Title: WTF! BOOK!
Post by: MANGOOS on September 17, 2014, 01:29:18 PM
Hey guys!
I have some free time now and I have idea that i could read some books! I know that this isnt the place to ask this kind of things, but maybe you butthads, have read books and can suggest something. :)
I dont like like comedies, at leat movies. I like drama and adventure movies, so I think I would like these genre books. :)
So your suggestions...

Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett are a good mix of adventure and humour

If you like factual books I could name a ton. I'm not into fiction - where are the facts???

I forced myself to read some fiction years ago to try broaden my horizons but only authors I liked were Shakespeare and Graham Greene - "adventures with my aunt" I think it is by Greene is good fun.  Orwell is good but it is closer to a social commentary than anyhting just played out in fiction.

Read what you like. Pointless asking here, people will try and impress by naming books they've never read, only heard about. Most will only pick up Flex and look at the pictures. Getbig is all about being pretentious.

Pick your favourite genre and get onto Amazon.
