Well everyone has their own tastes, so I won't argue with ya haha. The showdown was pretty cool. I guess I was just disgruntled from the first half. Oh well.
Different Seasons by Stephen King. Four lengthy novella's of which three were turned into movies. A great read.
Joel and one of my brothers agree with you about Deathly Hallows. I love it, though I would have to agree that The Half-Blood Prince was probably my favorite of the series. Or Prisoner of Azkaban. I think the award of Heather's ultimate favorite book, though, would have to go to Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Judging from her writing, she and I share a similar sense of humor, which makes it a very enjoyable read. Also, I was introduced to this particular book while going through something very similar to what she was when she decided to write it, so it felt almost like we were going through it together. A difficult thing for other writers to top, I suppose.
The Harry Potter series, of course!! I don't have a favorite, although I loved the whole concept of the Triwizard Tournament in the 4th book.
Definitely a pageturner! Which is your favourite of the bunch? Mine is Apt Pupil, I loved the story, and even the movie with a marvelous Ian McKellen.
From the movies made so far.. I thought Prisoner of Azkaban was by far the best. The latter ones are too gloomy and dark for my taste.
Oh I'm waiting for that book to arrive as I ordered it a while ago. You've just jogged my memory so thanks for that! I've heard lot of good things about Eat, Pray, Love so can't wait to get my hand on it
I love Roald Dahl. My favorites of his were Matilda, James and the Giant Peach, The BFG, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Is it Lame that I did not know there was a book? I actually hated bambi, I can take violence toward and even torture of human beings, but I literally could not handle the Disney Bambi when I was little or even now. Anyway... So the Wind wont Blow it all Away. The Stranger A clockwork Orange (like I said I can handle violence toward humans, but if they did anything to a baby deer...)
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand The two greatest literary achievements of our time, in my opinion. Really the only two novels which agree with my perspective and philosophy. They changed my life, in more ways than one could believe. I place these works on an entirely seperate pedestal than any others, and feel as though I am forever endebted to Mrs. Rand.
V. by Thomas Pynchon House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielzewi Johnny got his Gun - Dulton Thumbro & Crime and Punishment Great, all four of them.
1984 by George Orwell. I really love dystopian fiction for some reason. It teaches us all a lesson or two we should learn and keep in mind.
Where Valor Rests. Especially since I've been to Arlington and I know exactly what they're talking about.
wow, there are so many good ones... ... so it's really hard to pick my favorite books of all times, especially because that all depends on my mood. Here are some suggestions, though: Favorite fiction: Set this house in order (Matt Ruff) Favorite romance: Pride & Predjudice (Jane Austen) Sylvester (Georgette Heyer) Favorite Fantasy: The Mists of Avalon (Marion Zimmer Bradley) Memory, Sorrow & Thorn (Tad Williams) Favorite Children's Book: Anne of Green Gables (Lucy Maud Montgomery) The Neverending Story (Michael Ende) ... and many more
