Growing up I also loved Edgar Allen Poe and Shakespeare.

You basically just listed some of my favorite books of all time.

I also recently got a beautiful leather bound book that has a collection of all of Poe’s poems and short stories. I have another one that’s similar with a collection of HP Lovecraft as well.

I also love everything, that is related to Shakespeare. He is a true writing genius for me. And if you're a fan of him as well, you can simply visit this article about [Link Redacted] to make a recall about the basic things from his awesome plays and writing works. I love such literature.

I have a leather bound Poe one too! I don't have any physical copies of Lovecraft, though. Biggrin

Hello everyone, this is going to be my first post.

First of all, I have read lots of English, Turkish, and Kurdish novels so far. I must confess that I loved every piece that I had read. Thanks to @Oni, I will read all that s/he suggested except The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexander Dumas because I have already read it.

I will share some books that I loved and that I will read soon.

Books I have read and I loved;
1 - Kuşlar da Gitti (The Birds Have Also Gone: Long Stories) (1978), by Yashar Kemal (Kurdish Novelist)
2 - Ağrıdağı Efsanesi (The Legend of Mount Ararat) (1970) – by Yashar Kemal (Kurdish Novelist)
3 - The Slave (1962), by Isaac Bashevis Singer
4 -Enemies, a Love Story (1972), by Isaac Bashevis Singer
5 - Hannibal Series, by Thomas Harris
6 - Søren Kierkegaard - Fear and Trembling
7 - Seneca Ahlâki Mektuplar (Epistulae Morales or Letters from a Stoic)

Books I will read;
1 - Prince, by Niccolò Machiavelli
2 - The myth of mental illness, by Thomas Szasz
3 -All books of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
5-Foucault - Histoire de la folie a l'age classique
6-All Books of Oliver sacks
7 - Other novels of Yashar Kemal.
8 - All books of Thomas Mann
9 - Rhetorica ad Herennium, by Cicero.

I hope these books might be a good suggestion for you. I really liked what read and I am happy to be sharing them with you.

Those written by Kevin Mitnick.

Very Informative to say the least.
Great books I just finished the art of deception and i am starting the art of invisibility
Ive also read the political zoo at a fairly young age it was fairly entertaining but it does have a slight right wing bias. One interesting part about the book is that is was made in 2006 and it had trump in it as a balding eagle.

I have no doubt that you'll enjoy The Art of Invisibility.

I've read all of Kevin Mitnick's releases and I must say, he's one very talented SE'er.

For me it was Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach. Dunno why but it kinda defined my formative years (at least before I went to high school and discovered Isaak Asimov).
