Just started [i]A Song of Ice and Fire[/i] by George RR Martin a few weeks ago. Lots of content to stomach, but if you've seen the show ([i]Game of Thrones[/i]), that'll help.

2 RepliesEdited by Crock mocket: 8/2/2015 5:35:58 AM[i]The Devil in the White City [/i] by Erik Larson is a fantastic third-hand account of the creation of Chicago's Columbian Expo in 1892, and the serial killer who used it to lure victims into his labyrinth. Storytelling and style like a novel, but completely non fiction. [i]The Age of Spiritual Machines[/i] by Ray Kurzweil is also something everyone should pick up. It's non fiction in a sense, but terribly interesting, and it will change your entire perception of the terms "intelligence" and "life". It will make you rethink what it means to be alive and living. I've also finished [i]Sharp Objects[/i] recently, by Gillian Flynn. A pretty short novel, but a very full and chilling story. Tonnes of atmosphe and characterization.

1 ReplyThe Republic – Plato Plato’s Republic is unparalleled in its coverage of all areas of life. While Plato addresses metaphysical issues, he does so with language and analogies that most people can grasp with studious reading. But Plato talks about much more than metaphysics. Marriage, music, war, kings, procreation and more are all topics of discussion for Plato’s dialog. Beyond Good and Evil – Friedrich Nietzsche Beyond Good and Evil confirmed Nietzsche’s position as the towering European philosopher of his age. The work dramatically rejects the tradition of Western thought with its notions of truth and God, good and evil. Nietzsche demonstrates that the Christian world is steeped in a false piety and infected with a ‘slave morality’. The World as Will and Representation – Arthur Schopenhauer If you are clever enough to shave away the nagging scientific details which have expired with time (as they all do), as well as the great philosopher’s personal opinions, you will find this to be one of the greatest works ever written. For me, it was the end of philosophy; good answers to the questions I have always wrestled. An important thing to remember about Schopenhauer is that, as far as I know, he is the last great system-builder, the last philosopher in the traditional sense, who set out to create an entire picture of the world. His concept of the will, when fully grasped, is powerful and very simple. The Brothers Karamazov – Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Brothers Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel set in 19th century Russia, that enters deeply into the ethical debates of God, free will, and morality. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, and reason, set against a modernizing Russia.

If you like fantasy books, I would suggest any of the discworld novels (I prefer the ones about death and the wizards). They're also pretty funny. Another good Terry Pratchett book is bad omens he wrote with Neil gaiman(not sure about the spelling). It's about an angel and demon, who have become friends, and try to prevent the apocalypse. There's more to it, but I don't want to spoil anything, and I suck at explaining things.
