the bible

"Transfer of Power" by Vince Flynn

It's the first book where the assassin Mitch Rapp comes into the picture - followed by several other's in the series.

Great reads all of them!

Legend by David Gemmell is a good read

You into Sci-fi? Snowcrash by Neal Stephenson is good, but Cryptonomicon is probably his best book. Also Neuromancer is pretty dank.

If sci-fi isn't your thing, then a Sherlock Holmes compilation has always been something I absolutely adore. Or if you are into strange history crap then An Underground Education by Richard Zacks.

all of those sound interesting im going to look them all up, thanks for the suggestions

Cryptonomicon looks pretty awesome btw, im gonna start on that, i read neuromancer a while ago was also good

If you do like scifi

Random acts of senseless violence (its about manhattan going to shit in the near future)

Ship of fools by Richard Paul Russo

lots of good suggestions here thanks again

Crystal express by bruce sterling is very good, i enjoyed the short stories in the shaper/mechanist universe a whole lot, for some reason had a hard time getting into schismatrix, a longer prelude to the short stories.

You can buy Schismatrix plus and it includes the short stories from Crystal express as well

If you enjoyed Neuromancer you can hardly go wrong with this one

if your into fantasy types

check out Vlad Taltos book series by Steven Brust, or "To Reign in Hell" by the same author

also ASOIAF / Game of Thrones, by George RR Martin


Steven Brust is Epic.

[Goofier]

Enders game
Yeah Cryptonomicon is radical ^_^

Seconded on both.

Also, Eon by Greg Bear.
Kalki
The Initiate Brother/Gatherer of Clouds
The Chtorr books
Anything by Heinlein

[Kraftwerk]

the bible

I don't know if you're joking but it is actually an interesting read. I'm not religious but I find it curious.

Also ASOIAF is pretty killer, almost done with book 4 myself.

Stay well away from the Games Workshop novels (the black library?). Worst books known to man and an affront to my senses...

However, "The Complete Chronicles of Conan the Barbarian" by Robert E. Howard (http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Complete-Chronicles-Conan-Centenary/dp/0575077662/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1351774694&sr=8-3) is a sound investment ;)
