Kannap wrote:So I was looking for a thread about sharing book recommendations or discussing books in general. I came very close to asking for book recommendations in the "What Book Are You Reading?" before determining that thread may not be the best place for that question. So I decided that perhaps a new thread needed to be created - upon not being able to find one that fit my search.
So, NationStates, what books do you really like, perhaps what is your favorite book and why? What book do you hate and why (perhaps books you were forced to read)? And do you have any book recommendations you want to request or share?
Right now, for me, I have found a Summer reading challenge posted by Goodreads and decided to adopt it as my Summer reading challenge. So for book recommendations, I am presently looking for books to read in June that meet the following descriptions.
1. A book that takes place in the "great wide open"
2. A book about the end of the world as we know it

7. Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer isn’t scary per say, but extremely creepy and unnerving. One of my current favorites. It also got turned into a movie, but I haven’t seen it yet.

I've read the first two Iluminae books. They're awesome.

I meant it for the OP, but I certainly can't stop you posting your favourite genre. Goodness, this might even turn into some kind of reading discussion thread:
Most of what I read is fantasy, with much of the rest being a mix of history (non-fiction), sci-fi, and the odd classic.

I dunno if I really have a favorite genre, I just read anything.
And if this ends up being a book/reading discussion thread, great, I was really hoping it would turn into that.
