I want to read some good books, I recently read the 57 Bus, really good book, and im currently reading On Fire also pretty good. Once im finished I dont know what to read, I plan to buy some older books like Catch-22 or Fahrenheit 451 but want to see if there's any other greats, I should check out first. Im open to anything except Twilight style books, Harry Potter, Divergent, Hobbit and things like that, basically Im not super into Hardcore Fantasy. Cheers

Not even trolling, if percy jackson had a good adaptation, i feel like its an ez billion dollar franchise. They need to start working on some movies and have some good screenplay and casting.

I would substitute Fahrenheit 451 with A Brave New World. Fahrenheit 451 is so surface level where the plot and the moral of the book just jump at you.

Do be warn, i found “A Brave Nee World” to be a bit of a chore to read. Fahrenheit 451 is definitely more digestible

All good, I don't mind reading things with a bit more density, ill pull through even if it seems like a chore.

It’s actually a light read, just a bit annoying since the details are so sparse you’ll have to fill in the gaps with your imagination. One of the more interesting yet more frustrating books I’ve read

I'll make sure to look into, read a quick little summary (like one sentence) and it definitely sounds enticing.

Also, if you haven't read Sherlock Holmes, then please do ( the original works only, not the abridged versions)
Hounds of Baskerville is one of the best stories/mini novels of Sherlock Holmes

I was considering them but for some reason I'm put off to the idea of watching/reading something I have a vague idea of. For example, I've never watched the Lion King despite knowing how amazing it is. I'll definitely check them out since I have been contemplating reading Sherlock Holmes for a bit now.

I understand what you mean but trust that Sherlock Holmes is worth the read
