Read any good books lately?

[alexakk9]

Have anyone read grotesque by natsuo kirito? I heard it's good....

[pinkcat1305]

I will pretty much read anything thats on the best sellers list. My fave is usually fantasy and horror.

[Fernip]

I just finished reading "The Shakespeare Secret" (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shakespeare-Secret-J-L-Carrell/dp/0751540358/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1203876928&sr=8-1) by JL Carrell and was pretty impressed with it. I've never really been a huge fa of shakespeare but this book certainly taught me a lot about him and the thoughts behind his work. I found myself googling certain stuff to find out if it was really true. The ending was a bit of a disappointment to me they tried to be a bit too clever but otherwise i would definitely recommend it.
I've started straight on with another book that my tutor lent to me called "The End of Mr. Y" (http://www.harcourtbooks.com/TheEndOfMrY/landing.asp) by Scarlett Thomas and it is certainly one of the weirdest looking books i've ever seen. The book looks as if someone has coloured the 3 exposed sides of the pages with black marker pen and its a long and thin book compared to most. I'm only 100 pages in but i'm hooked already it's reasonably fast paced and incredibly detailed. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has read it because it isn't even available on amazon at the moment.

[Heygilhey]

The Luxe by Anna Godbersen

it's like gossip girl in the early 1900's ha ha I like cheesey books like this.

but I read The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien in English class and it was soooo good I really recomend this one

[cheekiyaya]

Yeah! I have read "His Dark Materials" trilogy -- The first book is Northern Lights, but better known as "the golden compass".

The 3 books are superb! I love the books so much!

[fatdad]

all of the prey books are great.
last read sudden prey. find them for a .25 or 1.00 at flee markets.

[violett]

i started to read/hear all the novelbooks/audiobooks of john katzenbach.
he write large books and goes deep in the characters.

[dawnML]

i'm in my jane austen phase; i'm trying to get all her books read, and am pretty close. i'd recommend reading pride & prejudice of course!, emma (which clueless is based on), persuasion, mansfield park, and sense and sensibility. northanger abbey is okay too.

[aznjosh]

i am legend is a great book, much better than the movie

[Neetai]

The Best book of all time has to be the Bhagavat-gita. It was written far before any other book and can answer all your questions about life.

[Light-]

Hmm i'm looking for a new author, but i'm having trouble finding one thats on the same level as Michael Chrichton

[hobbit]

I started reding Tolkien's Lord of the rings. It's great!

[Joshjb]

I recently read The Pelican Brief by John Grisham and The Third Twin by Ken Folliet.

My favorite book of all, though, is The Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. :)

[ankh]

I just finished rereading Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Really thoughtful novel.

[Moose_Island]

I just finished Jarhead. Started on Northern Lights although I'.m not liking it too much.
Before Jarhead I read The Third Reich, can't remember the author but it gave a great incite into the actions of the Nazi's and Hitler during WW2 and 1.

[Universal]

charles ****ens great expectations is engrossing enough

[pokesy]

You should really try the xanth series by piers anthony.

[jazzlost]

Just read The Kite Runner and highly recommend it.

[deppeldepp]

i recently read "der Prozess" by franz kafka. that book was quite disturbing from time to time..

[Jenny]

the last book I've read was called He's Just Not That Into You. It's a "no-excuse guide to learning to about guys" or something... Anyway, it was really enlightening and insightful. I really liked it.

[jaste]

I am a big sci-fi fan, i love books from Asimov, his stories are addictive. But lately i am reading only textbooks.

[dam36]

I just read the newspaper and sometimes a tom clancy's book...

[Amz]

I enjoyed Mirrors and Smoke by Neil Gaiman, a collection of his short stories and poetry which is mostly fantasy, some sci fi and some really creepy stuff I would call horror... But probably even more I loved Fast Forward 1: Future Fiction From the Cutting Edge, a scifi anthology edited by Lou Anders. Some of the best science fiction I have ever read (and I've read a fair bit). I know a lot of people aren't big on short stories, but there was nothing wrong with form for these stories, except some I wished would continue. It was great for finding good scifi authors too, I highly recommend it.

[gaby0189]

OMG i am a huge bookworm!! seriosuly! i have read soo many books and i even forget teh names of some of the novels LOL i love Barnes & Nobles. But if you all are intrested in a good read, I highly recommend : Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis, its a powerful OMG autobiography that hooks you even if you arent a fan of the RHCP frontman. Believe me i have convinced alot of my friends to read it and they get hooked.

[JimmyPie]

Best book i've ever read was Catch-22, but i've read most the discworld books too and they're amazing

[Amz]

Best book i've ever read was Catch-22, but i've read most the discworld books too and they're amazing


Catch-22 is an all time favourite for me too. Hilarious. Terry Pratchett is pretty good with the discworld books, athough I hated The Hogfather.

[squeeze]

Everybody should read Heart of darkness!
The movie Apocalypse now is based on it, it's very different (location and time) though.
Anyway it is a must.

[Nikse]

I've read Trudi Canavan "Black Magician Trilogy" and "The Age of Five Trilogy" several times. Very nice books.

Harry Potter and the Disc-World books are also nice

[zajhein]

Just finished the books Dexter is based off of. They're pretty good, but very short compared to the show, also only the first season is based on the first book. But they also tend to be more fantasy/fictional than the show as well, which kinda threw me when i started reading them. Good overall tho.

Other than that, I've read neil gaimen's ananasi boys, azimove's early years, and the early ayn rand. Interesting to see how famous authors started out.

[wolvenmensch]

I'm a fan of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.

[packrich]

Just bought myself an ebook reader, found a huge range of ebook novels available on the net, strongly recommend the investment, enjoyed Dale Brown's - Strike Force. Have a e-library of over 2000 novels great stuff..

[faiz.611]

i read a lot of fantasy adventures a few that stick in the mind...

Dark material trilogy by Phillip Pullman
the wind singer ...William Nicholson..

and my personal favorite angels and demons by dan brown...

[kuopo]

I just finished "stardust" by neil gaiman and currenlty I'm reading Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel by Susanna Clarke along with Eric by Terry Pratchett...

[hairetic]

last book i read was the "Eisenhorn" Omnibus from Dan Abnett.
One of the best Dark SCiFi Novels ever in my opinion.

Now i work myself through the "Ravenor" Trilogy (also by Dan Abnett)

[ferkojozko]

have so much read for uni that i dont really have time to read anything else. but if u want something about democracy -> G Sartori is great;)

[Kennobi]

Just started in the second volume of The BAroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson. It is pure genius, truly unlike anything I have ever read before

[millerped]

They are kinda old but Piers Anthony's- Incarnations of Immortality- collection rocks.
Starts with On A pale Horse, It's about Thanatos (the Grim Reaper).
All of the "gods" are just humans with that job.
great stuff

[Chowder]

My recommendations:
1. "The Spanish Game" by Charles Cumming
2. "The Colour of Law" by Mark Gimenez
3. "The Broker" by John Grisham
^^
Fun thrillers!

[welshemma]

philippa gregory, i love historical fiction, loved her book the constant princess

[00000]

Colin Forbes, i read everyone of his books before he passed away last year. They were murder mystery novels like CSI

[audreedee]

I just finished Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. It was so sweet and touching. I'm also trying to work my way through Atonement.

[merryl]

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen - i was so surprised to find that i really love that style!

[winterlight]

Bill Bryson A short history on nearly everything

[Peter!]

Jinx, by Brian Michael Bendis.

Yes its a graphic novel.
but its like 500 pages of pure beauty

[winterlove]

A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
and Atonement by Ian McEwan

[papajahat]

campus ceo by randall pinkett..good reference for student who want to be entreprenuer

[antonyfl]

There was a rewrite of Alice in wonderland... called The Looking Glass Wars. Its actually pretty good and not what you think

[Rachael4164]

Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Catherines both by John Green. Would highly recommend both and I just finished 13 Little Blue Envelopes which was good but I probably wouldn't go around recommending it.

[Miloshizza]

When Nietzsche Wept by Irvin D. Yalom. Awesome book.

[dirtyplebeian]

The Other Boleyn Girl. Starts out pretty slow but it's far better than the film that was based on it.

[snapper73]

I'm somewhat of a bookworm, but I read less than i did when i was younger.
the most recent book was 'Blood River ' .. story about experiences of journalist travelling through the Congo present day .. eye opening stuff
and I highly recommend it!

[ycbc27]

i'm not much of a reader.. more of a TV show watcher.. which is why this forum is awesome hehe
but the best book i have read in a while is DaVinci code. i'm sure everyone has heard of that.... haha

[GeneticalAnomaly]

Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" and Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series are excellent fantasy reads.

[dingo22uk]

Can't stop won't stop - A History of the Hip Hop generation by Jeff Chang
Does what it says on the tin, from back in the day, gang culture of the sixtees, Afrika BamBaata to up to date modern hip hop.

Bloggs 19 - The Story of the Essex Boys Range rover killings.
I watched the film "Rise of the Foot Soldier" and Bloggs (aka Darren Nchols) was the grass that gave away the killers.
Great film and very good read, even if their world is a bit darker than my own

[red_devilz]

Im currently reading Sidney Sheldon's 'If Tomorrow Comes'.

[justjenn]

Hello everyone! I'm happy to see there's a thread like this in here :) I'm always looking for a good book to read, and can never really pick something out...lol...so reading all of your recommendations is great!

[mantrox]

Cool topic I didn't know that so much people still read books ;) My favoutite writer is Stephen King but currently I'm reading David Gibbons' "Atlantis".

[Exiled.Muse]

I love to read, mainly sci/fi fantasy but I haven't had much time to do that since I got into college. I think the last thing I read that wasn't for school was William Gibson's Neuromancer.

[wormy]

try reading fingersmith.. got the book when i was on a holiday before going on a flight one the days... has got some twist which actually is actually quite interesting

[lazybanana]

I'm not sure how old everyone is, but the most engrossing book I've read recently is "Geek Love" by Katherine Dunn. It's about a family of "carnies" or carnival attractions (i.e., "freaks"), and it's disturbing and bizzare, but also a rather moving story about family dynamics at the same time. I absolutely couldn't put it down.

[mansarde]

I can totally recommend The Dark Tower Series from Stephen King!
I'm currently reading the last book (7'th) and it's very hard to stop reading.
I really like the setting and the atmosphere.

[kennyng]

Hello... I am new here. Nice to meet u guys ^^V. I dont know about you guys but I love to read more of self-help book. I am currently reading Why not you? by Valorie Burton . And i think is a good book

[the_dark_bull]

Try the assasin's trilogy by robin hobb wiked series, enjoyed it a lot got hooked to it like crazy :D

[Moose_Island]

Just finished reading Man vs. Beast, part of the Cherub series. I'd recommend it to anyone my age, 14-17.

[imasailor]

I recommend The Book Thief and of course Lolita by Nabokov. :)

[stranglingwinter]

the sun also rises by hemingway is a good one

[chucky0n3]

For people who like Harry Porter, I recommend you try "The Moon of Gomrath" and "The Weirdstone of Brisingamen" by Alan Gardner. I read them about 20 years ago and they beat any of Rowling's books.

The Wheel of Time is nice series but it was never finished since Robert Jordan has passed away.

A series I would recommend is Dune by Frank Herbert. Although it is best enjoyed in sequence, each book has a proper ending so you won't be left frustrated waiting for the next book to come out. By the way, I only recommend the original series. The later series written by Frank's son seems to be popular according to the blurbs but I find them boring.

Books I would recommend are:
Tiger! Tiger! by Alfred Bester (SF)
Null A! by A.E. Van Vogt (SF)


Series I would recommend are:
The Sharpe series by Benard Cornwell (Historical)
The Amber series by Roger Zelazny (Fantasy)
The Southern Vamp series by Charlaine Harris (Fantasy)
The Hammer and The Cross by Harry Harrison (Historical Fantasy)
The Stainless Steel Rat series by Harry Harrison (Humorous SF)
The Drenai Series by David Gemmell (Fantasy)
The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher (Fantasy)
The Codex Alera by Jim Butcher (Fantasy)
Lovejoy series by Jonathan Gash (Humorous Crime)
The first 8 or 9 books of the Anita Blake series, after that our heroine turns into a whiny bitch.

For teens or kids - any books by Andre Norton or Diana Wynne Jones, the Earthsea series by Ursula K. Le Guin.

There are lots more books I'd like to recommend but can't recall them offhand at the moment.

[gaurav]

i would recommend 'the good earth' by pearl. s. buck.it is amazing.

[Moonshine]

I'm just reading 'Break no Bones' by Kathy Reichs and so far it's great, but I'm just at the beginning.

[Rae1340]

I just started The Host by Stephenie Meyer last night. I love her Twilight series.

[Redmen69]

CrossFire by Andy Mcnab, the latest one in his Nick Stone novels. Very good.

[Selenay]

I'm currently reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by J.R. Ward... It's a mix between fantasy (vampires) and romance. I highly recommend this for ppl who like romance with some 'you know what' scenes. :D

[star12]

john grishams book runaway jury is wow..just too good

[Gonzie]

john grishams book runaway jury is wow..just too good

i thought the brethren was better

[Jessica24]

I've started to read The Chronicles Of Narnia again. That big book is very good if you are into the fantasy.

[atrain74]

I am a huge Stephen King fan, as a matter of fact, I just finished his new book titled - Duma Key It is classic King. Great book, easy read. Ya'll should check it out, seriously!

[atrain74]

Shoot! I forgot to even mention Mitch Alboum. He has fairly short stuff but it is really brilliant. Tuesdays with Morrie, Five People You Meet in Heaven and he's got another one that I haven't read yet, I saw that Oprah's Company made a movie of it though. Might check that out. Anyway, yea, really good.

[atrain74]

I've noticed that ALOT of people are into fantasy books - have any of you read the "Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice. I want to say it's seven books deep - can't remember now. Anyway, good read if you're into vampires and such.

[atrain74]

I love that series! Which one is your favorite? I think mine is The Vampire Lestat. Good Stuff! I should really read these before I post. I didn't think that anyone was in Anne Rice, but alas, here on page 24 there you are. I'm way back of 33. Anyway, enjoy!

[galer]

stephanie meyer twilight ... one of the best vampiric love novels i've read

[Oceanic815]

Ooh Galer, I've been wanting to read Twilight for ages! My friends tell me it's good. I'm skeptical though - I'm a Harry Potter fan, and sadly a fault in our species is that we are afraid another book is gonna come along and knock us out of our bubble. :Wink:

Seriously though, I recently read Memoirs of a Geisha and it's one of the best books I have ever read. It's very well written, and it is amazing how you feel like you are exploring the culture and experiencing this world so vividly as you read... I could not put it down! I recommend it to anyone looking for something not sci-fi/fantasy, but still VERY good! Give it a shot! :Content:

[savo_24]

Robert Jordans - Wheel of Time series best fantasy books ever written imo

Harry Potter books

David Gemmells books too (many to list) great heroic fantasy

Trudi Canavans - Black Magician Trilogy

[zipkare]

i've just read improbable from adam fawer. i liked it. then i've just begun to read empathy. that seems good, i recommend both.

[blackbox2342]

I'd reccomend 24/7 about a reality show on an island where all the production crew suddenly die - Good twist at the end. It's by Jim Brown I think.

[spyra]

"What get your there, might be a dead end" it's a management book. pretty good

[Whizzykid]

Anyone read the phillip pullman books, His dark materails. There reli good and there making a film of the first one this year.

Yeah really like this series but tbh didn't really dig the film, terrible acting, mainly Lyra let it down for me! Love that name thou, if i ever have a baby girl, this is a top name!

[khan4]

I read "Next" by Michael Crichton - Good read, if you like neo-science fiction, all his books are neo-science so I really enjoy them. If you like murder and mystery then James Patterson is the man you want to read - he's also pretty good.

[Acid]

well I really loved middlesex and the virgin suicides but if yu guys like books check out this site its ging thru a few hard times at the mo but im sure it'll be back up soon
http://intexblogger.com/

p.s anyone got go ask alice in pdf everyone has been telling me that book is ill and i wanna see it 4 myself

[maddiedk1974]

The Dexter books are good, the 2nd book (dearly devoted dexter) I think is the funniest. I also like Harlan Coben, Tess Gerritsen, Lee Child (I love the Jack Reacher character) and Simon Beckett books. I have no fav books as such.

[jason2k03]

hi there,

i read quite alot. at least a couple books a month.

i've found that david gemmell is an excellent writer although he's no longer with us. Any of his books are well worth the reading.

As for others i've just found that matthew reilly is another good writer. His first book (I think) is Contest. A guy gets pulled into an interstellar contest where the rules are simple. around 7 enter only one leaves. the premise has probably been done before but the book is written so fast paced that it doesnt take long at all to get through it. his other books are just as fast. he has a way of engagin the reader with all the action and also put in alot of info but makes it easily disgestable. I'd recommend him to anyone.

trudi canavan with either series that she's done is worth the read as well as clive cussler. both write great books.

[jameswmcl]

Big Jeffrey Deaver fan currently reading The Paper Doll

[A-HK]

Have just read Iain M. Banks "Inversions", which while part of his SF "Culture" series, is only so if you are aware of the clues; otherwise it reads like a medieval adventure. Regardless of what genre it is, the writing is beautiful, reminds me a bit of Gene Wolfe's "Torturer" series.

[bobi_mkd]

I've just finished reading "Alexander the Great" by Arthur Weigall.

It's about Alexander - the world's greatest conqueror. In this book the author pays attention not only to Alexander kingship and conquers, he also describes the times before Alexander was born, the situation in his homeland Macedonia and the years when his father Philip II was king.

If you like historical books then you'll love this one. Great book!

[kiriona]

I also love His Dark Materials, which are probably my favourites books right now. I'm currently reading Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and I'm finding it very gripping, and I recently finished Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, which I also thought was very good.

[Jack-Ianto88]

I just got done reading the third novel in the Vampire Academy series. It's called Shadow-Kiss and it's absolutely amazing. I recommed that any vampire/twilight fans read this. it has romance, action, sorrow, angst, everything. The Night World books are also amazing. they're about the supernatural world too.

[Moonshine]

I'm reading 'Dark Lover' right now, out of the 'Black Dagger Brotherhood' series.

So far it's good, but I just finished the first chapter.

[Oiolosse]

I suggest you read the lord of the rings. if you like that you can continue reading the Silmarillion, the Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-earth and The Children of Hurin. At least this is what I've done ;)

[beatit]

I love Lord of the rings. The Road is not bad too. I just finished reading "Veronica wants to die".

Great book!

[joffers]

Just finished reading Galilee by Clive Barker...

[skinnylipid]

For me it would have to be the 'wheel oif time' series by Robert Jordan. He died part wayt through writing the final book, but they've found someone to finnish it off in his name, so that's what I'm waiting for.

My personal favourate would have to David Edding's Belgariad & Malorean books along with his elenium & tamuli books. Both series have seriouse re-readablity factor!!!!!!!!!

[tempster]

I just love the whole "Darkelf Trilogy" and all the other series that evolved around it (like the new "The Sellswords") from R.A. Salvatore.
It's (beside Lord of the Rings) the greatest fantasy book series I read so far.

[ooobanana]

My friend managed to talk me into reading Twilight, which have turned out to be pretty good so far. Yeah I know I'm a bit late, but better late than never.

[debunked]

Just reading George RR Martin's ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' at the moment. One of the best reads ever, a true epic. Started the third book in the series ''A Storm of Swords'' and its just as good as its predecessors.

Harry Potter is a great series as well, as is His Dark Materials and Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit, The Silmarillion and Children of Hurin by Tolkien, arguably better than LOTR in my opinion.

[bocianka1]

Just read a new book called The Stormcaller by Tom Llyod. very good.

[qwertyuser3941]

I have been re-reading some of the old classics.

I had not read any of these since high school. Back then it was a chore. Now it is a pleasure.... ha ha ha.

I have been going back to Steinbeck and Hemingway recently.

[theonemiso]

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series! Hilaaaarious!:Rofl:

[Sam8]

Dan Brown, Angels and Demons, best book ever! Doesnt get the attention the Da Vinci Code gets, but its a much better book!

[terry101]

I`ve just read the first five Discworld novels, absolutely love them. Also recommend Tad Williams Otherland Series, although I`ve only just read the first part City of golden shadow. It`s a great fantasy novel about VR and might be interesting to read for computer buffs. Although it took me a while to get into it I really liked it, and will start reading part 2 as soon as I`ve finished the lovely Wyrd sisters ;-)

And the last chapter of the Wheel of time finally comes out in September or October, it`s called The Gathering Storm. I sure hope it`s not a let down.........

[tauramandil]

just read "Imperium" from Robert Harris, it's sort of a fictive biography of Cicero
pretty good book, especially if you liked the show Rome

[dddx]

Currently reading "What Price Liberty?" by Ben Wilson, quite readable so far.

[danial]

I just love Sherlock Holmes other than that not much particular book interests.
read Da vinci code and the other part the angels and demons. They were very entertaining.
Do read them if you haven't

[Naranja]

A Couple of weeks ago I finished "A Brave New World" (it's correct like that, isn't it?) by Aldus Huxley.
Great book, at some points a bit weak, but great over all.

[IdaO]

I love books, I read way too much :P At the moment I'm reading Wuthering Heights for the second time, and I still love it, would definitively recomend it. I guess it's not for everyone though.

Another book I really liked was The Shadow of the Wind. It's about books :D Sort of. It was beautiful.

A book that maybe not so many of the non Swedish/Norwegian speaking people have read is the Arn-triology. But it is so great, I love history, and it has a lot of it, as well as a really good plot. There may be a bit too many names and places to remember sometimes, but it's still amazing. That is one of the books that I HAVE to have with me everytime I move.

And I can't recomend books without mentioning Lord of the Rings of course, probably been done already, but still, if anyone hasn't read them, go do it!

[evilduck]

I've been reading Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. I'm annoyed that I didn't discover his books earlier, but at least I have lots to read! I'm only about halfway through at the moment.

[Moonshine]

I'm nearly done with Dark Lover.
Love the story of Wrath and Beth.

[lilly37]

the talisman is areally good book i reading the sequal black house

[UltimaAvatar]

Over The past few months I have been reading David Baldacci's Camel Club series, I can recommend.

[Atara]

Just read the new Terry Goodkind book 'law of Nines'

The fact they are advertising it as a thriller and saying that people who have not read his previous books can pick it up and enjoy it all the same is a bit of a lie as there are so many references and little 'in-joke' type things that if you don't spot them you'd be missing loads of the good bits.

It was a good book, but a bit lazy and formulaic and predictable. Although I don't know if I just think this because I know the Sword of Truth series so well.

[terry101]

Almost finished with part 4 of the Otherland Series, and absolutely love it. I`m really sorry to see it end........:sad: On the other hand I can finally get to my next Discworld novel......:nowink:

[Oiolosse]

Otherland is great. I've begun A song of Ice & Fire and finished the first book A game of thrones. I'm reading the second book A clash of kings now. I can really recommend this series to every one who loves classic fantasy.

[robsgirl]

I will read almost anything, but I love vampire stories, Dracula, The morganville series, the Twilight series and the Sookie Stackhouse series being my favourites. also Steven King, The Harry Potter books. Nora Roberts and Virginia Andrews.

[terry101]

Otherland is great. I've begun A song of Ice & Fire and finished the first book A game of thrones. I'm reading the second book A clash of kings now. I can really recommend this series to every one who loves classic fantasy.


Already have these on my wishlist at amazon (with approx. 100 other books) :happy:........ and Memory, Sorrow and Thorn........aaah, so many books, so little time :ohmy: (with all the stuff I dl here and watch :nowink:)

[Gin]

*new person*
For those og you who understand Norwegian: My favorite series of books have to be Skogland (Forestland) written by a Norwegian author by the name of Thore Hansen. It's really awsome in the way it can easily be transfered into our community or just be read as fantasy books. It suits both kids, young adults and adults since there are some hidden meanings you discover as you mature. :ph34r:

Read all of the (published) Twilight books before the movie came, love them. And have read every Eragon books except for the last one. Love those two. Those are pretty much the only books I can read more then once without getting bored :laugh:

[bunyip88]

For fantasy books I've always loved the earlier Feist books like Magician, Silverthorn etc.

[SmilingLiza]

reading labyrinth by kate mosse.. actually its taking me a while to read since i dont have much time but seems like a good book..!

[coffeelover402]

i love any of the twilight sbooks or the harry potter series

[coveman]

Books? Read? I usually just watch the movie and then wait 'till the book comes out.

[Moonshine]

Nice to know.
Kinda senseless to the conversation though.

Last book I read was one of the Stargate books. Really not bad.

[britta]

I love to read some really good books which capture me for some days. The last really good ones I have read were the novels written by David Baldacci (almost all of them are really good) and I enjoyed reading Tom Clancy's: The sum of all fears. (the book is better then the movie!).

[sweetbaby_millen]

lately, the best I've read is the twilight saga (but i'm still reading it XD)

[Conzy]

I LOVE TWILIGHT, SUCH GREAT BOOKS! s

[Moonshine]

lately, the best I've read is the twilight saga (but i'm still reading it XD)
Reading that too at the moment. Though I always have at least two books I'm reading at the same time. *lol*

[evina]

1. "Catch-22" Heller Joseph
2. "Мастер и Маргарита" Michaił Bułhakow
3. "Das Parfum" Patrick Suskind
:cool:

[JamesyB]

Harry potter book. If you've followed it as long as i have its mental! :D

[chazzwozere]

I Recommend Jonathan Ross Why Do I Say hese Things

[pogue_muh_hone]

I'm not a huge Twilight fan, but a friend of mine gave me "The Twi****e Saga: New Moan" and it's basically a book making fun of Twilight. It's hilarious and lots of adult content. I'm enjoying it so much more than she did, but then again she read the original books.

[SATOSHI]

yeah i read warcraft wars of the ancients:P

[Jessica.]

The last book I read recently was Heat Wave by "Richard Castle". I was excited that they actually made a real book like he was writing on the show, because I love Castle.

I'm reading 'Call of the Weird' by Louis Theroux, it's a follow-up on some of the people he's met during filming of his documentaries. I really love his work!

I'm just finishing with one of the Stargate books right now.
Good book. Interesting topic and the people were actually in character. ;)

Recently I've read "The Big show" by pierre clostermann
It's his memmories from the time where he was pilot in the royal airforce
during the WWII.

If you like action you will be served, I don't know how but the author manage to make you believe you're in the plane while you're reading, it's very an intense book.

If you love history and the WWII then this book is definitively worthwhile

I would definitely like to read that one.

I'm an English major so pretty much all I do is read. I just finished reading the play "The Country Wife" by William Wycherley for a course that I'm taking. For non-educational reading, I'm about 200 pages into The Return: Nightfall from the Vampire Diaries series of novels.

Nice to know.
Kinda senseless to the conversation though.


so true moonshine *lol*


For fantasy books I've always loved the earlier Feist books like Magician, Silverthorn etc.

That`s what I`m reading right now, Magician was great, hope Silverthorn doesn`t disappoint, but looks good so far......

I'm not a huge Twilight fan, but a friend of mine gave me "The Twi****e Saga: New Moan" and it's basically a book making fun of Twilight. It's hilarious and lots of adult content. I'm enjoying it so much more than she did, but then again she read the original books.

I honestly didn't know that book existed! Thank you so much for mentioning it! I'm currently reading Gregory Maguire's Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West

I read Wicked, too, and loved it :-) Right now I`m reading George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, book 2, fantastic books, great storytelling, that`s a book I`d love to see on film, made by Peter Jackson :-)

I'm reading The mortal instruments right now, a YA fantasy series of books, and it's pretty amazing. Lovin' it, and the characters. I do recommend it to anybody that likes YA fantasy, really, it's great =)

I like to read Arther C. Clarke for science fictions. He has made it quite clear over the years that he discounts nothing. He knows that the possibility exists for there to be extraterrestrial life, he just hasn't been lucky enough to have seen any evidence. It a wise, scientific stance. I think he would be delighted to find such evidence.

Anyone read the phillip pullman books, His dark materails. There reli good and there making a film of the first one this year.
I read it but not completed yet if any read this then please tell something about this due to hectic schedule I have not much time and for that I appreciate in advance.

I'm thinking of starting 'Eat Pray and Love' before the movie is released in September (where I live). It's been so hard these days to find a good book, a book with which we can really 'connect'.. as hard as to find a nice boyfriend these days haha. I strongly advise 'Norwegian Wood' by murakami. The book is awesome ! I was obsessed for days.. couldnt leave it.

[fraacka]

I would recommend all books from Christopher Moore, he`s a hillarious genius!!!!
And also allways worth reading: Matt Ruff! love this guy :-)

[Whimax]

I enjoy reading Ted Dekker. He may be a Christian author, but I don't find him preachy.

[Mak_unima]

Hmm... while not an incredibly great book, Kazuo Ishiguros Remains of the Day was a pretty good read.Havent had much time for casual reading lately.

I'm not a big reader but Anthony Horowitz in the Alex Rider series is amazing

[Zelda]

one of the most addictive and brilliant series that I recently discover is the Morganville series by Rachel Caine. It still being written so there not ending yet. If you had like Twilights you will love it. I actually read a load of other series recently but not finished them yet. I am currently reading P.C. Cast Partholon series, still not finish it yet but its brill so far.
