What's Your Favourite Book? Why? - A small investigation about most popular books

QUOTE(sonyguy @ May 3 2005, 03:04 AM)
As I can't decide, I have two favourite books.
* The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time by Mark Haddon
* The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams
*



Ah... couldn't agree more. Both the books are absolutely wonderful, my favorites too.

QUOTE(adriantc @ May 4 2005, 01:06 PM)
My favourite books are "The Fundation" by Isaac Asimov and "1984" by George Orwell. Why? I just like SF a lot...I like everything that is releated to SF.  Some could say 1984 is not SF. Well they might be true but I also find that book interesting because like Jules  Verne it anticipated some things... Everyone that saw Fahrenheit 911 knows what I'm talking about  wink.gif
*



I liked 84 too, I thought it was a powerful satire more than a hard core SF book. It had elements of SF, obviously, and considering 1984 was written in 1948, it makes you get the creepy feeling Orwell could 'see' far ahead of his time wink.gif I just finished reading Animal Farm, it's more F [fantasy], and hardly SF - but if you like Orwell, I think it's a very good read. Especially if you like political satires.

I don't have 'a' favorite book, there are a lot of books I have liked very much, and I owe them all a lot - they've grown on me, become - in some cases - a part of who I am (which is not much yet, but never mind that, lol). Most memorable would probably be Kafka's Metamorphosis and Sartre's No Exit. (I even managed to write columns on these books, and they're published online. Not sure if including a link would be ok or not, so I'll just skip it for the moment.)

Cheers!

My favorite book is defenitly Old Man and Sea by Ernest Hemingway. Why I liked this book? Cause it putted me in my fantasy world and I read it in a moment, thats how good it was. Cause I liked how Hemingway presented the power of nature over the man, how small we are and insignifigant to the planet Earth. But if I look at situation today in the world where mankind thinks that rules this planet, but actually we/they are wrong and will end up like dinousaurs millions years ago.

My favorite books are the Icewind Dale Trilogy that was written by R.A. Salvatore. This book is a great fantasy book. I got really involved in the story and I would read this book for hours a day, which I wouldn't normally do. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy books.

I like to read books..when I read a book,I can see the pictures it is some kind of movie for me.

I like to read everything about the theme of anthologie.One of the best book I read is:

The Mammoth Book of Egyptian Whodunnits,by Mike Ashley.

It is a very interesting book,with dozen stories,like Cleopatra and Herodotus,Howard Carter and the Curse of the Pharaohs,the investigators in The Mammoth Book of Egyptian Whodunnits uncover the murder mysteries of Ancient Egypt,etc.

It's very interesting and colorfull,I recommend it! wink.gif

I liked the whole bunch of Harry Potter books.
I liked chamber of secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of fire the fifth part is relly boaring with NO QUIDITCH!!
I also like Hard boys, written by Franklin W Dixon. I have read 23 Hardy Boys Books.
And then I read some comics and other stupid books.

    the most effed up book I have ever read. I was reading during "DEAR" at my school today ("Drop
    everything and read".... hella retarded name) and my mouth gaped open in awe at what I was reading.
    I was like oh em gee, dudes!! This stuff is messed up. This guy, the "protagonist" (Though
    the reader kind of hates him too), is a psychotic. He is very homophobic and hateful towards almost

  16. Books Converted Into Movies Or Movies Into Books.

    Hello! I hated Harry Potter. It was good at the first few movies, but it just got worse. I have
    lost interest. Unforunate Events was good, I liked it. It was funny, but in the movie the wedding
    play was supposed to be before they moved into Monty's house. Otherwise, it would have been
    better. If you would like to say which book should be a movie, say it here or share your comments of
    the movies that are already out. I like books converted into movies, but the novels thay come out
    with for the movies are weird. Most have 8 SCREENSHOTS FROM THE MOTION PICTURE! ....
  17. Bret Easton Ellis
    His Books.. (1)
    I don't know if many people read his books, maybe some have read American Psycho but aren't
    really into the author. I happen to be a very big fan of him, it all started when i read The Rules
    of attraction. Its about 3 people (Sean, Lauren, and Paul) Sean happens to really like Lauren, and
    Lauren kind of likes Sean, but at the same time Lauren is still in love with victor. Meanwhile, Paul
    (lauren's ex) has a crush on Sean. Another character happens to have a crush on sean...but its
    not so promising, and she is probably my favorite character in the whole book....

    or not, I would suggest reading them! They are great. Now my truly favorite trilogy... or at
