How much interest do you have in straight horror? |
i haven't read many in this genre, but this was really good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_(novel))1050 pages
I also liked Dune and the 7 books that kinda round out the series -I Am Legend - Richard Matheson: i thought this was very good. the most recent movie version did a horrible job |
Plague of the Dead and Thunder and Ashes by Z.A. Recht. They're a part of the Morningstar Saga, basically about a zombie outbreak. It's been a couple years since I read them but they were pretty entertaining from what I remember.

Day by Day Armageddon - J.L. Bourne
I thought this book and its sequel were better than WWZ and The Walking Dead. |

I don't read much SciFi beyond Star Wars, Star Trek, and Doctor Who books. But I love all if Douglas Adam's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Dirk Gently books. I'm a tepid fan of Asimov - I liked I, Robot; but got bored with the foundation series. Anything by Bradbury is great. Gene Wolfe is a fun writer to read- the dude writes in his own odd language-the Book of the Long Sun is a good one to try. I read Battlefield Earth before that crap movie came out, and before I knew about L Ron Hubbard's bizarre religion, but I thought that book kicked anus when I first read it. I have a ton of favorite Fantasy books. I'll just list the first few I can think of : Albion Song series- Stephen R. Lawhead. Dark Tower Series, The Talisman, The Stand, The Eyes of the Dragon- Stephen King. Light Fantastic (Discworld series) - Terry Pratchett Song of Ice and Fire series - George RR Martin. Memory, Sword, and Sorrow series - Tad Williams The Lies of Locke Lamora- Scott Lynch Wheel of Time series - Robert Jordan The Dresdin Files series - Jim Butcher |

Dune is on my must read list, I forgot to mention it.
Great recommendations guys. Quikies, I'm somewhat interested in horror. Do you have a short horror novel you could recommend? Sci-Fi horror would be cool. Something like that movie Sunshine. Jaws, I'm over 50% in. |
The Stand.
Jizz. |
The Stand, definitely. Just be sure to get the unabridged 1000+ page version.

Dune chronicles by Frank Herber, havn't ever read them but I thought Dune was a good movie so the books should be good too.
|
I haven't read I, Robot, but Asimov's Foundation series was pretty great, you might throw those in somewhere.
And when you read the Dune series..just..forget there's a 7th one. |

And don't buy the Gary Sinese/Molly Ringwald covered version. The first time I saw it I though it was a romance novel. LMAO |
