Fiction or non-fiction, though I personally prefer fiction.Wow thats a huge question. What area do you want to read? I assume fiction to start with.
Whats your previous reading? or are you just asking what kind of books do we like best?
I went ahead and reserved Ender's Game and Wizard's First Rule.If you've never read Ender's Game or Ender's Shadow, those are two of my absolute favorites. In truth, anything by Orson Scott Card is bound to be great, especially the Shadow series (Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hedgemon, Shadow of the Giant). I'd also recommend Terry Goodkind's books, staring with Wizard's First Rule.
I had to read Crime and Punishment in high school. While I enjoyed what Dostoevsky accomplished in the work, I remember it being very difficult to read through as it seemed very dry and depressing. Of course, having studied an overview of Russian history, I can see why works from any Russian author would be depressing.What about some of the classics. My favs are the Russians such as Fyodor Dostoevsky and Tolstoy (note that both were Christians - with differing degrees of sucecss- and it is interesting to note their different views of faith that come through their writting.
Heh, sounds like the Dune series.Oh and a little know book but one that is an absolute must is "The man that was Thrusday" By GK Chesterton. The first 3/4 of the book is excellent fiction then it devolves into a theology book which is good but with a fiction twist that makes it quite bizzar.
Anything in particular? I'm hoping to get the "best of" or "most important work of" any author I check out.Finally, anything and everything by Oscar Wilde is a must in my opinion (how good is the importance of being earnest)
