Books, Books, and more Books
 

Seeing as I can't find it anywhere else, and I know it is going to be said evetnually by someone, what is your favorite book
or at least what are some booky you like or are current reading etc.
i don't really have an all-time fav book, but i am a big reader for my age
ummm, im reading discworld books right now, and have a pile of tom clancy, isaac asimov, and whoever wrote the wheel of time series book piled up in my room, fresh from the library. Post away

"A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" by Dave Eggers. Check it out, y'all.

never heard of it, whats it about?

The Great Gatsby, and LOTR Trilogy

My quote should make clear my favorite author.
That aside, I also enjoy Stephen King and R.A. Salvatore's older works; I say older, because King's gotten too soft lately and Salvatore has dragged the Drizzit series for too damn long.
And, before I get blasted, I LIKE Drizzit. All things need to end at some point though.

Terry Brooks' Shannara saga, anything by tolkien, and Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy (the games suck ass tho)

One of my favorite series - The Ender Trilogy, esp. Ender's Game (Ender's shadow wasn't bad either)

As for what I'm reading now, I've been thinking about starting the newest WoT book, but I'm not sure whether I'm ready to go through the torture of reading it yet. The last one drove me crazy and left me very disappointed.

I don't read many recent books with a few exceptions. I mostly read old science fiction; Heinlein, Asimov and Herbert are my favorites.

Right now, though, I'm going through Arrian's Campaigns of Alexander, and I've got a book mark in Isaac Deutscher's The Prophet Armed that I've been meaning to get back to for a year now. Mostly historical works right now, you may notice. Concequence of having to read so many of them for classes.

Too many books for me to choose from I say my two favorite series is

1. Anne McCaffrey's Pern series (posibly my fav. book out of it is The White Dragon)

2. Dragon Lance books. (No desernable fav. book out of this series tough but my fav. char. is Tasslehoff)

Dark Shooter is right, Heinlein, Asimov and Herbert are great. I'll add Niven, Brin (everything up to "Earth" anyway), Drake and Vinge.

On the fantasy side The Dragonbone Chair trilogy by Tad Williams is a favorite.
