Heyy Steemers, I thought I'd make a list of books for people like me who don't find it nearly immposible to find good books and to get stuck into reading them. All 5 books got me hooked from the start and I downloaded all from the Kindle app on my android app on my Android phone.
- Jpod by Douglas Coupland
This is my all time favorite book . I found it in a book exchange in a backpacker hostel in Thailand over 10 years ago and I've read it 3 times! It's just so random and funny once I start reading it I just can't put it down. They made a TV series based on the book, but it doesn't do the book justice. I've tried reading other books by Douglas Coupland, but I just couldn't get into them. The funny thing is that from the amazon reviews that I've read, people seem to think that this is one of Coupland's weaker pieces work!? But it's the only one that I've really enjoyed.
- Shit my dad says, by Justin Halpern

I accidently downloaded a sample of this book when I downloaded the Kindle app, I'm glad I did because it's hilarious! I never thought that I could burst out load laughting while reading, bu this book did it to me many times. It's also a heart warming story about the bonding between a father and son. Awsome read!
- The Unfortunate death of James Douglas O'flaherty
I stumbled upon this one in a Facebook post, it was written by a friend of a friend of a friend in Sydney, Australia. It's very self reflective, funny, a little sad and encourages you to stop procrationating with your life and achive your goals and live your dreams. My only complaint is it is a little long in the middle and could probably do with 1 less chapter, but the start and end are awsome.
- Welcome to Hell: One Man's Fight For Life Inside The Bangkok Hilton, by Colin Martin
I read this whole book in 1 day, I just couldn't put down. I'm a real sucker for these type of locked up abroad stories, I alot like another of my favorite books not on this list, Martching Powder. It a true storie of the terrible conditions and courption of a Thai jail, where the author spent 7 years.
- Root for the Villain: Rap, Bullshit and a Celebration of Failure, by J-Zone
I love the concept of this book, It's the autobioghy of a hip hop musician who never succeeded. His lastest album so sold 48 Copies! However thats not to say that J Zone sucks, he is very highly regarded among his peers and hip hop legends, such as Biz Markie, Cee lo Green, Dangermouse ... And is often claimed as your favorite producer's favorite producer. I think we can all relate to being the underdog and no one appriciating our tallents. It's funny, a little depressing and very relatable
I hope you guys enjoy these books, I'm trying to read as much as I can these days so if you have any other book recomendations please write them in the comments bellow!
