SOME 7WA7 PUT A HARRY POTTER SPOLER IN HERE, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHATS HAPPENED, LEAVE NOW.

I've plenty of time now I've finished uni.

I've got loads of games, loads of films, but never been much of a reader.

Anyone recommend anything, new, old, and good which I could go and pcik up :).

Anything with a bit of mystery and suspense to it would be good :).

Anyone recommending Mill's and Boon or Lord of the Rings will be shot :P.

Oh, and I read The Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress, entertaining, I guess, but so many holes that they're laughable, so somehting immersive and believable would be quite good :).

I recommend Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the depiction of societys' decline is basically what it's about, very readable

Almost anything by George Orwell is very readable, such as Animal Farm (underlying meaning of Russian Revolution) and 1984 - the style and delivery is way above par - worth a read

Of the classic turn of the 20th Century Modernistic books is Metamorphasis by Franz Kafka - when you get around the slightly frilly language the book is very good, about a man who wakes up to find he's a beetle; and how he copes with his friends and family
