Favorite books

In regards to Harry Potter, I didn't want to start them until all the books were out so I could just read them all at once...but now I can't be arsed because of all the hype. ): It's like how becoming popular has made me frown upon Chrono Trigger for the SNES (which I've owned since its release). Although I guess moreso it's a lack of time that keeps me from reading them.

I'm currently in the middle of "The Time Traveller's Wife." It's good, but one must envision a universe seperate from our own when reading it because it's not exactly accurate in terms of science, but it never really needs to be to have a nice story. It's about a guy who suffers from some kind of cellular disorder that causes him to spontaneously travel to another time and place without warning. He travels with no clothes, food or money. The book itself consists of a random scattering of 'meetings' between the time traveller and his wife, as both adults and children (and occasionally, the time traveller meets himself at a younger age and teaches himself things...which creates quite the paradox indeed. The author actually takes the easy way out of explaining these things and instead just says "There's no God, and time is static and unchanging.")

It's a good read...as is a book called "Einstein's Dreams." It's a fictional description of what Einstein's daily life was like, and the things he dreamed about. Lots of space-timey stuff to make you think in that one. A neat little novel, nice and short.

 

Well I love harry potter and michigan chillers books.

 

I like the Harry potter series the best..I started on the lord of the rings part one but it's been a real long time since I read it

 

Hmm..? I really don't have a favorite book. xD

I only read when someone tells me to.

 

Oh too many to remember off the top of my head but here's the primary list:

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card (another Scott...)
Jingo/Witches Abroad/Maskerade/The Fifth Elephant - Terry Pratchett
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Nineteen Eighty-Four - George Orwell
The Outsider - Albert Camus
Catch-22 - Joseph Heller
The Belgariad Series - David Eddings (the basic story might not be too original, but the in-depth nature of the different societies and the characters make it worthwhile. Avoid The Mallorean Series at all costs though)

I'll be back.

 

Great Gatsby's an awesome book. Jane Austen is also my girlfriend's favourite author (although I personally can't read her stuff...haha)

 

Ah....Harry Potter...I Ain't Reading That!!! lolx I watch the movie instead!!!

As for books, I love Manga, and Magna Novels. Mystery, Murder, and Ghost books are appealing to me.

 

"The Time Traveller's Wife" By Audrey Niffenegger

 

I can't believe I forgot this book, because when asked which is my favourite I inevitably come to a restless conclusion on it: "The Collector" by John Fowles. Disturbing, yes, but oh so well written and though it's depressing I absolutely love it.

 

I like some girl type books xD like:

The Mediator Series/Teen Idol-Meg Cabot...thats all I can remember of her's xD
Daughter's of the Moon series- And the bad part? I can't even remember the author x.x thats my memory for ya.
Twilight-Stephanie Meyer, though I haven't finished the book its still good.
Companions of the Night/Witch Dreams/Being Dead-Vivian Vande Velde

There is also a few that I have started on but never finished. I'm talking series. I'm more into Vampire Romance shiyat...I don't know why xD or just romance all together...there just has to be something creepy going on though.

 

I am a BIG reader. At age 7 (which is my year 3. Dunno what grade it is) i was reading better than alot of people in year 6! Here are some of my faves!
All of the Darren Shan saga -Darren Shan
The Demonata series -Darren Shan
HP (particularly the 5th 6th 7th books)- good ol' J.K Rowling
The Edge Chronicles - Paul Stewart & Chris Riddell
Keys to the Kindom series - Garth Nix
Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen - Garth Nix
Shades Children - Garth Nix
The Sea of Trolls - Nancy Farmer
The Eddie Dickens Trilogy - Philip Ardagh
A Series of Unfortunate Events (only up to 11 though. I think they drag after that) - Lemony Snicket
Private Peaceful - Can't remember. Soz
The Wind on Fire Trilogy - William Nicholson

I like a wide variety of books as you can see.

 

seems wierd that above me is another darren shan reader

all of Darren shan saga- Darren Shan
All of the released demonata saga- Darren Shan
Lemony Snicket- A series of unfortunate Events- all of them, I love number the end, not the end as in the end of the series, the end as in the book title, the end
Dracula- Bram Stoker
Dark Tower bk 7- Stephen king
Texas Chainsaw massacre- at the moment I can't remember all of the names but, that's the title lol

 

heeh fav books some more:

vampirates: Justin Somper

Crimson Bathing: Relics of the blood Countess ( My own, i've been working on it for a while whilst at school and at home, my english teacher really helped my out a lot for creativity, it's getting published by young writers into a book across the UK hopefully, they accepted my crappy poem, so my great book is an easy stride lol)

 

Well.... Someone just told me to read, and my favorite book, and it's a good short novel too. Heroes, it'a about a man that had his face blown away by a grenade in WW2. It's a really nice book. It talks about his mysterious past. About the girl who he liked, but goit raped by Larry LaSalle, his ping pong, and school teacher. And, it's just a really good short novel lol.

 

I tried getting into Darren Shan but even though its about vampires and such I still couldn't get into it very well...

Sabriel - Garth Nix. I haven't read the other two, I'm on my second attempt to read Lariel or however you spell it, but its long and I don't get into these books until like the middle or so, but to me they're still good.
Avalon High/Nicola and the Viscount - Meg Cabot. I will read just about everything she writes EXCEPT the princess diaries books.
New Moon - Stephanie Meyer. Vampires again, but a good read, seriously that is if you like long books. Oh the only downfall was that the romance in the first book was alittle too sappy for my taste.

 

Darren shan is more of a boyish series. Very gory and freaky. Lirael is very good but it takes a while to get into it. Keep reading it and you'll find it really easy. Abhorsen is a straight follow on from lirael and it is a different book only because otherwise lirael would be enormous. You should read keys to the kingdom series because it is brilliant. Confusing on your first read through but read each book twice (well you can just pick things out on the secong read) and you'll get it.

 

Thanks xD I'll have to check those books out sometime. I like gore and stuff but I'm definitly a girl when it comes to reading >.> I like romance xD but only certain ones like they can't be sappy or retarded. Like I was almost turned off of twilight because it was sappy >.> I'm picky about EVERYTHING and books included.

Yeah Darren Shan is a guy book, but one of my friends (girl) and my cousin (girl) got into them pretty quick. I read halfway through the first book and was like fuck this =P

haha ^^;; I am on hiatus right now with Lirael heh. I started on another book, but I'll get back to it xD
