What do you guys think is the best book/book series?

My favorite series' are: Lord of the Rings-J.R.R. Tolkein and A Song of Ice and Fire-George R.R. Martin (I like all the R's).

My favorite books are: The Scarlatti Inheritance, The Matarese Circle, The Chancellor Manuscript, The Rhinemann Exchange, and The Prometheus Deception-REobert Ludlum (my favorite author. Band of Brothers-Steaphen Ambrose, and The Three Musketeers-Alexander Dumas.

I have been looking into Tom Clancey books latly, but no library in my are has the original Splinter Cell:(

What do you guys think?

I've been getting into the Dark Tower series so I'll say that. I'm a very selectively permeable reader, so I need a lot of convincing if its worth it to start reading a certain book.

Probably either the 'Enders' series or 'Memory, Sorrow and Thorn' by Tad Williams. Any fan of fantasy would love that series.

I have to be generic with my favorite book series... it's Harry Potter. I'm a huge fan. I've been reading for ten years.

As for my favorite book...well, I have many. I really love It by Stephen King, Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, Rosemary's Baby by Ira Levin, A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, etc.

Well the Harry Potter series are my favorite books... I just never really enjoyed a book as much as one of those (well except for Eragon + Eldest, those were great too).

Well I'm a stephen King guy, so IT, Shining, Dreamcatcher (Just finished yesterday), Pet Semetary, Green Mile and Carrie are all great.

My favorite series is the Pendragon series. Love the writing style, mimicks mine almost exactly.

I really couldn't say. Authors though, I can do. O.R Melling, J.K Rowling, P.B Kerr, D.J MacHale, Chris Paolini, Stephenie Meyer, Stuart Hill...and that's not even close to half haha.
I also love Bill Watterson, who does Calvin and Hobbes. I consider them books anyways.

My kind of book would be a fantasy-ish one, but normal people can be interesting too ;P

Funny thing is, I can remember reading clockwork orange in grade five. I just can't remember the story at all -.-
Guess I'll have to read it again (:

Yea, I love A Song of Ice and Fire. I can't wait until A Dance with Dragons, even though it probably won't be very epic like I originally though while I was reading A Feast for Crows, seeing as how it has the same time line as AFfC. Anyway, what was your favorite book in the series? I though A Storm of Swords was the best. Even though it wasn't great for the first half of the book, the second was great and the ending incredible.

Years ago it use to be Mack Bolan aka The Executioner. This is a pretty awesome series about a guy that works for the CIA and goes around taking out drug lords, etc.

Mhm, me too. :)

As for my favorite books, I really love The Martian Chronicles and Farenheit 451 both by Ray Bradbury.

I really love "Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allen Poe, as well.

The Bridge Trilogy by William Gibson which include the books: Virtual Light, Idoru and All Tomorrow's Parties is one of my favorite series. Virtual Light my fav of the three books. Closely followed by the Sprawl Trilogy - William Gibson, which includes the books Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive.

I consider Neuromancer to be a must read out of all 6 of those books I've mentioned though. Just an astounding work of cyberpunk fiction (started it all, more or less).
