Any bookworms in the forum?
When I am not detailing or going to school I like to read up on good books. I need to find some new books to read! Any suggestions?
I currently finished the Hunger Games trilogy. Believe it or not my niece told me to read it and I thought it was a great book especially since it was meant for teen readers,. I pretty much like to read anything that will leave me on the edge of my seat (in this case my La-Z-Boy!)

Re: Any bookworms in the forum?
I enjoy reading books whenever I can get the time. I get up at 4 in the morning and don't usually get to bed until about 9 or 10 at night, so I find myself falling asleep just about anytime I sit still. So it's pretty frustrating trying to read. But I enjoy the type of books you mentioned: edge of the seat thrillers that keeps your interest. I also like history; Civil War, WWII, and biographies. Crime books too.

I recommend the Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. First 2 books are out now called Name of the Wind and Wise Man's Fear.
If you want something on a much grander scale then The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan is about as big as it gets.
The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks was good for edge of your seat action.
Another highly recommended series would be The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman. 7 books total in that series.
If you like YA fiction a couple of recs would be The Bartimaeus Series by Jonathan Stroud and The Artemis Fowl Series by Eion Colfer.
The Dark Tower series by Stephen King is phenomenal.
Anything by Christopher Moore is excellent.
The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy series is one of my all time favorites.
I am sure I forgetting some stuff but these should occupy you for a few years if you decided to read them all.

+1 for the Dark Tower Series, another good one I found is Space Wars, I can't remember the authors name.

I read mostly during the winter months. I like history, some autobiographies, politics, Sherlock Holmes, some comedy, and of course, car stuff.
I buy from library book sales, etc. and put newer releases on my Christmas wush list.
Generally, if a book looks like it will hold my interest, I'll pick it up. Same thing with magazines.

I just found a new (to me) author...Richard Marcinko (think that's the correct spelling) Rogue Warrior series.

It's an excellent book. Usually I'm a speed reader, can knock out a paperback in an afternoon, 100 pages an hour, but not these. You gotta s-l-o-w down and take in all the information being thrown at you.
Other books I'v cracked open are The Postman by David Brin, which so far as been excellent. Also reading some Malcolm Gladwell books, interesting reads. But my biggest collection is paperbacks by soldiers who served in Vietnam. I know I've read over 20 paperbacks, each one interesting as the next.
I should get them all out and upload a picture you ya'll.
Lies My Teacher Told Me seems like it would be a interesting and educational read.

I would also add anything by Arthur C. Clarke if you like hard science fiction (Sci-Fi based on actual or theoretical science). I particularly enjoyed the Space Odyssey series and the Rama series. The Light of Other Days was also very good, it makes you think. They are not very action oriented, though they have some intense page turner chapters.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is amazing, but it has lots of lengthy descriptions, which i like, but if you prefer action id find something else to read first.
I'm not reading anything right now, i think i'll fix that soon lol
Thanks for the suggestions. I really want to read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and I think that's what I might pick up for my next read. Are these books in a series?

Wow those seem like interesting books! I just looked at The Wheel of time books and there are so many of them which I like! I am going to read the Hitchhikers Guide first and then go on to the Kingkiller books. These would really occupy me for years! Better get my reading on!
