-the shining
-

i think i can only borrow 5 which should i borrow/reccomend books based on the above list

Stranger in a strange land

You should borrow Notes From Underground - Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Cosmos is a bit boring, I think the universe and everything is great and all that but i dont need to read an entire fucking book about it. idk thats just my opinion maybe you'll like it.

Dune is so fucking overrated, but I agree with Ender's Game -- although personally I prefer Ender's Shadow, which follows Bean during the same time period on the same space station. That little guy's smart as hell.

Is the Author of "Cosmos" Carl Sagan?

wtf kind of culture should be based on some semi intellectual science fiction novels.

Hermann Hesse:
*Steppenwolf
*Narziss und Goldmund
*Gertrude

The two latter ones I found especially useful in learning about being an artist. Recommend for anyone interested in creating art, whatever form.

I see you've put in a few non-fictions, despite the thread title, so..

The Revolution of Everyday Life by Raoul Vaneigem
True Hallucinations and The Archaic Revival by Terence McKenna

I think the idea of a forum is kind of that everyone puts in their unique perspective and an observer reads the thread as an amalgamation of ideas and thus, a slightly more culturally objective whole. But whatever..

• Michael Crichton's Next, Prey, and Andromeda Strain
• Chuck Palahniuk's Choke, Rant, and Survivor
• Dean Koontz's Whispers
• Nicholas Evan's The Loop
• Max Brooks' World War Z

Regarding clichés, I might as well suggest Eragon, Eldest, and the Harry Potter series. All of those aren't half-bad, but I'm not one to critique books.

what he said

ps there not all sci fi, watership down is like rabbits doing lotr which is clearly fantasy

also
