I am looking for some solid suggestions in re books to read. Historical fiction, personal growth, fiction. Any suggestions pertaining to these genre's would be ideal but if you have a book you think is a must read of another genre, feel free to propose it.



Books I'd recommend right now

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Sunny's Blues by James Baldwin

The Tools by Barry Michaels and Phil Stutz
 
Think this thread kinda already exists but who cares. Read the Flashman books they're some of the best historical fiction going round. Flash at the charge, flash in the great game and flash and the dragon are my favourites.

Thanks for the suggestions. I looked for a books thread, but didn't see one. Perhaps I missed it. Mods please merge if this is an issue.
 
I had a friend who was a readoholic and read a bunch of books his whole life and when I asked him his favorite books he said the Wheel of Time series if you like epic fantasy fiction type. Did anyone else here about that series? It is a huge time investment.
 
Rumor has it new Jazz member Ekpe Udoh does a book club thingy. Look into that.

Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed reading both Killing Lincoln and Killing Kennedy.

It amazes me how famous WoT is. It speaks to the state of fantasy fiction. I would not recommend it to a well-read adult.

Blackout/All Clear are pretty fun. They're not strictly historical fiction, since they involve time travel, but they take place during WW2.
