best book I re-read it like 6 times
its short and its absolutely nothing like the movie
if you are looking in to some longer series
then The Dark Tower is quite good
especially book #2 is one of the most thrilling stuff I ever read, the characters are great and story floats ...

Celine's book titled:

It's not a book, but it's beautifully written

Daily reminder that if you read tween fiction (read: Hunger Games) you are an irredeemable faggot sucking barely legible drivel from a washed up middle aged whore with all the same tropes and archetypes of a coloring book

i liked the books but they werent special at all
The lies of Locke Lamora. A great story of fantasy and intrigue. Not medieval, but more like a renaissance Venice.
Prince of Thorns saga.
And if you want it hardcore, Anathem, from Neal Stephenson. It's difficult to read, but it's great.
>>678718291
oh god, you're a giant faggot
If you're under 20 - yeah, read Stephen fucking King. Otherwise search for a recommendation elsewhere, not here at 9gag.

>>678719549
Thirded. Fantastic book.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Music, magic, and some great storytelling to boot.

Omg catcher in the rye totally captures me xDDD

In The Martians case yes. It explains some interesting science in a manner that lay people would follow.

For a little perspective, try poetry, like Ozymandius by Shelley, or Invictus by Henley.
A short work by Smedley Butler called War is a Racket will prepare you to understand WWII.

It's from the second part movie. Difference cast, same shit writing.
No budget is big enough to make Rand's writing good.
>>678716182
In order:
Ender's Game series
The Catcher in the Rye
Beyond Good and Evil
The Republic
The Name of the Wind. Best fantasy book ever written.
If you've got an hour or two to kill I recommend Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. It's the book Bladerunner is based on.
any cormac mccarthy fans in here? im fanatical for his stuff
>>678721527
Could you give a brief summary about what happened at the end, the whole King inserting himself to the story as hand of god sounds pretty pretentious tbh.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
>>678721903
I kekked. Maybe I should roll one?
>>678719549
Also suggesting Name of the Wind as well. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it, you'll be so enthralled with it by page 1.
I'd highly suggest it as well if you're into fantasy/fiction stories with magic and what not.
>TFW I had to look up words in the dictionary when reading The Name of the Wind
The book made me realize how shitty my vocabulary is because a lot of the words Rothfuss uses isn't really words we use in everyday language, it will increase your vocabulary though which I found was nice. Now I can use complex words in everyday conversation to seem superior and far more intelligent compared to others, it's great.
TL;DR Read the fucking book it's amazing
>>678718864
I was gonna recommend this. Fantastic read and the sequel is pretty good too
>>678721900
book 4 is a brief history of the main gunslinger as a youth, with his pals, at odds with local bounty hunters in a village supporting a warring faction. he falls in love with total waifu-tier teenbabe, outsmarts the fucking shit out of the village thugs and becomes a hardened take no shit, heartless motherfucking badass by the end.
book 5, let's hang out in a villaga assaulted by Doctor Doom mask wearing robots who use lightsabers and throw golden snitch grenades from Harry Potter (no i'm not exaggerating). Let's toss calahan in there so that something actually interesting happens. the end
book 6, read 2x now, cant think of a single thing that happens besides susanna giving birth maybe? or is that in book 7? literally cant remember
book 7, everyone dies: let's rescue patrick from Insomnia who defeats satan in a dumb yet very stephen king way, the circle completes itself only this time something has changed. the end.
The catcher in the rye, The Great Gatsy, 1984 by Orwell, Clockwork Orange etc.
read some classics and if you've read all those then i can recommend more

>>678722882
You're in a very small demographic anon, but everyone has different taste in literature.
May I ask what exactly you didn't like about it? Or should I ask did you even read it? I've noticed a lot of people say a book is shit and yet they've never read it themselves.

Eh I understand if you didn't like Kvothe but the rest of the story was pretty good, there were times were the mary sueness of the MC was kind of annoying but for the most part I didn't think it took away much from the story.

You gotta remember even King says the high tower series isn't complete, it wasn't even supposed to be a series because he still isn't sure this is the way he wants the story to go.
>>678723328
honestly, give it a shot if you have a few months to set aside, everyones opinion is different. just be aware of a drop in quality.
it made me revisit a ton of King books looking for connections though, which adds another layer of depth. even IT, is Bev of the lineage of Eld? Did Gan influence the Loser's Club directly? obviously they're all in line with Ka, but did the crimson king have any influence?
the larger universe it builds is more impressive than it's platform, but 1-4 are great reads

>>678720204
Survivor is the best out of all these, it goes a bit fantasyish, but it's well written and good plot. Haunted is alright if just taken as short stories, without all the waffle inbetween. Fight club is good too, but obviously if you've seen the movie its not the same.
>>678717928
And anyone else recommending Stormlight: is the writing is boring as in Mistborn? That series had a good story, but jesus, it's written like a fucking wikipedia article.
Blood Meridian, gnarliest book

which is your favourite/best book in the series?
>>678724095
It's better than mistborn.
It's still slow to start, but you actually care about the characters so you don't even mind. The second half gets hype as fuck and then the second book takes it up another level. Seriously worth the read.

It's not scary, it's disturbing and thought provoking. I fucking love it!mreminds me of battle royale, if you've seen it (think a more adult and horrifying version of hunger games)
