I just want some books I can read on my spare time.

I’m thirteen. I don’t like girly books.

I like fictions, mysteries, and comedies.

The books I’ve liked so far were…

A Series Of Unfortunate Events
May Bird
Artemis Fowl

Can you recommend some good books close to those?
No mangas.

The way I see it, mythology is a style of writing. Spy thrillers can be fiction or non-fiction, Mysteries can be fiction or non-fiction.

In modern pop-culture, Obi Wan Kenobi did not lie to Luke Skywalker when he said that his father died. He created a myth!

Alright, so I’ve never really been an avid fan of the mystery genre. I have only ever read two mysteries: And Then There Were None and Death Comes as the End, both by Agatha Christie.

Suddenly, however, I feel compelled to read some sort of mystery fiction sometime soon.

SEX IS OKAY.

VIOLENCE AND GORY DESCRIPTIONS ARE OKAY (both when explaining the murder and examining the body)!

BOOKS THAT BASICALLY CENTER ENTIRELY AROUND BOTH THESE THINGS ARE NOT OKAY. I am looking for something in the mystery genre, because I am interested in reading a mystery. I don’t want to pick something up that is basically about the sex life of a detective who happens to be solving a crime during the time of the plot.

I would especially like books that allow you to guess what happened before the end of the story, but this is not a requirement. Consider this while suggesting novels or authors, but don’t let it be your only concern. I’d like some variety, anyway.

Other than that, anything goes, really. :] Like I said, though, variety is good, so try not to recommend a bunch of the same thing.
A side note: Technical, legal stuff is okay up to a certain point. I don’t mind having to look a definition up now and then. However, I also do not wish to be forced to have entire pages translated online, if you understand what I’m saying.

I am 24 and I enjoy reading fiction – mostly romance or some mysteries. I like reading books where I find out unexpected things or where the characters do things that they maybe should not (such as having affairs). Any ideas? Thanks!

If not, what genre do you enjoy? I personally love to read science fiction and fantasy, especially “Doctor Who” and “Harry Potter” books. I also enjoy reading Westerns, Mysteries, and even a little History once in awhile.

I have been an avid novel reader and have mainly read thriller, mysteries, etc. I have enjoyed medical thrillers immensely although I have read some law and techno thrillers. All of the stuff without any real merit lol However, I want to broaden my horizon and begin to read about real life events, topics, people, etc. I need to start with some non-fiction books that are exciting enough to hold my interest, and then I will sort of “wean” myself from this need for excitement.

Does anyone have non-fiction titles to start with? It doesn’t matter the topic, just needs to be interesting and reasonably exciting.

Thanks in advance for your answers!
