Your favorite book.

[MiracleOfSound]

Didn't read it, and trust you so won't bother.

Eh, it's not bad. Just quite bland compared to the rest of his stuff.
No sense of time or place, just flows very stiltedly.

Edit: Then again I am very drunk, so anything I say should not be taken seriously

Woo! Party hard for me, you septic leech you.

That was a compliment, by the way.

Haha, fury-fucks all round!

Urgh... not so hot today.

If you're ever in Cork don't go to the Brog, the pints there are pure poison. I don't think they wash the pipes.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go puke my ring up for the fourth time...

 

[Z4mmy]

My favorite books are The Hobbit by Tolkien and Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.

Even the name sounds ill to me.

Yeah. An Brog. The shoe. Hardly sounds like soemthing you want to drink out of.

I tend to flip the middle two letters around in my head, it helps to take in the evil hive mind feel of the place.

 

[Flowty]

Harry potter saga, and "Final Del Juego" (End of the Game) by Julio Cortazar. That guy was so awesome...

 

[ThreeWords]

The trilogy of five.

Haba duh wah? My logic circuits object...

 

[FirsstormGojkilp]

I'm not sure what my favourite is, but The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare is brilliant. David Clement-Davies' books are good too. I like wolves

 

[CincoDeMayo]

I'd have to say "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. There's something about his style of writing that just eats you whole and won't let you go until the book is read.

Jon Krakauer is by the way the author who also wrote "Into The Wild" which practically made the same-titled movie possible in the first place.

...The book that comes as a close second is the psychology book "När du gör som jag vill" (that's Swedish for "When you do as I want to") by Henrik Fexeus.

I have his Konsten Att Läsa Tankar (The Art of Reading Minds would be the direct translation), he's a very entertaining and sharp guy.

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

The trilogy of five.

Haba duh wah? My logic circuits object...

You have obviously never read the works of Douglas Adams and for that I pity you.
He wrote the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy" before realizing the story was far from over.

By the time he died, it had become known as "the increasingly inaccurately titled Trilogy of Five."

It's mindblowingly funny stuff. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

I have actually read said trilogy (which along with And Another Thing is now a trilogy of six), I just fail at getting references that I'm not expecting.

 

[sumanoskae]

Watchmen, hands down

 

[Otterpoet]

How original.


The Wasp Factory by Iain M Banks is mine.

Dear god! I'm not the only one who has read this book Definitely in my top three - if not #1.

 

[AizenTheAzure]

House of Leaves
Watchmen
Cat's Cradle
Lullaby
Anything by Douglas Adams
The Ender's Game series and it's spin off.

If I may be so bold as to include manga then Fullmetal Alchemist and Hellsing.

I'm thinking of getting that book. I've always wanted to be able to read between the lines of what people are saying.

 

[Queen Michael]

Harry potter saga, and "Final Del Juego" (End of the Game) by Julio Cortazar. That guy was so awesome...

Congrats! That makes you the second Cortázar fan I've met here. (I'm the third.)

 

[Arrogancy]

My favorite would probably be "Soon I Will Be Invincible" by Austin Grossman. Nothing short of Awesome.

 

[Woodsey]

Hitchhiker's Guide series, The Hobbit, the Young Bond series (especially the latest one) and To Kill a Mockingbird.

We read Mockingbird in school, which kind of put a bummer on it because I couldn't read it at my own pace (which is considerably fast, but I can't read ahead if we're reading it in class or I'd get bored) so I couldn't get into it overly. Thinking back on it though, I really did like it.

I even felt a little emotional when they all clapped Atticus as he walked out of court.

I want to read The Road and Of Mice and Men (the film is fantastic).

 

[Jiggabyte]

Probably Life, The Universe and Everything and the other books in that series. Nothing like good old-fashioned British nonsense mixed with science fiction and several other things.

Lemony Snicket's A series of unfortunate events Series

Most annoying ending I have ever read.

I was more annoyed with how the film ended.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I don't have a favorite book, but I do have a favorite series: The Death Gate cycle/novels. The Discworld series is a close second, followed by almost anything 40K related.

 

[senorcromas]

Good Omens, by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman, hands down.

The closest second is the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams

I have Good Omens signed by BOTH Terry Pratchett AND Neil Gaiman. Jealous? Took a nefarious scheme to do it.

My favorite book is either Welcome to the NHK or Train Man. They're opposite poles of the human condition, some days I prefer one over the other, and some other days I prefer the OTHER one to read.

YOU... BUT.... IT... GNSDIPBPSGIFBSDGLOBAOOB!!!!!!


Is what I think about that.
