The "Our Favorite Book's" thread.

[MrMagick]

I don't think this has been done in a while and I'm sure most of you will view this as an easy thread to pump.

My most favorite books include:
All the "LOTR"'s
All of A. C. Carkes "Space Odyssey"
"Dune"
...many others.

[psychoticguyver]

[Bilbo Baggins]

All of Tolkiens works.
All fantasy books

[MetaL_Man2k3]

My favorite books are by Stephen King and Dean Kuntz.. Don't know the titles so that is as much as i can give you...

[Orgone_Man]

C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia
Terry Brook's Shannarah Series

I can't forget those "Make your own adventure" books where you choose the fate of the main character and then you have to turn to the page that corresponds to the fate chosen. Those were cool.

[hammerhead]

The Silmarillion. Dont argue, you know it ownez all of your books.

[Ian the Korean]

LOTR trilogy and the Hobbit, and anything else by Tolkien.
Xanth series
...hell, I'll read anything. ^^;

What about the Belgariad or the Malloreon?

[Shenlong]

Manga books include Love Hina and Initial D (Although I think they don't count as much as the Sonic comic books made by Archie that I also read... )

Novels include anything done by Stephen King...

Guide books include the TechTV books (Aren't I lame... -_-;; )

As well as "The Cat Who..." books. They're at a Middle School reading level, but I don't care...I enjoy them for the hell of it. The back cover may make it seem boring, but if you actually read it, it's quite funny and entertaining...

I have a couple other books, but I forgot what they're called, or who wrote them...

[hestermofet]

Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, and Lao-tzu's Tao te Jing.

[QHOBBES]

Caroline B. Cooney's The Face On The Milk Carton and The Drug Identification Bible Third Edition. I also liked the Narnia series, Dune, Mutant Message from Down Under, and Steal This Book.

[zootm]

naomi klien - no logo
hunter s. thompson - fear and loathing in las vegas
oscar wilde - the portrait of dorian grey

[hestermofet]

Wilde is a brilliant author

[Mrs_Mia_Wallace]

Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy

FOrgot that in my list ... I've been to a bar/ Pizza Restaurant in Rome once which was called "La divina comadia" and they had the whole thing written on the wall, they had three rooms (of course called "Inferno" Purgatorio" and "Paradiso") with different colour scemes, that was soo awesome (the pizza was grreat too!)

I think they should make more reastaurants with famous books as role models.

I wouldn't be too bothered about that mate, a great volume of those are utter, utter drivel. Although some of the collections of shorter stories (i.e Tales From Jabba's Palace) are quite entertaining. Steer clear of the two Bounty Hunter Wars books, I couldn't even finish the second one and I usually *love* any thing to do with Boba Fett.
