Book recs?
GIP. The perfect icon for paranoid rants. Har har.
Meanwhile, I bought the cheapest Fellowship of the Ring DVD (one of those in special offer at magazine stands, you know; it's so cheap it only has one disc: the movie one). I'm not such a fan to waste so many movie in extended versions with documentaries and cast members going slashy. The movie is enough.
Anyway, I wanted to ask you guys something. I'm getting my public library card next Monday, so I'll be reading a lot this summer. So I'd like you guys to give me book recs. The library is not that big and a lot of cool books are not even translated into Spanish (as I discovered when I wanted to buy some Diana Wynne Jones books... meh), but I'll be searching for all suggestions just in case.
Just so you know, the genres I prefer are fantasy, mystery, terror, adventure, sci-fi... The only "realistic" books I tend to like are murder cases. Still, I'm also looking forward to read classic books even if they're real-life styled, as long as they're from an older time setting, not contemporany (i.e, Charles Dickens or Jane Austen books are okay, since they're Victorian, or historical-based fiction like Dumas books.)
So summing up, I'd like you to tell me which books you feel I should read, either because you feel I should love them, OR they're classic ones you think everyone must read at least once in a lifetime. Thank you in advance :)
