You can list a topic if you need a book to read 

Or if you just want to talk about books I'm all ears

Also Wright down a book biography about you so we now what to suggest 

I will go first 

I like fiction 

I like the big books 

I am ok with the love books as long as it's not all about love

I suggest 

Percy Jackson all the Rick Riordan's books are good but you must read percy jackson first.   Divergent.  Hunger games.  Harry Potter.  

The Giver (by Lois Lowry), Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card), and Hamilton (Ron Chernow) are some of my favorite books.

I'm reading through the last book in the Ender's Game series, Xenocide, but it's taking a while because it's very different from the others so it's harder to connect with it. I'm also reading Wolf Nation (by Brenda Peterson). It's about wolves and their role in ecology, but it's kind of depressing so it's taking a while, too.

The last two books I read were The Last Neanderthal (Claire Cameron) and The Atlas of Love (Laurie Frankel). The Last Neanderthal is historical fiction about how the neanderthals died out and it had some really interesting stuff about their biology. I didn't know we had sequenced their genome and could know so many details about them like how they could literally sense the body heat of their prey from a long distance. That's insane. The Atlas of Love is about familial love- love for family and friends. It's about three friends in college raising a baby together.

The way my taste in books has changed makes me feel old even though I'm only 20. I don't read much fiction any more. Historical and realistic fiction, sure, but stuff like Ender's Game is definitely an outlier.

If you want to keep track of the books you have or want to read, libib is a free catalogue you can use. I used it to catalogue my entire bookshelf. You can use it for other stuff like movies, too.

Wow thanks for talking I need new books to read and ender game sounds interesting that is so cool how they sense there preys body heat 

I'm going to boop into here with some offers, too! :)

Forest of the Gods by Balys Sruoga is one of my favourite books of all time, honestly. It's by a Lithuanian author, but I've heard there are many translations done into many different languages, so that shouldn't be a problem; it's a collection of memoirs from his experience while exiled to the Stutthof concentration map during WWII; this book is really sad because of the historical events it depicts, but what I like a lot about this book is the amount of ironic satire that the overall tone is full off; it lets you smile and have a little chuckle at what otherwise would make you just cry and feel miserable. I'd honestly really encourage to give this book a go if you can get your hands on it.

Another one of my favourites is Kazan by James Oliver Curwood - it's about a tame wolf-dog hybrid by the name of Kazan and his life in the wilderness after he is separated from his owner. It's written in a very simple yet elegant style and is a nice read when you're not looking for something super-serious or thought-provoking. I think it was this book that got me into loving wolves, honestly.

If you're a fan of horror ('creepy') books, I'd definitely recommend anything by Stephen King; he's one of my favourite authors and the one person I look up literature-wise; he influences my own writing style a lot, too. You'd probably need to go through a few of his books to find what you like the most, but his short stories and longer novels are perfect whenever it's storming or raining outside and you have nothing better to do with your life, haha. I'd personally recommend The Shining, The Stand, Pet Sematary, Misery, Doctor Sleep.

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell is another good book, but if you're not into dystopian social science things, you might find it a little bit boring. I think I liked it a lot because of the history of my country and because there was a lot to connect between this fictional place and the history and my home. Theme-wise, this novel is basically a deep revelation of what it would be like to live under totalitarianism, mass surveillance and overall repression; if you want to widen your palette with a 'serious' book or something along the lines, I'd definitely tell you to give this ago (that, or Animal Farm by the same author).

Fantasy-wise, I'm a sucker for The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien - his books set in this universe are, honestly, even above Harry Potter for me as I consider the latter a bit more meant for younger people when compared to LotR. If you need a good fantasy series with your usual elves, dwarfs, giant monsters and a pretty easy-to-follow storyline, definitely give this a go if you haven't already!

I've always liked fantasy a bit more than books that have to deal with the real world and while I now read other things that do deal with reality, I still like made-up stories more. I'm forced to read way too many scienc-y and 'official' things for my studies, so it's nice to just sit back and relax with something that's easy, fun and lets me delve deep into something that can take me away into another world~

I watched the lord of the rings movies with my family once though I couldn't find the book's 

I also suggest julie of the wolves it is a short book but is really good 

I used to read sooo many books but havent in a while 😭

I read The Sight  (wolf fantasy/prophecy book) and Fire Bringer (same deal, but with deer) both by David Clement-Davies once a year from 7th-12th grade. 

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King is amazing, I’ve reread it a few times as well. The movie was terrible in my opinion, and basically completely different than the book (as most book to movie deals are). I havent read any of his other books so I can’t say how they compare, but I’d probably rate it M for mature. 

I’ll throw out The Witcher series too by Andrzej Sapkowski. Great books, video games, and netflix series! 

All fantasy books now that I’m looking at it. I’ll see if I can think of any nonfiction books!

Thank you they all seem very interesting especially the sight

You have all been really helpful thank you

Keep up the good work other people need books to read and please put bio so we can suggest things

I've read quite a few of the books that have been mentioned! Love the variation of suggestions. 

I prefer fiction, and fantasy in particular. 

I do not like romance, generally speaking. There are a few exceptions, but they are few and far between. Even when it's a minor plot point it'll often get on my nerves because it usually feels very forced or unnecessary. 

I recommend: 

The Legend of Eli Monpress by Rachel Aaron. Five book series, usually sold in two compendiums (one with books 1-3, one with books 4-5). Fantasy series, in which every single thing in the world has a spirit but only wizards can communicate with them. The main character is a thief who pulls off most of his heists by charming the spirits into letting him do whatever he wants - he's introduced convincing a dungeon door to open and let him out. 

And, if you liked the concept of Game of Thrones, but thought there was a little too much misogyny and unneeded violence, and also that the direwolves could and should have been 10000% cooler - may I suggest the Firekeeper saga by Jane Lindskold? High fantasy with lots of court intrigue, main character was raised by magical, highly intelligent wolves. There are 8 books, I believe, but so far I've only read the first 6.
