Your favourite book?

[Paradon]

As M13 made a recent video about fantasty books, I thought perhaps we'd have a recommended book thread.

Not sure how much you guys read, well, other than "how to pleasure your woman" books anyway. Yes pinto I'm talking to you.

Haha^

"In the Company of Heroes"
Fantastic book!!

[misteroldschool]

i got into writing alot two years ago, so much so i got myself published, but then life started happening and for the last year i haven't even picked up a book, that is up untill yesterday, i bought Frankenstein

my favorite is probably ''into the wild'' though, when i was younger i really liked "hatchet " do you see a trend here? lol

I read fantasy-books for the most part, but not that much. But i guess more than most people (since half of the young people nowadays don't seem to read anything.)

The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan (The beginning is too slow but except that its fun.)
Truth Series from Dawn Cook (My gawd, are the US-Covers gruesome and cheesy)

The Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan stroud is also nice and often funny.
I really can recommend The Leap written by him. I heard it as a Audiobook (German) and was entertaining the whole time. Especially the end... woah... I was thrilled. Shitstorm

Terry Pratchett is also nice, though got tired of his writing relatively fast. Or "Mort" the book I've started with simply was the best of the ones I've read.


I've started The Song of Ice and Fire months ago as a Audiobook - The beginning was great but shortly after it all came down to politics, and I'm not into that very much. Especially if you've got like 50 different characters.

And btw: Joe Abercrombie - First Law is fucking bullcrap.


And i don't know if Inkheart from Cornelia Funke is as hyped in the US/UK like it is/was here, but I've fought through 1/2 of the book and really hated this boring, full of uninteresting and stupid characters shitfuck book. I wouldn't read it through if i got 100 bucks for it.



@misteroldschool: I've seen the movie. Don't know how much it has to do with the Book, but it was great

I don't read too much, but Fantastic Mr. Fox remains my favourite book ever. The movie was crap.

I got the Fry Chronicles for Christmas, which I think should be pretty interesting.

I don't read too much, but Fantastic Mr. Fox remains my favourite book ever. The movie was crap.

I've watched the movie recently and liked it. More for the animations than the (relatively standard) story. I don't know the book.

Your favourite book?

A short one.

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

An amazing storyline that just kept me wanting to carry on. I was actually quite sad when I'd finished it. IT's the kind of story you want to carry on reading about.

[Paradon]

May as well just list authors and series:
- Martina Cole (Ladykiller)
- Patrichia Cornwell (Scarpetta series)
- Jeffery Deaver (Lincoln Rhyme series)
- James Patterson (Alex Cross series)

Also love the Warhammer 40k books, in particular the Horus Heresy series.

[DCTim]

I tried reading Eye of Terror. I also have First And Only somewhere.

Never did quite finish it

[Paradon]

Oooh good one.

[maniaka]

The darren shan series was a good read for a young teen, nice and gory

[Paradon]

I loved those! I actually continued reading them as I got older simply to finish the series. lol

I always have the absolute hardest time reading books unless it is something that i'm totally interested in from the beginning. I also suck at remembering movies. I was always one of the young kids who gets put into a group of 5-6 other students from the class that read at a far more advanced level, but i always struggled to finish books. I think i need to be checked for ADD or something.

"how to pleasure your woman" books anyway. Yes pinto I'm talking to you. 

Actually, an e-book on the top list of demonoid caught my eye a while ago. It was titled something like CIA's guide on women. I thought it would be more comical, but it was a totally serious book. The first few pages talked about how getting in bed with a woman in a family you were investigating would keep you safe, and how you should go about doing this. I don't think i got past the first few pages. Stopped reading after i discovered it was a full blown book with many chapters.
