I expect the VR community to EXPLODE in participants once this hits the big screen.
If you haven't read the book (or if you have) and like Wil Wheaton... get the book on kindle and add Audible narration ($17.48 USD total). I've listened to it 3 times during my commute to work over the past few months. It's only ~ 13 hrs of audio so it goes by quickly.

Having already experienced the book, there's a certain expectation...so I'm hoping the movie does the book justice
Here are the ebook versions!
Ready Player One
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea - FREE
No Country for Old Men
Princess Bride
This is that book that's going to be turned into a Spielberg movie and that seems to be very well-liked by /r/books. Amazon's Kindle store has it on sale for the same price, too.
You could check out Ready Player One
Kindle
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.
Red Country by Joe Abercrombie.
I love books, reading is one of my favorite hobbies and it's much easier now since I recently bought a Kindle Fire :p
My favorite book series is The Dark Tower series by Stephen King because it does traveling between different dimensions pretty well, and when I finished the series it gave me so many feels :(, feels that still stay with me today. Plus Roland is one of my favorite characters ever. My friends got into the Game of Thrones books, while I got into The Dark Tower series, they called me a loser because I 'wasnt reading what other people where' but the series is so worth it.
I've really been wanting to read Ready Player One I've heard great things about it.
Also I hope you have been enjoying The Hunger Games, I read them all in a one month span last summer!
I absolutely loved this book. It is set in the Amazon and is jam packed with action and adventure. Amazonia
Also, I just finished this book last night. One of the best books I've read in a while!
Ready Player One
Just finished Orwell's 1984 about a month ago and I'm close to finishing Ready Player One. Both have been really great. As far as spiritual reading, I'm always reading something by St. Josemaría and am currently reading Chesterton's St Francis.
Oh if you like dystopian, then check out Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. Awesome fantasy - Patrick Rothfuss The Name of the Wind. And a really cool non-fiction survival story is The Tiger by John Vaillant, about a man-eating tiger terrorizing a village in Russia.
Totally check out the library, most these days do inter-library loans within counties or regions, so if they don't have any of the above, you can request them for free. Enjoy!
[Ready Player One] (http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-Ernest-Cline-ebook/dp/B004J4WKUQ) by Ernest Cline. One of the most talked about books on r/booksuggestions and a fantastic read. Really easy reading, well written and bucket loads of fun.
There is one glaring omission from the books list!
Ready Player One is the best cyberpunk book I've read since Neuromancer.
Not only does it have a great plot, great characters, and excellent virtual worlds, but it is as much a love letter to the 1980s as it is a cyberpunk novel. Definitely check it out!
Leviathan Wakes, Ready Player One, and Wool are probably my top 3.
I love this book
Yeah, Mr. White! Yeah, science!
Happy to!
Awaken Online is an awesome example.
You might have heard of Ready Player One - Spielberg is producing the movie. IMO that one is one of the best books (for nerds) ever, but it is only considered to be 'light LirRPG' book.
well don't do ASOIAF, the kingkiller Chronicles, Dresden, or the Gentlemman bastards unless you like unfinished series.
I reccomend
The White House Boys This happened about 45 minutes from my house. I dont really read biographies, but this .. wow..
The Wool Omnibus It's actually 3 books of books in this series, but it works as a standalone. It's about a post apocalyptic world and all of humanity lives in a silo
Tortured dreams it's the first book of the dreams and reality series, basically a sociopath chases down serial killers
Ready Player One By now you should know what this is about
Rewinder Ever wanted to change history? this is for you!
I'm going to have to recommend Ready Player One. The book was an AWESOME read!
Awaken Online,
Life Reset,
Dungeon Born,
Dodge Tank,
Sufficiently Advanced Magic,
and I believe Ready Player One also fits the LitRPG description.
I'd toss in a few plus add links for those who have Kindles
[This book] (http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-ebook/dp/B004J4WKUQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1BGV2L2FWNXQM&coliid=I2OARYCHD7XAVK) looks great. Its "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. It looks like a great post apocalyptic novel.
I've been dying to read Ready Player One!
I don't think you wanna live through me this weekend, it's pretty boring, I'm probably just gonna play video games all weekend. Happy Friday
Thanks for the contest!
I'm stuck at work for 10 hours today and 12 hours tomorrow so any extra reading material would pretty much be a god send. Haha. I can only read so many trashy free books at a time. Gotta break up the monotony of it all.
This book was recently suggested to me and I'm really curious to read it. I've heard quite a few good things about it.
"Ready Player One" is an awesome book - I couldn't put it down!
This would be my choice!
I know you specifically asked for not fiction, but the book Ready Player One is great, and people in the VR industry are working towards building similar worlds.
If you like Wool I highly recommend Ready Player One.
If you enjoy 80's culture, video games, or dystopian futures you'll love it. Wool was actually recommended to me because I liked this book so much.
I want to read Armada by Ernest Cline because I really enjoyed Ready Player One. I know it won't be as good, but I feel like it would still be interesting. If you haven't read Ready Player One yet, I highly recommend it.
I feel this way about Ready Player One RIGHT NOW. I read that book in a cafe in one sitting. Started in the morning, didn't know I'd be exiting at night, and I miss being part of a place that doesn't exist.
Ready Player One It takes place in a bunch of places, but it's fast-paced and lots of fun.
Just finished reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (awesome read btw) and that video makes it feel like the beginning of the Oasis. Looks pretty cool.
Try Ready Player One. It's about a world that's become obsessed with this virtual game, but there's a conspiracy and an interesting dynamic between online personas and real life. If you like audiobooks, Wil Wheaton narrates. (BONUS! The ebook is on sale for $2.80!) and if you have any passing interest in SF, definitely read The Martian. It has math in it AND I DIDN'T EVEN CARE IT WAS THAT GOOD. Basically, an astronaut gets left behind on a mission to Mars and must survive on his own...
Spielberg didn't do the book cover.

Ready Player One?
Have you read Ready Player One?
and I assume you also use the amazon.com marketplace on audible? (ie audible.com and US dollars). If that's true I would guess your settings are set up for amazon.com kindle books too, if you can buy kindle books on .com and use the whispersync feature (again it would charge you in USD).
An easy way to check is to go to amazon.ca and see if you are able to buy a kindle book. My guess is, it wont let you and say you have to go to amazon.com (obviously unless you have been changing your country settings recently).
Because yes, I am very sure that it doesnt work with an amazon.ca account. The audible.ca rep I spoke to said as much... although I guess they dont always give customers the right information.
What I found out is you can change your country settings for Kindle though, in your amazon account management. And so I just had to give it a US address and it transferred my books over without issue. And because I already had the book on audible.com (I assume) whispersync started working. In the future if I want to use whispersync I will just switch my country back to Canada to buy the kindle ebook (so I pay CAD with no conversion fees) and then switch back to use whispersync. Unfortunately I think I would be stuck paying USD on audible though, from what I can tell.
Hopefully they do implement whispersync in canada, I think its a good feature and definitely a reason for me to buy kindle ebooks over kobo. But to be honest, unless its a quality narrator/cast for the audio book, with all the hassle that it took me I will probably just stick to ebooks and using my iphone's screen reading ability to read the book to me. Its not as good as an audio book but its a lot less hassle. Until they bring the whispersync feature to canada properly anyway.
Last: Skin Game by Jim Butcher
Now: Shogun by James Clavell
Next: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Kindle work?
If you haven't already check out Ready Player One by Ernest Cline Its an ode to early gaming and the 80s in general. Adventure is a key plot point.
Book! Ready Player One
Bacon Pancakes suggests that I would also find [this book] (http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-ebook/dp/B004J4WKUQ/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=C5PBU8NSZ95H&coliid=I24QZTO9LSMJ0L) interesting
Ready Player Oneis a funny tour through geek humor wrapped up in a neat storyline that is full of mysteries. Hey and at 16 bucks an hour!!!
Rats Saw God, Kindle is OKfor me if I win.
If you guys like the idea old school games and easter eggs (and love to read), check out the novel [Ready Player One by Ernest Cline] (http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-Ernest-Cline-ebook/dp/B004J4WKUQ)! Basically a dystopian sci-fi novel set in the future, but has all the 80's gaming pop culture references you can imagine. Very similar to Ender's Game. I couldn't put it down.
edit: formatting
We actually have an e-book in common: Ready Player One, but it's over your price limit. From the rest of your book list, I think you might like The Remaining, it's not a sure thing, but it seems to be similar to your interests.
I've been reading the Hyperion series, and they are great! I really hope you get a chance to read them. I randomly picked one up at the bookstore one time and my SO loves them as well!
If you haven't read Ready Player One I highly recommend it. I learned so much about classic arcade games (more 80's but still great) from this book.
ALL Gamers should read this.
