Seeking Some new reading material.
My first two classes of the day are SSOOOOO boring and all I do is read. I have found a few good books to keep me entertained and i want more. I want new stuff...

The books I've read:

Rash
Everlost
Full Tilt
The Compound
The Hunger Games

and that's all i can remember.

I enjoy books about the future of a society, like a future where everything's fucked up, government is too controlling, zombies, etc. like Half Life 2. That was fun, but it's not a book... sad... I'd read it... totally... Or portal... Is there a novel of that? Cuz I would SOOO read it.


Anyway, anyone have any good suggestions?

I really like the Hunger Games, it was about a televised game where people are pitted against other people in a fight to the death, only one person can live.

That was awesome...

Well if you liked hungergames.. (which is my favorite book!! ^_^) you should try reading the second book of that... catching fire... and also a book called Laviathan... that book is amazing!!

Well, I'm not much for the dystopian future type of literature, but if you haven't gotten into the historical adventure genre, I heavily recommend Wilbur Smith's Egypt series.

Read Twisted, wasn't a big fan. Come on people none of these books are what I LIKE, they're all what you like. If you don't have anything similar to my interest don't bother.

Cat's cradle and Dante's inferno

It's not called Dante's inferno, for one. It's called The Divine Comedy and have you ever read it? It's incredibly boring.

Erm, i don't know if this would be something you like.
The pendragon series has a couple of books like that, the series is about a boy who travels to different dimensions, trying to change key events that happen at exact times to reverse their destruction.
I believe one of the books is about a world that is completely controlled by a company and the most famous people are the gladiators who fight for their lives on a platform that hangs hundreds of feet in the air.

Sorry if this wasn't a good option for you, my tastes are kind of the opposite. I like dark age based books full of blades, magic, and romance.
