I'm so glad Siddhartha has been mention!! It is one of Hesse's most beautiful stories of inner peace and the search for your own meaning of life!! 😄
Okay here are my suggestions:
-Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess (seen the movie? Well, the ending is totally different in the book)
-Tales before Tolkien:The roots of Modern Fantasy (an Anthology of earlier Fantasy writers that inspired Tolkien)
-What is Art? by Leo Tolstoy
-Inferno by Dante
-Journey to the East by Herman Hesse
Ender's game,ender's shadow, anything ing the ender's game universe.
Robert jordan's wheel of time.(Warning, it's long series and long books)
(I have read "interview with a vampire" but not the other ones. Got to get to them.)
Animorphs.( it's not nessesary that you read them all in order, it's a series that's not really connected to each book. Just for some relief, because it has 9 side books and 54 regular books)
Remnants and everworld are also recommended.
Northern Lights; that's the English title... Golden Compass, thats the American... the publisher's just thought that Golden Compass fitted better with the other two titles, as it has a colour and an object in it, aand they were worried that an American audience might fail to realise that the books were related to each other...
I recommend:
Ricky - Ricky Tomlinsons Autobigraphy. He bares his soul in this book, His rough times and his good all make this book what it is. I wasn't a huge fan of his but after reading this I respect him hugely.
Ten Thousand Sorrows - Elizabeth Kim, A True Story about a Korean war orphan, A Harrowing Tale but a great read.
Birthday Girls - Annabelle Giles Great Fiction for women, about 6 women of different ages and social stature. Very Funny.
That's what I recommend for now...
