Comic recommations that i would recommend to read:

http://www.thenoobcomic.com/ - Its funny comic that tells adventures Ohfort'sake(naming error at creation) in online gaming world Clichequest. There are currentle more than 200 episodes in this one.

http://www.seraph-inn.com/ - Second comic is more fantasy/anime style comic. The story of Inverloch centers around a young man named Acheron, from a horned wolf-like race called the da'kor. After a chance encounter with an elf, he finds himself setting out on a seemingly innocent mission - that of trying to locate Kayn'dar, another elf who has been missing for the past twelve years. There are more than 600 pages in this one.

http://goblinscomic.com/ - Third comic tells tales of goblins, Life through their eyes in world that uses Dungeons and Dragons 3.0 rules(or some parts of it). I must also warn that this comic sometimes contains scenes of extreme violence. It is not suitable for younger readers.

the sandman is supposed to be a really good graphic novel (comic book if you will)

but my favorite book of all timeL
100 Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

get some Borges short stories if you want your mind to be blown sufficiently

I've recently read "Gates of Fire" by Steven Pressfield.
Very very very good!
For those who don't know what it's about, it's placed in 480 Β.C. ancient Greece. King Xerxes of the Persian Empire plans to conquer Greece and then move on to the rest of Europe.
The book gives a look at life in ancient Greece but focuses mostly on the Spartans.
It all comes down to the battle of Thermopylae.
On the 3rd day of battle king Leonidas and the 300 Spartans along with their Thespian allies decide to stand and fight knowing they will soon be surrounded by the Persians.
Trust me this book will give you the chills!
