What are your favorite books?

[finale2001]

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.

I don't know what my favorite books are. I barely read.

[BlueDragon1981]

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.

I have only read Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. What else would you recommend by him?

[Skeptic 2004]

I have a new favorite to add:

 

The Abolition of Man by C.S. Lewis

It's a short book, but man, it's deep. REAL deep.

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.

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...).
