The Intergalactic Highway

My favorite books are Frankstein by Mary Shelley, One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Candide, Nancy Drew's novels, Paradise Lost, Pilgrim's Progress and some Star Wars novels.

My favorite poems are The Tyger and the Lamb by William Blake(I think).

Plays I read and don't see often but the ones I love is the Crucible, Sleepy Hollow, and Monkey's Paw.

I read many books, a shortlist of my favourites could be:

Death Note: Another Note: The LA BB Murder case files
Deception point
The 4 Transformers Movie novels

and many many more

Book: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggars
Poem: Une Charogne by Charles Baudelaire
Play: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Movie: What Dreams May Come

Another book I read and I have forgotten is Emma by Jane Austin.

Let's make this more interesting: Who is your favorite author or authors?

William Blake and John Militon are a couple of my favorites.

I don't have time to list all the stuff I like right now so I'll name my all time favorite for now.

The Oath by Frank Peretti.

and Redwall by Brian... complicated last name.

As for fave author? the guy who wrote the redwall series he's one of my favorites. I can't spell his last name

Brian Jacques.

And those books are good. I remember our thread about that.

Here's a small list of some of the books recently I've read (recently is just the last two months I believe...)

On Bullshit - H.G Frankfurt

Mindf$cking: A Critique of Mental Manipulation - Colin McGinn (we all know the real word there, but I don't want BWint to kiddify it)

^ Those two books relate to each other and while VERY dry, are amazing a read.

The Wisdom of Whores: Bureaucrats, Brothels, and the Business of AIDS" by Elizabeth Pisani ([A meandering piece, that is quite funny at some points, and poignantly raw in others with the in your face facts, including the horrible way USA,Canada and UK REALLY give AID help to HIV ridden worlds)

Tale of Despereaux - Kate DiCamillo (Cute lil book, nothing heavy but yet, for a child's book, nothing is sugar coated)

The Uses and Abuses of History by Margaret MacMillan (A Canadian author with no holds barred on the dark and twisted history of the world, even North America's)

Small Gods - Terry Pratchett

Good Omens - Terry Pratchet & Neil Gaiman

Stardust (the comic) - Neil Gaiman (I heard this was a movie recently..anyone know if it's any good?)



Unfortunately I don't have my book shelves here to say any others, but this is a rough idea of the books I normally read.

I read a ton of books, so I think Imight have a hard time narrowing it down.

But as books go, I reallly like Holes, and as for series, I like the Narnia series, and other book series, I loved Animorphs and A Series of Unforunate Events.

I also read a lot of Star Wars book, and I'll admit that I really liked The Courtship of Princess Leia.

Anything by Stephen King is a winner to me!! Since he's my favorite author, I can't possibly choose an absolute favorite book.

I also like the Sisters Grimm stories by Michael Buckley and the Maximum Ride books by James Patterson.

Hehe it's funny. I like Patterson's teen reads but not his adult fiction.
