Thread: Favorite fiction books?

  1. #1

    Default Favorite fiction books?

    They don't necessarily have to be pro-freedom related, but I assume they won't be anti-freedom. Thanks.

    Anna Karenina by Tolstoy
    Mark Twain's short stories, along with Huck Finn
    Frank O'Connor's short stories
    The Naked and the Dead
    Live From Golgotha by Gore Vidal
    Dorothy Parker's short stories
    The Tin Drum by Gunther Grass

    If you read "The Tin Drum", you should then read "A Prayer for Owen MeanY" by John Irving, just because the comparisons are interesting.

    Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (some of the sequels/prequels are also good)

    Dune, Dune Messiah, and Children of Dune by Frank Herbert (more were written that really went down hill imho) Frank Herbert's son also wrote some prequels that are OK.

    Two Crowns for America can't remember author

    The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan the first three or four books were incredible, but instead of wrapping it up in a seven books eries like originally planned, he got about a bazillion sub plots going and didn't get the alst book written before he passed away. Last book is currently being written by another author.)

    I've read probably 500 fiction books, and there were probably others that I enjoyed at least this well, but these are the ones that come to mind.

    I agree with original intent.. Dune is amazing, cant go wrong with Frank Herbert..

    I also suggest "Out of The Silent Planet" by C.S Lewis.. its a little known 3 part Science Fiction/Fantasy that he wrote and it is amazing.
    Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. - Thomas Jefferson
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
