finale2001 Posted August 15, 2005 Author 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.Even understanding it is something to be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragon1981 Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I don't have much time to read, but I will admit that I have read all the Harry Potter books, Eragon is a good book and I read most things by R.A Salvatore and Robert Jordan. I have read The Hobbit, and the Lord of the Ring trilogy.I don't really have a favorite book but genre of books and I think you can tell that from the book titles and authors I named.

emma Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I like any books about Karate and learning phontic Japanese (I always think its nice to be in the know) Hary Potter, the Complete Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Enid Blyton, Philip Pullman, Beverley Clearly- Ramona Quimby, Arther Ransome- Swallow and Amazons Forever, C.S. Lewis, Jacqueline Wilson- Tracy Beaker, Graphic Art books like ie Fred Gambino/ Vellejo and Bell art sketch Books, books about the artists Matisse, Klee, Picasso and Andy Warhol, books about history and cultere, Star Trek Books, cookery and baking books, and various fantasy and sci fci books, and Nina Bawden books phew! I read books as a form of escapedes somewhere to go instead, and to pass the time, and when I read them its like moving pictures in my mind/ head (like watching a film/movie or a TV show) and if I put the book down as I'm often busy elsewhere the characters wonder why the story as stopped dead in its tracks whether its on a chapter of not and probably the answer would be that the person as stopped reading.

Shorin Ryuu Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I have only read Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. What else would you recommend by him?That's all I've read of him that I clearly recall. I think there were maybe some of the Conan the Barbarian novels written by him (which were good...it's been such a long while ago though I can't remember too well...).

Kieran-Lilith Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Ummm...favorite books? I suppose I shall try and keep this list small, but that's hard to do, as I've been reading for so long, and been reading entirely too much....The 47 RoninSecrets of the SamuraiLord of The Rings Series by JRR TolkienThe Hobbit by JRR TolkienThe Harry Potter Series by JK RowlingThe Phantom of The Opera by Gaston LerouxOliver Twist by Charles DickensThe Shamer's SeriesA Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony SnicketRedwall by Brian JacquesThe Flying Dutchman by Brian JacquesAnimorphs Series by KA Applegate (Haven't actually read one in several yeras, but I love them nonetheless.)Ah, there's a lot more, but this is a huge list already, and I just woke up, my brain doesn't quite function at the moment...
