Books, for all of us bookworms out there!

I know I can't be the only bookworm on the forum, so I'm creating this thread for us to talk about our favorite/least books, authors, recomandations and so on and so forth. I'm mainly a manga/fantasy/scifi/historical fiction kind of gal, though I will read other stuff!! Lets see, some of my favorite authors are:

Tamora Pierce
Gath Nix (I LOVE him!!! Woot for Mogget!! )
Robin Mckinley
Juliet Mariller

So, what are yours? Please share!

Meg Cabot and Anthony Horowitz are my faves as of now.

Robert Muchamore-Cherub series
Garth Nix-Keys of the Kingdom series
Isaac Asimov-Science fiction, and the Three Laws of Robotics (Loved I Robot and Bicentenial Man)
David and Leigh Eddings-The Dreamers Quadrology

Ah, I love Meg Cabot too CM!!! Her Princess Diaries books are awesome, and I love the Mediator series!!

Oooh, you like Garth Nix too DH? *dances around happily* I've only read Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen, but I LOVE them. Don't you just adore Mogget? Hmmm, maybe I'll make a siggy for myself of him. . . I love his sarcastic attitude!

Actually, I stopped reading the Princess Diaries around the fourth book, but I read the Mediator series and all her adult novels (greatest stuff ever).

I especially like "Size 12 is Not Fat". Her best work, in my opinion. LOL

Actually, I don't think I've ever read any of her adult books. *sweat* Would you mind giving me a list or recommending a few? I love her writing and I would love to devour more!

Here's her list. They're all good, so either one is great.

Boy Next Door
Boy Meets Girl
Every Boy's Got One
Queen of Babble
Size 12 Is Not Fat

Hope you find them.

Hmm...Asimov. CGM, have you read Asimov? He's SOOO GOOD! I mean, the exploration of a psychological setup that is supposedly more closer to the definition (Christian definition) of human is soo awesomely astounding!

It's like, imagine a race more human than humans. Robots, as according to Asimov's writings. Because they all serve and exist to further the existence of the humans, etc. It's really mind boggling. Also trying to read Allende. And Golding is pissing the shit out of me. Sorry.

Ah, mucho thanks CM!! I'm going to go to the library right after school and look for them!

Lets see, more favorites of mine. . .

J.R.R. Tolkien (the Master!! *bows*

J.K. Rowling (Even though 6 ticked me off >_<)

Terry Brooks If you have not read him and you like fantay, go read him now!!!!

JKR should give us more of Fred and George. They're like, my idols. XD

I liked Lord of the Flies (wicked Belzebub translation), DH. I had lots of fun analyzing that book, actually. The parallel with politics was amazing. Plus, I had fun hating Jack. RALPH POWER! GO BLONDIE AND DEMOCRACY! (Though I'll say, the lil'uns were SO ANNOYING AND STUPID. Even though they were a the personification of the foolish masses).

The religious analogy was sort of weird too, but I still liked Simon. He was a good guy. And so air-headed. :hearts:

Also, gotta love the Beast. Great parallel.

As for reading sci-fi, I know it might sound like a blasphemy, but I'm not into it at the moment. I used to be, but I've been into chick-lit for a while, lol. Too many cute boys to count.

Then again, my personal life has been turning into chick-lit recently, so I might take you up on the suggestion. Who knows? Maybe then my life will turn into a sci novel. Sweet.

^ I second that motion!

Speaking of books paralell with our own reality, if you want something that's depressingly accurate, you should try George Orwell's 1984. It's probably more relevant now than when it was written, which is kinda freaky.

I've actually been reading a lot of classical books lately, like Gone With The Wind and The Count of Monte Cristo, but I'll always have a special place in my heart for the Redwall books. They're like a guilty pleasure XD

That and Death Note

Lol. Sounds like Fred and George should get their own books!

Ooh, I've never read the Count of Monte Cristo, but I loved both versions of the movie. I should think about picking it up, neh? I also like Ivanhoe. That's got everything you could ever want in a novel!

Ah, CM, I picked up the Boy Next Door from the library, and I'm gonna read it now!! Then I shall have to wait until the others come in. . .

What other kinds of Chick lit do you read? I've been trying to find some good ones. I need a break from my epic novels/series that I love reading

Well, so far, I read Sophie Kinsella, but frankly she just doesn't have the wit and charm and style of Meg Cabot. IMHO, at least.

OOOHHHH my favourite books hmmm:

Two weeks with the queen by Morris Glietzman!
I recommended this book to alot of friends and i am going to recommend it to you guys!!! go and read it it's a great read. Sad yet meaningfull. It's a childrens book which makes it UBER KOOL!!!

Death of an Ancient King by Laurent Gaude
This book is the First full on war book i have read! there's alot of blood and gore! esp family betrayal and deception!

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Gold
I love this book. Well if you loved the movie then im sure you will love the book. A very facinating culture.

Davinci Code by Dan Brown
I must say this was a very intense read lol not really. I learnt most of the things that were in the book, such as the paintings, in Art History. So nothing came to me as a surprise except where.......go and read it lol. But his other books are pretty much the same (Demons and Angel, Deception POint and Digital Fotress), they are all brainy thrillers which to me share similar plots....eh maybe it's just me!

To kill a Mocking Bird by Harper Lee
I read this book in 5th form. I have read this a million of times and i have only seen the movie once lol! i prefer the book! Go and read it!

OOOHHHH there are so much to write down!

Harry Potter and the Philosiphers Stone By JKR
OOOHHHHH i am seriously in love with the Weasleys!! lol esp the twins! they make me laugh everytime!! I haven't read the whole series but i'm getting there!

The Graft by Martina Cole
OOHHHH i seriously should have not read this book!

OOOHHHH i am gonna stop there! i have too much to write but not enough time! lol!!

In my English Lit class, we had to read Of Mice and Men. I kept imagining that George (not Lenny) was hot. It made the book a lot more fun, and so I actually enjoyed the read.

Even though the end...
