What books should I read?

These [link] [link]

For alternate history, try Romanitas. It's a kind of action/drama set in the modern day roman empire.

For fantasy, Magician by Raymond Fiest. it's the start of an absolutely epic series.

And, of course, anything Pratchett.

I recommend The Dresden Files. PI Harry Dresden is a wizard in modern Chicago.

A Court of Thorns and Roses or The Throne of Glass Series. Both are by Sarah J Maas

If you're into Star Wars, The New Jedi Order was an amazing series, pretty long though

Get a classic in ya, read Lolita by vladimir nabokov

Ningen Shikkaku (translated) by Osamu Dazai, it's alt history ish

Ive recently started a book called "Throne of Glass" by Sarah J Maas. Its like, if Game of Thrones, Hunger Games, and The Mortal Instruments had a baby. If you havent read The Mortal Instruments yet, theyre really worth it. Id also suggest the Odd Thoman series, my bae is addicted to the series.

The one book I have on display - Orchid eater by Marc Laidlaw. (Or alternatively, try another of his, he is an incredible writer)

Never the Bride, Paul Magrs = great book, alternative and some far flung storytelling.

Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. It's got action, all mythologies, and a ton of humor. you can't go a chapter without at least a little laughter.

Prisoners of Ourselves: Totalitarianism in everyday life: Gunduz Y. H. Vassaf

Outside the genre's you are asking about, however, an excellent read for Social Science students.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six; although most of Tom Clancy's books can be rather dry, and I'm not a fan of most of them for that reason, Rainbow Six is by far one of the best books I've read and is a great action/crime/military/thriller novel. Absolute must-read (in my opinion); and the only Tom Clancy book I whole-heartedly recommend.

Metro 2033 if you're into post-apocalyptic books, one of my favorites of the genre. A little bit of action/supernatural/horror all rolled into one. A fun read, that I have no problems reading multiple times.

The Stormlight Archive - Branden Sanderson (Series with 3 books out, more to come) The Demon Cycle - Peter V. Brett (5 book series, 4 out) The Name of the Wind & The Wise Man's Fear - Patrick RothfussThe Dark Elf Trilogy - R.A. Salvatore

First books of series I've liked:
- Grimspace by Ana Aguirre
- The Way of the Shadows by Brent Weeks
- Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison
- Bitten by Kelley Armstrong

Xanth series by Piers Anthony
Myth series by Robert Aspirin
