What is your book series. Mine is Redwall. My next favorite series is The Edge Chronicals. (sp.)
I've heard of Redwall before, but the animal based book series aren't really my favorite type. I like pretty much all manga series I've heard of and the Harry Potter series.
just because they are animal based you won't read them? It is really brilliant, and the different animals really represent different races, like the Hares are Englishmen, the Otters are sailors and such, Mice are....kinda Catholic I guess.
My favorite sieries is probably the Harry Potter books.
Any of you here about The Edge Chronicals. It's a really good series. Ya up until the 4th book. ???
No no, I do read them sometimes, but my interests go to other types of books.
The Georgia Nicholson books! Can't wait for
"Love is a Many Trousered Thing"!
I am trying to read "Heart Of Darkness" but i really can't get into it.
I read anything that interests me.... but my favorites series that I can think of are Harry Potter and Eragon and Vampire Hunter D.
I like Loveless... but real bookwise, I like the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series... I still need to get books 6-7ish and onward.
I've also wanted to read Maus for the longest time, its about the Holocaust, and it's animal based. (Jews are mice, Germans are cats, Americans are dogs, French are Frogs, Canadians are Moose, etc... it seems like a wonderful series.)
Favorite series,
The Inheritance Trilogy, favorite book,
Eldest, book I'm trying to read right now, Animal Farm.
QuoteGuardians of Ga'Hoole series
I suggest it for 3-5th graders. Its great, but it just seems to easy for me now.

Seariosly (sp?) have heard The Edge Chronicals.
I read Stephen King mostly. Books by him I've read so far, in chronological order(of publishing, not reading).
Carrie
The Shining
Salem's Lot
The Stand
Pet Semetary
The Talisman
Eyes of the Dragon
Cell

If you want to talk about horror books go talk to my Grandma. She read cell (isn't it the killer cellphone thingy plot) and said it was the freakiest book she has read.

I like to read Stephen King, too, but... I dunno, I haven't read that many. Our library is very small and dumb. Oh, and I think... Avi wrote books I like, too. I remember a book about an owl and a village of mice, and... yeah. ^w^; I'm forgetful...
And I know the Guardians of Ga'Hoole series is rather... childish at parts, but I just love the series anyways. It's an interesting take on fantasy...
I also read political books. I read(but don't listen to for the most part) Ann Coulter's books. I've read Sean Hannity's books. I've read Bill O' Reilly's books as well.
I don't use to read by my own interest but I read the Davinci Code and it was great.
BOOKS! Ahhh I love to read books. I read everything, from books about Astronomy to Harry Potter.
I dont usually like a specific series; i usually like to read everything, but I'd have to say my favorite seires ever is Harry Potter. It was just astounding. I couldn't put them down!!!
QuoteI read(but don't listen to for the most part) Ann Coulter's books. I've read Sean Hannity's books. I've read Bill O' Reilly's books as well.
Wow! You say political books, don't you mean
incredibly Conservative books!
Why don't you broaden your mind Dick - read Chomsky, or Kerouac (he's not political, but it'll do you good).
What did you just call me? As far as I know (and I'm assuming the worst) you've just insulted me and I'm putting you down for your second warning.
Um, where exactly did he insult you, Gamefreak?
QuoteWow! You say political books, don't you mean incredibly Conservative books!

Your name. It's that little thing above your avatar. It's "Private Dick Simmons."
Someone get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? ;)
Yeah, I don't think that warrants a warning...if he hadn't capitalized it it could have been questionable though.
Dick was just your name man, calm down!
Yes, we clarified that, just let it go now and continue the discussion.
Well I got a warning for calling him by his name! Isn't that a bit unfair?
Well, whether it is explicitly stated or not, looks like the original tic comes from the political point.
PLEASE leave political discussions out of the forums. You may conduct it by PM if you so choose.
Saying that, it seems that the warning arose from a misunderstanding, and now that the man has confessed that he meant no intentional offense...
I'll pull back this warning.
EDIT: My name's Aaron by the way, don't know where you got the idea that it's Dick.
EDIT 2: Darn, I'm out of it today.
Thank you very much Dick!
I believe he doesn't want you to call him by Dick..
>.> Okay then. Anyway. I have even gone as far as to read Chemistry books, like school ones, for fun. Some would say I have a problem. I say: BLASPHEMY.
Redwall (the book, not the series) is a very good book. My favorite character is probably Asmodeus Poisonteeth, an adder. An adder is a species of snakes.
Same here. Have you read Pearls of Lutra yet? It is the best book in the series in my opinion.
I thought it had the best riddles for sure, even I was taxed with my knowledge of the Abbey.
My favorite character is Sabertache the hare, from Outcast of Redwall. He had an awesome mano e mano swordfight with Captain Zigu the ferret. It was so sweet...
Favorite book? Tough one....The Martin books are my favorite, out of those ones Mossflower is probably my favorite.
I like
Jacqueline Wilson Books
Harry Potter Books
Two of a Kind Books
Sleep over club
Darren Shan
the chronicals of narnia
and thats about it .
I've only read begun to read Redwall, and I'm just at the point Matthias finds out Methusula died.
*sighs*
Once again, I am out of place. I gave up on 'young adult' series fiction a long, long time ago. These days, I'm reading stuff that actually has merit and asks questions of the world around us. Stuff like Brave New World, A Clockwork Orange, and The Stand.
Stephen King had the idea that The Stand is... in this analogy...
Middle Earth is to Lord of the Rings as America is to The Stand.
Heh...
Anyone ever heard of... Philip K Dick?
I used to love Redwall books when I was a kid. I actually still get them, because I can't refuse. Brian Jacques, such a cool guy. He was a sailor! And a boxer! You can't get much more awesome than that.
A teacher of mine once recommended a book to me, Ecology of a Cracker Childhood by Janisse Ray, and it's been a favourite of mine ever since.
Otherwise, I like most things by William Gibson and Terry Pratchett. This is the odd thing, though-- I have a huge bookshelf with books piling up to the side of it, yet somehow I can't really name any of my favourites. :o
YAY! Even more pointless authors that I've never (and probably won't have the time) heard of.
Sorry... I'm just not too well with some of these books. They seem to have overall, the same plot and the same situations, so to read the same thing in a hundred different variations gets WAY too tedious for my tastes.
But me... I'm a guy that usually will read something that's at least 20-30 years old. Mainly because so much of the stuff we have here is unoriginal and there are a wealth of classics that have more character and fluidity than the books (or rather, trash) of today.
Dracula? Frankenstein? Lord of the Flies? Carrie?
OOH...
Oscar Wilde's The Importance of being Earnest. Sad that most people are unattentative to it and will ignore it at every oppurtunity. It's really a funny play, lots of action and laughs, evolved from a plot device instrumental in ssome of Shakespeare's comedies: Mistaken Identity.
What about Ernest Hemingway? What? Nada? Bah...
2 summers ago, I was able to read 16 books all on my own accord...
4 by Ernest Hemingway
4 by Nathaniel Hawthorne
2 by Stephen King
4 or 5 by Ray Bradbury
and... George Orwell's 1984.
I'm reading Carrie right now. I'm at the prom night.
You shuld all read tghe worekings of Ray Bradbury. His bookss are simply amazing, and they make a man think...
I suggest The Martian Chronicles and the Illustrated Man. They were astounding works...
Both of those are on my to-do list.

Well, for one, Janisse Ray is a prominent ecological writer, William Gibson is the founder of the cyberpunk genre and original predictor/"inventor" of the internet, and Terry Pratchett is a much-acclaimed comedy writer. They aren't pointless, and they aren't bad or lowly, either.
Don't hide behind the bravado of reading "classics" just because you heard someplace that you're "supposed" to read them. Talk about tedious...and above all, quite dull and characterless. Reading the same old books is just old news to everybody else. You won't learn anything new. And just because your AP teacher or whatever hasn't assigned you a certain novel, and just because everybody on the MLA board hasn't said, "OMG YOU MUST READ THIS" about many newer novels, sure doesn't mean they aren't worth reading.
I read what I wanna read, not what others tell me to read. Not even my AP teacher has reign over the stuff I pick.
DARNIT! >_< I keep forgetting and dissing the founder of Cyberpunk! Humble apologies....
*goes off to find something by William Gibson...*
My main issue is with 'modern' 'popular' contemporary writers like Tom Clancy or Agatha Christie or Nicholas Sparks... bah.
What about Philip K Dick? He wrote some of the most notable works in the cyberpunk genre. Heheh... I love cyberpunk...
QuoteWhat about Philip K Dick?
Watch out man, better not say Dick - someone gets quite upset by it.
QuoteMy main issue is with 'modern' 'popular' contemporary writers like Tom Clancy or Agatha Christie or Nicholas Sparks...
Woah! Tom Clancy and Agatha Christie is a bizaare combination!
Plus she is really modern or contemporary in relation to the 'young adult series' rubbish being praised by many, she was writing primarily in the 40's
I have somehow neglected this thread. ???
I can't really choose a favorite. It's like asking my mom who her favorite child is. But I lean more towards anything that's fantasy, like The Lord of the Rings, Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter, and The Wheel of Time. But I also enjoy reading Michael Crichton. I got his Andromeda Strain for Christmas, as well as the fourth book in The Wheel of Time series, but I've yet to read either. :-*
Hey, JQ, I read books for fun first, and analyzation second if I ever feel like it (which is hardly ever). So I'd appreciate it if you didn't call books like Redwall pointless. As far as I'm concerned, if someone find them entertaining to read, even without putting every little detail under a metaphorical microscope, then it has a point.
Maybe... v_v I just prefer to think rather than simply enjoy... It makes things interesting thinking about why the author dedicated so much time and energy to write a thing.
But I guess I'm more of a serious minded and critical person than a fun-innocent one.

^Good taste.
I also like the Cat in the Hat. It's a very good book for children. (Seriously, I have a copy of it)
Dr. Seuss was a funny man... A lot fo his books contain social commentary disguised as absurdist humor, believe it or not. A lot of them would be fit to be published as Political Cartoons.
Though it takes some understanding of the context and issues to get an idea of what specifically the book is commenting on...
He's very worthy of having a holiday.
Quote from: Rincewind on May 19, 2007, 12:37:50 PM
Watch out man, better not say Dick - someone gets quite upset by it.
People get more upset by comments like this, Rincewind. So I suggest watching it.
Anyway... I have heard that The Time Machine, by H.G. Wells, was a very good novel. Anyone care to comment on it? War of the Worlds was good too....
I tried to read War of the Wars, but for half of the first book I had no idea what was going on. It's a very confusing book. They should re-write it so that all of the British sayings that aren't understood well in America are replaced so we could understand it. By the time I did realize what was happening, I was too deep into it and had to stop reading it.
I was alos FORCED to read the classic Frankenstein, unchanged, by Mary Shelley. It was dreadfully boring, and I really wanted to kill myself when I read it, but it did teach me a lesson: dont mess with God's responsibilities...
This is why they should change books: some of the content is too complicated for alot, sometimes most, people.
Nahh, I mean, I see what you're saying, but if they change the content, then it kinda changes whatr the author wanted to tell us. I think it should be left alone, but translated on the side, like they do for Shakespeare.
Man. You know what sucks?
What sucks? I'd like to know just what you mean.
Some town and cities BAN books.
Bizzare, isn't it. My school banned a book last year and I was one of the leading crusaders to get it back. I"m heavily against censorship.
So did you get the book back?
Why must they BAN Books?
Yeah, we won in the end. I even got to meet the author at an appearance in my city.
Quote from: weetle on May 19, 2007, 04:17:17 PM
Why must they BAN Books?
I think part of the reason is because they just don't like the book and think they can order others not to read it. Although, that may be paranoia on my part.
Frankenstein wasn't all that boring - and if you read the original, first edition, then you read the part about Victor being in love with his... sister... Incest, anyone?
But such books can only truly be appreciated by those who are used to the language and the way the people of other literary movements wrote. It's not all that boring if you at least have a good grasp of how to read and are used to the type of content and diction.
Dr. Suess(which isn't his real name) was a political cartoonist before he wrote books. It was a holiday at my old school.
Say... what book exactly did they TRY to ban?
The Kite Runner.
There doesn't seem to be anything that really merits controversy... unless the people that wanted to ban it are racist and did it solely because it takes place in Afghanistan... Yeah, that was a VERY smart move.
No, it was banned because there were words in it that we, as public high school residents have never heard [/sarcasm]
Try reading Salinger's Catcher in the Rye... There's a whole lot more swearing than any other book of contemporary fiction that I've read.

You can't re-write books, what if someone said they wanted to re-write The Bible, that's a lot harder to understand than many great British classics.
It ruins the author's vision.

Rincewind, you're on thin ice...
Weetle, I think you can give up on the Edge Chronicles thing now, it's apparent nobody has read it and it's just getting annoying.
I remember I was part of this school experiment where we read banned books to try and understand why they were banned. I read 'The Chocolate War', which sounds innocent enough, but then a few pages in it just gets sickeningly gruesome...
Hm... the banned book project thing sounds nice. I want to do that. D:
Gruesomeness doesn't really phase me that much in books, unless it hits a soft spot. Of course, I don't like flat out gore, I like it when there's a plot to the madness...
What was the Chocolate War about, Shika? O:
I couldn't read far enough into it to find out the main plot, it was just too sick...it starts off at a football game or something, this guy catches the ball and is running and then he gets shot, and it goes into excruciating detail of it for a few pages....I couldn't get through it, it was just sick...
Oh, I thought it was sick in another way... XD; -sounds like a pervert- I should read it over the summer, I think. o:
Well it very well may be, I haven't gotten very far in it...
I just finsihed readin Rocket Boys, aka October Sky. A wonderful novel, really. Has anyone else read it?
Yes, I love it so much...Awesome piece of literature. Anybody read Huck Finn/
That wasn't literature, it was an autobiography. That stuff actually happened in that West Virginian Coal mining town.
It's still literature. They could have written the autobiography badly, you know.
I 've always loved:
Harry potter
Inuyasha manga
A series of unfortunate events.
The tommorow city
The outsiders
Those books never get old
Seeing as how they're fairly new, they wouldn't. 8)
Try some classics. Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, some Shakespeare, Dragonriders of Pern....
Except I would much rather watch a Shakespeare play than read it. Or any play, for that matter.
That doesn't change the fact that they are still great reads. I would much rather act it really.
I don't like reading plays when they're in the play style, I always want to have to act it out, but then I'd just look silly.
I never read the book, but I'd like to, it's called "The adventures of Huck Finn" or something like that. The third chapter is called "We Ambuscade the A-Rabs" ...I saw a display of it in school. XD;
Try Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. I'm serious, it's quite fun!

No wait
A Series of Unfortunate Events
The Chronicles of Narnia
Has anyhone here ever read anything by Christopher Pike? He's a wonderful author, and I think his books are worht reading... especially Master of Murder and Bury Me Deep. Good stuff, good stuff.
How about The Fire With In. or Icefire its sequal. I forget the last book. Oh found it's Fire Star. Good series. It's about dragons.
I've read it, very good books.
I read the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy in 6th grade. Probably the hardest time I've had with a book, considering my age.
I tried to read it in fifth, made it through the first. Read the second last year, planning on reading the third soon.
Quote from: weetle on May 21, 2007, 02:01:16 PM

That series drives me nuts. Because you have to keep reading because you think something fun is gonna happen, but all it ends up being about is some dumb squirrels and a whiney little girl.
Yes, it was a little unsatisfying at the end....hopefully the final book will deliver...
Anyone read the Alex Rider series?
Um, no. Sorry. ;)
Anyone read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer? I'm not usually one for vampire romance but..... I REALLY liked it.
Quote from: Bboy on May 22, 2007, 07:27:37 PM

yes, that is a great series, love the cliffhanger at the end of the last book so far, wonder if he'll write another...
What cliffhanger? Have you read Ark Angel? Book six is coming out this November.
....Apparently I missed something....I thought Scorpia was the last one so far.....
No, Ark Angel is out. Its good.
I'll have to read that then...
Try reading Shakesperae... his plays, if you can undersatdn them, are somewhat enteratining and funny (ie, Taming of the Shrew).
I've read two of his works, Taming of the Shrew (it is, as you said, very funny) and Macbeth.
Omg. I just finished Outsiders. I cried. I don't cry much, either. Man what a great book. In my school instead of Greasers vs. Socs, its Bad*donkeys* vs. Preps.
I read Shakespeare, it's amazing how many sexual references you can find if you read between the lines...
Or are just right there in the open. D:
More people should read Redwall. It's very good. Much better than an animal book usually is.
I don't know why, but the Outsiders reminded me of two great books I'm sure some of you have read: The Giver and Number the Stars. The Gver, ouit of these two, is my favorite. Kinda like 1984 or Brave New World.
That doesn't make much sense to me... But The Giver is a great book. But I didn't like Number the Stars. Coincidentaly I was forced to read them both back to back in school.
Has anybody read the DragonLance or Forgotten Realms series?

We read "Much Ado About Nothing" for our English SAT. Our school's english department arranged actors to come in and perform it. I have never seen so many hip thrusts in my life...
No I haven't read either of those books GF.
I am however reading "A Hand Maidens Tale" for English, which is set after a nuclear war. Women are forced to have children to increase the population, it's very graphic. But it's an awesome book I love it.
I just started reading this book called the eye of the world of a series called the Wheel of Time. Anyone heard of it?
I did. I think I already mentioned it above. Good read. Long, but worth it.
Yeah, I'm at Winternight, at the very beggining.
I should start reading the fouth book again. I tried reading it during last semester, but I was never really in the mood to read.
I need to read the Da Vinci Code... yes, incredibly off from what you were discussing, but I felt the need to mention I was going to read it.
Yeah, my favorite series probably is Artemis Fowl. I just like the modern twist on a fairy tale theme.
Those are good books, and as for Nightkey, I refuse to read that book as for its against my religion... Also, I so can't wait for the new Harry potter book to come out, it looks awesome!
Oh the irony of not going for something against one's religion, yet indulging in something sadly 'controversial' to so many conservatives. Bah.
I've ordered a few books over the internet. A compilation of Four novels by Philip K. Dick with "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", and "Ubik". The other book is a psychology one, sadly out of print, so I got it used. Still in relatively respectable condition though, even if the pages are yellowed.
Well, I can't say I've heard of him, but some books I'd like to get would be Eldest, I still haven't gotten to read that yet.
That one was pretty good, you'll enjoy it.

I just bought Witches Abroad and Wyrd Sisters, both by Terry Pratchett. I'm still working on Howard's End (have been devoting next to no time on it) so once that's done with I'll get to those. I'm sore tempted just to skip straight to them! But I'll be a good girl and finish this one first. Siiigh.

Terry Pratchett is a great author.
I loved Witches Abroad.
I actually like most of what Diana Wynn Jones writes. She wrote "Howl's Moving Castle," "The Castle in the Sky," and "Dogstar," which are some of my favourite books. Dogstar was so... awesome.
I have to read Ibn Battuta for Global History. Somebody lie and tell me it's a decent, interesting book. Please. :D
Cool, another Pratchett fan! Well, as it happened I did end up skipping Howard's End and went straight to Wyrd Sisters. It's great, so smooth. Nothing beats the way he can totally bring you out of an elegant scene description with a good laugh you never expected.
I really would like to get my hands on Howl's Moving Castle. Not just the book, but the film as well. So thanks for reminding me, so I can add that to my list of Things I Want.
I don't know if I'd say I like the book or film better; the movie is nothing like the book, but they're both awesome in their own right.
Dogstar was amazing, too. It's just... a celestial being in a dog's body is an amazing twist. I mean, it's not like LOL GOD in a terrier, it's just... unique. -doesn't want to spoil anything-
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams has to be the greatest book/series i have ever read. My only problem with it, is the ending of the series. I can't stand it. Or endings like it. If you wanna know what happens PM me.
Wheel of Time series is awesome if you can read nearly 10,000 pages.
I finished Stephen King's Misery yesterday. I had seen the movie thrice, so I figured I may as well read the book... and my Uncle Larry, who reads SK books and then watches the movies, said he had to put down the book a couple of times while reading it.
It wasn't that bad, really, up until the end. o_o I had to put the book down after ___ happened, then the thumb incident and lawnmower. -shudders- Getting to sleep after reading that was... fun.
I'm going to read Cujo next, I never watched the movie, and it's on the banned books list... so I want to read and then watch the movie.
I just finised a book called Hangman's curse, it is really good, I also finished a book from the series The Five Ancestors by Jeff Stone, the book was called tiger, which is the first in the series, I liked it, so now I am reading the second one which is monkey. its pretty good so far.
Oh, I've read part of that series! I'm not sure which book I left off on, though... I think the third one, Snake.
Yea, Snake is the third one, I haven't gotten to that one yet, you should check out Tiger, it is really good.
...I read Tiger. And Monkey. And Snake. o_o I just need to read Crane and that other one, and if I'm not mistaken, he's coming out with the ones from the other side. I liked Leopard, his style was cool.
yea, I heard about that, not sure when though, but yea anyways, has anyone read Hangman's Curse or nightmare accedemy? both good books. I like that author, I hope he makes a new book soon, those too were really good. :D
I kepp trying to read Conrad's Heart Of Darkness but I can't get into it.
It's been sitting on my bed side table since Christmas..
So instead I'm reading The Truth by Terry Pratchett. The Discworld novels are great, they make me laugh.
Anyone here read eragon? I have, it is really good. different then the movie, alot different actually, lol
Yeah, it was really good. Much better and less cliched than the movie.
After I'm done reading this series of Richard Nixon biographies(don't ask), I might read the Bourne Identity series.
I want to see the last movies, but yea, the movies were good, so the books of that series are probably good too, I am almost finished with the book monkey, lol, only like 30 or 40 so more pages to go. :D
