Hi,
I'm looking for a book to read - doesn't have to be a series, it can be a stand-alone. Preferably historical fiction or sci-fi, but anything works :)

Hello Weise,
I recommend you Umberto Ecos "The name of the rose"

Thanks Saijo, it looks interesting! :)

Have you ever looked into anything by Phillip K. Dick? He's an incredible author.

No, I haven't - but I will now. =) Thanks for telling me!

Try Sherrilyn Kenyon writings. She got a series based on history and another series that is sci-fi.

Welll, my favourite books are The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and The Thin Executioner by Darren Shan :P They're pretty wildly different, but basically Perks is a growing-up highschool story about a socially inept guy, whilst Executioner's a fantasy/kinda-horror thing about a guy who sets out on a quest to achieve immortality. Buuut, they're both amazingly well written and fantastic character development, which I think is what appeals to me most. Anywaaay, I definitely recommend them if either tickles your fancy <3

Sci-fi: the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy
Historical: found by market petterson haddix (kinda sci-fi too bc time travel to historical time)

9 Name: Gallus : 2015-12-02 16:37 ID:EDSaqv0n [Del]

/\ Actually yeah, I 100% second Hitchhiker's, I love that series <3

10 Name: Bastion : 2015-12-02 20:27 ID:jOL87QDE [Del]

Discworld

11 Name: Acadia !UNWiFLQukM : 2015-12-02 20:58 ID:VB4gyobt [Del]

Legend by Marie Lu (it's a trilogy)

This is more of a fantasy series, but Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

12 Name: Diran-kun : 2015-12-03 01:08 ID:UHGUH3GO [Del]

The Ender's Game franchise by Orson Scott Card is pretty good and a classic. There's a ton of entries in the series and there's no set order except that "Children of the Mind" is supposed to be read after completing "Xenocide."

13 Name: Anon J + A and C : 2015-12-03 09:14 ID:qyOmVt/T [Del]

Jeremy Fink and the meaning of life (A). The perks of being a wallflower. (J)

14 Name: ryuhime : 2015-12-03 19:06 ID:WcG9EkQm [Del]

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

15 Name: Museless : 2015-12-06 13:52 ID:jYf+nBpC [Del]

Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc by Mark Twain is pretty interesting
The Lost Art by Simon Morden is my personal fav
