Good Books...

Archive: 28 posts


I have school starting next week and i always join book disscussion group...
i was wondering what your favorite books are. Please give the title and a short description.

My Favorite book is World War Z. It's a very well written book that documents many short stories of how people form around the world cope with an outbreak of the liveing dead. I think it should be made into a movie. (if they dont change everything around)

Hmm well...kinda chaildish, but my favourite set of books were Deltora Quest...they centre around three main characters: Jasmine, Barda and Leaf, their adventures and their mission to rid Del from the evil Shadow Lord! These books were epic, even though they are technically Children's Book...I'm sixteen and I still love them! ^^2008-08-17 10:09:00

Oh my God stix, get your butt on msn >_>

Anyway, I don't think there's a point of listing what books I like because you've most likely not heard of them. The book I'm currently reading is Ninja Samurai

Harry Potter series. I think the chronicles of Narnia were better, though.
Watchmen is awesome, that probably tops the list.
Imperium, by Robert Harris.
And I've always liked the Romanov Prophecy better than the Da Vinci Code.

Ugh, I liked Harry Potter right until the fifth book, where J.K. seemed to lose her senses. >_>

The Darren Shan series is made of pure bloody awesome, along with his other series, The Demonata, but I haven't followed up on that series after reading through the first two in the saga.

The best book I've ever read would have to be To Kill a Mocking Bird though.
It has almost no action, but it's so well written, and Aticus is the coolest character in history.
The Count of Monte Cristo also plays upon my plotting side... <_<

Really? Man, I was not a fan of TKaM. I just found the entire thing boring. Once it got the trial it was good, but before that it dragged.

I don't know why, I just liked it, which is strange for my over empowering nature to hate anything not sadistic or lacking crude humor.
Maybe it was Aticus... he's pure awesome.

I read a few years ago, I think I was 12... @_@
No clue how I understood it...

My dad loves Sci Fi and his favorite author is Charles Sheffield. Try any of those. ALSO anything by Charles Dickens is amazing. He uses a ton of huge words but writes it so it's easy to understand.2008-08-18 17:35:00

umm...

a museum expedition into south america goes south after people find a hut made of human skulls... everybody dies on the way back to america.

a few years later a guy in the museum get ripped to sheds with a part of the brain misssing.

there is a monster that used to feed off a plant in south america, but after the americans left, the government burned down the jungle to make room for farms.

the artifacts they took from the hut were packed in that plant, but after the jungle burned down, the plant went extinct.

the monster followed the crate with its food to the museum. eventually he runs out of food and has to eat human brains to get some hormone... thats how the problem starts.

I find [(tenchar)] (minus the brackets) works better than 123etc. Just a personal preference of mine.

See, the ten char. limit needs to be gone!

The last book I read was Procession of the Dead, by Darren Shan.
Gosh, that guy is insane. >_>

Although his books are really good... in the bloody fashion, of course.

John Sinclair stories. But I don't count them as a really book.
I want to read "Feuchtgebiete" (I guess there is no translated version), it's a book that provokes the population.. it was discussed alot in the TV.. it's written by a woman, and in the book she writes everything 'bout her sexual-live (Feuchtgebiete, may I translate that? )

link to amazon


The book was bestseller, but how you can see, many people don't like it:

5 Sterne: 23% (216)
4 Sterne: 10% (102)
3 Sterne: 7% (71)
2 Sterne: 8% (83)
1 Sterne: 49% (463)
