Recommend-A-Book
Eseuldor:
Not reading through 14 pages to see if it was listed but, I recommend the entirey of W.E.B. Griffin' The Corps series. There a really awesome read.
eme13:
The Story of the Eye by Georges Bataille - kind of... a porn book, but it taught me a lot about life, and about people's desires
The Alchemist - Magical Realism (well, my definition anyways) and has interesting lessons that can be applied to life
The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis - an interesting conjecture about what heaven and hell are like
Lutador:
Books from the Black Library.
Specifically The Horus Heresy.
They`re awesome.
It`s science fiction in case you didn't know.
Link to sample extract from Horus Rising, the first book in the series
deathman:
Read the Holy Bible ;D ;D(despite the fact that i am joking i have read all of it...)
All of Tolkien's books( not cristopher's JR's)
I disagree with The Dark Tower series....dont know did not like it
Most of other Stephen King's works are masterworks especially ''It''
Neil Gaiman is good not to say pretty good
Clive Barker is good
Fritz Leiber's books were some of them good
Salvatore is mediocre

I enjoyed Leiber's stuff when I was younger, but I've only read his Fahfrd & the Grey Mouser stories.
Salvatore is definitely overrated IMO. The original Dark Elf Trilogy was good, but his other work was uneven at best. I remember starting The DemonWars Saga like 6 years ago or so, and got maybe 50 pages into it before I dropped it -- it was horribly cliche, even for a D&D-style novel. I think of Salvatore as one of those authors who's great to read if you're 14 years old and just getting interested in fantasy.
