yes I read the recommended literature, but couldn't figure out which category would suit my tastes: i've read
-alex rider
-eragon series
-artemis fowl
-dragon keeper series
-deltora quest (ages ago)
-troll fell series

what type of literature do you think I could fit into?

You're good for Finnegans' Wake.

Very hungry Caterpillar.

You seem to be a fantasy-friend. That's not bad, per se, but it will block you from accessing some of the more erudite of novels here. I'd advise you read Neuromancer. That's a step in the right direction. Then read some Russians.

well I havnt read since i was 15years old. Currently 19. When you say russians, is that a book series?

Do this OP:
Snow Crash
1984
Neuromancer
The Lord of the Rings

This should get you started without being too much of a blast of cold water.

In this order, by the way. Should be ascending in complexity.

He means great russian authors like Dostojevski. But you probably won't be ready for that for a while yet.

You'd like Ender's Game probably.

House of leaves is good. Sherlock Holmes is nice. A Clockwork Orange. Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. Notes from the Underground is pretty accessible if you have a decent vocabulary and are interested in it.
