A Scanner Darkly is story about a drug war in a dsytopian future that was made into a bizarre [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping]semi-animated[/url] film starring Keanu Reeves of (bill and ted,speed, the matrix) fame. which of the 3 should i read first.

      • Don't know the titles in your first post, but... well, if you just want general recommendations, stating what kinds of books you already like might be a good start. Without that base though, all I can do is recommend my favorite. In my case, I recommend Wheel of Time- book one being titled 'The Eye of the World' by Robert Jordan. WoT is the single greatest book series written in all of time, and I cannot possibly let a book thread go past without talking about it simply due to obligation for how great it is. The following of the book is sort of like a cult following, but that's not because few people like it- it's because few people know about it (despite the fact that pretty much every book has been a best seller). I'd look into it if I were you- it's in the Fantasy Genre.

          As burritosenior recommended, "The Eye of the World" by Robert Jordan. But be warned, it's the start of a 15 book series, each book being around 700-800 pages (excluding the relatively brief prequel published after Book 11).
