What's your favorite Book?

[Applepants1963]

I know that there's probably a thread about this already, but I've been inspired by the "Hardest Book" Thread.

So, What is everybody's favorite book?

I have several myself, for casual reading, I like Shock Wave by Clive Cussler, and for academic reading, I am reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy enjoying The Prophet Armed by Isaac Deutscher.

[GundamGuy_UK]

One of these:

Earthsea (all 5, plus Tales), by Ursula LeGuin
Catch-22, by Joseph Heller
Jurassic Park, by Michael Criton
and Harry Potter, of course.

not sure if I spelt "Criton" right... 4 hours of staring at logic gate diagrams makes you forget the simple things, like remembering to lock your door when you go out (or even to close it)...

[Hyper Knight]

the Harry Potter series
Stargate
and i'm now working on Splinter Cell, a lot of cursing, but otherwise a good book

[akiragale_532]

Anything by Anne Rice and the Animorphs series.

[Captain_Marvel]

Some of my favorite books are:
The Harry Potter Series
Lord of the Rings
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Starwars Novels
Sherlock Holmes Series

All fun easy reads for me.

[Greg]

The art of war
any maffia/ london gangland biography

[Ace of Spades]

I really liked The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas. My current favorite is most of the Star Wars: New Jedi Order series.

[Lord Tranorix]

My top ten:

1 – The Lord of the Rings
2 – The Prince
3 – America: The Book
4 – The Fountainhead
5 – Shogun
6 – The Silmarillion
7 – The Hobbit
8 – Catcher in the Rye
9 – The Picture of Dorian Gray
10 – Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

I'm counting the LotR trilogy as one book, as that's how it was originally intended to be.

And yeah, it's a pretty eclectic assortment. Obviously I like Tolkien, but Machiavelli makes for a good read too, as does Jon Stewart (of course). Rand has some interesting thoughts. Clavelle's Shogun was very good but very long, and I don't remember much from it anymore; I should reread it... Then there's more Tolkien, followed by Salinger (that's the only book on the list I read for school). Wilde is nice; I love a good British writer. His...erm...flamboyance is pretty evident though. And Douglas Adams is just fun.

[omega shenron]

harry potter

[Mushroom Pie]

I might just have to say The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. They're funny, a good enough plot, and are easy to read. I can wiz through them a book a day. I just finished the first one for the second time (started this morning). The end of "Mostly Harmless" just painted this great, ironic picture that was both funny and sad. I still need to read The Salmon of Doubt and Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, though I'm fairly sure neither of them have much to do with the actual series. Why do I feel dumb typing that last sentence?

I actually dislike Tolkein books. The only one that really sucked me in was The Hobbit. There was something... off... about Lord of the Rings. I can't quite place my finger on it, but something makes the books very tedious and boring for me. Wasn't a huge fan of the movies, either. I find that really weird, because that sort of thing is usually right up my alley.

I also like the Ender series by Orson Scott Card. I haven't gotten around to reading the Ender's Shadow books yet, unfortunately. Right now my dad has me semi-addicted to John Grisham, so I'm trying to get through some of his books. I just got through with The King of Torts and am getting started on The Last Juror. Runaway Jury's gonna be the next one I read, or heck, maybe I'll read them simaltaneously if I'm in the mood to keep track of more than one plot at once.

...Yeah, I like to read. Makes me feel like I'm actually doing something educational, rather than blowing off schoolwork.

[TheAmishOne]

My favorite is

"The Tombs of Anak" by Frank Peretti

Runner up goes to "The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy"

[The Little Turtle]

"Fallen Angels"
By: Walter Dean Myers

[Yami_Malik]

Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings
Halo
That was then, This is Now

[buu11235]

i liked the Dark Tower series by Stephen King. it is a really fast moving series and good character development. it is also really long. other books that i like are the Ender/Bean series by O. S. Card. I prefered the books about Bean more than Ender. there's also Animal Farm, but i forget the author. and i liked the Harry Potter series along with Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.

[Shaggy Dog]

i loved the rag and the bone shop, tenderness, i am the cheese, fade, the chocolate war, and after the first death all by robert cormier(don't be fooled by the title). also, i enjoyed scorpion, monster, and fallen angles by walter dean myers. the lotr seires(including the hobbit), the harry potter seires, Atemis fowl seires, the giver,the devil's arithmatic, the odyssy, the iliad, and the bone collector. also i like angels and demons, and the da vinci code by dan brown

EDIT: i also loved the thief lord and inkheart by C. Funke
EDIT 2.0:I LOVE THE CATCH IN THE RYE

[serpentknightsoldier]

1. The Da Vinci Code
2. Huckleberry Finn
3. Moby D.ick (Jeez, it's just a book.....)
4. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
5. ‘Salem’s Lot
6. Scarlet Letter

[darkinvader]

The Harry Potter books barely miss first. River God is my favorite.

[brndnfrtg]

Harry Potter 3 is my fav of my favorite series.

[SplatPlaintiff]

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov.

[Dark Malik]

Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials-Books I,II, and III. The Golden Compass is the first book, the Subtle Knife is the second book, and the Amber Spyglass is the third book. The Amber Spyglass is BY FAR my favorite of the 3. Such a sad ending... next time I visit a bookstore I'll have to remember to buy those 3 books, and if not all three then at least the Amber Spyglass. The Golden Compass is the best random book I've ever decided to check-out at the library.

[slasher]

an of the alex rider's adventure books

[JAY BEE]

my 2 favs are:

the Stranger, by albert camus

farenheit 451.

[senseker]

Battle Royal.

'nuff said.

[Watto]

an of the alex rider's adventure books
I love those books! I've read all of them, with the exception of Scorpia. (Stupid Libary, taking weeks to order ONE book). It also proves that MI6 pwn CIA... :D

[Applepants1963]

Alot of great stuff that I forgot has been mentioned: The Giver is an amazing book, Harry Potter's are always good for a quick read. Also, I forgot one of my personal fave's, All Quiet on the Western Front. It's just a wonderful book that's full of both emotion and historical significance.

[Majin yami]

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown: I found it to be a better book than the Da Vinci Code. Not to mention that I love anything Illuminati.
His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman: The Northern Lights is my favourite of the trilogy, followed so very closely by The Amber Spyglass.
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams: Incredibly funny, incredibly crazy, incredibly well written and incredibly English. What more can you ask for?
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien: Very detailed and has a very deep meaning. A good, but challenging, read.
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown: While the so-called "facts" are a load of old phooey (Angels and Demons isn't much different in that regard), it's a highly entertaining read that's easy to pick up and read. It manages to draw the reader in. Read it in a day and a half.

[Watto]

H.G Well's War of the Worlds is an exellent book, considering it was written over a century ago.
Also, The Artemis Fowl books are pretty good, didn't think I'd like em, but I wanted to see what the fuss was about...

[Applepants1963]

One more, Critical Space by Greg Rucka, an awesome author.

[-Kangi-]

Been into historical books Bury My hart At wounded Knee is proally the best book i have ever read.Next to that it would proally be The Last Alagonquin.

[MetallicPyreal]

[Dorakkusu]

I actually dislike Tolkein books. The only one that really sucked me in was The Hobbit. There was something... off... about Lord of the Rings. I can't quite place my finger on it, but something makes the books very tedious and boring for me. Wasn't a huge fan of the movies, either. I find that really weird, because that sort of thing is usually right up my alley.

I'm the exact same way, except that the Hobbit didn't really draw me in all thatm uch. Although, it's the only book by Tolkien I could actually finish (though I was in 4th grade at the time). Typically the whole Medieval, swords and sorcery type of stuff draws me in and I love it, but...Tolkien's writing style is just so hard to wade through, in my opinion. It's not BAD writing, it's just...not overly good. Basically, Lord of the Rings is over-hyped to the point where it's just boring, to me. I don't really understand why the books and movies are so popular and acclaimed.

I haven't really done a whole lot of reading since around the time I was in Junior High (eesh, like 7 or 8 years ago), but I do very ocassionally pick up a book. At the moment, my two favorites are:

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Oath by Frank E. Peretti

[Bibbo]

The Lord of the Rings is great,
The Chronicles of Narnia is amazing,
The Screwtape Letters is great,

thats all i can think of right now

[Bibbo]

At the moment, my two favorites are:

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Oath by Frank E. Peretti

My grandmother grew up with Harper Lee

[Evangelion Unit-Zeta]

Three-way tie between the Gundam novelizations, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

[Applepants1963]

I really need to read Hitchhiker's Guide. Right now, I'm working on When the King Took Flight by Timothy Tackett. It's pretty good. The author was my advisor's Doctoral Thesis Advisor.

[Clare]

Harry Potter: I've got all the first five books and I'll be getting "The Halfblood Prince" when it comes out

Redwall: I've got quite a few of these books

[airknight 20]

The Harry Potter series!!

[TheMuffinOfEvil]

Books by Dan Brown
The Halo Novels
The Lorax

[shannarafan]

The Elfstones of Shannara by Terry Brooks. Awesome liek whoa.

[sixersballernum3]

Hmm...

Anything by Stephen King is my favorite plot-wise.

My overall fave is the Harry Potter series. Easy to follow, not real hard, awesome plot.

I usually read random stuff I find at the library. I also like the Charlie Bone series.

[Black Paladin]

not really a fan of reading, but I do have a book that I like. Farenheit 451. fire + books = (IMO) fun

[Frenetic]

My favorite book right now is Ordinary People

[Betelgeux]

i probably have a number of them... though i don't always remember.

i know a tale of two cities is a work of art in itself...

[slasher]

the 6th alex rider adventure book is called arc angel ore something like that

[O_Master]

Here is some that come to mind.

The Outsiders
The Cay
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Redwall Series
Forged by Fire
The Breadwinner

Lots of these are easy and short reads, but amazing. I highly recommend them.


O_Master

[RareHunterX]

hmm..I haven't read in along time.

Mine are:
Lord of the Rings
the Narnia chronicles [ Loved all the Books.].
I read some other great books..but i totally forgot what they were called.

[Xeres]

Lemme see...

Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman has to be my number one favourite book.

I prefer to go by authors, though...Robert Heinlen, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, J.R.R Tolkien, C.S Lewis, Piers Anthony... Douglas Adams...

Reading the Art of War, currently. Fascinating stuff. Not really a fan of Stephen King's 'horror' novels. The Green Mile, and The Shawshank Redemption were really good, though.

...I also liked Angels and Demons much more than The Da Vinci Code. Dan Brown is a 'hit and miss' author for me.

Hitchhiker's Guide is a staple for any nerd. When I can go around calling people 'froods' or saying '42' and someone gets it... Hurray!

I am a literati. Fear my book reading skills. Fo' shizzle.

[sixersballernum3]

Ah yes, the Chronicles of Narnia. I always wondered why The Witch and the Wardrobe was so much more popular than the others...

All of them were so good....I read them twice =P

[DarkSoulBlade131]

Cirgue Du Freak series.

[thenextsuperhero]

favorite book...
Harry Potter series, but to make book to books I'll add LotR and the 2099 series, if anyone knows of that.

[Gameron]

So many to name.

Let's see..

Caesar's Gallic and Civil War
War and Peace
Lord of the Rings
Any Book by Steve Alten
A few books by Michael Crichton

[ORACLEPAGER1029]

Lord of the rings
A series of unfortunate events
The chronicles of Narnia
Harry Potter

[SlateWarrior]

I've read the first Cirque Du Freak book. It was good, but a little strange.

I like the Harry Potter books, Artemis Fowl, Alex Rider, and any basketball books whatsoever.

[kunai_knives]

Let's see...

The Giver
The Joy Luck Club


The Alchemist
Veronika Decides to Die
Anything that's in the Metaphysical genre or by Paulo Coelho...

[TMJ-RedEyes]

To Kill A Mockingbird...(I haven't read many books)

[Village Dag]

I'm the first one to say this but, All the President's Men is quite a great read. A fasicinating one I might add aswell.

Other good books I have read include One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, The Green Mile, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Jungle Book.

[flip_nation]

personally, i hate books. i don't like to read 'em. Any body got any interesting books that i should read? And i mean interesting. A book you can't put down.

[Lord Tranorix]

A Child Called It -- you will not be able to put it down. I read it all in one night.

I caution against reading it though; it's really not for the faint of heart and you may feel pretty bad afterward.

[simpsonshorts]

i am illiterate

[simpsonshorts]

Cirgue Du Freak series.


those books RULE ;)

[Umbra]

DaVinci Code by dan Brown would be my favorite book

I enjoy all Dan Brown's Books as well as R.A. Salvatore 's and Timothy Zahn's

[flip_nation]

For me, i personally prefer Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code both by Dan Brown...they're pretty interesting. The Illuminati ROCK!!! Hahaha...well they do...oh people! do a google search on ambigrams in the image section...those things are awesome!!! if i had a signature, i'd post one up, but as of now, i don't have one...

[Watto]

A Child Called It -- you will not be able to put it down. I read it all in one night.

I caution against reading it though; it's really not for the faint of heart and you may feel pretty bad afterward.
I've read that, it was pretty depressing...excellent book though.

Hmm...Well, I've just read the His Dark Materials Trilogy. Very good. The only thing I'm annoyed about is the fact I didn't read them sooner...

Right now, I'm re-reading one of my favourite books, Her Name, Titanic. Excellent book, anyone with even the mildest interest in the Titanic should read it.

[Millenium_Master]

I loved the entire Harry Potter series....


Also A Child Called It was very touching...

[SuperSayian4]

My favorite books are the Series of Unfortunate Events.

[Millenium_Master]

My favorite books are the Series of Unfortunate Events.

you queer.... j/k... I haven't read the books but I have seen the movie and love it...

[SuperSayian4]

Who's the queer? J/K The Harry Potter series was pretty good.

[MetallicPyreal]

Who's the queer? Your the one who said he "loved the entire Harry Potter series."
Millenium guy = pwned. Even though you were kidding, that^ was great. :D

I still love all of Stephen King's and Caroline Funke's work.

KING
1. It
2. Needful Things
3. The Dead Zone
4. Salem's Lot
5. Christine
6. The Langoliers

[ReturnOfStarterDecks]

All Dan Brown Books
Tamora Pierce Books
Golden Compass Series

[Linzoy]

I can't really pick a favorite book. I really like slaughterhouse five, I read it recently. One of the greatest books ever. It's a mostly true story about WW2. The fictional parts are where he gets abducted by aliens, and travels through time, and stuff. He also changed the names of the characters, but it's mostly true. I generally like science fiction, but I read books from every genre. I'm re-reading the entire animorphs series now, I love that series. I'm also reading a book called the five people you meet in heaven, I didn't think it was intresting but my dad told me to read it, and it turned out to be a really good book. It's about a dead person.

[vdraconis]

Frank Herbert's Classic Dune series, don't give me any of that new bull-plop his son's turning out.

Dan Brown I find good the first time, but once you try to reread it gets so boring.

[Dr.Philip & Mr.Fiend]

Anything by Stephen King but espescially the Dark Tower series. How he came up with the plot just blows my mind.
The Harry Potter series.
The Lord of the Rings.
Timeline and Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton.
Last but not least, any book by Tom Clancy like Patriot Games and The Hunt for Red October.

[Millenium_Master]

Who's the queer? J/K The Harry Potter series was pretty good.

HaHa... Don't get too ****y.... I can still get you banned..... You already have a warning...


AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH HARRY POTTER?

[SuperSayian4]

HaHa... Don't get too ****y.... I can still get you banned..... You already have a warning...


AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH HARRY POTTER?

I never said anything was wrong with Harry Potter, I just got bored with them after reading them all. I just read the other books until the 6th book comes out. and what did you when you put ****y?

[Haruko_Haruhara]

Sabriel and Lirael by Garth Nix (2 separate books and a series)
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Daughters of the Moon series

I think thats all.....

[Jesusisdaman]

A Series of Unfortunate Events (series it kinda says it in the title)

[O_Master]

I know these are short and easy reads, but any and all books in the Redwall Series, The Hobbit, and this book I read a week ago called Inkheart that my sister got from the library. I liked it a lot. There's PLENTY more I love, but their names don't all come to mind.


O_Master

[Cyber Squirel]

My all time favorite book is The Catcher in the Rye buy J.D. Salinger. I found it truely fascinating. Then the Giver was good. I love the Harry Potter series. Groosom Grange is good (its where JK Rolwings kinda took the idea for harry potter from though i like harry potter so much more). The Theif Lord and Inkheart by Cornelia Funke were extremely good. I liked the Lord of the Rings Series. The Hobbit was one of my favorites. Dandeline Wine by Ray Bradbury was great. I kinda feel that that touched me in some way, as did The Giver and The Catcher in the Rye. If i think of anymore ill edit this post. Eh...I left out House of the Scorpion and the Sea of Trolls bye Nancy Grace. House of the scorpion really touched me. I reccomend that and the catcher in the rye to any teenager.

[Watto]

Oh, I also enjoyed Inkheart. Great book! I really want to read more of Funke's work... (Heh. Funky. LOL. :rolleyes: )

Well, I've just read "Day of the Triffids". Not the best I've ever read, but not the worst either. All in all, pretty enjoyable.

I read "Icefire" a few weeks ago. Recently I've been reading a lot of books with Dragons in. Odd...

[Cyber Squirel]

It's kinda weird but Cornelia Funke's last name is actually pronounced something like Funk-A. The E makes and A sound. Just a random fact about an author. :rolleyes:

[Watto]

It's kinda weird but Cornelia Funke's last name is actually pronounced something like Funk-A. The E makes and A sound. Just a random fact about an author. :rolleyes:
Wow... and I thought it was a silent 'e'. Meh.

[Cyber Squirel]

Wow... and I thought it was a silent 'e'. Meh.

I believe that's what most people think, but let's get back on topic before this gets locked.

[wearetitens]

[Hero of Time]

Calvin and Hobbes. It's sophisticated.

[One-Winged Angel]

Tuesdays with Morrie It was a really good book. Very touching.
1984 Hated reading it the first time, but the message really sticks.
Treasure Island I just really liked the book. It's a Classic!

[darkruler dragon]

don't have books, sorry, but authors I have, let's try to weed it down though

Oscar Wilde, H.G. Wells, Thomas Frank, Bret Easton Ellis, Philip Sharnoff, Marcus Aurielius, Plato, Aristotle, Bob Avakian, Edgar Snow, Ralph Schoenman, Franz Kafka, Hegel, Niezstche, John Reed, Salvador Allende, Pablo Neruda, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Arthur Miller, J.D. Salinger, Thomas Williams, Herman Meville, Carl Sagan. There's also some German literature that I like. Then there's the occasional pop readings, Raptor Red, Jurrassic Park, America: The Book, Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, etc.

[Zalde]

Non manga: Howl's Moving Castle By Diana Wynne Jones

Manga: Kaze No Tani No Naushika By Hayao Miyazaki

[Game_Boy87]

Favorite fun read would have to be: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

[mistress_of_dragons]

DragonLance, hands down are my favourite books EVER. I highly suggest them to any D & D fan, or any fantasy fan!

Uhm, from the DragonLance Saga, I'd have to say SoulForge is my favourite book with the ultimate character Raistlin. He's sooo cool and takes on *zips lips* I don't wanna spoil him for anyone who will pick the Series up. :p

[Jesusisdaman]

I also like the Harry Potter Series....

[ShadowZ]

My favorite book is a tie between Catcher in the Rye and Of Mice and Men. To Kill a Mockingbird,The Time Machine and The Red Badge of Courage are also my tops. :cool:

[Ace of Spades]

I've gotten through most of my (admittedly short) reading list, and The Count of Monte Cristo's pretty much still my favorites. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy climbed up the list pretty quickly, though.

[Black Paladin]

Time Machine with illustrations. I just love The Time Machine.

[New York Man]

Harry Potter books, Goosebump books, "Warriors Don't Cry", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", and "Of Mice and Men".

[Ryusaki]

[Yata-Garasu 1]

Favorite book? That's just too cruel, there are so many I like. Well I can't say this is my 100% favorite book of all time, but it's got to be up there somewhere:Michael Chriton's Jurassic Park.

Hm... probably out of the very short list of things I've actually bothered to read, probably my favorite one is God's Debris by Scott Adams.

[Majin yami]

Yeah, the catcher in the rye is something all teenagers should read. I'm glad someone besides me enjoyed it. (atleast on the boards)

[olibuhero22]

How could I have forgotten To kill a Mocking Bird....that is also high on the list....we were assigned to read it for literature....everyone thought it sucked...i thought it was a very well told book...

[Applepants1963]

Hmmmm, alot of activity, I kinda forgot I started this. Anyway, some new stuff from my bookshelf: Skull Session by Daniel Hecht, Shooting at Midnight by Greg Rucka (seriously if you guys aren't reading something by this guy, go to a bookstore and buy something), and the Vampire: The Masquerade Clan Novels are surprisingly good.

[pineapple4brains]

The vacant throne
By ed greenwood(creator of the forgotten ******) best book I have ever read.
And fal of reach and the other one was good but the flood was horrible one of the worst books I have ever read!

[Peanut Butter]

Redwall was good but they have been crap lately.

[akiracage]

My favorite Books:

The Art of War
Any book on Asian Mythology, Greek Mythology, Egyptian Mythology.
~ToonBakURArYoU

[ShadowZ]

LotR & hobbit

also the greensleeves books from mtg were really good

[Applepants1963]

Hey toonbakuraryou You should check out some Norse mythology if you get a chance, I've always enjoyed it much more than greek or Egyptian.

[SuperSayian4]

My favorite book is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

[Sunset Rider]

I loved the whole Resident Evil series by S.D. Perry. They are the best books EVER!!!!!! I have read everyone at least 3 times. Also the Warcraft, Starcraft, and X-Wing series' are very good.

[SuperSayian4]

They had a Resident Evil Series?!

[jonnanblade16]

All of the Redwall books. By Brian Jacques. Have read them all at least 3 times. They=Awesome.

[SuperSayian4]

To me, the Harry Potter series will be my favorite book series ever made.

[SpringChocobo]

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Also, anything by Jerry Spinelli (Maniac Magee, Crash, etc.)

[ImperialStingmon]

Faves is a tough one. I've read so many awesome books, but if I had to go with faves it'd be Harry Potter, Animorphs, and Star Wars. I also like Goosebumps, Everworld, and the Ender series by Orson Scott Card are also towards the top.

[Bulletproof]

Charlie and The Chocolate Factory....Yes I read Children's books.lol

[Andrew]

Artemis Fowl and Hitchhiker's.

[The Englishman]

With books I rarely go off the mainstream selection. I enjoyed the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz, His Dark Materials by Pullman and of course the HP Series.

There is also quite a good series titled "The Wind on Fire."

[p0k3mast3r]

my favorite book is Hatchet.

[Dimension567slayer]

The Enemy Within - by Paul Adam

[Card Guardian]

Cirque Du Freak series!!!!!1111!!11!11! The books actually showcase the cool,evil, and violent side of vampires (unlike garbage books such as Twilight)

[ButterflyKing]

[food9279]

Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr, and hopefully the fourth book when it comes out!!

[OniCrewFTW]

Eragon - WAS good, till they made the movie and ruined it.

Eldest - Reclaimed Eragons honor, just to crap on it.

Brisingr - Owned all of them, and destroys there ass.

[LelouchLamperouge]

Yeah its unoriginal but mine is The fellowhip of the ring - Tolkien.

[OniCrewFTW]

I've been waiting to see if someone would put a LotR book on here.

[Exo]

My favorite would be The Time Machine, mostly because of its short length and my understanding of it.

I also like thrillers. I just started reading Misery after seeing it parodied on Family Guy. :D

[Rosenkreuz]

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms series, or the Eisenhorn compilation...
