[Erik]

I need to buy a good book to read these days. But I can't decide which? any recommendations? i like dystopic type books, like 1984 and etc.

"fahrenheit 451" by ray bradbury

you will probably like it if you enjoy "1984" and "brave new world"

theres far too many favourite books of mine to mention but i will say that the most refreshing book from modern times is The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time. I'd seriously reccomend it as a fantastic piece of capturing modern literature.

Ha, I read that one too.
Especially in the beginning (when you're not used to the boy's behaviour) it's very 'fun' to read

 

[Sadguru]

As far as novel goes, I would say "Veronika Deserves to Die" fucking blew me away.

<geek> I am currently reading a realy good book called "Hacking exposed, 5th edition". as an it admin, it scares the living hell out of me </geek>

Check out Huysmans books....awesome, I'm just looking for people who would like to discuss about them.Really worthy to read.

Kafka on the shore by Haruki Murakami is an awesome book. Probably the best one I've read.

 

[Aprilhäxan]

Oh well, it doesn't sound good at all after Kafka, but my fave book is Stephen King's "The Dead Zone" (has nothing to do with that crappy movie they show us on TV). And also two my favourite authors are Claes Holmstr&#246;m and Per Hagman. I don't think these names will tell anything to the majority, but anyway. And yeah, I agree with Sadguru, Paulo Coelho is the shit.
