Wow, this actually hasn't been posted before.

I'm finishing up Stephen King's The Dark Tower series, and I have never enjoyed a book so much.

Where to start?

Harry Potter ones, Atremis Fowl, The Wish List, Supernaturalists, Charlie Bone...

I really like em all. But I absolutely Gobble up Lemony Snickets A Series of Unfortunate Events. I seriously cannot wait for the new book, which is rumored to be called "The Theotrical Truth" whih is supposed to come out Wednesday.

My favorite books are the Gordon Korman series of "Island", "Dive", and "Everest". They are some of the only books that I've loved reading.

Oh yeah. Oh HECK yeah.

Yeah, megadittoes on that one. Best series ever. Most of my personal details (sig, location, "occupation") come from there.

That's my favorite series, but my favorite individual book is probably "Time Enough For Love" by Robert Heinlein. Awesome, awesome book.

Anything by Stephen King is automatically at the top of my list, though. I have to get "The Colorado Kid." I'm so glad he didn't retire after all. :mrgreen:

Yes, yes, I'ma one of them Douglas Adams kiddies - got into the books just after he died. Yeah, great timing. :( My favorite book by him is Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. To this day, whenever a streetlight goes out, I yell, "THOR!" (okay, that's from the second book, but anyways...)

Hitchhiker's Guide is way up there. I also really love the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.

Ahyes, Terry Pratchett. I don't have any of his books, but I check an awful lot of them out from the library... Rincewind's cool, as is Susan... for some reason I know what an anorankh is.

How 'bout, um... Brian Jacques? Louis Sachar (Wayside, j0)? John R. Erickson? ...and, er, various manga.

Oh, I love his books. Loser, Maniac Magee, Space Station Seventh Grade, Jason and Marceline, Crash, Dump Days, Milkweed, The Library Car, Stargirl, those books roxxors my soxxors.

But my favorite book of all-time is The Face On the Milk Carton, by Caroline B. Cooney, and the 3 sequels. It's so intriguing, and well-written, and such. I highly suggest reading it.

Hitchhiker's Guide is really high up on the list, I know that.
Other than that, though, I don't read a whole lot.

Well, I like most books equally, but there are a few that stand out, including Harry Potter, The Giver, Series of unfortuante events, and some more which I can't think of right now.

My favorite book is "The Five People You'll Meet In Heven" I don't think I have ever cried that much over a book.

The TV movie rocked too.

His Dark Materials is my all time favourite and probably always will be. I'm also into anyhting by Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, and Neil Gaiman. Who I got to meet last Saturday! ^___^ He read from Anansi Boys and did a Q&A. Then I got my copy of Sandman: Endless Nights signed.

Hm... Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter, Series of Unfortunate Events, any book by that Pinkwater guy...

There's probably more, but I can't think of any now.

OH EM GEE. I am so in love with Neil Gaiman it's not funny. And I'm so jealous that I want to hop a bus and come steal that from you. I'll be there in about 5 hours. I heard at work that he'd be at an Indigo store. Why doesn't anyone ever come to MY store?!?

Anyhoo, my favourite books are by Terry Pratchett. And hey, all you Discworld fans, check this out:

Yeah. That's my back.

The Pendragon series by D. J. Machale

The fifth one made me cry (but that always happens when someone dies in a book).

Oooh! Oooh! Thrawn yes! good stuff!

I love those books, and I really wouldn't mind seeing them made into another Star Wars trilogy. (never gonna happen). I also like lots of other books by Timothy Zahn, especially Icarus Hunt. Hitchhiker's guide is one of the best; I'll have to find that second Dirk Gently sometime. The first one is very...odd. I've recently discovered that Orson Scott Card is really good. None of the sequals I've read are as good as "Enders Game" though. I like C.S. Lewis and G.k chesterton, too. Especially the father brown stories and "the man who was thursday."

I guess this was about books and not authors wasn't it? I don't like reading lots of different books by the same author too close together; most of the time they get kind of redundant, each author has a particular style and it starts to get annoying.

Whoah...Neil Gaiman. Shiby.

Anyways - the second Dirk Gently one used to be the easy one to find, as the first one was out of print until shortly after the movie came out. :\

This one time, I read in a church program that the organist was going to be performing a song by S. J. Bach. Ooh. He sounds intriguing... :P
What's really bad is, I'd read "The Salmon of Doubt" before the Dirk Gently book, so I knew a little about DNA's taste in music, so I sorta guessed what was up with that whole "moosic-of-teh-ooniverse" thing before the end... ^^;
And what is it with Douglas and chicks what play the cello? I mean, there's Susan and Fenchurch.
And speaking of Fenchurch, I don't care if they stole her personality and gave it to Trillian in the movie. Fenchurch is still uberly awesomer than Trillian, cause she can play the cello, plus that whole thing with her feet. Trillian's still a bad mother, so nyah. XP Also, I happen to be one of those Arthur/Ford shipping weirdoes...but, failing that, Arthur/Fenchurch and Ford/Random (c'mon! they've got so much in common...father from a planet that was destroyed before they were born, etcetuary...)

And Narnia fans: my favorite is Puddleglum. Reepicheep I do not like at all. I'm weird.
