favourite books (not comic books)
inspired by jarrah's bond book thread and driven by a scandalous lack of good literature i decided to open this topic
question is simple: what are your favourite books that are not comic books? mine are: - escape from NY - 20000 leagues under the sea - hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy - the animorphs series - the encyclopedia of useless knowledge |
-The Hobbit
-Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -Eaters of the Dead -Dracula -The Wonder Years: Kevin goes to 'Nam |
Enders Game
Harry Potter books The star wars NJO Zahn's heir to the empire trilogy Fallen Angels(this book ****ing rules) |
The Hobbit
Lord of the Rings Resident Evil books |
Dragonlance series
Forgotten Realms series (Drizzt Do' Urden and Clerc Quintet especially) Harry Potter (obviously I love fantasy novels) LOTR imo are overrated as books. I enjoyed the Hobbit quite a bit, but I just don't have the intrest to finish them. I got the entire set for my birthday over 5 months ago and I'm still only part way through the Two Towers. Unlike the Dark Elf Trilogy and the Legacy of the Drow which I finished both, a total of 7 books, in less than 2 weeks. I just couldn't stop reading them. Dragonlance was the same. Especially the first three books. |
I enjoyed Jurassic Park, the book. It was so much better than the movie. Oh and their a few Star Wars books but I can't remember what the name of those were.

Raptor Red (still think this is like, the best book ever)
The Hitchhiker's Trilogy (includes The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and four other stories) The Harry Potter series (well, the first four anyway. Haven't gotten the fifth yet) I used to be a big reader, but I haven't had much time for it lately. |
I can't believe I forgot "The Catcher in the Rye" and "Of Mice and Men". I aslo just finished read "Cavalier and Clay" and that was really good, too.
