and harry potter is ok

i really don't like reading... so this is a kind of weird reply
thinking in c++

and i'm not kidding

Harry Potter Books
LOTR books
.. i own a lot of anthologies and stuff - mainly composed of British and early American literary pieces. i luv them all..
umm... all kinds of fantasy books
right now i'm really into modern literature (cuz it's so abstract)
so for eg. most stories written by Jorge Luis Borges. especially  "Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius"



i dunno, i read a lot (kinda have to cuz English lit. is/was my major ) which is sort of weird in a way since i'm dyslexic. O_o

Well my fav books yeah i really dont read though are the seris of unfortunate events and fantasictic mr.fox lol yeah bayish but hey i like classics

my fav book would have 2 be the seventh tower seris AND VAL GO ON MSN

Lord of The Flies and the Harry Potter series

Harry Potter
Lord of The rings

And some spanish books

anything by james patterson great homocide books, lol

I love reading so much.

The Chronicles of Narnia is the all time best series. I cant wait for the disney movie to come out.

The Harry Potter series is a nice series. Cant put the book down until you finish it.

Most books by Dan Brown are good, You learn alot of things from them and they have very contrivertial subjects.

A Series of Unfortanant events was alright, but the aurthor shaming his own books constantly is annoying. They were suspensful enough for me to keep reading though.

All the Judy Blume books were alright, read them along time ago though...

The left behind series (children and adults) was interesting though. I kind of lost itnerest in the series farther down, not supsensful enough to keep you reading.

I seriously hate books, accept A Clockwork Orange... the book is about total anarchy.

I don't read...... books and stuff like that.

All books by Terry Pratchett
and also the Harry Potter books , and the Hitchhikers Guide (by Douglas Adams), although i only read that one once..

like a lot of people here, i dont read many books, but before i had a computer i actually read the whole of the lord of the rings trilogy and most of tolkiens other books

i like all the harry potter books and the Hunter of Stars

Harry Potters books
and I dont know if it counts but I realy like Comics like Calvin and Hobbes

Harry Potter books are the only books i try to read, i hate books, i aint a book worm, but when a new Harry Potter book comes out i read like crazy

My favorite of all times for sure: the 6 Dune novels (by the late Frank Herbert)
On second place: the prequels of the Dune books (written by his son Brian Herbert and by Kevin J. Anderson)


Dune is _the_ classic and most praised SF series of all times. Many other books, stories, music*, movies**, games***, etc. are based upon the vast and complex story. It isn't just a SF story, it is thé SF story. Including every possible aspect of life, economics, politics, ecologics, sociology, culture, etc... etc...

If you think LOTR is complex and includes many aspects and Tolkien made something vast, try to read Dune. Tolkien created a vast, complex and detailed world and timescale. Frank Herbert created a whole universe with hundreds of different vast, complex and detailed worlds, all over a timescale from tenthousands of years. I takes years to understand everything within Dune...

* Many bands have used texts and poems from the Dune chronicles. Many bands have named theirselfs after Dune or one of its characters or something. Some of the score of the first Dune movie is used in TV shows, etc...

** Many movies have elements which are based upon Dune. Yes even the all famous Star Wars is known to have incoörperated some elements. In fact the whole big storyline of Star Wars is almost the same as Dune (human create machines, machines take over, human takes over, somebody stands up and becomes the hero/leader/god) George Lucas was also a heavy Dune fan, etc...

*** we all know the C&C series and all the other strategy games that derived from it. Well, C&C would never been made if it wasn't for the first real popular RTS game, Dune2...

**** Everything is too much and too big to explain, the web is full of Dune related stuff, search it

My favourite books are a series called [url=]The Saga of Darren Shan[/url] by Darren Shan! Found them much better than the Harry Potter books.

I read lots, when I can. I resd loads off different books by authors you'll never have heard of so I won't mention them.

My favorites books have to be the Harry Potter's though. I got the 5th one when we were on holiday and read it within a day. No lies, i'm a fast reader.

I never eally liked the plot of the Lord of the Rings, so I never really got to read it.

Oh yea.. I tried to read Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace but didn't get very far.. Its a pretty hard book to read .

the Harry Potter series is awesome.

A lot of people just disregard it and call it a children's book, but it is a very good book, there is a lot of hidden symbolism within it, and the whole series is extremely well planned out. Things that may seem insignificant turn to be major factors in the next book.

May favourite bit of symbolism is the parrallels of voldermort and jesus. I am not saying that Voldermort is Jesus and the HP series is blasphemous, but there are many parrallels. There is whole vodlermort was ressurected from the dead thing, Snape is the Judas of the death eaters - betraying Voldmort, and the fact that at the department of mysteries, 12 death eaters came to Voldermorts aid, reminiscent of Jesus's 12 deciples.

I also like the fact that everything within Harry Potter is believable, i mean, obviously the whole Magic thing isn't, but a world has been created within the book, and everything within the world is believable, like the superiority complex wizards have generated. It really aids you get into the Harry Potter world, and emphasise with the characters.
