I can also recommend Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, which is slow to start with but, like a good British comedy, brings it all together at the end. As countless people have mentioned, the Harry Potter books are great. I just re-read them and stayed up till 5am one night just to finish the last book because I couldn't put it down.

The only book there that I ahve tried reading is the Hobbit. After 50 pages though I just got bored and stopped reading. The only books that I have properly read are all the Harry Potter books.
Oh, yes the Harry Potter series I have not read any of those books but my brother and sister have. They seem to enjoy them I have seen all the movies they are ok.
I don't know what I think of the books that you own because I find reading boring and a waste of time. Making graphics or riding a bike are much, much, much better than reading. Atleast they don't waste time
You have some good books there, the lotr sage and the hitchikers to the galaxy is realy fun to...
Hope you enjoy them as much as i did. QUOTE(yoofus @ Mar 26 2005, 01:03 PM) I don't know what I think of the books that you own because I find reading boring and a waste of time.

Atleast they don't waste time  yeah, um, that doesn't really make any sense. how are making graphics not a waste of time and reading is? Reading is part of life and teaches you things, just like anything else. 
To me, I would say you have a good choice of books there. I really liked the hobbit and the lord of the rings trilogy was just awesome(as well as the movie) and the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and all the books after it are just great. I kimda got a huge "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Omnibus" which contains all the five books and that bonus story "Young Zaphod plays it safe".
Yes yes, the HArry Potter books.
Couldn't stop once I started. They were all very good. Sooo into it. I had fantasy dreams a few nights after reading them. haha...They are so cool! Next one is coming out soon too.
i say you got a good collection going and no reading is not a waste of time. what would you do if somehome a nice electric surge just blew out the world power you have nothing to except read and eat
also the reason most people find books boring is that they do not understnad what they are reading or have no imagination to get into the book.

Yeah I agree with you Saint_Michael... we can't live without books, they rock! All of the best ideas are from books, most movies and tv shows are from stories someone has written... when we study in schools and universities, we're essentially studying from books someone has written, noting down disciplines tried and tested through the ages... so how can one not think reading is worth while? quiksilver - I think u have a good selection of books there, esp. the LOTR series, but the others are right, you gotta get into HP! yoofus - I think ur signature is very offensive, especially in light of the recent London Bombings.

If you enjoy fantasy, take a look at the following series: Earthsea trilogy by Ursula K. Le Guin Memory, Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin <-- One of the best series I have ever read, from any genre Regards, z.
I've never read Fight Club, but I have read the book Lullaby by the same author ( Chuck Palahniuk ) and i thought it was pretty engaging, probably not as appealing as fight club but pretty good nonetheless. He has a really unique style of writing, probably accounts for the success of Fight Club.. a kind of preoccupation with the odd, the zany. Fight club was after all, surreal in a way.
The Hobbit is a good pick  In fact, i think the hobbit is the only book in the Lord of the rings series that i've finished reading. *blushes* i did mean to finish the series.. and someday i will. I actually heard that they are making a movie adaptation of just The Hobbit. As you probably know, the LOTR trilogy has already been made into films, but the story elements from the hobbit were summarized or not delved into with much detail, so that's something to look forward to.
The Harry Potter series was awesome I have read every single book. However, my favorite author is Anthony Horowitz. The Alex Rider series is the best, I still haven't read the last book yet though but you should check it out. The first one of the series is Point Blank I think.
I've read the 'Lord iof the rings' trilogy which is obviously a great book
series.The way I see it,one can see the movie but it's nothing until you've read it. 'Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy' is also a great read. I've read some Tom Clancy.He gets very technical. That's fine if you're into that.Obviously the army likes him as they apparantly hired him. I'd say you're choice of reading is pretty good.
All books by Douglas Adams are good books. I recommend also Dirk Gentlys Holistic Detective Agency and The long dark tea time of the soul. The protagonist in both those books are Dirk Gently. He is up to many things.
