Ik most you fuckers don't know how to read but ever since I've learned I've been really into it. Drop your recommendations, I'm looking for new content.
 
My side of the mountain is one of my favorite kids books tbh.

Red Notice is a great biography rly interesting learning about russian finance

Anything written by John Le Care is amazing

A Devil in the White City is another amazing non fiction book as well as In the Garden of Beast both by Erik Larson

In addition any Hemingway Book, compilation or short story is amazing. Old man and the Sea is a 10/10
 
The Count of Monte Cristo is probably my favorite book. I read it in seventh grade. It's over 1200 pages long in the best way possible and it's a very intricate and intriguing story. That or Big Nate.

Also history is super interesting.

I'm currently reading The Door to December by Dean Koontz. It's quite the F'd up story. It's good.

In high school I had to read Alicia my Story by Alicia Appleman-Jurman for Holocaust unit. It was so good I bought my own copy. I brought it with me a few years to my parents place and left it there telling Mom I will get my book on my next trip. She gave it away! I promptly bought another copy to replace it

If you like crime/mystery stuff John Sanford's Virgil Flowers series is good.

I always read an actual paper book right before bed. It relaxes me and helps me fall asleep quickly.
 
Found this in an antique store for a couple bucks. Not too bad actually. The language style and phrases in old books is interesting.

My grandma got me into western books through an author named Louie Lamour, super rad guy who is great at writing western novels, most are short 500 pages or less, but super good and he has some longer ones. Im working on my 60-something of his 250 books and cant stop. IF you haven't read the da Vinci code, as soon as I picked it up I read the whole thing in a week. The Jurassic park books are real good. Reading is where its at, stoked to have gotten back into it. Im gonna try and get into some old stuff soon like pre 1800s but they talked nuts back then. Read some books ya scum bags!

Red Notice was outstanding.
 
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Anything by Primo Levi but especially The Monkey’s Wrench. Morgan’s Run by Colleen McCullough for an epic page turner.
 
anything by Jon Krakauer

Also I just finished 'they can't hide us anymore', a biography by Richie Havens (google him)- I'd highly recommend both that book and his music. amazing read.

I finished Red Dragon and am now reading Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton

After finishing Eaters I read Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris, which was fuckin good.

Started Alloy of Law by Brian Sanderson to kick off the new year and will finish it today.

I'm supposed to have Hannibal coming in the mail but it couldn't get delivered due to "insufficient address" despite my listed address being identical to my previous, and subsequent orders that got delivered successfully

Border Trilogy goes extremely hard if you're into cowboy shit

Just re-read Doors of Perception and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Today I started reading Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, I've seen the movie but the book is dope because it's written in that Scottish dialect. Even tho it's English it feels like you're translating for a bit but it gets smoother.

Came here to say these books. All time great novels right there. If I had to give my top 5 books of all time, these would be 4 of them.

also anything by Murakami goes hard. His books are weird but so entertaining
