Suggestion Quest

[vovat]

I've done memes like this several times in the past, and I haven't seen anyone else do it recently, but I'm in the mood to solicit some suggestions, so why not?

Recommend to me:

1. A book you think I should read
2. A video game I should check out
3. A musician/band I should look into
4. A blog/journal you think I might like (and don't suggest your own LJ, because I'll check that out anyway if you comment)
5. A topic you think I should cover on my own journal

If you want to give more than one suggestion for any category, or you can't think of anything for one or more of them, that's fine with me. It's all very informal, you know?

I had never heard of the Percy Jackson series until I read this comment (almost a month ago.. hello delayed replying :P) but I looked it up and thought it sounded cool since I love YA and Greek myths. Then I was bored in an airport a couple weeks ago and picked up the first one. I'm definitely enjoying it! It has some Harry Potterish elements, I guess (not that I'm saying HP is super original or that this book steals from it, but someone who enjoys one would probably enjoy both), but it has more of a sense of humor. It's fun! Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for the recommendation, even though it was meant for vovat, and I would also now recommend them to him. :)

You're welcome! that's the sort of thing I live for! Yes, and it's not like Harry Potter WASN'T funny, but I was actually surprised how often the Percy Jackson books make me laugh out loud.

I recently started reading The Lightning Thief, and I've definitely been enjoying it. It's definitely Potter-influenced, but has its own style of humor.
