I'd recommend a little author named R.L. Stine, although they're pretty scary books so I'd recommend reading them in the morning

Star Wars novelizations (no unauthorized extended universe please) and Magic: The Gathering novels (based on the collectible card game) are also entertaining.

I just finished Spike Milligan's war memoir series they are really funny and made a good counterpoint to the rather depressing books I've been reading lately

If you're up for a long read, Vikram Seth's "A Suitable Boy" is quite good and gives a really good view into post Gandhi India

This is the best one ever written (not a weeaboo): http://www.amazon.com/Palm---Hand-Stories-FSG-Classics/dp/0374530491/ (The Man Who Didn't Smile, which is a story in here, is so good that I don't think a better short story will possibly ever be written) This is the best one written in the last 25 or so years: http://www.amazon.com/Jesus-Son-Stories-Denis-Johnson/dp/031242874X/ This is the most influential one as far as literature goes: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Short-Stories-Ernest-Hemingway/dp/0684843323/ This is one that people forget about and then remember and go "geez that was really good", also has a sick rear end title: http://www.amazon.com/Will-Please-Quiet-Vintage-Contemporaries-ebook/dp/B00XST7M42/ This is one that you should read after you get home from a trip or before you're going to go on a trip from a still living author: http://www.amazon.com/Atlas-William-T-Vollmann/dp/0140254498/ This is a link to World of Gor - Whipcrack for all the goofs who will come in here pretending they have an actual good scifi/fantasy book to recommend other than Neuromancer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45lXXiLbTxM raton fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Jul 10, 2015 |

My dad had like, the entire contents of a borders and a Barnes and noble in our house at any one time. We had a long hallway in the house that was all bookshelves it was kind of spooky. Could never keep all the bad sci fi fantasy plots separate in my head and I'd forget which one was robot pirates and which was the plucky elf murder squad and which was a magic wizard loner who lives on the edge and plays by his own rules

Tim Powers writes about ancient egyptian wizards time-traveling into victorian London and battling with hobo-wizard-clowns and also did you know that the 'Mother Russia' the soviets were always on about was actually an ancient djinn that was later installed into the Berlin Wall? Also fat people are always the bad guys. Tim Powers owns.
