That depends on the field of your interests. How about the Lord of the Rings by Tolkien? That's my favourite book in English.

Say: 'Can you recommend a book?' because your structure implies the notion: 'I recommend you (for the job)' or 'You recommend me.' You have mish mashed two things. I'm said I feel favorably toward the object of the verb recommend. You are trying to say: 'Please recommend a book to me' where the book is being recommended, the thing I am in favor of your reading

"Can you recommend me some books?", because for me it's a normal question-- In your own language? It is not normal in English. Each verb has its own relationship with its predicate, and 'recommend' does not take an indirect object.

Ah, so the order is wrong, "Can you recommend some books for me" would be right if I understand you right. How Mister Micawber said - in my language is that really different, we don't have to care about the order of the words like in english, so it's kind of difficult. Thank you.

If you like Fantasy, I assume you have already read (or "you are already reading" since they are still on-going) both Jordan's The Wheel of Time and Martin's A song of Ice and Fire. I would also recommend Zelazny's Nine Princes in Amber saga, a masterpiece in the genre, together with Hobb's The Liveship Traders trylogy.
Outside the realm of Fantasy, I like Chuck Pal

I love reading, although I mostly read in my native language when it comes to reading in English, there are some great books I'd recommend you to read in the source language. For instance, you should check out "Harry Potter..." books, "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, "The Green Mile" and "Pet Cemetery" by Stephen King, and many more.
