Favorite Book???

[rhan]

The Kite Runner and Of Mice and Men

Both books moved me to tears.

 

[Ocho(*8*)]

Got to mention Margaret Atwood in any book thread. Oryx and Crake + Handmaid's Tale + reading the Blind Assasin now, all awesome.

Orwell's 1984 is definetely my all time favorite though.

 

[Mota]

Not in order.

Harry Potter.
Lord Of The Rings.
Eragon.
Some of those Star Wars side series.
Cherub.
Faeries Landing (Manga)
The Game.

Spoiler

*Ashamed* Twilight Saga lol

I cringed a little at the last one.

Maybe I just don't see the appeal.

 

[Dodongo]

I think cringing is probably the nicest thing one can do, considering, but I guess people can read what they want to.

I just started Cat's Cradle by Vonnegut and it's enthralling.

 

[Lythium]

If you like Cat's Cradle, give Breakfast of Champions a try. It's quite good also.

 

[Caleb Wolfbrand]

"Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami.

 

[D13]

Of Mice and Men

That book makes me sad.

In reality, I'm not a big reader. But whenever I read The Hobit, I get all happy inside. :]

 

[Shök]

I have to read A Clockwork Orange and Paradise Lost this year. From what I heard, those are some good books. Any good feedback?

 

[sammy p]

im a fan of Harry Potter.
also there is this series called the last appretcie!! (NOTTHE RANGERS APPRENTICE)
it is almost like the HP series(as it has witches, and Boggarts, ect.) but it kind of spins it around and everything in a complete NEW direction and actually works GREAT! i actually almost enjoy that series more than HP series itself! i HIGHLY recommend it!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Ive read it seven times and it is the perfect ending to the most perfect series (did I mention Ima harry potter fanboy) second favorite book? Order of the Pheonix. Then? Goblet of Fire. Then? Half Blood Prince. Lets just say all my favorite books are Harry Potter. But right now Im reading War of the Worlds and The Time Machine. Both very good books. Highly recomended

I'm half way through house of leaves right now, It's really great so far.

the books I mostly read are stuff by Chuck Palahniuk, and I also like a few of Brian Jacques books.

 

[Lythium]

House of Leaves is an excellent book. It's one of my faves. Right now, I'm rereading Slaughterhouse-Five. I forgot how much I liked that book.

To answer your question, Dikastis Shock: both are pretty good. A Clockwork Orange is a bit off-putting at first because of the slang, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty darn good. Paradise Lost is a tad long-winded but it has really great moments, especially with Lucifer.

 

[Dodongo]

There is no such thing as too much Vonnegut, it seems. I have a bad tendency to think whatever book I'm reading at the moment is my favorite, but it's just as well for two reasons: because I'm reading Catch-22 right now, and because there really is no way to pinpoint a favorite among the literary giants who never cease to impress me whenever I read a familiar book for the second time.

I have to read A Clockwork Orange and Paradise Lost this year. From what I heard, those are some good books. Any good feedback?

ah yes clockwork orange is real horrorshow, I recommend it.

and has anyone read Pygmy? I want to read it, but there is no where to check it out right now, and I was wondering if it was even any good...

 

[victra♥]

Battle Royale =P

I really liked the Kite Runner as well.

 

[Osco316]

Cat's Cradle is great!

It's the only Vonnegut I've read, sadly. I need to pick up some of his other books.


however, to answer the topic title, my "Favorite Book???" would have to be the Harry Potter series.

I know that it's not a (single) book, but I can't really pick which is my favorite.

 

[peregrine monkey]

Philip K. **** is an amazing Sci-Fi writer, his books are all about looking at reality in different ways. Recently, I've read two of his books, Eye in the Sky and A Scanner Darkly, both of which have been eye-opening.

Also, I don't like Harry Potter. Especially Deathly Hallows. Highly unsatisfying ending, IMO.

Don't kill me.

The ending to the last Harry Potter was one of the worst endings to a book that I've ever read.

Oh and The Zombie War is really good, I'm reading it atm.

 

[Scott!]

I have to say Harry Potter. All of them, really. I'm too much of a fanboy to be able to rank them. Each one has some significance to me. I practically know the first one by heart. Not that I can recite it, but when I'm reading it, I know every single word as I get to it. That's why I can't reread the earlier books.

Other books I'd rank highly: Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, McHale's Pendragon series, the first three books of the Foundation series by Asimov, and LoTR. Also, I thoroughly enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot collections that I've read. The Hound of the Baskervilles was especially masterful.

 

[Jonas]

Now I'm probably just being unoriginal, but I'm gonna have to say the Hitchhiker series.
I don't know which of them is my favorite, but it's probably Mostly Harmless.
