From your grammar I'd assume any books would help you learn the English language, asspipe.

j/k

That would be fantasy/comedy IIRC

Have you read the Ender's Game series?

nope... is that like fantasy??

I dont like reading books that go on and on and on and on.... (I mean the story continue from book to book to book etc etc), unless its very good (like LOTR)

Well there's your problem - most excellent fantasy/sci-fi books are serial, multi-volumed. You don't know if you'll dig the series until you read the first book (or two).

I'd suggest the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, personally.

 

[z0mb13]

Also I have a short attention span... unless a book gets good pretty fast.. I will ditch it..

Er, I read the original post twice and am not seeing bad grammar... informal maybe, but bad?

Anyhow, that's weird - I just finished Angels & Demons too, yesterday in fact. Was good but I thought the Code was better, more polished. Can't really recommend much in the way of sci-fi / fantasy, except maybe for Stephen King's "The Eyes of the Dragon" and, of course, LotR. I'll recommend Lee Child's novels, they follow the same guy but aren't a series, so you don't have to read them all or read them in any order.

We just had a thread like this last week with 30+ replies. Search is your friend. But as for my 2 really good ones:

Snow Crash
100 Years of Solitude

If you want a good fantasy book series, then read the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R R Martin. Lots of people here will recommend it.

[BatmanNate]

Anything by Robert Heinlein, Frank Herbert, Ray Bradbury, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Aurthur Clarke, or even C.S. Lewis is good for starters.

I like him ordinarily, but I thought Prey sucked. Was like a Seagal or VanDamme movie in paperback.

Best series I have ever read, without a doubt.

House of leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is a really cool book too, really weird and not for everyone.
