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

That is how i started out. I read like 200 pages in 1 day. I read the bok at least 3 hours in a day. I suggest you get the book The Theif Lord. Its really good . Also if you like  harry potter. Try the book Faerie Wars

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.
