What's your favorite book(s)?

[metroixer]

Ah yes we all know books. Little pieces of paper with a piss of life inside of them. I wanted to know if anyone here has a favorite book.

I love the book

White Fang from Jack London. What makes it so great I don't know but it's a mighty fine book.

I am also currently reading

The Count of Monte Cristo from....Some french dude I forget. :P

This book is turning out good so far with a new memorable character in each chapter.

[Kimon]

Animals Farm = Sweet.

Also, I dunno. Other sweet books. I'm hopefully getting Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy for Christmas. So yeah. Funky.

[Cullen Heath]

Im currently reading The Hobbit. I know Im a bit delayed in the sequal but hey its a very good book. One of my favorites is The Outsiders. I love that book. Has anyone else read it, its very good.
I also like The Downsiders(no its not a sequal, just a coincodence) a lot, very good.

[used:)]

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West owns all.

[Nate]

I just bought that the other day but I promised myself I wouldn't start it until I finished the other book I'm reading (which is proving a bit of a struggle to get through).

[Cullen Heath]

What book are you currently reading?

[odd chick]

Animals Farm = Sweet.

Yeah, I enjoyed that book when I read it. I don't know which book is my favorite-I've read quite a few and liked several of them.

Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy That book rocked. Now I also have the DVD of the movie too!

[Cullen Heath]

Never read the book, but the move was great.
I liked the part when they are walking and those things keep swatting them in the face.

[Leto]

Well boys, looks like we got ourselves a reader!

Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy That book rocked. Now I also have the DVD of the movie too!

Yes, you read the book, didn't you, yes? It is great, but it was greater before everyone knew about it.

[/sour_puss]

Lol, I recently read a most terrible but great book. A budget Castlevania book adaption straight out of the eighties, it was a most amusing read.

"Dude, your hair is rad! Are you from Metallica or something?" says the teenager in the bathroom. "No, I am from Castlevania!" replied Simon. "Yeah, dude, I have all your cds."

It's stale, it's poorly written, it's so rad man!

I also like gonzo and Naked Lunch.

[Havoc]

I loved Dutch crime novels called: Baantjer. Their pretty cool. I've read quite a lot of em.
I'm also a big fan of (big surprise) Lion Boy . I love that trioligy, even though the third part is still to be released. Initialy I bought it because, hey, it had a talking lions in it. Thats cool! But when I was reading, I found out that the story was actualy realy good and I got addicted and it eventualy even made me start writing my own novel which is losely based on those novels.

[Salamander]

Also, I dunno. Other sweet books. I'm hopefully getting Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy for Christmas. So yeah. Funky.

oh man, those books are great, ive got all five of 'em, but the movie, sucks

hey Metroixer, the count of monte cristo is brilliant, haven't read the book but i saw the movie, its great.

but me..... i really don't know, so many good books, discworlds good though

[Dancing Steef]

Hrrm... I don't read much books, but the best ones I've read were Maud Mangold's stories; "The Mahogny eye" and "The Copper key"... I'm currently reading "The Mission of the Fool" written by Robin Hobb and it's very exciting. I've also read J.R.R Tolkien's "The Two Towers" that one was a good one as well

[OANST]

I don't know about favorites but here are some good ones-
Dune-Frank Herbert
A Wizard of Earthsea-Ursula K. LeGuin
Brave New World-Aldous Huxley
A Game of Thrones- George R.R. Martin
To Kill A Mockingbird-Can't remember.

[Cullen Heath]

To kill a mockingbird!
That is a GREAT book.

[Kimon]

Well boys, looks like we got ourselves a reader!

BILL HIX FWT!!!!

I dunno. Walden?

[OANST]

What are you readin' fer?

[AquaticAmbi]

I'm including comics 'cause I'm cool like that.

Blankets by Craig Thompson
1984 by George Orwell
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Stranger by Albert Camus
Lord of the Flies by William Golding
I feel Sick/Johnny the Homicidal Maniac/Squee! by Jhonen Vasquez
The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen

Yeah, a lot of classics and stuff. Mmm... books. I wish I had more time to read these days. It's not fair and sort of ironic that school takes up so much time that I can't do something educational on my own.

[Cullen Heath]

I dont like comics(no offense)they are stupid. Theyre not books.

[Leto]

Speaking of which, I genuinely like:

Maus
The History Of Comic Books
Akira

[TheRaisin]

Heh... wow. It's been a while since we had one of these threads.

My favorite book was, and still is, The River Why. It's odd, considering I'm somewhat fanatical about science fiction and The River Why is so far from it, but it's absolutely the best thing I've ever read. HUZZAH!

I've also become a great fan of Howard Phillips Lovecraft. For my B-day, my mom special-ordered a copy of The Library of America's Lovecraft collection. It's over 700 pages, and it's thick and black and has a little blue ribbon bookmark thing sticking out of the spine. It's as beautiful in appearance as its contents are horrifying and macabre. ^^

I also enjoy the Discworld series and practically anything that could be considered classic science fiction, and I'm a fan of Douglas Tennapel and Jhonen Vasquez, graphic novelists extraordinaires.

I read too much.

[metroixer]

oh man, those books are great, ive got all five of 'em, but the movie, sucks

hey Metroixer, the count of monte cristo is brilliant, haven't read the book but i saw the movie, its great.

but me..... i really don't know, so many good books, discworlds good though

There's a movie? Explain please I am curious.

[Leto]

Douglas Tennapel

Sweet shit, he is indeed a genius. I should get a back catalog of his thingies.

[AquaticAmbi]

I dont like comics(no offense)they are stupid. Theyre not books.

Uh-huh... And what was the last comic you read? Garfield?

There's books out there that are more like "illustrated novels", but obviously you've never seen one. They have every element of novel but told in a different form.

[Rex Tirano]

Ambi means like manga books, graphic novels. Theyre my fave type of book. i love them. i have like 70 manga books. Fushigi yuugi is my afves series.

manga=anime=sweet awsomeness, bitches ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^

[odd chick]

You know, I forgot about To Kill a Mockingbird!! That one's definitely my favorite out of all the books I've read. Yes, manga is teh awsomeness...ness. I don't read a lot of it, but the bit that I've read is pretty neat.

[The Marching Mudokon]

I love Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein, The Shadow Over Innsmouth by H.P Lovecraft and A Clockwork Orange (among others )

[Cullen Heath]

You know, I forgot about To Kill a Mockingbird!! That one's definitely my favorite out of all the books I've read. Yes, manga is teh awsomeness...ness. I don't read a lot of it, but the bit that I've read is pretty neat.

How To Kill A Mockingbird is sooooooooooo good.

I really dont like manga though.

[The Marching Mudokon]

I love Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. An extremely funny (and random) book.
I like manga, I'm reading the Battle Royale series at the moment but it was a bit confusing at first because I wasn't reading the scenes in the right order half the time.
