BoltBait Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 The best book by far is: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand I suggest you all read it. Don't be afraid by the fact that it is over 1,000 pages. It goes quickly. Quote Click to play: Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and how about a Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobofthedead Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'll have to have a look at that one. It sounds interesting, but tricky to carry around. What about Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo. That is such a moving book, and it covers such a range of subjects. It's beautiful! Quote "I am the anarchist, I am the antichrist, I am the walrus, G'JOO G'GOO G'JOOB!" I dig a pygmy, by Charles Hawtree and the Deaf Aids. Phase One, in which Doris gets her oats. ~John Lennon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.atwell Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 The Mahabharata. Around the World in Twenty Days by Jules Verne is good too. Wasn't that EIGHTY days? The abridged version. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kreeos Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wow. That's a tough question. I've read so many good books... There's so many Star Wars books I could list, lol. I'd have to say though that the more memorable favourite books I've read are Moby Dick and Men Against the Sea (Book 2 in the Mutiny on the Bounty Trilogy). With Men Against the Sea I just could not put that book down. I got it read in like three days despite having to work, lol.

It was fantastic. I'm going to order in that one Bolt Bait mentioned thru interlibrary loan and perhaps a few others mentioned. ciao Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozo Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Moby Dick is just... bleeeggggghhh. It went on and on and on... But don't get me wrong, I love reading. Ender's Game was good. Any book by Timothy Zahn is automatically awesome. Keving J. Anderson is also an excellent author. Let's not forget greats like Tolkein and Assimov either. But I believe the best book I have read up to this point is Manta's Gift, by Timothy Zahn. Man, it was compelling, moving, and a great sci-fi story to boot!

pyrochild Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Moby Dick is just... bleeeggggghhh. It went on and on and on... It's an aquired taste, lol. Never read it, never will. Sounds completely uninteresting to me. I'm not saying it's bad, just saying that it's not something I'm interested in.

Myrddin Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Bambi by Felix Salten. I am joshing you. In all seriousness, anything by Asimov or Dickens. Well, almost anything by Dickens. The language he employs is quite unique and, at times, an acquired taste should be developed. Also Bill Bryson is an hilarious author, and does particularly well with his English language studies, such as Mother Tongue, and his travel articles.

k.digennaro Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I have a phobia of really thick books , but any way my favorite book is a book about a man who fought in Vietnam, when he came back he had many problems, his solution was to convert to Buddhism and become a monk. The book went into buddhism a lot more than i expected but i really enjoyed this book. http://www.amazon.com/At-Hells-Gate-Soldiers-Journey/dp/1590302710/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1204678220&sr=1-4 At Hell's Gate By: Claude Anshin Thomas.

The_Lionhearted Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I don't claim to be extra-ordinarily well-read, but my favorites are: Ender's Game The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Anything by Edgar Allen Poe Anything by C.S. Lewis Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card) is an excellent book! So is The Phantom Tollbooth (Norton Juster). Other books I like: Dangerous Wonder (Mike Yaconelli) The Circle Trilogy (Ted Dekker) Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling) (I know, I know. But I also love...) Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien) Chronicles of Narnia (C.S. Lewis) The Holy Bible Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ (John Piper) Calvin and Hobbes (Bill Watterson) (I've always thought of him as an author as much as an artist) Desiring God (John Piper) Don't Waste Your Life (John Piper) (He's had a lot of influence on my life...) Stardust (Neil Gaiman) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

david.atwell Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 The Holy Bible How can you say that? I've read it and it is one of the most boring things ever. I've read it. And it's the most epic story I've ever seen - battles, adventures, humor, kings anointed and dethroned, a people selected, a people rejected, a final Hero, and romance beyond anything man can understand. But most of all, it's the story of MY life - a life that's changed, forever, because of the words God wrote down in it. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...
