Martyr - I've been wanting to read Alice, glad you mentioned it. Disney has made some great books into movies (dumbed down kids films, but I like the movies usually), I've been wanting to read Peter Pan as well.
FoA/SEXY - I havent gotten to those yet, though I got all of Chuck's fiction series from my roomate for Christmas. And Catch 22 is awesome, my boyfriend got me that a while back. The movie about it is pretty decent as well.
catch 22
fight club (so far i'm abominatrix)
His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman
Being me is awesome. Sometimes.
Oh and I forgot to add, has anyone read the original Wizard of Oz series? Im not a huge fan of the film but I loved the books.
Ah, yes---I read The Wizard of Oz. Granted, it was years ago, but it still counts, no?
But on the REAL question::: I've never been a fan of picking just one, so deal with it.
---The Abhorsen Trilogy, by Garth Nix. Whoa:::this completely blew my mind, especially the first one, Sabriel. His world is amazing, as ar the characters, the plot, the "bell" system....*sigh* Genius
---The Kingdom of Thorn and Bone (So far, just The Briar King and The Charnel Prince), by Gerg Keyes::: Equally amazing, although still unfinished. I'm most confident that will go down as one of the greatet fantasy series of all time.
---As much as I doubt this needs to be said, I'll go ahead and say it anyways---A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R. R. Martin. Just read.
---The Perilous Gard, by Elizabeth Marie Pope:::What can I say? I'm a sucker for any retelling of Tam Lin (except Fire and Hemlock. Yuck.) The author only wrote two books, but this is far better than the other, in my opinion.
---Feist. More specifically, The Serpentwar Saga, as I haven't read anything else by him---YET. And that's always a good thing.
---Anything by Patricia A. McKilip. You don't even need to read her books for the plot, or characters, or her wonderful settings---the language itself is enough. It's absolutely beautiful, and captures the fairytale feeling like none I've ever read before.
Ah, magic does exist.
Vision of the Future and The Icarus Hunt by Timothy Zahn.
Cyclops by Clive Cussler.
im not really into novels, but two books i enjoyed were watership down (haha nick) and the hunt for red october. im more into short stories (they dont lose my interest too fast) and my favorit is the abyss by hg wells
You should check out the Nathaniel Hawthorne book I mentioned.im more into short stories
...
Of course. I read them... probably almost 10 years ago. I had the boxed set of all the books (cant remember where I got it), but they were lost and/or stolen by one of my mom's boyfriend's children. But they're awesome books. :skull3:Originally Posted by kikimm
I never read The Wizard of Oz, but I did read one of the sequels...can't remember the name, but it was awesome. They took most of the characters from it and put them in that Return to Oz movie, and I was horrified because the movie was HORRIBLE. It was a great book, back when I read it...at least 7 years ago.
All of the Redwall series books, by Brian Jaques (Redwall, Mossflower, Salamandastron, ect.)
Eragon, by Christopher Paolini
and... I'll get back to you...
"Everything has a purpose. It's your life's mission to find yours."
I don't really read books that I often but the Stephen King books are cool.
"No matter what happens... I will find you."
Holy crap, that was a good book. I think the name of that story is Lunch at Gotham Cafe.Along with Everything's Eventual, by Stephen King. Good stuff, especially...the title slips me, but it involves a crazy French waiter.
Signature by rubah. I think.
Stephen King is pretty cool. <i>The Shining</i> scared the crap outta me.
I just read the first chapter of CRASH by J. G. Ballard.
I'm never having sex again.
