Recommended Readings
 

This is just athread where any of you can post books/comics/or anything you've read that you think other people might enjoy.

I read a lot, comics, magazines, novels, pretty much anything I like.
Here's my list:

Comics:

TMNT-Duh
Crimson- Great Vampire/Werewolf/Monter story, amazing art.
Out There- Done by the same people who did Crimson
Amazing Spider-Man: Romita Jr. is one of the greatest artists alive
Peter Parker: Spider-Man- Ramos who drew Crimson/Out There drew this, great story.


Novels:
The Long Walk- My all time favorite, written by Stephen King, he used his alias, Richard Bachman when he released this, great story, scary, makes you think.
IT- Another Stephen King book, long, but good.
The 13th Warrior(originally 'Eaters Of The Dead')- Good book, sorta funny if you imagine Antonio Banderez as the main chaacter.
Atlantis Found- Good book, some parts are boring, but still good.
Resident Evil series- Best book series I've read.
Weaveworld- Clive Barker, long and good.
The Dictionary- Heh.


Magazines:
Wizard- Good comic book mag.
Toy Fare- Toy magazine, the writers love TMNT too.
GamePro- Just plain good.


So what's your list?

"Eaters of the Dead"? :dead: I couldn't recommend that book. Though I could recommend these:
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Jurassic Park (the book is a lot better than the movie)
Hmm... that's all that comes to mind. If I think of anything else, I'll post it.

Raptor Red by Robert Bakker - Machias will back me on this. Great storytelling set in prehistory. Jurassic Park without all those stupid humans.
Witches Chillers by Silver RavenWolf - A novel series about a coven of teenage witches (no, not the Harry Potter type.) Fun to read, basic teen novels with some cool metaphysics tossed in for excitement.
Harry Potter, all books - *blinks* Don't look at me like that, they're good books.

Books! Heh heh...

For those of you who enjoy a good murder mystery, I highly recommend "And Then There Were None" by Agatha Christie. Also check out "Murder on the Orient Express" by the same author. Absolutely amazing books, with strong characters and complex, jaw-dropping plots.

For those who enjoy a bit of fantasy, I recommend the Dragonriders of Pern series from Anne McCaffrey. I especially enjoyed the Harper Hall Trilogy, which focuses on a girl's struggle to find an identity. Good stuff.

And for anyone out there who's into Shakespeare's stuff, I just finished reading "The Tempest," and I thought it was awesome. :D

I dont really read books, More of a Movie person myself. Of course I had to read some books for school... Still I cant Believe that Reading Jurasic Park would be better Experience reading than Watching it with Big screen and THX sounds...

Eaters Of The Dead is just the old title of The 13th Warrior. It was written by Micheal Chriton, the guy who wrote Jurassic Park.

I know, but that can't change the fact that Eaters of the Dead is far from the greatest book out there But all that aside, how could I forget about "And Then There Were None"? I'll agree, it's a really great book, the ending came as a surpise. But that's what makes Agatha Christie's books so interesting. There's always some surpise twist or turn, so it's never who you think it is. "The Clocks" is another one of her books that stands out in my mind.

The Long Walk is really disturbing, yet it's the best book I've read.

Books eh? here are a couple from my stash of favorites *ahem*:
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galexy
The Salmon of Doubt
The Mahabharata (try to get a good long transilation)
Lord of the Rings
Siddartha
Matilda
Going Solo
The Autobiography of Gandhi

I'd like to add Bruce Campbelle's and Jackie Chan's biographies to my list. Both are funny, good reads.

Ooo a thread close to my heart

I recommend you read :

The Ginger Tree

Memories of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

Good Women of China by Xinran

Waiting

The Great Gatsby
The Scarlet Letter
A Midsummer Night's Dream
The Hobbit
Any of the LOTR books
Cyrano de Bergerac
Fahrenheit 451
The Martian Chronicles

*yawn*...too tired to think of any more.

I just read a book, one of my brothers. It's very good, it's called "A Lycanthropy Reader: Werewolves In Western Culture" It's filled with cool facts, gross info, true stories, really amazing.

*gasp*
I forgot about the Great Gatsby and The Scarlet Letter! Those are awesome books... Definitely must-reads. :)

Bruce Campbell's autobiography ROCKS! He's a great guy too. I've had the pleasure of meeting him at two of his booksignings. You can see a photo from the last one at my Ossifiles site. :D
