Ok, so this is meant to be like a review/recommend a book thread, please dont fill up the thread with, "OMFG i read that book its rocks the big 111" and shit like that.
If you have read a great/good book and you think it may be of value to people in this scene to read such then by all means go ahead.
Please don't post *SPOILERS*, if you have to please make sure it is clear from the start of your post that you are doing this, you may like to make the spoiler into a quote or code format and change text to white, this way people can only see teh by highlighting it, this also depends on what theme you are using mopolauta in.

I read about a book a week so its kind of hard to decide which i would like to review first, but one that I really enjoyed and related to in a big was was a book by Sean Thomas called "Millions of Women are Waiting to Meet You".
First and foremost, when you pick up this book most will see it as a possible dating guide and put it back down again and move to the next book. However this books is not what it as first seems.
The book is like an autobiography, however it focuses really on a experience in the authors life, his internet dating experience.
It's a book like no others where the author has written a total honest account of what he was thinking about woman and why he acted the way he did. I relate to this book because many of my ideas on women and the way I think without women is put onto paper by Sean Thomas. He delves from an internet porn addiction to past experiences with woman that make him act in the way he does around women today.
This book is a totally genuine look into the male psychy and is a brilliant and refreshing way to talk about the male attitude to sex rather than it being falsified in both men's and woman's magazine.
This is one of the few book's I feel is a MUST read for both sexes and would create a different kind of unity in the world. Its one of the only books in my collection i would give 10+/10 score for, and this is why I recommend it to you.

Stephen King - The Dark Tower
There are different opinions about this book and as far as I know its either loved or hated. I´m one of those who love it, in fact its the most exciting and beautiful book I ever read.
Actually it is not one book, there are seven single books and like in the "Lord of the Rings"-Trilogy, they have to be read in the right order:
1. The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger (1982)
2. The Dark Tower II: The Drawing of the Three (1987)
3. The Dark Tower III: The Waste Lands (1991)
4. The Dark Tower IV: Wizard and Glass (1997)
5. The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla (2003)
6. The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah (2004)
7. The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower (2004)
As you can see, it took Stephen King more than 20 years to finish this book and he describes it as "the most important work in his life as an author".
I wont tell anything about the story, but if you`re into Fantasy (not with Dragons and Wizards, but still it is kinda Fantasy) I definitely recommend this masterpiece!
Oh and if you say you don`t like Stephen King, you should know that this is way different from most other books he wrote.
Hail Roland!

"Every night, me go to sleep, me have wet dream..."
undoubtably. i have read the first 5 books, but then lost interest by the time the 6th came out. but if you're 15 or younger, harry potter really is a good and cheezy book. 10/10!!!!!A.K.B. wrote:The Harry Potter series is a good read.
still like the movies though 20/10!!!!!
and there was a book i read at school called Thunder Road. i enjoyed reading that but not as much as hp. its written by a nz author. 8/10.....

Tales of the Otori, by Lian Hearn. Four books has been released so far, though I think the 4:th is the last one in the series. At first I thought it was a trilogy, but the 4:th book was released recently.
Across the Nightingale Floor
Grass for His Pillow
Brilliance of the Moon
The Harsh Cry of the Heron
Great series. A fictive world with culture, which resembles the medieval Japan.
