favriote book(s) to read?

Kind of bored right now, just wondering what kind of books you guys like to read, right now Im into Ray Bradbury (Farheinheight 451) Ayn Rand (Anthem) and of course George Orwell

Been reading a lot of Terry Pratchett stuff, Some C.S. Lewis, Neil Gaiman, Robert Ludlum and the Bible is always a good read I recommend the Message version its much more fun to read and easy to understand

piers anthony :smile:

Catcher and the Rye was one of my favorites, right now im reading 1984 by George Orwell

The Book of Bunny Suicides.
Little fluffy rabbits who just don't want to live anymore.

If you are a bunny contemplating suicide, this is the book for you.

If I'm in the mood for reading I'll read anything although my favourites are thrillers. Patricia Cornwall is one of my all time favourites.

the bible, especially the book of ecclisiastes, it changed my whole perspective on life.

Porn.








J/K!!! "The Father's Guide to the Meaning of Life" by Joe Kita. :smile: My children are the world to me :iceslolan :smile:

there's porn books? :eek7:

^lots!
anyway i like thoreau's waldon
for now anyway

what are these "Books" you speak of? j/k

i get so overloaded with school reading that i haven't read for pleasure in years. sad ain't it? i really enjoy the calvin and hobbes collections. i have them all. it's all i really have time to read. i liked the book "the things they carried" i forget who wrote it, i wanna say Tim O'Brien. it's one of the few school readings i liked.

If you like Bradbury, try Kurt Vonnegut. I highly recommend The Sirens of Titan. Delightfully depressing.

i read that for sociology last semester, very depressing, i liked it.

I dont really like books, but i enjoyed The Grapes of Wrath

Kudos to those who enjoy Anthem and Walden; both two of my favorites. Atlas Shrugged has been a fave of mine as well.

Right now, I'm reading The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, and will soon be starting Jennifer Government. I have also been known to enjoy Issac Asimov and Kurt Vonnegut.

It's kind of a sci-fi satire of society in a weird way, I can't explain it..just a strange ride. Also good is Slaughterhouse 5.

Oh and if you like Bradbury you need to get one of these two books..

and read the story "Frost and Fire", it is one of his BEST.

I was always partial to Cats Cradle myself. Are YOU a Bokononist?:icon16:

try some Douglas Adams (hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy) amazing books...

vonnegut is good, as are crichton (timeline is amazing)

Coetzee (a bit of a different read, but very good none the less)

ursula leguin's The Lathe of Heaven is another good read...

AHHHHH too many good books to list...

I stared reding this book called : "La Vida Loca" by Luis J. Rodriguez . pretty good

I really enjoy Jules Verne's books

....cant think of anything else for now

Books of travel etc. Or Salman Rushdie, Irvine Welsh, Lance Armstorng, all sorts of things.

I know it's a kids book, but the tripod trilogy is my favorite by John Christopher. It has to be good it's one of the best selling trilogies of all time. Other wise my favorite author is Robert Ludlum, unfortunately he died a few years ago but has well over 30 books published.

I've been glued to Lee Child's-Jack Reacher series.

:iagree: Douglas Adams is by far my favorite author. I have the Ultimate HitchHikers Guide, which is a complitation of the series (The HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy, The Restaurant and the End of the Universe, Life The Universe and Everything, So Long and Thanks for all the Fish, Young Zaphod Plays it Safe, and Mostly Harmless. I highly recommend this compliation to anyone...If you wanna read something that will make you laugh really friggin hard definitly pick up a copy.

the lion the witch and the wordrobe is probably my fav book as a kid
You should read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (wrote "Lion, Witch, Wardrobe") It's a complete 360 in terms of writing style, it's hard to like but definitley interesting. Another good book, though not of a high difficulty is "The Giver".

The only thing I read is Cosmopolitan
