I am surprised, with all you fantasy lovers, none hof you have read the Ender Series by Orson Scott Card. Definetly the best series of books I have ever read!
Read Ender\'s Game if you haven\'t yet, and you will love it!!

My favs:

White Indian Boy
Ender\'s Game
Xenocide
Speaker for the Dead
Lord of the Flies
Ender\'s Shadow
The Stand
Where the Wild Things Are (hehehe, childhood fav.)
Vertical Run
It
The Work and the Glory (8 volume set of about 800 pages each :))


and



Lord of the Rings (of course :))

aaahhh literature... I do love this

To those that have read Ender\'s Game:
read again
who have not:
Read it

Also try Ursula K. Leguin and Larry Niven for excellent authors.

Older books: Definantly the Dune series
Personal favorite: Heinlen for some great SF moral questions

Fantasy:
Harry Potter books are excellent reads
Terry Brooks has some original books if you go away from Sword of Shannara which was a copy of LOTR

Finally...

If there is any books that I can recommend more than any other:

Anything written by Margaret Weis
Her and Tracy Hickman started the Dragonlance novels
note: only read those done by them

And finally the best series of books I have ever read
by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

The Death Gate novels
First one being Dragons Flight(I think)

I recommend these books more than anything

Some of the most original writtings that I have ever read.





sidenote... I didn\'t like the Hobbit or LOTR
I will definantly get some letters for this but
I thought they were subpar books in comparison to what we have now. I admit they started the trend, but it got better in my mind\'s eye.

The Andromeda Strain - Michael Crichton
Jurrasic Park - Michael Crichton
Rising Sun - Michael Crichton
Transformation - Whitley Streiber
The Wolfen - Whitley Streiber
The Lord of the Flies - ?? (Oh my god.. they\'ve killed piggy!)
One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest - Ken Kesey
Fear & Loathing in Los Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson
The Time Machine - H.G. Wells
The War of the Worlds - H.G. Wells
Under the Knife - H.G. Wells
Elminster: The making of a Mage - Doug Greenwood
I, Strahd - P.N. Elwood
The Oddessy - Homer
Civil Disobediance - Henry David Thoreau
A Tale of Two Cities - Charels ****ens

That\'s all I can think of right now. I\'ve got the unabridged version of War & Peace that I\'ve been meaning to get around to reading because I hear it\'s a good story, but damn that book is long. I\'ve also got an extensive collection of Xmen comics and books from when I was younger that I still flip through occassionally. The Sabertooth & Gambit mini-series being two of my favorites.

Ok, I\'ll go to library today and look for Orson Scott Card.

I\'ll post my opinions here.

Hey, of course no-one is flamed of his/hers book-taste. If someone says LotR wasn\'t to his/hers liking, it\'s his/hers opinion :D

I\'m reading now Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card.. the Ender\'s Game wasn\'t in the library but I thought I\'d read this first.

And let me add this to my fav. books list!

THIS IS GREAT...

Also Philip K. D-ick\'s Time out of Joint is really good!

Do you know what it reminds me of?

The Truman Show ( movie starring Jim Carrey.. great one ;) )

I agree with Kirath, 1984 is an awesome book as well. It contains some quite scary thoughts... A society ruled by Big Brother™.

Go read it, if you haven\'t already. What are you waiting for? GO! :)
