ADOLESCENT (lol):
- Julie of the Wolves (plus related books) - My Side of the Mountain -Animorphs (I never got to finish this series, and still want to, but I'm a little embarrased) Literal Epics are EPIC: -Monkey or Journey to the West -Romance of the Three Kingdoms (still need to finish. Don't mind the pictures at the top of the link, just scroll down.) -The Mahabharata --related: The Bhagavad Gita (might be slightly too religious for your taste) |

Classic sci-fi, especially if you're into telepaths and mind-powers:
Sturgeon, Theodore - More Than Human Bester, Alfred - The Demolished Man / The Stars My Destination (both excellent) Herbert, Frank - Dune I won't recommend Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land though, because it is boring. Fantasy: Bakker, Scott R. - Prince of Nothing -trilogy (The Darkness That Comes Before, The Warrior-Prophet, The Thousandfold Thought) Hobb, Robin - The Farseer -trilogy (Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, Assassin's Quest) Crime: Larsson, Stieg - The Millennium -trilogy. (Men who hate women / The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played With Fire, third issue English title not yet known, but available in Swedish or Finnish  ).I can reommend Larsson to those who like thrillers but would like a slightly different take than your usual ass-kicking, smar-cracking detectives or the Poirot -class geniuses of deduction. The first issue of the Millennium -series has two titles, the latter one is more usual because the UK/US publisher thought the original title was "upsetting".  But it is superbly written. |

Really...damn, I picked up Stranger for free. Oh, and... WESTERN/SCIENCE-FICTION/FANTASY -The Dark Tower by Stephen King: Just remember, [Paraphrased from King] the joy is in the journey, note the ending. |
