hmmm lets see outside protocols by this crazy writer Dale Johnson :-P
and after watching first 2 seasons off game off thrones i bought all the books, George R.R. Martin is the writer off this great fantasy story.
Allmost forgot all the work off Zecharia Sitchin who has radical new theory's witch might be a bit Provocative and compelling. Genesis revisited, Divine encounters, The cosmic code, when time began, The lost realms, the wars off gods and men, the stairway to heaven , the 12th planet.

The History of Magic (English translation of the 1860 Histoire de la Magie edition).
It is so good that Aleister Crowley not only claimed he wrote it; but he was also a reincarnation of the author (Eliphas Levi).

As time goes along this topic might grow and grow with replies, SFF if it isn't an inconvienience would you be able to keep the first post updated with some sort of list? Someday i might want to look for a book to read, it'd be nice to have some sort of table to reference.

I haven't read much books in years... i used to love reading. It's really hard to think of all the good ones. Some of my favorites from when i was a high school student include the J.R.R. Tolkien series, and I enjoyed books by Gary Paulson, especially "The Transall Saga". There was an interesting one called 'City of Gold and Lead' or something like that (3 book series), the christian adult series of Left Behind is like 15 400 page books, the ones i did read, were interesting (fiction based off the bible). Farenheit 491 (or something like that) was a classic, and Brave New World is a classic. Mathew Reiley wrote several action books that were interesting, including Scarecrow, and The Contest, which were interesting. Ender's Game, is a classic, (and theres another one, i think it follows it don't remember the name). This is all i can remember off the top of my head atm. i have read probably over a thousand books though, but it was all years ago, when i was younger and had tons of free time (and lived across the street from the local library).

I have seen this one.. SFF, you'reading subtitles ic? :P (j/k)

Winnie-the-Pooh by Alan Alexander Milne belongs to first ones.
Later (and I mean school alone) I was changing library's cards
(~300 books records each) 6-7 times a year and was reading

everything everywhere anytime, so was known as a walking
encyclopedia. eBooks era started not yesterday + PC user
from 1995, so it's difficult to count. Lately I like short stories.
