My favorite. I liked this book so much that I tried writing my own (vastly inferior) take on it but with prehistoric animals on this very forum (which I still have yet to finish).  Other novels I liked include: - Much of what Michael Crichton wrote (e.g. Jurassic Park, The Lost World, Timeline, Prey) - The Martian Chronicles (Ray Bradbury) - A Long Way Gone (Ishmael Beah; this one's actually a memoir) |

It’s thrilling, to say the least. But it also resonates with readers on a deeper, interpersonal level. |

As far as fiction goes, The Dresden Files (fantasy/murder mystery) by Jim Butcher is pretty high up there. If you have a book series where a private detective (who is also a wizard) rides on a resurrected Tyrannosaurus (Sue specifically) powered by Polka music while Chicago is destroyed in a zombie apocalypse and it feels normal compared to all the other crazy stuff, you know you're reading something awesome. This meme sums it up well. Other than that, I also like Worm by Wildbow ( free superhero web-novel), Harry Potter (needs no introduction, but I wish the author was less ... problematic), and The Expanse by James Corey (science fiction with pretty sound science). As far as non-ficiton, some books by Richard Dawkins (particularly The Greatest Show on Earth, but also The God Delusion) and books by similar authors (e.g. Schermer) are guilty pleasures of mine, although I've long grown out of my "Reddit atheist/skeptic" phase. I also have tons of books about animals and dinosaurs, most of them in German. The Dinosauria by Weishampel, Dodson, & Osmolska, and Forest Planet by Markus Mauthe deserve special mentions. |
