My Favorite Books ever in a list! (No Star Wars Please)
« on: January 05, 2017, 05:01:55 AM »
I would love to see what other people read besides Star Wars so I created a small list of books that I personally enjoyed through-out my years of reading note this list will probably have a ton of military books since I'm probably going to end up joining the US military.
Fiction: (forgive me I'm not a big reader of general fiction)
Metro 2033
The Alchemist,
Itachi's Story part 1 and 2

Military Fiction (Tom Clancy style books)
Anything with Jack Ryan and Jr
Red Storm Rising
Black Ops by WEB Griffin

Military Non Fiction
American Sniper
Damn Few
No Easy Day
Carnivore
Delta Force
Puerto Rico's Fighting 65th US Infantry From San Juan to Chorwan
I do have more favorite books but I didn't want to make this list to long, Tell me what you think and leave some of your suggestions down below so I can pick up these books and read them.
Bonus section
Manga
One Punch Man
Dragon Ball
Naruto
Death Note

Some of my go-to fiction for re-reads:

Harry Potter (JK Rowling)
Sharpe (Bernard Cornwell)
Hornblower (CS Forester)
Jack Ryan (Tom Clancy)
Redwall (Brian Jacques)
Swallows and Amazons (Arthur Ransome)
Where Eagles Dare, Golden Rendezvous, When Eight Bells Toll (anything by Alistair MacLean, really)

Non-fiction tends to be mainly railway/model railway related at the moment.

Anything about Jack Ryan is always amazing writing, I've been reading them since I was in middle school, and I read Harry Potter when I was very young and for whatever reason I don't like them now, so I might have to go back and read the series again

I would recommend them. They are very good reading. I would add as honorable mentions
Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Tale of Benkei to historical fiction as they are based on real events but embellished quite a bit.
