Hi everyone!
I just finished some school applications and now finally have some time to read,
English is not my native language so I am trying to read some more books to improve it,
mostly I have no problem with the help of kindle.

Some books I have read in the past two months and loved :
The fountainhead - Ayn Rand
3 books of hunger game series - Suzanne Collins
Kitchen Confidential - Anthony Bourdain

I am interested in both fiction and non-fiction,
Stories with historical backgrounds etc.
tho not so much into poems and topic thats mostly political.

so I wonder if any of you have some good books to recommend?
It would be great to hear some ideas from you!

Thanks! :)

Three of my favorite fiction books...

1. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley



2. Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut



3. Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Interesting, ive heard of Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut before, will definitely check it out and other two too! Thanks :D

Scariest book I ever read..... Dracula by B. Stoker. So well written, so convincing. Even though it is "fiction" you end up believing it.

I wore garlic around my neck for a month.

Lol really? awesome I love garlic!

Generally I dont go to horror movie, but books I can deal with!!! Thanks :)

The Alienist - Caleb Carr

The year is 1896, the place, New York City. On a cold March night New York Times reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned to the East River by his friend and former Harvard classmate Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, a psychologist, or "alienist." On the unfinished Williamsburg Bridge, they view the horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy, a prostitute from one of Manhattan's infamous brothels.

The newly appointed police commissioner, Theodore Roosevelt, in a highly unorthodox move, enlists the two men in the murder investigation, counting on the reserved Kreizler's intellect and Moore's knowledge of New York's vast criminal underworld. They are joined by Sara Howard, a brave and determined woman who works as a secretary in the police department. Laboring in secret (for alienists, and the emerging discipline of psychology, are viewed by the public with skepticism at best), the unlikely team embarks on what is a revolutionary effort in criminology-- amassing a psychological profile of the man they're looking for based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer who has killed before. and will kill again.


And it's sequel The Angel Of Darkness

Boyd Gaines skillfully delivers a wide range of voices and characterizations in narrating this potboiler , the sequel to Carr's The Alienist. The time is June 1897. The place is New York City. The story is narrated by 13-year-old, streetwise Stevie Taggart, who is a member of a team of detecting irregulars. The kidnapping of an 18-month-old child sets the story in motion. The ongoing investigation uncovers a sociopath named Libby Hatch, who is a suspect in the deaths of a frightening number of children, including her own. Using the relatively new fields of forensics and psychoanalysis, and calling on the assistance of some well-known "names" (Teddy Roosevelt, Franz Boaz, Cornelius Vanderbuilt), the team runs Libby Hatch to earth. But where is the child she recently abducted? The clever zigzags of this thriller finally answer this question.



Steel Beach - John Varley

Set in a future where humanity, expelled from the Earth by the alien Invaders, now lives in artificial habitats on the moon, Mars and other planets. Advanced technologies ensure a fairly effortless and secure life--almost any injury or disease is curable; people can change their features or even their gender with an afternoon of painless surgery. But all is not well on Luna. Hildy Johnson, top reporter for a tabloid, has been unaccountably depressed, even suicidal, and he soon learns that he's not alone. Even the Central Computer that maintains Luna's environment has been feeling down. As Hildy and the CC search for a reason to live, Hildy changes gender, quits his/her job and examines religions; the CC takes steps for itself that may lead to moonwide catastrophe. Varley's tight, clean writing, full of wit and good humor, evokes despair, joy, anger and delight. His Luna is packed with wild inventions, intriguing characters and stunning scenery.
