serious fiction i've read that i might actually like

Winnetou - by Karl May.

i actually kinda like this story about the journey and friendship kind of thing.

i was quite alarmed when my dad told me that Karl May suffered from some kind of personality disorder that made him imprisoned, and that he wrote this book in jail while sort of pretending he really did experience what he described in his book, although in reality, he's a German who's never been to America, let alone all those places he described so intricately. shocking.

Angels and Demons - by Dan Brown

this is my favorite book by Dan Brown, considering that i have also read the Da Vinci Code and Deception Point.

i've noticed that all three of the Dan Brown books i've read are highly pack with action and twist and turns that are really interesting, but i've got to say that Angels and Demons win hands down.

although the story SOUNDED unrealistic at the beginning, when i read on i realized it's playing on the thin line between being imaginary and wait-a-moment-this-may-happen-heck-who-knows. which, to a person who's imagination sometimes runs to wild like me, is very intriguing. *hey, did i spell that right?*

anyway, this one has good good action.

The Stand - Stephen King

well, everybody says that Stephen King is a genius, so no more to say.

but it took me weeks to persuade myself to even read this. its thickness is monsterous. it just looked scary.

nevertheless, i just read it to rub myself off of studying. hehehehhee.. =D

Lord of The Rings - by JRR Tolkien

great great great.

although, if you're an easily bored person like me, i recommend just watching the movies. much better.

i watched on discovery channel or something that Tolkien wrote it based on his own life and his involvement in the World War. whatever. it's a great story anyway.

The Five People You Meet In Heaven - by Mitch Albom

wow. it's just very interesting.

makes you think about who will be the five people YOU meet in heaven.

if you're lucky enough to be in heaven anyway. haha.

i haven't read any Mitch Albom books besides this, though. i heard Tuesdays With Morrie is good, but i think it's non-fiction.

anyway, that's it for now.

i'll post more serious fiction and not-so-serious fiction later on that i've read.

any suggestions on good books i should read on an probably-below-average intellectual degree, let me know.

cherio! =)
