The Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
Because its a compilation of all of my favorite books of all time.

It's kind of a funny story.
Relates to my life completely. I plan on writing a story similar to it.

Honestly, I'm not sure.
One series that's up near the top of the list is the Sword of Truth series. It has pretty deep meaning as it explores real life effects of idealistic types of government in addition to telling a story. Then everything from the other books of the series comes together in the final book xD I did not like part of the resolution at the end though, it was pretty cheesy. LF> Rain's favorite book. No cheating!

Looking For Alaska by John Green. It's just insanely awesome. I suggest EVERYONE read it. That and Paper Towns too.

i know i already said a favourite, but Watership Down, Richard Adams. who knew rabbits could be so complex, compassionate and/or cruel.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Night by Elie Wiesel, or Animal Farm by George Orwell.

Harry Potter translated into Dutch. The Dutch translations are actually better then the English originals.
![]() And offcourse Watership Down, there is no story that can compare to this one. Excellent storytelling. Also the cartoon movie of it was excellent!

Dyxanije Wrote:The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger.I wasn't aware that that book was written to be enjoyed. I thought its sole purpose of existence was to give English teachers examples of symbolism and theme crap to feed to their students... ![]() Eh, I kid. But that was more or less my impression after reading it in sophomore English.

Well I don't read many books to begin with (I don't think manga is appropriate for this thread ), and I enjoyed reading The Catcher in the Rye because I would discuss it with my awesome English 2 teach.

I didn't really like The Catcher in the Rye. It's just about a cynical kid that wanders around Manhattan for a few days.
My favorite books are probably Requiem for a Dream by Hubert Selby Jr. or The Duplicate by William Sleator.

Probably a cliched response like Ulysses or The Sound and the Fury. I like books that require more than a surface reading.
Par example, I had to read the Quentin section of TS&F repeatedly before I could even begin to understand it. I still don't fully understand it. Benjy is easier, but there's still layers and layers there. It's like a delicious cake that is infinitely large.

The Schiff Wrote:To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Night by Elie Wiesel, or Animal Farm by George Orwell. I had the pleasure of seeing Elie Wiesel speak at virginia tech a few years back.. he's amazing, and his book is wonderful too. my favorite book would have to be life of pi by yann martel. |
