Books you have read.

Books are the heart of knowledge. One must understand that they are of value and should not be treated like a game.

So far I've finished one book last year; Claudia, daughter of rome. It lacked intermediate level of vocabulary which does not give experienced and well educated readers a sense of challenge which is to increase the level of understanding. The story is completely first person as if it was Claudia herself thinking. Though, readers who are interested in dwelling into the past would find this book rather enjoying.

Overall, a good book is a book without pictures in them, it gives the reader a sense of imagination which some book really ruins that like annotations (a picture in just about every page).

i liked Lord of the Flies.

currently i'm reading the autobiography of Eric Clapton and the first book of Xanth from Piers Anthony.

ive read countless books, including the Halo books and part of the Dune series. Hasan was also one of my favorite novels.

I keep hearing this lord of the flies, is it really that popular down in America?
As for the topic, I am specifically referring to ... how do I say.. General? Not comic books like - e.g Gears of War. Which is fictional but based on a game, it's just not really giving much knowledge or even relevance to history.

i liked Lord of the Flies.

about a year and a half ago i started reading quite a bit. i read about a book or two a month. horror/ fantasy/ suspense i'm about to read "Angels and Demons" and am currently reading "The Face" by Dean Koontz. My favorite series would have to be the "Left Behind" series. I've read 10 out of 12 books ( i believe there 12 books?) of the Left Behind series. anywho reading is a lot more fun when it's at your own leisure, and it's not mandatory like back in my high school days.

i read about 3 books a month hehe...so way to many

im currently reading

Matter by Iain M. Banks

Not many.

Don Quixote, Sherlock Holmes, some Agatha Christie books, Harry Potter books and some British literature stuff like Hard Times, Animal Farm, Gulliver's Travels and etc.

My favourite is probably The Lord of the Rings. Probably the most well written fiction I've read are Jane austins books though I'm sure the majority of Gamespot users would find them incredibly boring. I really enjoy reading Astronomy, Physics and other types of science books. I have a large collection of them.

I love reading. Old fashioned detective novels are my favourites, like those by Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, John Dickson Carr and Ellery Queen. Of the more modern authors I especially like Stephen King, Michael Connelly and Dan Brown.

At the moment I'm about half way through Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. So far I'm enjoying it very much, more than I thought I would.

I am not a big reader. The only books I have really read were for school. The typical stuff like A Tale of Two Cities, 1984, Alas Babylon, Frankenstein, Huck Fin, To Kill a Mockingbird, etc...

Always liked reading...too many to list but the favorites I can remember from the top of my head are Dragonlance, The Discworld Series, Sherlock Holmes, and The Jeeves series.

currently im reading Civilization & Its Discontents by Sigmund Frued.

last book I read was Crime & Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, excellent book.

I've read so many books I can't remember them all. I've read all of Tom Clancy's books, some Shakespeare, a few books on the military as well as cars, the list goes on and on.

If you enjoy Angels & Demons (and I think you will), then you should absolutely read The Da Vinci Code as well. It's just as suspenseful as A&D. Dan Browns other books are great too.

My favourite is probably The Lord of the Rings. Probably the most well written fiction I've read are Jane austins books though I'm sure the majority of Gamespot users would find them incredibly boring. I really enjoy reading Astronomy, Physics and other types of science books. I have a large collection of them.

I've read tons, but my all time favorite has got to be the complete/uncut version of The Stand by Stephen King. It's a little over indulging, but pretty good.

the last book i had a chance to read for pleasure was amerika by kafka. its an interesting, funny, surreal, and all around wierd book (though not so wierd by kafka's standards, i suppose) on the insanely high expectations immigrants had of america's living standards around the 17th century.

ill have more time to read once the semester ends.

My favorite would be Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keys. That book probably had the biggest emotional impact on me out of any book I've ever read. I was nearly in tears by the end.

Currently I'm reading War of the Rats by David L. Robbins. It's about the battle of Stalingrad from both a German and Russian perspective.

All the Harry Potter books, To Kill A Mockinbird, Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, Othello, King Lear, Oedipus Rex, Death of a Salesman, Green Grass Running Water, Crime and Punishment, Frankenstein, MacBeth, Harlem Duet

Crime and Punishment is fantastic, but not for those with short attention spans

Just finished 1984 and Farenheit 451.

Two excellent books.

I just bought Lord Of The Flies, didn't like the cover art, used it as a table cleaner. ripped a page out everytime I made a spill or made lunch.

Twilight is the best. Period. :|

OIC that's good to know

I'm currently reading Watchmen and it is fantastic.

[QUOTE="thepwninator"]I've read many books in my time (but not many in my time at college-the only books I've read in the past year have been Greek cIassics). My personal favorite, though, has to be Crime and Punishment, beyond all shadow of a doubt.TeymoORly

Oh goodness, all that moral vacillation was kind of exhausting at one point, don't you think? "He crossed the bridge....and then he crossed the bridge....oh, and guess what, he crossed the bridge one more time!!!"

Ive read lots of books. SOme of my favs are The Malazan Book of the Fallen (greates series ever), Enders Game, 1984, Heart of Darkness, The Legend of Huma and At the Mountains of Madness. Lots of other good ones though :Dlobodob

You can't be serious, Heart of Darkness? I could not stand that book. Fog...black...white...rivets...fog...jungle...commentary on European imperialism..."Oh the horror!"...fog...

I used to be a huge book worm in elementary school before I was a gamer. I still read quite a bit though, and am currently reading The Oxford Book of English Ghost Stories.

I've never really got too into the horror genre, so there has been some really great stuff so far in there.
