So, its been a while since I have read a good book, partly due to not being able to concentrate long enough! I want to get back into reading with a bang, I need a good book that I cant get my head out of!

I have just bought the first four books in the Stephen King 'The Dark Tower' series, but have a couple of controversial ones on my wish list. 'The Catcher in The Rye', 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'. 'The Well of Lonliness'. 'Mein Kampf' and 'American Psycho'.

I really want to expand my reading from just horror/thriller and have already to some extent by reading the Qu'ran.

If you could recommend just one book, what would it be? Any genre, its doesnt matter!

The one book I would recommend is 'The Shining' By Stephen King, but then again I havnt read many good books!

P.S I dont care how boring I am lol
 
A good modern classic to read is "To Kill A Mockingbird."

And another one, less well known, is "Candlemoth" by RJ Ellory....this I adored.
 
I guarrantee that you will buy the other 3? in the Dark Tower series, they are superb (apart from Stephen King appearing in the latter stages of the story), controversial ending but I thought it was great.
One book to read eh?
Try "Labyrinth" by Kate Mosse, or
"We need to Talk about Kevin" by Lionel Shriver

I thoroughly enjoyed the "Kevin" one but couldn't get into "Labyrinth" at all, although my mate (who has great taste in books and is very well read) persevered and loved it.

No shame in being boring. Er, so a mate tells me!
