If You Like This Book, You Might Like...

[TheSailorGeek]

This is intended to be a book reccommendation thread. If you see a book listed on this thread that you are familiar with and you know of another book that someone might like based on their reccommendation, then you reccommend that book. Get it? For example: Someone says that they reccommend Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, then someone else might see that and say "If you like that book you'll love The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield", then someone else might see that and say, "If you like Thirteeth Tale you might enjoy Northanger Abby by Jane Austen," and then Mysteries of Udolpho by Ann Radcliffe, and so on and so forth. (Sorry, I'm a Brit Lit geek)

Anyway, I'll get the ball rolling with a some better known works. Feel free to respond to any of the titles listed above or below.
-The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
-The John Green canon
-Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
-Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
-The Watchmen by Alan Moore

Oh, me too! A book within a book? Incredible. I've been meaning to look that one up.

[Alleywater]

Kind of like Walt Whitman in Paper Towns. I need to read that poem too.

[TheSailorGeek]

Thanks. I've always wanted to read Udolpho and then Northanger so I can have the proper context. Did you see the movie "Becoming Jane"? Jane Austen actually meets Ann Radcliffe in that movie. I was like, "Ahh! No way! Did that happen???" I'm pretty sure they made that up for the movie, though. Still, that would have been a cool conversation to sit in on.

[Alleywater]

Yeah I saw that. Northanger Abby was Jane's first book, but didn't get the best reviews. Which I don't know why, I thought it was a wonderful book.

Becoming Jane was such as awesome movie. I couldn't stop re-watching it.

If you like the Twilight series
YML
Bram Stoker's Dracula

I mean, srsly. How has nobody suggested this yet?

[Pilár]

now they wouldn't, half of the people who've read twilight are neither mature nor sophisticated enough to read through and enjoy Bram Stoker's Dracula

[Ariel D-M]

Because they aren't at all similar, nor are they for the same type of audience. Bram Stoker can write, Stephanie Meyer can use a thesaurus. Bram Stoker wrote horror, Stephanie Meyer wrote Mary-sue.

Last week I was SO CLOSE to taking a tour of the real Dracula's castle in Transylvania. It was canceled because not enough people signed up for it. I was pretty pissed.

[Moueska]

I would have been, too.

YML
The Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde, wherein the main character travels into fiction and interacts with characters like Jane Eyre, Miss Havisham and the Cheshire Cat (who due to boundary changes is now the Unitary Authority of Warrington Cat). It sounds like bad fanfiction when written like that, but then that's why I don't write reviews

Re: the Watchmen: The Sandman series by Neil Gaiman
Orson Scott Card: Enchantment
If you like Jane Austen, read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. Gothic.
The Space Trilogy of C.S. Lewis and also Till We Have Faces
The Silmarillion by Tolkien. Trust me, it all clicks after the first 80 pages.
Survival of the Sickest; nonfiction, but purely fascinating.
David Sedaris' dress your family in corduroy and denim. Serious LOLs
