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

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.

Plato's Phaedrus (or any work by Plato, really...)
Candide by Voltaire Flatland by Edwin T. Abbott Great Mischief by Josephine Pinckney Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice And anything by Kafka, Poe, or Hawthorne... Oh, and Flannery O'Connor's short stories are excellent too.

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. |
