Thanks for the suggestions guys, I’ve PMed a mod to ask about adding a poll.
Right, suggestion time is over, so we have three suggestions.
White Fang by Jack London - to quote Svenshinhan: "It’s a short novel first published in 1906.
It’s about a wolfdog, named White Fang, born in the wild and later introduced to civilization. It compares the animal and human worlds while also delving into issues of loyalty and morality.
It’s not too difficult to read, relatively short, very cheap to get (can even be read for free online as it no longer falls under copyright law) and in my opinion very entertaining. Some parts of it can even be a little philosophical and/or educational. Other than that, it’s also just a very nice story."
Illusions by Richard Bach - to quote Win Laik Pya: “it’s short and pretty easy to read. It’s massively entertaining, highly philosophical, and downright fun. I believe it’s still under copyright law, so a trip to the local library would be in order.”
Dracula by Bram Stoker- to quote me : "The story is relatively well known, and is about a vampire named Dracula who moves from Transylvania to England and starts to bite various people, and so is hunted by Van Helsing and gang.
I think what makes the book really worth reading though, is how it’s written. The story is told through the diary excerpts and letters of the different characters. This means that you get to see each character’s point of view, and really get to know and feel for a deep character behind each of them. It’s exciting and has a lot of nice touches to it." (This would also include the optional extra of reading Carmilla at the same time)
I’ll edit the first post of the thread to put these suggestions in it, and I’ll let you all know about voting when I’ve heard back from the mod
