What book do you really love?

[Rosita]

Hi there! I'm posting this thread here because I dont know where it goes, anyway...I noticed that there are some threads talking about songs, but none about books...does anybody here like to read?, I really hope the answer is "Yes, I do!" otherwise you will all think I am a lil. weird lmao

Anyway...I truly love literature since I learned to read, and I really will like to know what are your favi. book/s or your favi. author/s?? I am sure there are hundreds of books which are not really popular, or that the rest of members don't know them, and that you will share the titles with us! =D


If this thread is posted in another place on this huge forum! or if it was discussed before...you (Cotton, Tommy, or Fluffy) can delete it

I love books too! My favorite author would have to be Stephen King! I have been reading his books for years, even before I could really understand them. My favorites would have to be The Dark Half, and Rose Madder.
Lately though, I've been reading the Twilight Saga. I'm currently reading Eclipse. I read through the first two books with in a week, and I've been reading this one for more than a month! I just can't seem to get into it.

I also decided to post a reply here... Well, you know, I'm Russian and we used to be the most reading nation (when in the USSR). But not anymore.
When I was a kid I used to sleep with books, I could read 300-400 pages a day. Now, as I am a teacher, I see that kids don't read at all, my dear! My sister, who is 13, has read only Harry Potter (only because she was in love with Daniel Radcliff) and something else, very little. Do your kids read nowadays? Ours are drawn in computers, turning into new age creatures, autists, indigos - whatever you call it.

As for my favourite authors, well, I really like SF: Azimov, Sheckley, Simak. I also love Russian classics: Bulgakov, Tchekhov.

Anything Danny Wallace and the Inkheart Trilogy. Oh, btw I'm a kid and I read waaaaaaaaay too much. I'm reading eight different books right now:
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: James Joyce (enjoyable if you're not reading it for a class)
She's Come Undone: Wally Lamb
Nancy Drew The Secret of the Old Clock: Carolyn Keene
Girls in Pants The Third Summer of the Sisterhood: Ann Brashares
Inkspell: Cornelia Funke (my favorite!)
The Illiad and the Oddessy: Homer
Lord of the Silent Kingdom: Glen Cook (a book I found at the dollar store, it's pretty good for a buck.)
Night World # 1: L.J. Smith

Saddenly you're quite right, I also loved to read when I was a child, I used to read 1 book per day in summer's time, and 1 per week when I was at school, I always loved it and I still do, because books let me imagine things & create the characters on my mind, I cry easly reading a book then watching a movie...nowadays few people read, some because they dont have time others because they dont like it...the most sad thing is that I'm studying literature (between other things) at college, and most of my friends who are also studying the same I'm doing don't like to read so...why are they studying it??

^ lol Ironic, don't you think?

Persuasion by Jane Austen. I. simply. LOVE. IT! Actually, anything by Jane Austen ..... because of his genius, someone decided to make a BBC mini-series that included a beautiful and Colin Firth wet-shirt. The woman is a legend!

I just read DOGLEGS by Art Novak. It's "a tale about human imperfection and dogged intervention"! It's a little sad but it's got a happy ending.
