You should read this. Really!!

Stumbling on Happiness
This is probably the best book which you have never read. It literally changed my life. As hard as it was, I started actually taking some people's recommendations without over thinking it or just outright rejecting them. No, not you, I will still reject your recommendations ;-)

This book is incredibly fun and easy to read, presents tons of information from tons of studies in very fun and surprising ways.

This doesn't make all recommendations equal, but some people on some topics are perfect and you should just trust them and try what they are suggesting. Like Pete on Restaurants in Chicago.


Summer Knight
Yes, this is book 4 in the series. No, do not start with book one. Book one was his first novel and the writing is terrible. If you like book 4, go back and start with Storm Front.

The series currently has 14 books, the last book, Cold Days, is one of, if not my favorite book of all time. The writing and story amazed me.

The stories take place in Chicago, present day, following Harry Dresden, wizard, PI. The writing improves greatly over the series and has moved (and my friends I make read it) to tears at times. What the hell?!!
The stories vary over the series, from vampires, to werewolves, to Fae, to zombies and ghouls, to pretty much everything super-natural, but they are NOT twilight books.


The Alera Codex
Fantasy. One of my favorite series.

The Last Hawk
Sci-Fi. One of my favorite books.
Role reversed society, which by reversing everything, puts our current societies into glaring light.
The major thread of the story follows a complex game and information exchange. We exchange information in a myriad of ways, the questions we ask expose things about ourselves that others can pick up. An interesting view at fictional way of representing information which will lead you to want to learn this game to see what you could see.
If you liked this, Read Primary Inversion, and then here is a reading list. (Link here)

The Way of Kings , Sanderson (link)
When this is done, it will be the best Fantasy ever written.
