sarm333221]

See Spot Run. My fave all time. :bob

[uncannybabe]

Why am I not surprised?

[Dtzzy]

See Spot Run. My fave all time. :bob


Shouldn't it be " HOP ON POP?" *G*

[Worth Mayhem]

Ill agree with Tom clancy, classics like the hit for red october or something newer like rainbow six... u said u like history, his books have alot to do with military things.

[Jessealot]

I read Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat in ISS (In-school suspension) last year. Greatest book I've read so far.

I was sort of historical because it was set in like the 1950s or 60s. I dunno. It was like an autobiographical documentary thing.

I liked it.

[logolas9*]

thanks

[yaba777]

My favorite books that i have read are The Harry Potter series (just finished the last today :bob), Artemis Fowl, Eragon, and The Lightning Thief

[Haha Zero]

Yes the Wheel of Time by Robert Jorden has been mentioned, excellent books
The Sword of Truth is also good by Terry Goodkind. kinda like WOT but less intense.
Also The DragonLord Series by Joanne Bertin, the land ruledish by Weredragons
The RuneLords by David Farland, people can add attributes like glamor and wit to their lords in times of war.
And for the comical books you cant beat ALL the books by James Alan Gardner

[chazm_13]

kool =p

[logolas9*]

thanks for all the help everyone

[roalath]

Picked up a good non-fiction book not long ago, if you're into the genre it's a great one... It's called Blue Blood by Edward Conlan. He's a working class guy, Irish heritage, native New Yorker... educated at Harvard, he's a cop in the City. If you like real-life kinda cop stories, none of the Hollywood, Miami Vice/CSI or crap like that, then this might be for you.

Back to the military genre, Orr Kelly's book Never Fight Fair!, Chuck Pfarrer's book Warrior Soul and the book First Seal by Roy Boehm are all fantastic first person accounts of the U.S. Navy SEALs. There is a new one out from a SEAL who was in Afghanistan recently, but I cannot at the moment recall the name or the author. I recently heard an interview with the fellow on the radio and will try to find it out and relay it to you.

[faramir_001]

only just read but try ice station by matthew riley. and then the next in the series and the next.... o and every other book by him like seven ancient wonders of the world. both are fast pace action books and there all written by matthew. who is an australian kick **** (word i can't say) author. then try some bryce courtney who is different altogether. he writes about racism and subjects to do with that. try the power of one its pretty good, or jessica or even the potatoe factory.
