Some of my fav books (in no particular order)

Hitchhikers Guide Series ("The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't." -Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy")

Lord of The Rings (I will read it again some day... honest)

Discworld (I pretty much own all of the books that Terry Pratchett has made... that are published, anyway)

His Dark Materials (although I've not read it for a while)

Schott's Original Miscellany (non-fiction count... ah well)


There are also some books that I hold close to my heart because I liked them as a child, like Rohl Darl (sp?) and the Narnia books and such. I'm sure I've missed some great books here, might post again when its not around midnight and my brain is in the "awake" mode.

Hitchhiker's guide is GREAT.

Also some of the Doctor Who books, mainly the missing adventures (Scales of Injustice).

Also of course there is Dr. Seuss. And ANYTHING by Rohl Dahl.

...I forgot Good Omens (most Terry Pratchett-related books are good IMHO, but Terry's middle Discworld books are better than his early ones) - a few other Buffy and StarTrek books are good, and I suppose I like Harry Potter, but I'm not a fanatic

Lazarus, reading may be power, (actually reading is knowledge and knowledge is power,) but power leads to corruption, and corruption is bad. So stop reading before you kill us all.

I don't see why people liked "To Kill a Mocking Bird" I was thoroughly dissapointed, although Black like Me was rather enjoyable and made me think.

Greenleaf said" The Dragon Lance series are cool "
Ditto to that!!
As well as other Margaret Weis/Tracy Hickman books (The Death Gate Cycle)
I also like the works of R.A. Salvatore (besides Spine of the World)
He is the creator of Drizzt Do'Urden

Also:
The Fey:The Sacrifice
The Fey:The Changeling
The Fey:The Rival
The Fey:The Resistance
The Fey:The Victory
The Black Queen
The Black King

Harry Potter Books are good.

I'm within 20 pages of finishing The Fellowsip of the Ring, but I'll probably never finish it. The characters are unrealistic, it stretches chance (Paraphrase of a Lord of the Rings Quotation:"Thanks for saving us. Now, did you just say that you only come this way twice a year?"), and I just don't like it.

If you're looking for a good laugh, try the Xanth series by Anthony Piers. I'm currently reading Xone of Contention, the 23rd book in the series.

I read a lot of books.

YOU HAVE TO FINISH IT!! Because in the last 2 pages, Sam reveals that he's gay and wants to marry Frodo. OK, well maybe he doesn't really say it, but you know what he's thinking.

I hate those damn songs in LOTR, good thing they left em out of the movie. But I am sad they left out Tom Bombadil (or whatever) He was the best!

I like the Animorph bookserie. It's very exciting and is described very detailed.
I also like The Hitch Hicker's Guidde to the Galaxy serie. It is really fun and goes very deep into some questions about life etc.
And last but not least: The Bible, which is the ground of christian belief.
