I love Le Morte D'Arthur. And lots of other books. |

I used to read all the time when I was younger, and I guess I sorta grew out of it, since I don't read anymore.
But one book stands out and I actually still have it, is the "Starlight Crystal" by Christopher Pike. I've had it since I was a teen and I think the last time I read it was about two years ago. |

Let's see:
The Hitchhiker's series. Oh hells yeah. Tick Tock by Dean Koontz. Possibly the only good book he wrote. The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul by Douglas Adams. It's the sequel to Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Maus. I got this book at a school fair a few years back. It's very good if you haven't read it. Anything by George Carlin. The man's a genius. I still have to read through A Clockwork Orange. It's been sitting on my shelf for so long. I have shitloads of comic collections. 5 Calvin and Hobbes treasuries, 4 Garfield books, 3 Far Side collections, two Dilbert books, PVP At Large, a Foxtrot collection, the Spy vs Spy ultimate casebook, and the past three years of Far Side calendars. The Onion collections are great reading as well. Trust my reading list, for it is allmighty. |

"The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy" - Douglas Adams
My all time favorite book. The "Dragonlance" series - Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman This is a great series for all you RPG fanatics (Including me) Back in gradeschool I read alot of the Goosebumps series to rack up a bunch of reader points. I won a little TV that year |

You know, past Goosebumps back in the day and Calvin and Hobbes I really couldn't get into any one book/series. Not to mention my reading comprehension blows and I'm a slow reader (though, writing skills are the complete opposite). |

Definitively the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin.
It is a great epic fantasy story with many characters, parallel plot lines, good and very interesting narration. I didn't read his fourth book A Feast for Crows yet, since I'll have to finish some books for universits beforehand |

Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH will always be my favorite children's book.
I also enjoy Fox in Socks. Moving on, I enjoy Neil Gaiman's American Gods and Good Omens, as well as a vast majority of the Redwall novels, the Narnia books, the third Harry Potter book above the others, Tolkien reads like a fucking bore, the Hitchhiker series is good, and I also enjoyed the Red Dwarf novels. I'm not much of a fan of John Steinbeck or Stephen King or John Grisham or any of those other current authors, they seem very, very bland in comparison to the fantasy/science fiction novels I usually read. I also like George Carlin's style in the comedy books he's written. Terry Pratchett is a genius, primarily for his books Mort, Sourcery, and Hogfather. As for plays, I enjoyed Hamlet over most of Shakespeare's other stuff, as well as The Importance of Being Earnest from Oscar Wilde, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail from an author I can't remember, and Much Ado about Nothing as one of the few other Shakespeare works I enjoyed. And that's about it. I've read a lot of books. Those are some of the stickouts. Never, ever, ever read Toni Morrison's Beloved. |

The Blending series by forgotwhodamnit
-Great books, interesting to say the least. Lots of Science fiction books, Ray Bradbury's F 451 comes to mind. 1984 of course, and naturally, many more. Lord of the Ring / Harry Potter are givens. |

I really liked the Catcher in the Rye when I read it in HIgh school . Can't think of any other books . |

Terry Pratchett's books about the Discworld.
Stephen King - The Girl who loved Tom Gordon, Salem's lot. Damn, who wrote that book about Captain Nemo and his subvmarine? I donīt know the english name for it but itīs one of my favorite books. Lord of the Flies by William Golding is also a very good book. Shows the humans true nature. Thatīs it for now. |

Das Kapital by Karl Marx ... actually not really ...
Personally, I read whatever comes by my interest ... no particular genre, but some my favorites would have to be: Oedipus Rex by Sophocles. -Read it recently and by far classifies as one of my more preffered plays. Much farther than George Bernard Shaw's Man and Superman ... it's not about superheroes ... ;-; The Screwtape Letters by C. S. Lewis -I really enjoy reading any of Mr. Lewis's books, really. I just find him to be an excellent source of wit and wisdom. Definitely one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century. Holy Bible -... seriously ... it has more than one use, too. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty by James Thurber. -Okay, I cheated (again.) This is just a short story. But man is it hilarious ... influenced a lot of my writing, actually. READ IT!!! A lot more, I'm sure by a lot more people, I'm sure -I'm sure. |
