Favorite books! - Page 17

Staulmaster · 01-16-2008, 01:27 AM

I haven't read many books, but the few that I have I enjoyed quite a bit.

Jurassic Park: Despite a lot of techno-babble it's quite an engaging book.

Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass: I enjoyed the first book immensely, it changed my perspective on Lewis Carroll and what I had thought of the book beforehand, I like the setting and the ending especially. Through the Looking Glass was good as well, although weirder.

I'm in the middle of reading the LotR books (in the middle of TTT), and I gotta say: impressive. The only downside is that the movies are downgraded for now that I've read the book, since it has soooo much more content.

Also, I greatly enjoyed the Hobbit.

I love Harry Potter, LOTR, Chronicles of Narnia and all of those books about Great Britian, well actually, several books about girls who are going to England and or not going to England--and of course anything to do with school, social, and or Hollywood life! :D Wait have I posted here before, if so, either bad memory or I just forgot. Okay that's like the same thing! XD

The Dark Tower Series. (I'm in LOVE with Stephen King's writing. This series was so well thought out. What do you expect of 20+ years used to write them?)

The His Dark Materials trilogy.(Truly brilliant. Phillip Pullman has worked magic. I feel binded to all of his characters.)

The Chronicles of Narnia. (I've loved this series ever since I was little. C.S. Lewis is an amazing writer, and I enjoyed every last word.)

The Abhorsen Trilogy. (Garth Nix truly stole my heart. Sabriel was probably my favorite of the three. I hear he has more planned! Yessssss.)

I'm about to read The Looking Glass Wars. Hope they won't disappoint.

nojerom_14 · 01-22-2008, 11:04 PM

Trust me they won't. Very good, the both of them. Don't know when the third comes out though..

**Lycian Wolfe** · 01-22-2008, 11:09 PM

^ Neither the third book nor the movie release dates have been announced, but Frank Beddor's currently working on both of them.
I'm guessing the third should come out sometime this September, or in the Fall season of this year.

Blah.

- His Dark Materials

You're doing it wrong.

Also, the Silmarillion is currently my favorite book.

.:Raz:. · 04-29-2008, 08:07 PM

The Bartimaeus Trilogy is now my new favorite series. I enjoyed the Agatha Christie mystery And Then There Were None.

Reflection · 04-29-2008, 09:37 PM

^ And Then There Were None is awesome. Kinda creepy though.

I just finished a few more books. The Perks of Being a Wallflower (really really great) and The Sweet Far Thing, the 3rd in the Great and Terrible Beauty series.

The Liberator · 05-28-2008, 11:49 PM

Sahara

LotR

Harry Potter

Rangers Apprentice

Maximum Ride- new one is ookay, but I don't really care for it.

Alex Rider

#1 Favorite of all time: The Gatekeepers (called "Power of Five" in Europe)

Note: I would probably say the Bourne trilogy, but I only own the movies, haven't read the books yet.

Mr Despair · 05-31-2008, 01:03 AM

Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse ( I actually started reading them backwards...the 3rd first, 2nd and finally the first one....made thing more clear ) and also The Host.

Reflection · 05-31-2008, 01:16 AM

^ My friend was in a review club and she got The Host a couple months earlier than it was edited & released, and it was terribly written. Still is, in my opinion. Must have been weird to read the Twilight series like that. XD

And while you are walking home, out comes a low-level 2 pokemon, and you realize that your team of pokemon has become a deadly unit. Sure, the game says that the attack was "not very affective", that the wild pokemon "fainted". But come on, we both know that there is no way that weak grass type could have survived your level 67 dragon type. Happy now, murderer? "Everyone look away, I don't want any witnesses."
