My three favorite books are:
Fallen Angels By Walter Dean Meyers
Death Be Not Proud By John Gunther
The Lost World By Micheal Crichton

They are in no particular order. If there was a winner, I\'d say it would be Lost World.

Fallen Angels, huh? I just got done reading that book in English, and that is a pretty damn good book...but Peewee pisses me off :)

Books...Slam by Walter Dean Meyers, Fallen Angels (same author).

Any book by Gary Paulsen is usually good, too.

Peewee is the coolest character. The book would suck without him. I gotta read that book again.

One flew over the Cuckoo\'s Nest is great. Gotta love the mental insights of an author who wrote half his greatest works while stung out on LSD. Speaking of which.. Hunter Thompson is great too. It\'s amazing just how many drugs that man can injest while still retaining enough memory of the trip to write a novel about it.

Favorite books are either:

H.G.Well\'s The Time Machine (the new movie looks sweet!)
H.G.Well\'s The War of the Worlds
Michael Crichton\'s The Andromeda Strain
William Golding\'s The Lord of the Flies

My favorite book: The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. Closely followed by Neuromancer by William Gibson.

Other good books include:

Weaveworld, Clive Barker
The Shining, Stephen King
The Andromeda Strain, Michael Crichton
Foundation, Isaac Asimov
1984, George Orwell
Anything by William Gibson
Ender\'s Game, (forgot)

Other interesting works:

In War and Peace, Lev Tolstoj
The Necronomicon (just kidding, it\'s not that interesting :))


BTW, I want to read some classics. Could someone be so kind as to make a list of \'must-reads\'?

Does Ender\'s Game ring a bell or Ender\'s Shadow?
Both terrific books.

The Prydain Chronicles, by Lloyd Alexander.

The Prince, by Machiavelli.
Calvin and Hobbes, any book, by Watterson. :D
