Swore off non-fiction after college... Only thing I would be interested in is maybe something about outer-space, and even then I don't really want to read about physics and math... Plus TV is a better medium for that type of thing.

Real life is better in documentary form IMO

Ah, well I have nothing against people who like fiction. I've read a few that I liked, but I just can't justify it. Even though I guess its improves imagination, creativity, and can relate to real world lessons. And its entertaining.

The only book I can think of is Vril, The Power of the Coming Race. Only because its written like fiction, but relates to reality.

Here's a summary, and there's a .pdf you can find on google.

Props on the Thule society drop. Never really got into that mysticism though or alien beings stuff. Honestly think Hitler didnt buy into any of that stuff either. Mostly his henchmen like Himmler and Hess and such. He banned astrology after Hess's flight to England (some controversy there about the entire story's authenticity and the whole astrology deal)and had the Mangrove root guy killed. Then he shut down Masonry and related groups.

For an alternative view on occultism and the 3rd Reich there is a youtube video put out buy a guy named Dennis Wise. He did an interesting 6ish hour series called The Grestest Story Never Told about Hitler I recommend to anyone. Anyhow here is his Hitler Occultism Debunked in 3 min video. Not conclusive but it does interject some doubt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVekwQ2i04g

I thought The Dark Tower series was awesome. Fantasy Horror Western? Yes,plz.

If you want typical fantasy series though Sword of Truth, Sword of Shannara Trilogy, Dark Elf Trilogy & Icewind Dale are decent.

Chuck Palahniuk writes some pretty crazy stuff if your into progressive fiction (he wrote Fight Club)

House of Leaves was one of the weirdest/best reading experiences I've had.

Or you could always reach for some classics ... I'm currently reading H.P. Lovecraft.

The Talisman by Stephen King sounds like it might be up your alley, it's a departure from his typical horror books and closer to a fantasy novel (but not really). One of my top 3 favorite books.

Def. one of King's best but based off your past books, I'd still recommend The Dark Tower series. He wrote the series over a 30ish year period so each book has a slightly different feel (which I found was cool). King considers this series as his magnum opus.

He also thought lord of the flies was good. I liked the first book in dark tower series and kinda consider the rest a waste of time. I actually really enjoyed the ending to the series though.

To each their own. The Gunslinger was an awesome book though but I'm partial to the The Waste Lands. Blaine the Mono was an awesome character

Legitimately LoL'd on that one.

Yeah basically books that when i walk over to her and read over her shoulder i can find some kind of sex act happening or someone's feelings being expressed. Personally i dont mind her reading those books cause it just gives her ideas for in the bedroom so works for me until she starts to want to poke me with things lol.

OP has read The Wheel of Time. He knows drawn out. Dark Tower compares nothing to that.
