What book should I read next? 22 year old male?
I just got done re-reading Ender’s Game (one of my childhood favorites!) after getting a Kindle for Christmas. I also just read The Strain, the book by Guillermo Del Toro, which actually just released book II. I am a huge fan of history, spy (Bourne Identity-like movies), travel, and light Sci-fi. What have you guys been reading?
Authors I like:
Stephen Ambrose (Band of Brothers)
Michael Crichton (Prey was awesome! Only book I have read by him)
Ken Follett (Jackdaws)
Guillermo Del Toro (The Strain)
Try the Incomplete Enchanter for a touch of historical fantasy,
Try some books by Turtledove for history, alternate, (can be a bit dry)
My favorite writers are Pratchett (fantasy never his SF, but his Tiffany Aching (wee free men) books are a wonder.
And Bujold (Miles v. saga, Sharing knife 4 books, a few others)
If you have not read Mccaffery’s DragonSinger/Song/etc series, do so.
Black Beauty, Screwtape letters, Zenna Henderson’s books, A collection of short SF called Analog 6,
LOTR, Narnia, The stars my destination, Black Easter, “Surely you must be joking, Mr Feynmann”, Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance, The true game series by sheri tepper, Sharon McCrumb’s mystery and spooly Ballad series, Elizabeth Moon’s Deed of Paksenarrion and her speed of dark and her reminant population, and Most of Mercedes Lackey’s work, and Sherlock holmes and the SF Hall of fame book collection, and Stranger in a strange land, and The moon is a harsh mistress.
The little prince
Lies My Teacher Told Me by Loewen (history)
I am just cherry picking the real good ones for you.
I have similar interests, a room full of books, mostly SF&Fantasy,
The above was just a fast riff through the best, and not all SF&F anyway.
