Hello goys, i wanted to ask here if anyone could recommend me some fiction literature. I think it goes without saying that i'm asking specifically for not-kiked stuff but it's even better if it is based (though i don't know how likely that is, maybe only the turner diaries)
Another aspect is its purpose, lovecraftian stories for example obviously leave you with that overwhelming sense of futility and dread. So while i somewhat enjoy those types of stories, in my opinion, fiction in all aspects should be used as motivation for the real world, so for example if you read about an honorable knight lifting a heavy boulder to throw at a dragon you might feel a certain inspiration and go train at the gym.
So yes, any fiction books you have enjoyed that you would recommend?
The works of Robert E. Howard, both Conan and others.
Early Tom Clancy, particularly Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising. Good fun military reading, and look inside the old style zogbot mythos, i.e. what they thought they were and imagined themselves doing.
The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis. Lots of his stuff is worth reading.
If you think you could have liked Harry Potter without the lameness, check out David Eddings Belgariad and Mallorean books. They are solidly in the 'young adult' category, and I read them when I was young so there's surely some nostalgia on my part, but I thought they held up as light reading as an adult. Current Year reviewers whine about the 'gender roles' depicted in it for good reason.
