I love reading, so i'm going to tell you which are the books you absolutely must read in this lifetime!

1) Riptide Douglas preston & Lincoln child

This is one of the most awesome thrillers i've read. The plot and scientific explanations behind it are just mind-blowing. Riptide makes you think that the situation and mysteries surrounding Ragged island are truely supernatural before bashing you with a revelation that's not only believable but wildly fantastic.
No cookie-cutter plot here. It's so good it borders on being terrifying.

2) Killing Floor Lee Child

Gore. Blood. More gore. You can almost see the claret flying all over the place in this. The main character is really cool. Cooler than Alex Cross by a continent. Cooler than Neo or Justin Timberlake. Or any damn person you can think of.

3) Life of Pi Yann MartelKilling Floor is brutal and sadistic in a loud way while Life of Pi is brutal and sadistic in a way so subtle the only way you'd realise how sinister the plot is is after you've read to the last page and ruminated on it like a cow.
How can a book about a boy in a boat with a zebra, a hyena, an orang utan and a bengal tiger be any sinister?
It is. And it's a great book.

4) Road to Perdition Max Allen CollinsIt's a graphic novel. Nope, it doesn't have whiny teens with incredible eye-sizes, ridiculous outfits or hairdos bigger than Amy Winehouse's. Or robots shooting rockets out of their knees. This is a tale about a father, a son, a cute car and buckets of bloody revenge.
Moving, gritty, tragic and wonderfully good.

5) Assassin's Apprentice Robin Hobb
My favourite fantasy series. It's so humane it could almost be a history book. The book is brick thick and wordy and damnably hard to break into. Yet the pay-offs for perseverance are immense.
I've read a ton of fantasy books and this series is..... .... simply... ... the best. *chokes*. It's the best.

6) Vlad Taltos Series Steven BrustAssassin's Appentice is a soulful, heart-wrenching and philosophical whirlwind of emotions. The Vlad Taltos series is just great fun! Fantasy books aren't really fun in the first place. Moody and filled to the brim with old men in beards. This series manages to be eccentric and ridiculously entertaining.

Yup, go read these books now!
As you can see, I'm an exclusive fantasy and thriller reader. No other genre sully my eyes.
So, if you're the kind who loves romance or drama or, god-forbid, biographies, you might find these books utterly unattractive. So forget all that i've written and carry on reading your Nora Robert or whatever.
