Well, since we now have a Music thread, I thought that I'd start one for books! Yay!! I love to read, it's a fact. If I'm not writing, playing the sims, or doing schoolwork, I'll be stuck with my nose in a book! I thought it would be good to start a thread where we can share what our favourite books/ series of books were, and well I don't know... Talk about them?! That's just me anyway, I really have no idea what I'm talking about most of the time! ;D lol Anyway... My favourite series of books would have to be The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver or the Young Bond series by Charlie Higson. I also love... - The Enemy ~ Charlie Higson (ZOMBIES  ) - Misery ~ Stephen King - 'Salems Lot ~ Stephen King (Scary stuffz) - Reckless ~ Cornelia Funke - The Lord Of The Rings trilogy ~ J.R.R. Tolkien - The Book Thief ~ Markus Zusak There are a lot more, but I'm not going to list my entire bookcase! So.... What about you guys? What sort of books float your boat?  |

The Dead and The Gone by Susan Beth Pfeffer - Book gives me chills omg but its so good
- Don't read if it if you're a softie. Srsly I don't usally get teary for books, but there was just some times where I came close to crying
- There's parts that are really chilling. Like they go raid dead bodies and stuff.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusack - Best book ever. Srsly.
- Its WWII time though, so if you hate hitler, you're really gunna hate him here.
I read way to much. I read about three books a week. I'm always re-reading books. |

Oh, books books books! I love reading, but I'm more into YA books. My favourites are: ` The Hunger Games ` HARRY POTTER! ` Tallow/The Curse of the Bond Riders ` The Devouring ` Vampire Academy ` Interview with the Vampire And, I think that's all, haha! I'm always re-reading too. A couple of weeks ago I re-read the 'Vampire Academy' series. 6 books, all about 400 to 500 pages. I re-read it in one weekend. Power reading makes me feel very disorientated and strange. After I finished reading the last book, it felt weird not being in the characters head. The book felt realer then reality! |

Books I'm into: ~ All-American Girl by Meg Cabot (really strange/funny/romance book for teen girls) ~ Harry Potter Series (I'm only on book 5  ) by J. K. Rowling ~ The Hunger Games (just started to read this) by Suzanne Collins ~ The Doll People (an amazing book that's a bit like toy story with lots of "action/adventure" and 2 others to the series which I've read) by Ann Martin |

Oh! I forgot Stolen!! I <3 that book too! I actually have far too many favourites to list them all :L Although, I've never actually made it all the way through Harry Potter  I know it's actually a crime against humanity, and I will eventually steal it from my brother and finish it |

I only read it last year (Harry Potter) and I've always loved reading. You have to finish it - it's amazing. I'm so happy no one here said their favourite book is 'Twilight'... |

My absolute favorite book is A Separate Peace by John Knowles. I also really like The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.
I've also read a lot of Jodi Picoult, though with her, I find that I love some of her books and dislike others. My favorites are probably Vanishing Acts, Nineteen Minutes, and Salem Falls.
And I also like James Patterson, and I'm working my way through the Alex Cross series. But I've also read countless others, including Beach Road, which I was in love with a couple of years ago.

My favourite series of books would have to be The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver or the Young Bond series by Charlie Higson. OMG I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER CoAD FAN!!!!!! I read Wolf Brother in seventh grade and no one saw why I liked it so much! But I'm ashamed to say I never read the whole series. Those books are just so hard to find. Anyway, some of my favorites: - A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray -- My absolute favorite series. I just love it so much I can't even describe it. 3> - Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins -- Started reading this last year and I totally freaked when I saw the school library had the second and third one. - The Darkest Powers Trilogy by Kelley Armstrong -- Actually got my cousin hooked on these. Simon always made me smile... - Alex Rider Series by Anthony Horowitz -- I was absolutely IN LOVE with these books in sixth grade. And then when the movie sucked I died a little inside. - This Lullaby, The Truth About Forever, and Along For the Ride by Sarah Dessen -- Sarah Dessen is like my guilty pleasure. I feel like I shouldn't like sappy young adult romance books as much as I do, but oh my god I just love them. Along For the Ride actually influenced one of my sim neighborhoods. - Harry Potter -- 'nuff said. There's not a time in my life that I remember when Harry Potter wasn't in it. It's going to be so sad when the last movie comes out...  |

Legrandevampire; I like LOTR as well ! I'm always reading it and don't get tired of it at all...even though I can never sit down and read even a fourth of it at once. I also have the extended DVD movie version---the extended version is great if you like LOTR---can't wait for the Hobbit movie !
Also in the list are the Dune novels by Frank Herbert and the prequels by his son, Brian (?).
Some of C.S. Lewis and Richard Adams.
There's more but I have to go do chores and housework.......

I read Wolf Brother in seventh grade and no one saw why I liked it so much. OMG ME NEITHER! *virtual high five* I love them! I think the only other person I've met who's even heard of them is my English teacher (and spoilt it for him by writing a book report on the last one before he read it) They're so good! I have them all. Sorry guys, I just realised that I seem to be spamming this thread a little... |
