Re: Favorite Book?

Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, best read ever, 12 books! I also like the Abhorsen series by Garth Nix,'twas a little bit easy, but good none the less, and last but not least, His Dark Materials Series By Philip Pullman.

Re: Favorite Book?

Hawthorn produces many thick but good reads. Personal favorite at the moment would have to be "of Mice and Men" and "a Farewell to Arms" Two simple yet thought invoking books.

Re: Favorite Book?

Umm, I don't really have a favorite, but;
On The Beach, The Art of Deception, and...The Langoliers are all books that I have enjoyed.

Re: Favorite Book?

Take 3 cups of everything Cody C said, mix with 4 1/2 cups Lord Of the Rings, 2 cups Silmarillion, bake for 30 minutes with oven on Eragon, by Christipher Paolini, and sprinkle with a dash of A Wrinkle in Time. Let stand for 2 minutes, and your list of awesome books is ready to serve.

Re: Favorite Book?

Right now I can't put down Code Name Ginger by Steve Kemper. It is a book on how the Segway came to be. It is interesting so far, and it really gives some insights into Dean's personality. I recommend it.

Another book I enjoyed was Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman by Richard P. Feynman. This autobiography is about an inspiring physicist that that taught at Cal Tech.

Strangely, I don't really like biographies, but when it's about someone inspirational, I can't put it down.

Re: Favorite Book?

Favorite books, well, this thread does seem to be quite my cup of tea.

Non-fiction:
Give me a break, written by John Stossel. It gives an interesting and very much contrasting view on the modern media and it's reporting.

Fiction:
The Winter King, written by Brenard Cornwell. This book revisits King Aurthur and his men in a more interesting manner. I read the book in 8th grade, but this is one that you probably don't want any young children reading.

And because I wouldn't be able to sleep at night without the ultimate nerd book on my desk, I have to mention the best-est book ever. The Hitchhikers Trilogy.

I guess we might as well continue this thread seeing as how it's grown, but there is another, much older, thread that covers this topic,found here.

Re: Favorite Book?

(bringing up an semi-old thread)

Summer is for hunkering down with a good book. My brother, who has a phd in literature and composition, gives me great books to read. Krakatoa was suprisingly good. If you like history, geology, biology, culture development, and the emergence of modern communication, you will like this book.

Also, my family is reading the 6th Harry Potter book, and we are enjoying it. Our copy currently has 3 bookmarks in it, since three of us are all at different points of the story.

Re: Favorite Book?

Books? Did someone say books? Those beautiful bound scaps of paper? The most recent books I've read are Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, by Dai Sijie, A Girl Becomes a Comma Like That, by Lisa Glatt, Flying in Place, by Susan Palwick, and I'm half-way through with the latest Harry Potter book, I expect I'll finish it tonight. The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini will be going to IRI with me.

Re: Favorite Book?

The Latest Book I read is: Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. Definetly he is my favorite author, though DaVinci Code, Angels and Deamons, and Digital Fortress are similar, the thriller aspect to it really keeps one intrested constantly. But I also really liked Deception Point, which was unlike any of the others. Well anyway I like NonFiction as the list below me describes....

Some of the Other Books I've read recently:
-America the Book: A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction By Jon Stewart and the Daily Show Team
-John Adams by David McCullough
-Electronic Gadgets for the Evil Genius by Bob Iannini
-Nothing's Sacred by Lewis Black
-Its Not About the Bike, Its My Journey Back to Life by Lance Armstrong
-100 People Who Are Screwing Up America (and Al Franken is #37) by Bernard Goldberg

And the next book I'll read:
The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century by Thomas L. Friedman
