My Book Recommendations

This post concerns books I would recommend reading. This list will cover a range of genres, so there should be something for everyone.

Fantasy Book Recommendations

• The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien
• The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien
• A Game of Thrones - George R.R Martin
• The Colour of Magic - Terry Pratchett 

I would recommend these book to readers who enjoy a tale driven by world building and character development

Books for Younger Readers or Young Adult 

• Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - J.K. Rowling
• The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
• The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger 
• Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Roald Dahl

These are fun books to read if you are still in your teens, though they can be enjoyed by older readers. Reading for pleasure requires reading enjoyable books, so do not feel guilty about reading these books even if you are an adult. 

Classics

• Dracula - Bram Stoker
• Frankenstein - Mary Shelley 
• Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens 
• The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle

Classics by nature are tougher reads because they often use words which have fallen out of usage. However, the classics listed above are some of my favourites and are worth a read. Dracula is a classic vampire book which helped define the horror genre. Sherlock Holmes also is worth reading if you are a fan of mystery and intellectual thinking. 

Books for Nerds

• Ready Player One - Ernest Cline
• Good Omens- Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
• The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
• All the Sherlock Holmes short stories and novels by - Arthur Conan Doyle

The books listed above are well suited, in my opinion, to to nerdy readers who enjoy science fiction and fantasy, clever humour, and intellectual mystery. Ready Player One is especially suited to those who have an interest in the pop culture of the 1980s, geek culture especially.
