Your favorite book.

Anything by Raymond E Feist to be honest. Also the Belgariad and Malorean by David Eddings. The "watch" series by Sergei Lukyanenko. The Scarecrow series by Mathew Reilly is good. Any of the Dragonlance series that involve Knights of the Rose and Kender etc (there's like 4 series that are from the same universe written by different authors and set in different periods of the universe) I'm quite partial to Soulforge and The War of the Twins from that setting. I read alot.

Also Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan is fairly good.

And the Dark Tower books by Stephen King

 

[GoodEyeSniper]

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Johnathan Safran Foer. There was just so much... substance to it.

 

[David Bray]

Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett.

i agree every discworld book is fantastic but this is the best of the best

Haha. We will be legion.

Yes, to anyone out there who wants to have a laugh in a loose fantasy setting, pick up any book by Terry Pratchett. You will have a ball.

If we're talking comics, then Queen and Country by Greg Rucka. If we're talking non-comics... I really wouldn't know where to start, Fear up Harsh by Tony Lagouranis comes to mind, as does the Last Wish by Andrzej Sapkowski.

I dont read..

EDIT: i read goosebumps once..

This book rocks so hard it's unreal.

Sorry, I had to read Handmaid's Tale by Atwood for American Politics... and now I want to vomit, again. For the uninitiated, Handmaid's Tale brings new and horrific to meaning to the term "fucking depressing."

She's a very good writer, but I don't think I could subject myself to anything from her again.

I read the Handmaid's Tale too, but I couldn't really get through it. Oryx and Crake is infinetly better. While Oryx and Crake is also "fucking depressing", it combines this with some hilarious if not disturbing humor, which is a great mix.

 

[SaunaKalja]

The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss.

Its upcoming sequel, The Wise Man's Fear, is the first book I've ever anxiously waited for.

 

[Ben Legend]

His Dark Materials series. Love them.

The Northern Lights
The Subtle Knife
The Amber Spyglass

 

[TankCopter]

The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. Story about a German girl during WW2 who likes to nick books, told by Death.

 

[aarontg]

The zombie survival guide. The first book to my knowledge that actually takes it seriously and doesn't make a joke of it.

sir's taste - win. It was the progenitor for what i would eventually find myself reading; 'World War Z' which is totally f'kin awesome and i really the only book that has ever given me a profound sense of helplessness

The Godfather, by Mario Puzzo

 

[Fox1789]

the jungle by orson welles

 

[LiquidGrape]

L'Étranger by Albert Camus.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce.
Dangerous Midsummer by Tove Jansson.
Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote.
The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir.
The Witches by Roald Dahl.

Then there's the stuff that isn't strictly prose; namely Shakespeare's Twelfth Night: Or What You Will and everything ever written by Emily Dickinson and Sappho.

Sophocles was pretty bitchin' too. Probably the earliest example of a male writer concerned with the gender construct.

 

[Woem]

Fiction: Robin Hobb's Assassin's Apprentice, Frank Herbert's Dune
Non-fiction: The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

 

[Bat Vader]

My favorite book would have to be The Silmarillion, or Memoirs Of A Geisha, perhaps The Golden Compass.

I can't decide between one book. I love them all.

 

[Superasil]

Anything by Stephen King really. But if i had to choose one, i would choose The Dark Tower series. Best series of books ever, and by far his best work, IMO.

Spoiler: The Dark Tower book cover

[img=http://www.mattjonesblog.com/img/dt/TheDarkTower.jpg]

Except the ending. EDIT: And the last few books. EDIT2: And the author self insertion.

I dunno man, i liked those parts.

Spoiler

At least the ending showed that Roland had the Horn Of Eld, and therefore had some chance at redemption.

What did you not like about the last couple of books? i found them a bit slow at some times, but other then that i liked them.

Ya. i agree the self insertion wasent the best idea, but i liked how he fit himself in with everything going on in the book.
