Recommend-A-Book
Micharus:
Hmm books to recommend....
Virtually anything written by Terry Pratchet, in particular any book that has Granny Weatherwax (a witch) and her friends in it OR Samuel Vimes ( a police mans police man). Recently read "Night Watch", a very good read.
The Redemption of Althalus, by David & Leigh Eddings.
Althalus, a burglar and occasional armed robber, is tricked into working for a goddess who likes to disguise herself as a cat, in order to retrieve a "book". A nice fantasy work of just over 900 pages.
The Foundation Series, by Isaac Asimov.
Heavy duty sci-fi, with robots, space travel, revolutions, wars and so on. Something for everyone, but it does take some reading, be warned.

SO im finishing reading yet another book and I really havent found my "next target" and i want to get back into reading again >.<
Why dont we get some recommendations in here aye? name,author and why is it good . . .keep it on 3 max.
Lemme start:
I, Lucifer by glenn ducan: Im finishing reading this one and god i love it! Its a self-written version that lucifer made about himself when he was in the "material world" since he made a deal with god that if he could live 1 month in a humans body being a good boy he could return b ack into heaven *obviously he had no intention* but its really funny, since Lucifer has never been into the material realm (other then as an animal) so he gets to learn what is like to be a human.
Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown (take it as fiction if youre a religious person): The story is quite catchy and it really hooks you into the story, it has a nice narration and the way that guy changes "scenes" it pisses me off so i have to keep reading >.< like most things in life the ending sux
Queen of the south by arturo perez: Its pretty interesting story about a woman who had no choice (i mean literally NO CHOICE) but to join the mob and drug dealing business. its really good and keeps you hooked also.

Horrible books. All fluff.
In response to Lucifer by glenn ducan, read The screwtape letters by c.s lewis. Demon telling aspiring demon how to steal souls.
In response to Da vanci code by dan brown, burn it. You want political fiction with strong religious overtones? Look outside. Research!
& last but not least Queen of the south by arturo perez. Nobody is forced into anything. There is always a choice. A or B. Past that? Just A. Dig deep for Reasons to live by Amy hempel. Tragedy upon tragedy from the harshest voice.
forevr:
The new Wheel of Time is out.
Reading that one atm and I must say that I think it's the best one in a very long time so far (about 400 pages in).
Xyresic:
The Count of Monte Cristo
The "Young Wizards series"
