Favorite Book?

[Modeish]

Call me a geek if you want but my favorite are the Harry Potter books. I think 3rds the best.

My favorite book so far is Isaac Asimov's "I, Robot".

I read a lot, so here are several: The Untold Story of the Third World War (pretty thick, but still good), Hannibal, The Star Wars books by Timothy Zahn, the Bathroom Readers...I'll try to think of more.

The best book I've read recently is STIFF: The Curious Lives of Human Cadevers by Mary Roach. It was a very interesting book on what has happened to cadavers in the far past with some of the social implications for what they did and why, along with lots of diffrent things they use them to test for now, and some things they don't.

I've been reading [u]Brave New World[/i] by Aldous Huxley. It's an excellent book. It's quite deep. It was recommended to me by my favorite English major

I read that sophomore year. Good book.

I've read a lot of good books. I think the one that sticks with me most, though, is Lance Armstrong's "It's Not About The Bike". Without a doubt the most inspirational book I have ever read.

No one mentioned Neal Stephenson yet? I'm surprised.

My favorite book is Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. It's dense at some parts, but overall extremely enjoyable and very well written.
Snow Crash, by the same author, is quite good as well.

I'd probably have to say The Griffin and Sabine trilogy (well, now it's two sets of trilogies) by Nick Bantock. It's easy reading, but very deep. Not to mention the amazing art (also provided by Bantock)

Chicken Soup and The Other Side Of Darkness.

The best book I've read lately is The City of Truth by James Morrow. It takes place in a city where people have been brutally conditioned to always tell the truth, no matter what. It's about a man whose son gets bitten by a rabbit while at Camp Ditch the Kids, and contracts a fatal disease from the bite. The main character decides he must how learn to lie if, as he believes, only falsehoods can give his son enough hope to effect a cure.

It's a very well written book, with lots of humor (such as a signs in elevators that read: THIS ELEVATOR MAINTAINED BY PEOPLE WHO HATE THEIR JOBS. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK., and a car called Ford Sufficient) but it also has a lot of sadness too. One thing it really made me think about is that as much as I love honesty, I wouldn't want to live in a world with no choice.

Well i would be lax if i didnt give The Hitchhikers Guide a mention. But it is extremely hard to pick a hands down favorite. I deeply enjoyed Your Brain Is God By Timothy leary. Nothing In This Book Is True, But It's Exactly How things Are By Bob Frissel was also a good read. In a more Fantasy oriented view, I enjoy almost anything written by R.A. Salvatore.

My favorite book is Who Moved My Cheese?. It is a good book about change.

[looneylin]

It'd probably have to be Harry Potter and GoF. i <3 Magic!!!!
\m/ ROCK ON!!!! \m/ lol

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.

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.
