Cruel Justice I have better things to do.                   Since: 11-18-05 From: At my house! Last post: 6465 days Last view: 6465 days |

| What do you read?
"Walden" by Henry David Thoreau -One of my most favourite books of all time. Like good wine, you have to take it slow. I've read it a few times over and it's pretty good. "Skeleton Crew" by Stephen King -A collaboration of short stories. Very graphic but interesting as usual. "The Lake" is one of my favourite shorts. "Napalm and Silly Putty" by George Carlin -A very funny collection of some of George Carlin's best skits. "...what you need to do is go up to a balcony and toss a watermelon in the bowl. That'll teach those rice crispies to sass me during breakfast!". (edited by [GGS] Cruel Justice on 11-28-05 04:31 PM) |

| Me? I don't really read much... Aside from school textbooks. The last time I read something out of free will was the Harry Potter series...
And before that... Uh... I think it was the Goosebump series when it first came out 
Anyways.. you posted this in the wrong forum  *waves Star Rod and whacks it over to General Chat* |

| The Harry Potter books are my current favorites.
I also enjoy the The Lord of The Rings books from Tolkien. Those so far are my favorites. |

I don't really know why; but when I was younger, I'd always be interested in the Goosebumps series. I remember Monster Blood 3; kind of interesting.  Now-a-days, I hardly read... =/ |

| Hmm...
Generation X and Microserfs, both by Douglas Coupland. There should be a word for the bizzare, introspective, angsty sense of profound sense of pure wellbeing that a Douglas Coupland novel gives. Cloudstreet by Tim Winton made me smile broadly. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S Thompson. Man was an incendiary genius. Rum Diary was good too. |

Originally posted by Cruel Justice *cringes* Had to read that for English this year. Just... way too dependant on nature for me. -Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger. By far my favorite book at the moment. I'm sure most have read it.. it's one of those books you either love or hate. I happen to love it. Talk about a book that teaches you things. -Into the Wild, by Jon Krakauer. Excellent book, I just recently read it. I was impressed at how much I began to like the person it's about, under the circumstances. Read it. -Sophie's World, by Jostein Gaarder. All about philosophy, the founders, the history.. it's very interesting. The beginning is a bit tedious, but it definitely gets better. If philosophy is one of your interests, I recommend this. -Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck If you haven't read this, you should slap yourself in the face. >8( -Harry Potter series Dur.

| 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. |

| 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. (edited by Ran-chan on 11-30-05 03:23 AM) |

| 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. |

Schweiz oder etwas [12:55] (Dr_Death16); I swear, the word drama needs to be stricken from the dictionary, for I've heard it so many times, it will permanently be imprinted on my brain  Since: 11-17-05 From: Kingston, Rhode Island Last post: 6465 days Last view: 6465 days |

| 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. |

| 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 |
