What books should I read?

Hey, so I am looking for some cool books to read and I figured, why not get suggestions for similar minds.

 

I obviously like sci-fi and I also like fantasy. I thought for example that the Divergent series was quite good.

 

Sci-fi or fantasy with romance is also good, but I prefer more mature romance. For example, the Percy Jackson series felt a bit too childish for me because Percy's and Annabeth's relationship felt so innocent it became a bit childish for me. Still liked the books though.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

It's totally not a genre that you specified and you probably won't like it, but you should read The Fountainhead and report back. :)

Do you play WoW? if so there is plethora of books about it I have read like 15 or so and those are not all of them.

 

I was recently introduced to a book series (like 6 books) by Harry Turtle dove, is called "World War Series" sci fi about aliens invading the planet during the middle of world war two, I like it a lot.

 

I'm also in the process of reading Game of Thrones books and Hunger Games trilogy dunno if that is your taste.

The Outlander series is fantastic. More than your fair share of "romance".

 

Enders Game is a must. 

I read it, never understood what the fuss was about. Seemed like another boring pre-teen sci-fi series.

I only read the first one.

 

Either way, I didn't get why people rave about it.

The first one was good but it went into a whole lot more detail in the other books.

All 10 or so books that are in the ender's game universe are really good. Also, if you haven't already, the maze runner books are really good, better than the movie like every other good book made into a movie.

Well if you want a "mature" romance book Fifty Shades of Gray is the book for you. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

That's not romance.

Well, I've read Ender's Game, Lord of the Rings, and.... Alice in Wonderland when I was little. Like all of those, thanks for the suggestions still :).

 

I might try the Maze Runner and I am looking into both the Phoenix and the Hyperion series. :)
