x410xDragon Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck It's sad, but still very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsfascinating Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 It's between The Secret History by Donna Tartt or Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averageness Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck It's sad, but still very good. Oh I absolutely love that book. I really enjoyed reading The Jungle Book too. To be honest, I don't read that many classics. I would love to read more but other things just take up my time.

Oo Ion oO Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 It's Montaigne's "Essays". He debates ancient philosophy, and in a most genious way incorporates it into his own life during the french renessaince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totoyeahwhat Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Barely ever read anything, but the last HP book was awesome I must admit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahsutify Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 My most favorite books are generally in my own language, so you wouldn't know. But to name a book most would enjoy, I can say Captain Blood. It is about a pirate and his crew. It was really really enjoyable. I enjoy pirate stories a lot and it is difficult to find a good one. I also welcome suggestions about pirate stories. I've collected some books about pirates to read but they are mostly about history of the pirates, not novels.

N0RAZ Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I don't read alot of literature, but one book I did enjoy reading was called Extraordinary Evil: A Brief History of Genocide... And Why It Matters, by Barbara Coloroso. If you ever get the chance to read this book I highly advise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubzy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 There's a lot. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, Kafka on the Shore and Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami would be some of my favourites. I honestly read short story compilation as I prefer older literature, and Edgar Allen Poe's The Black Cat and The Tell-Tale Heart would be one of my favourite pieces of literature. Also, I could list dozens of poems I love but we're talking about books here. There's probably plenty more I'm forgetting at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtimusPrime Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I hardly read to be honest, but some favourites that come to mind: Jules Verne - Journey to the Centre of the Earth HG Wells - The War of the Worlds Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenLegacy-- Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 The Bartimaeus Trilogy (which ended up being four books, oddly) is my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePres Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Really? I thought that was the worst of the entire series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardedBushMan Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A few of my all time favorite books: "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer" by Patrick Suskind "Keep the Aspidistra Flying" by George Orwell "Cat's Cradle" by Kurt Vonnegut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Governor Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) The Hunchback of Notre-Dame ("Notre-Dame de Paris" in french). It's basically the game of thrones of the 19 century (and i mean exactly that). It's quite different from the cartoon. Phebus is actually the biggest douchebag alive, Esmeralda has pea for brains (and his insanely irritating), and Frolo is actually the most relatable character of the book. Ravage (René Barjavel) - and pretty much all of his novels. This is French SF, and he has a rather unique style.

Deftorn Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The Shining, Bag of Bones, and IT, from Stephen King. The shining really got me into his writing, so that holds a special place in my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dijonketchup13 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. The whole series is hilarious. I'm also a big fan of "The Silver Linings Playbook" by Matthew Quick. I read it before seeing the movie based on it, and the book is infinitely better than the film. It's easily one of the loosest adaptations I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
