Good books in English

I want to read 1984 (George Orwell), I happen to have the book in English and I will start to read it soon. But I was thinking, we are often taught about our native country literature and there must be so many good books we're missing just because we don't know them. I read Animal Farm and I loved it, I think those books are quite known so, do you know any good book in English you would recommend? :)

I recommend No Comebacks. It's a collection of short stories by bestselling author Frederick Forsythe. This book is quite possibly the most dog-eared book that I own. I love every story in it. Give it a try.

Thank you for the recommendation! As soon as I finish 1984 I will give it a try!

ooooh. we have the same taste in books :grin::grin:

you might want to share some titles?  

I love sci-fi so Isaac Asimov's Foundation Series is pretty good if you are into sci-fi (with elements of socio-political stuff in it ) 

Victor Hugo's Les Miserables

They say this one is good too! 

Dune. Do not pass from this mortal coil until you have read this phenomenal sci-fi classic.

Someone has read "The lord" of the flies"? I've heard it is a good one.
