[silverwolf801]

my favorite novel is Artemis Fowl The Opal Deception

[thief.13]

i like catcher in the rye(JD Salinger) and to kill a mockingbird(harper lee)

[Thelindra]

mine is the Harry potter series^^

[Lan]

My favourite book are the series Wheel of Time-WoT

:doindadom

[thief.13]

read the HP series and my fave among the 6 is the sixth.but it's not my all time favorite. i like the narnian chronicles better.

[Shinji]

I've read "Sjörövarbok" about 100 times. So that has to be my favorite.

[_strangechild_]

Fiction-wise... Alice in Wonderland? Battle Royale?

[Undying]

Mine is the Wheel of Time -WoT (just like Lan... if you read the book you'll know who is Lan...) and the Bromliad Trilogy by Terry Pratchett.

[Nomadic Dragon]

Mine is either the Lord of the Rings series or the Sword of Truth series(which by the way is WAY better the WoT). I kind of switch between them.

[Chobi]

Harry potter and the goblet of fire or Arn (swedish book)

[ade.hell]

Of course my fanfics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(if someone knows polish i can send them to him)
But besides of it ... hm... Bleach, "exorcyzmy, opętanie, demony" ("exorcisms, posession, demons")

[Naeko]

My favs are The Lord of the Rings,End of the World and the Hard-Boiled Wonderland by Murakami Haruki and Fight Club from Chuck Palahniuk.And Kitchen by Yoshimoto Banana.

[thief.13]

Fight Club was a nice movie.havnt read the book though.

[Icestorm]

wheel of Time here aswell, though i do like sword of truth but prefer wheel of time

[Makaze]

His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman-better than HP

[Naeko]

Fight Club was a nice movie.havnt read the book though.

The book is also nice,altough a little..weird :)

[thief.13]

can i ask in this thread whic books you liked that were adapted to movies? :) please tell me if i shouldnt...

[Stupid Ninja]

The Cobain Journals
It's pretty good, its really good even you didn't appreciate or enjoy Nirvana's music.

Right now I'm reading The Adventure of Huck Finn and thats turning out rather well too. So I'd say that you may like to read that if you like Sattire and older adventures books.

[thief.13]

hey i've read that when i was a kid! loved it. tom sawyer was fun too!gosh! i just remembered they're my favorites too...

[aezirka]

My fave would be The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. I can read that book over and over again.

[yamiX000]

Mine would have to be "The Cabinet of Curiosities" so far.(Novel)

[thief.13]

My fave would be The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. I can read that book over and over again.
i have that too. :) was crying my heart out when i read it the first time back when i was thirteen. ahh, that was a bittersweet story.

[aezirka]

Agreed. That book is so inspiring.

Another book would be The Gift of Acabar by Og Mandino. Made me cry, too.

[thief.13]

i havn't read any og mandino... he's a filipino writer,isnt he?

[aezirka]

Is he? I don't think so.

[thief.13]

yeah i think he is.my friend likes him and has all his books.

[aezirka]

Hmmm. there's no mention of his nationality in Wikipedia. Anyway, he's a great author! I also like The Greatest Salesman in the World.

[choking]

lord of the rings and boy meets girl...

[UraharaTenchou]

i like john grisham..lol

[Slayer~]

Hmmm....I cant decide between "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown or "Memoirs of a Geisha"(The book was way better than the movie) by Arthur Golden

[Thelindra]

=O u read Memoirs of Geisha already....so good....i cant wait to read it...

[thief.13]

watched the movie and loved it.

[Slayer~]

The book was SO much better than the Movie!

=O u read Memoirs of Geisha already....so good....i cant wait to read it... Already? Memoirs of a Geisha has been out since *checks book* 1997! I've had it for 3 years tho and read it like 5-6 times =P

[UraharaTenchou]

[Thelindra]

The book was SO much better than the Movie!

Already? Memoirs of a Geisha has been out since *checks book* 1997! I've had it for 3 years tho and read it like 5-6 times =P

[Sandal Hat]

I don't have one favorite but the ones I like the most are the Narnia, LOTRs, and Harry Potter books

[UraharaTenchou]

wow, fantasy based person..yea, but fantasy can be too much though..lol..i can't get the description of the fight or whatever..

[thief.13]

I don't have one favorite but the ones I like the most are the Narnia, LOTRs, and Harry Potter books

didnt like LOTR that much but i enjoyed the movies.read the othertwo series though.but i think Narnia is better.

[Thelindra]

i kinda realise.....i prefer fantasy book.....like books from forgetten realms...HP....Narnia(read half way)....LOTR (a bit)

[WizKid77]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Catcher in the Rye are two of my all time favorite books and highly recommend everyone to read it at least once in their life.

[Rabid_Wolverine]

I really like Dan Brown books. I've read the Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress.

[aezirka]

i want to read the da vinci code. people are raving about it.

anyway, another fave of mine would be Bless Me, Ultima.

[sith29]

My favourite is definitly "Dune" by Frank Herbert

[UraharaTenchou]

king of torts by john grisham...
gerald seymour too..

[Slayer~]

My favourite is definitly "Dune" by Frank Herbert
Definatly worth reading again...If I could find my copy! *Gets Angry*
I really like Dan Brown books. I've read the Da Vinci Code and Digital Fortress.
Is Digital Fortress any good? Im in the middle of the Da Vinci Code and Im loving it!:doindadom

[Thelindra]

i have dan brown bk but nv read it X_X

[sith29]

Definatly worth reading again...If I could find my copy! *Gets Angry*
Is Digital Fortress any good? Im in the middle of the Da Vinci Code and Im loving it!:doindadom


Yup "Dune" i definitly worth reading again. I read it 6 times already:redbiggri And "Da Vinci Code" was good also. The ending was suprising. i never ecpected that it will end like that:winking56

[Ethanol]

All of Dan Brown's books are great reads. For me, it goes in this order.

1. Angels and Demons
2. Davinci Code
3. Digital Fortress
4. Deception Point

I don't know, but I like Angels & Demons a lot more then DaVinci Code...

[strydr]

Well, i havent read many books, but i collect many books - but the books i have enjoyed the most were the Trilogy, The Twilight Zone... really cool science fiction about the 5th dimension. i havent read anything recently

[Pipp-ORK]

Dune, To Kill A Mocking Bird, Prestor John, Socrates In Love, The Narnia series, and for manga; Angel Sanctuary and Designated Destruction. :doindadom They're all tied, heehee.

[Ethanol]

Kill a Mockingbird...ooo that is a good one. The movie is also good as well.

[Pipp-ORK]

Agreed, TKAMB is a friggin' AWESOME book. :doindadom I didn't really like Dill, though. :P

[Ethanol]

Yeah....I think everyone was a fan of Atticus Finch though

[CardboardTubeSamurai]

To Kill a Mockingbird is an amazing novel. I recommend Wuthering Heights if you can get through the beginning. I love the Bourne Supremacy. Overall favorite novel has to be The Count of Monte Cristo. It’s a great movie as well.

[Kaia]

I'm not much of a reader. The only books I've read recently are Harry Potter. XD There was one book I had to read for school a few years ago I really liked though, The Catcher in the Rye.

[Felonious Funk]

I'm not much of a reader.

I'm in the same boat as Kaia. In fact, my last favorite book would probably be in third grade; that book was Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein.

[Spike427]

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or The Client by John Grisham, trust me the HGttG is a way better series then the movie.

[KuroShinobi]

i just finished memoirs of a geisha.. it's a nice book! very emotional and the author sure knows how to put his words.. i haven't even seen the movie! TT.TT

i ve only read dan brown's angels and demons.. all i could say is it's very addictive but not good for reread.. sometimes it's too heavy that your head starts spinning..

[yumisan]

yay..dan brown books are interesting.i like reading his books.lol but i can't read it the second time because it is going to tear up and my sis will kill me.><
i curently finding a book call empress orchid and memoirs of geisha.
looking forward to it then

[saycheese]

i dont have a fav atm, coz i dont read much books. so could someone recommend me one? and i really like orginality, but hate things that are too fake to even make any sense. if theres any book that fits that criteria let me know plz

[thief.13]

i've read most of john grisham cept for the bleachers and king of torts and skipping christmas and i liked them.but my fave among john grisham books is the brethren.

i like Dan Brown's Deception point better than the da vinci code and angels and demons. havnt read digital fortress yet.i recommend to say cheese:Catcher in the rye by JD salinger coz it's my all time favorite.

and holden is a fake hater. he likes english but fails at everything else. but he's really nice inside although he often gets kicked out. he's a nonconventional truly original anti-hero hero so you'll love him just as i do.

[thief.13]

Kill a Mockingbird...ooo that is a good one. The movie is also good as well.
yeah. one of my all time fave books. saw the movie. really killed me.

[Planeswalker]

Hard one...probably Lord of the Rings I guess since Ive read that the most times.

[ADMBird]

One of theese.
Kira-Kira.
To kill a moking bird.
The grim groto.
Olives ocean.
Watership down.
His dark materials.

[thief.13]

@ADMbird:hey, you read watership down too?

[M-50]

my favourite books are the Harry Potter series, the Animorphs series and the Artemis Fowl series.

[ADMBird]

@ADMbird:hey, you read watership down too?
that was a nice book.creepy rabbits living in a platonian system..
Yup, got to love creepy rabbits.:doindadom

[Shinji]

One of theese.
To kill a moking bird.

That's a really great book. I've read it three times and seen the movie once.

[SmallKid57]

this is a close one... to kill a mocking bird is really good... err but then again there is also Lord of the Rings... i think im gonna go with To Kill a Mocking Bird... there's more depth...

[ADMBird]

To kill a moking bird rulls all.

[Rmage]

I have a few...

Catcher in the Rye
Harry Potter (Prisoner of Azkaban, Order of the Phoenix)
Dragons of Autumn Twighlight
Dragons of Winter Night
Dragons of Spring Dawning
Dragons of Summer Flame

[Sunfire249]

[FascionViktem5k]

If you guys are interested in Japanese things... which you would be since this is an anime forum... i would definately recommend Shogun to you guys... very good book... kinda lengthy but it's worth it... n i agree with Sunfire...

[thief.13]

satanic verses by salman rushdie is banned in my country...but i still see it in smaller bookstores...

[Tachibana]

Pillars of The Earth for me

[M_Ghey]

A storm of swords by George R.R. Martin. Amazing political fantasy.

[Rokusaburo]

A good clasic for me would be "The Good Earth"

anybody heard/read it?

[Naeko]

who have written it?

[lmegera]

Pearl S. Buck wrote the Good Earth

my fav: Encounters with the Archdruid by John McPhee

[ILoveYouSoiFong]

THE LITTLE PRINCE by Antoine de Saint-Exupery

[Taters!]

Propably the Dune series by Frank Herbert.

[Naeko]

Pearl S. Buck wrote the Good Earth

my fav: Encounters with the Archdruid by John McPhee

Ok,i red it and I like it :) (it has a totally different title in Hungarian translation)

[ILoveYouSoiFong]

THE LITTLE PRINCE by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is the best.

The Little Prince is the 3rd most-read book of all time. Aside from the Bible and the Koran. :)

It's simply the best.

[Ikuto]

the frankenstein series by dean koontz still waiting for the last book though

[ILoveYouSoiFong]

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery is the best.

[Shinomori]

Little prince is terrible.

:P

You can quit spamming about your book now. :)

Uh........."The Areas of My Expertise" by John Hodgman.

The funniest book ever.

[ZangetsuTensaTensaZangets]

Money and Power
i love that book

[Ios]

the da vinci code
that book really rocks

[Tatsumaru_Ishida]

hmm I love the Drizzt series by R.A. Salvatore. Tho there are other book enjoy that are just too numerous to mention

[Nyao]

-Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa (the only book I can remember that I voluntarily read twice...and would read again)
-The Sun Sword series by Michelle West
-Watership Down

Manga:
- Bleach
- Angel Sanctuary
- Chrono Crusade

[Quiet Demon]

Hawaii - James A. Michener

A semi non-fictional documentation of the creation of and history of the Hawaiian islands.

Sounds boring but is actually really entertaining.

[UraharaTenchou]

Little prince is terrible.
:P
you are not alone to say that..

[konberry]

Tales of the Otori trilogy
Artemis Fowl series
The Nightwing series

[Kaori-chan]

I don't have one specific favorite, but here are some from my favorites list:

The Wheel of Time Series by Robert Jordan
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien
J.R.R. Tolkien, Author of the Century by Tom Shippey
The Hitchhiker's Guide Trilogy by Douglas Adams (yes, I know that there are actually 5 books :P )
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Geisha, a Life by Mineko Iwasaki (or Iwasaki Mineko if you want to use Japanese name order, but I wrote it American style since that's how the book prints it)

Those are just the ones I thought of just now, but I think that covers most of it. The only order they're in is the order in which I thought of them.

[skyde534]

Sabriel, by Garth Nix. The whole death thing is just so cool, in my opinion. I don't care too much for the other two in the series though.

[pylar]

Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy... I LOVE those books. Seriously. I hve them memorized. I can open them to any page and know exactly what is going on.
Anything by Garth Nix really... I've read them all. I LOVE the sabriel books, and I am beginning to like the Weekdays books too.
cecilia dart thornton - the bitterbynde trilogy. A bit too wordy sometimes, but I liked it.
Life of Pi... I'm not usually into religious books, but I loved this one. Good message.
The Goldan Compass books by phillip pullman, classic.
Discworld series by Terry Pratchett... I love dry british humor, and these crack me up.
Stephen king... anything connected with the dark tower series (which is 3/4 of his books)
the Neverending Story
A Song of Ice and Fire by George M. M. Martin (sooo good)
Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
The Melencholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories by Tim Burton
Ivanhoe
Ender's Game
Stranger in a Strange Land
Um, Harry Potter (haha, have to, I guess :P )
Timeline by Michael Crighton... I know its cheesy, but it is what made me finally realize I want to do archaeology with the rest of my life... either that or quantum physics, but I don't like math :P

[Sarteck]

Without a doubt, my favourite book[s] would be the Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn "trilogy" by Tad Williams ("trilogy" in quotes because the last book, "To Green Angel Tower, is divided into Part One and Part Two). I've read the 3000+-page trilogy several times since I bought it many years ago, so much in fact that I recently ordered new copies (my old ones are now bound together with rubber bands from heavy usage, and this from someone who is very careful with his beloved books).

I can't really describe why I like it so much... Something in it just tugs at me. The storyline is undeniably superb, and the detail is excellent. It's not the boring bits where some authors would go on for seven pages describing how someone's hair looked while being blown by the wind, but neither is it the "see jane's Hair" type either. XD The plot twists so that even I, who am not usually suprised at things in fictional works, was suprised. Moreover, it was quite realistic, as well. Finally, like what drew me into Final Fantasy VI when it first came out, there was no single hero/heroine. There are a multitude of characters, and the world Williams creates affects THEM more than they affect it.

[Hachimata]

My favourite book? "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah" by Richard Bach. It has a brilliant message to it, and it's amazingly written. a very inspiring story, even to an atheist like myself.

[konberry]

The Goldan Compass books by phillip pullman, classic.


did you read all three books? Amber Spyglass was so neat!~:toocool:

[pylar]

yeah, I did! several times lol. I really really really wish that we had daemons... cause I'm a geek like that lol.

[Megan]

I was pulling random books off the shelf in a library just to see if I could pick up anything good and I happened to like Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0689856393/102-7189274-6867345?v=glance&n=283155). The ending of the book made me tear/cry a bit which hardly ever happens with me for books.

[Kaori-chan]

Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan

Awesome! I haven't met many WoT friends outside the Dragonmount roleplaying community. Have you read all of them, or still working your way through?

[Megan]

Awesome! I haven't met many WoT friends outside the Dragonmount roleplaying community. Have you read all of them, or still working your way through?
My dad reads those books. He insists that I should read them but they aren't my cup of tea for some reason.

[pylar]

Awesome! I haven't met many WoT friends outside the Dragonmount roleplaying community. Have you read all of them, or still working your way through?

Funny you should ask... :P I have finished them all, and he has begun to redeem himself for the trainwreck that is books 8-10. I belong to TarValon.net actually.

[konberry]

yeah, I did! several times lol. I really really really wish that we had daemons... cause I'm a geek like that lol.

I know!!! that would be sweet~ I want....a dragon!!! or a unicorn.... or something better.......:doindadom <----------that. XD

[Hits]

Has anyone actually read A Million Little Peices? Oprah glorified it so much and it was called a bestseller yet I haven't met anyone who read that book.

[Chrono Detector]

The Witch, The Lion and the Wardobe was indeed a very good book. I haven't seen the latest movie remake yet, but I will once it comes out on DVD.

[Uzhul]

Anybody who reads Black Library will know this one. The Eisenhorn Trilogy by Dan Abnett
