i dont know wether people have a favourite book, but it would be interesting to know - post your favourite book, or author or both here, sorry to mods if this is in the wrong section but the media section, the description is for tv, music, movies, radi - if it should be in there then please move it
my fav book: A Darkness At Sethanon (fantasy)
my fav author: Raymond E. Feist (wrote my fav book, ive read about 12 of his books)
the Icewind Dale series by R.A. Salvatore, any Steven King
finally someone has replied ;)
ive never heard of that but i ahve heard of stephen king, good author- i havent read any of his books though
I really like reading "the goosebumps" series by RL Stine
The Giver by Lois Lowry is a classic. Also, I like to read plays, usually existentialist playwrites (however you spell it, don't care enough tonight), like Stoppard, Ionesco. I'm also huge into Sartre, I have to read more of his work, he was a pretty interesting guy. Probably my favourite fiction novel (that I can remember) is Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime by.. Something Holland.. I forget his first name.
Any of David Baldacci's books. The Simple Truth is my favorite one.
I'd have to say the Harry Potter books. I love em.
harry potter is fading out..he was gay anyways..
I like mainly the Lemony Snicket books..and yes I started reading them before the movie came out..they are kinda of childish but still great storylines :D
I have always liked some classic literature. To Kill A Mockingbird, Huck Finn, etc. I also like the Lord Of The Rings books.
yeah, i love that book too, and its Mark Haddon (jsut looked on my bookcase, i dont like it THAT much)Quote:

I'm a Tolkein obsessive... If you want proof, ask blue..... Just need to go and make my offerings to Eru now, If you'll just excuse me.... :D
heh, i knew you would psot on this :D
i like a lot of fantasy and stuff, but lately im getting into John Grisham and James Patterson, im 13 but im a crazy reader. the da vinci code was prolly one of my fav books even tho its chock full of lies :(
im gona start reading that, but im uin the middle of reading some atm so.. oh and like you, i read loads too, and im only 13 - yet i only seem to read the same style, fantasy - i need too get reading other stuff
Hmm... all time classics would include:
Farenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
War of the Worlds - H G Wells
Lord of the Rings (+ The Hobbit) - J R R Tolkin
The Foundation Series - Heinlen
Dragonworld Series - Ann MacCaffery
Stainless Steel Rat Series - Harry Harrison
Dune - Frank Hurbet
and then there is the best all time Sci Fi, which depends on theme so:
Footfall - best all time invasion earth book
Jack Ryan series by Tom Clancy
Red Storm Rising - Tom Clancy, one of the best modern war books
I mean I could go on for ever. There is no real best ever book, it realy depends on what style, subject etc that you can decide. Sorta like asking, whats your all time fav. movie?
/end Rant
Dantes Inferno ranks up as one of my favorite books, because of how dark it was. Another favorite of mine was 'The Giver' - just an amazing book.
The sad part: I know what he's talking about. <_<Quote:

lol @ minor. i am also a huge fan of clancy, reading splinter cell, the bear and the dragon, and a couple netforces at the moment, i just fineshed "the lake house" and "when the wind blows" by james patterson, AWESOME series. . .or not really, more like a sequence. i used to be majorly into fantasy, loved the "wheel of time" series by robert jordan, but now im into more stuff like action/drama and stuff. im reading some john grisham as well, he has some amazing books. just finished the pelican brief, i loved it.

rofl at the deeps :p
:) thats us
It's teh deep revolution :D *pokes top sig*
I dont like any books
^that one owns and this is a stoopid topic
I like magazines! Car and Driver, Motor Trend, and PC World.
Oh, I forgot... anything... Anything...ANYTHING... ANYTHING except for Margaret Atwood novels. Fux0rz her feminist influences and her self-esteem boosting writing style. I don't care that she knows 5 different words that score you 60 points in Scrabble! (Read The Handmaid's Tale and you'll understand). But the ideas of the book were ok, it was just the writing style that was awwwwwwwwful.
i have 300+ books in my library, so you could say i love books.
Farenheit 451 would have to be one of the all time favs, but then i reckon you young wipper snappers wouldn't have heard of such a book.
Oh we all know it Metal, it's just if you only read books that the school assigns to you you'll never read it because it's banned everywhere.
