I don't feel like naming any more. .-. And if anyone says "Twilight", I will cry. >_< I hate that series with a passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 None, 18 years and could never get into a book. Have yet to complete one that a Highschool would call a "book". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try again:p seriously though if you seen any films that you know were adapted from books you should read them the books are always better.

Aarux Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 There's probably barely anyone that's read this book here. It's called: Death Note: Another Note: Los Angeles BB Murder Cases. I got the book off Amazon. If you like Death Note or mysteries... then get this book. It actually makes you think about the problems the character's go through. It's awesome.

Enkidu Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 The count of monte cristo was a really cool book, War and peace, The plague, The groundwork for the metaphysics of morales and ethics and The three musketeers are my 5 favorite books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraith89 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 A lot of books. I don't have a favorite... but I like the Bible (AV1611) and The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okami Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Bringing this back up, I just finished Ted Dekker's latest, BoneMan's Daughters. It is chilling in every possible way. One of his best yet. </recommendation> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zafur Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I love books. Hmm... Especially Goosebumps and Animorphs as a kid. Harry Potter series Narnia Where the Red Fern Grows - Randomly picked this up in my school's library. Interstellar Pig, and Parasite Pig - This was actually a surprise. The first was on a summer book report list, and everyone knows that they never put interesting books on them. [Or put baby books on it. They put The Sorcerer's Stone on the 6-8th grade list when I read it in about 3rd or 4th. Wtf] Loved it so much I got the sequel. Manga: Read Or Die Read Or Dream Angelic Layer Chobits Love Hina ... Umm. A lot of the rest are books I read when younger and are either dragon related or just plain kiddy.;; Or they're series I haven't finished yet.D: I haven't really done much reading for the more adult audience, I guess.

Okami Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Oh, I just remembered my fave fantasy book, The Redemption of Althalus - David + Leigh Eddings. Good stuff, a nice twist on the story of good vs evil! <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HottSushiz Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 It's such an awesome book everything is so epic. While L and Light are so impossibly smart, in every page it makes you really think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtlekid2 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 My favorite book? Either Artemis Fowl or Airman, both by Eoin Colfer. That's not to say those are the only two I like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evandixon Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Books? What are books?!?!?!:confused: Enough of that. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

Ziz Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 *cough*Twilight Series*cough* I'm sorry, but I really enjoyed those books (Movies suck horribly...hoping New Moon won't be a complete fail). I'm currently reading the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series. So far, its a pretty good series. Well, Kingdom Hearts is the only manga book I've purchased, but I find the Naruto manga pretty exciting. More into anime though...I really don't want 500 books of what I can just watch on TV/Online for free, it costs a bunch to buy all those books. Yeah, I know some things are only shown in the manga, but I'll settle for anime. I used to like The Young Man and the Sea, The Golden Compass, and the Goosebumps series, but they got boring and old.

Zafur Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Watch online for free? Haha. If you're willing to go that far you might as well just... View the manga online for free also. I was told to read the Twilight series by people who have similar tastes as me, but... It seems largely based on romance, and I'm not too interested in books with little plot besides "two teens meet and fall in love". (With minor exceptions, which usually involve plot.) I know it has to have some sort of story to it besides that, but by the other people I've seen reading it... It makes me suspect it's mostly a romance series, and that the other person was reading it simply because they're a vampire junkie. xP If I'm picky in anything, it'd probably be books, as much as I love to read them. There are also other reasons which make me seem less shallow and wary about reading it simply because it appears to be romance based, but I'd rather not get into those. Speaking of Artemis Fowl... I never finished reading that series... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never finished reading that series... I mean, its just a pain to get books and read it once, never use it again, and have 500 of those. Plus, most of those books aren't readily available at book stores so, that's a pain too. Yea, I watch manga online, its just that there are so many parts it makes my head explode. The Twilight series is sort of an actiony-romance kind of thing. Yeah, its mostly about romance with sort of a "forbidden love" feeling. Its just that Stephenie makes you feel and experience what's going on in the books by vividly describing them. Plus, I'm not the kind of person who reads romantic books so IDK why I liked them.

FLOOTENKERP Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Books? What are these books that you speak of? Lol, just kidding, I loved the story "That was Then, This is Now" by S.E. Hinton. One of the first (And only) books I have ever read (And enjoyed) in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
