Title: Books
Post by: Fenrir on May 03, 2009, 04:47:13 PM
I just figured that since I'm a newcomer to the forum and am somewhat of a bookworm that this would be a good way to break the ice.  Okay, simple rules.  Just list your three favorite books in order.  Mine are...

1. Life of Pi
2. Eragon
3. The Road (Insanely depressing, but a great book)

But there are so many more...

I love books, I could sit here all day and rave about my favorites, but that would be about everything I read. :D

Here is a partial list, though:

Sphere by Michael Crichton
English Passengers by Matthew Kneale
Foundation series by Isaac Asimov
Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
A Series of Unfortunate Events series by Lemony Snicket
Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn (also a series, currently on starting book 2, 'Grass For His Pillow')
various cookbooks, particularly one on street food around the globe that I can't remember the name of.
Usagi Yojimbo, graphic novels by Stan Sakai (furry samurai!)
so many more, I will list them later...  :)

I used to read a lot more when I was younger. I haven't read many books since then.
I'm Still a big fan of the Discworld series though, but I've lost some of the books I had.

Out of the ones I still have my favourites are
1. The Light Fantastic
2. The Last Continent
3. Interesting Times

No offense, but I though Brisingr was terrible. It didn't make any sense.

But I love the other two.

^^ Teehee. I loved Brisngr. And I got it just fine. But the other two were even better.

It's not that I didn't understand it, it just didn't make sense and it contradicted itself a lot.

I don't know why, but this thread made my love for books grow alot.

1. Be Safe (I read this one so many times)
2. The Harry Potter series
3. Life of Pi (Not sure if it's the same one as you, I didn't read it in english)

I read alot of other books, by Franz Kafka and Tolstoi, but they were mandatory to my class, and I didn't enjoy them much.

I used to do almost nothing BUT read books (and play games) but since I found The Furry Forums, my reality is far better than any fantasies, thanks to my fwiends ^^

I've read a lot of books, but unfortunately I don't remember most of them. Heh.

I did really enjoy Stephenie Meyer's "The Host". The Eragon series is good too, and Harry Potter of course. Oh, definitely "Peeps" by Scott Westerfield as well.

I don't really read alot either, but I loved the Twilight series, along with the Eragon series.
When I was younger, I loved Little House on the Prarie - By: Laura Ingalls Wilder. :3
And Goosebumps by RL Stine.

Wow! I love seeing that I'm not the only avid reader here!  This thread is reminding me of a lot of great books that I read and forgot about.  And I've actually been meaning to read the Dragonlance series, and book Thief was supposed to be good...  By the way, I just read 1984.  Great book, but incredibly depressing.  Same goes for "The Road."
