What books should I look for If I want to expand my experience?

Recently I discovered we have a real library, with books like the secret, Da vinci code and other modern western books. I love reading and I always wanted to read some western books. I Don't know many writers and books so I dont know what to look for.

Im looking for something unique, a book to fall in love with. Im not looking for the lord of the rings or harry potter books, Im looking for fantasy-like novels, with great scenario and weird settings. It does not have to be fantasy, it can be about real life, but in a twisted and complicated way. any suggestions? and oh no love stories please.

I don't really get what you're asking for, but these are my favorite books-

Foundation by Isaac Asimov

Shogun by James Clavell

King Rat by James Clavell

Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis

On the Road by Jack Kerouac

I don't read much but I highly recommend you to read this:

Drizzit. Find any book were the main character is called drizzit.

The Corrections by Johnathan Franzen

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey

The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemmingway

Ian M Banks Culture novels are most probably the best mind bending science fiction out there, trust me on this but once you've read "The Player of Games" and either"excession" the scope and narrative power of these works of art is so humbling that it honestly does make this ball of rock we call Earth seem so insignificant, utterly amazing.

Siren of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut is a good one; has some sci-fi/weird/humorous elements. Actually, anything by Kurt Vonnegut is a good choice.

Behold the pinnacle of American literature...

...but seriously I really liked the green mile by stephen king. It is a bit of a fantasy in the real world type of book. My favorite book of all time is Lord of the Flies (fyi it has nothing to do with lord of the rings) Fahrenheit 451 and 1984 are both good too.

If you like the Da Vinci code (which I actually never read myself, but I pretty much know what it's about) you might like Foucault's Pendulum. Some people seem to be put off by how wordy it is, though. (It was not originally written in English, but you'd never be able to tell that from reading it. The guy who wrote the translation did a hell of a job.)

Almost anything written by Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov (I'm a big fan of the 'Foundation' series), or George Orwell.

If you want something that can really rock your world, read some Erich Von Daniken.

I don't read much but I highly recommend you to read this:

You gotta read these: 1984 by George Orwell Animal Farm by George OrwellMeinhard1

Those are actually two of my favorites. More classic than Lord of the Rings if you ask me.

Haha

American Psycho is the weirdest book I've ever read. Still now after a year of reading it, I can't decide whether the book is a masterpiece of its own kind or completely loathsome. I'm currently tackling the Holy Qur'an. Definitely a good book to read if you want to expand your horizon.RK-Mara

you know these novels like when the novel is not talking about fantasy, but it produce a sense of it by the way the scenario progresses and the characters interact.GazaAli

Try"The Dark Tower" by Stephen King...i got a good kick out of it.

The first book in the series is called The Gunslinger. Research it a bit and see if it's your cup of tea:)

I recommend the Count of Monte Cristo Unabridged and the Three Musketeers.

My favorite book of all time is The Brothers Karamazov and Brave New World. The Brothers Karamazov is very long, I think 1000 pages+ it was, but what a great book it is. It explores all the moral and spiritual tribulations of life. Brave New World is another great book that's much shorter and will likely become dear to your heart as well.
