I've read books like "1984", "Animal Farm", "Lord of the Flies", "The Catcher in the Rye", "Lord of the Rings" and much more. Suggest a book for me!

Pic unrelated.

Really, OP, you should try to put SOME thought into what you put in the first post. It is supposed to define the context of the text.

That said, I think that you would really love Count of Monte Cristo.

It comes with a free grey crayon - the only colour you need

Most of them have never read it but will dismiss it as garbage because of the fan base, it's as good a series as most fantasy and sci fi, and pretty much all of the novels in OP's list apart from lord of the flies and the catcher in the rye.

Meyer said Pride and Prejudice was her main influence, and you can see that both books have the same underlying messages.

Twilight's plot isn't amazing, but the characters are great and easy to relate to.

I don't know why everyone has such a big problem about the Twilight series, they're pretty well written.

Ignore the hate. Yeah your taste is kinda entry level, but you are still better read than 80% of the population.

Also, try The Big Sleep, 2001: A Space Odessy, Any Sherlock Holmes story, Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy and maybe some Virginia Woolf. All is God Tier entry level.

hitchhikers guide to the galaxy is horrendously bas and virginia woolf has terribly bland writing.

Anyone who thinks Woolf is bland never got on the old gal's wavelength. There is very much the spirit of life in her writing--the pulse and thrill of it.

Maybe try audiobooks?

I agree with some of the guys here, the Twilight series will be a good next step

>> No.1435803

Meyer is a good, albiet unimaginitive, author. However I preferred the Twilight series to the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
Maybe try Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' if you liked 1984 OP.
