isshinryu5toforever Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I have read a lot of books, and I have far too many I like.The Art of War, Hagakure, Plato's Republic (as geeky as that is), bash: three plays by Neil Labute, The Complete Works of Shakespeare, It's Not About the Bike, The Illiad, The Odessy, Erehwon (great book, try reading the title backwards), 1984, Animal Farm, I actually like a few of Asimov's Fairy Tales (Bicentenial Man, AI, I, Robot), ok this list is getting pretty long, those are just a few He who knows others is wise.

finale2001 Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 I tend to be a fantasy nerd, so I like books like Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series...i started to read the Golden Compass but i got bored with it about 100 pages in.I thoroughly enjoyed it. You need to keep reading it...the beginning is a bit slow. Once Lyra gets on her journey, the book picks up at a fantastic rate!i'll have to reread it. thanks.

battousai16 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 the golden compass was a favorite among the staff at the library i used to work at because all of the characters in the audio version had their own voice actor.

Enviroman Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 the golden compass was a favorite among the staff at the library i used to work at because all of the characters in the audio version had their own voice actor.That's fairly rare. The book series is good enough to warrant it, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finale2001 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 That is so cool. I have never listened to a book that has different people for the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Martin Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 I mostly read kids books due to my job and there actually so many good ones. But i say my fave book of all time hands down has to be of mice and men.

Shorin Ryuu Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 You speak Japanese?!?I can fake it well enough but I don't consider myself fluent. At any rate, listening is far easier than speaking.
