Five Favorite Books

Postby ikillu » Sat Apr 02, 2011 10:32 pm

Just curious, I was reading a very interesting novel last night and wondered what everyone else enjoyed.
They don't need to be in any particular order, just throw em out.

I'll start.

1. Halo: Fall of Reach
2. Enders Game
3. 800 Days on the Eastern Front
4. 13th Valley
5. The Last Centurion

Not a big reader.
The only books I've ever truly enjoyed were Stephen King's IT, and J.r.r. Tolkien's The Hobbit (in that order)

Can't you ever make a post that's not criticizing someone else? Christ.

His fall was not a small one.
We did but build his pedestal,
A narrow and a tall one.

I am fucking wasted and just came back from a party at... 6:30am, so pardon my retardation.

Embedded by Dan Abnet(possible spelling error, it is an odd name).

I've followed his work in the Warhammer 40K series for years, this is the first novel of his I've read completely of his own creation.

So far (at about 150 pages in) I love it. It feels like a classic Heinlen novel.
You're presented with a future, that unlike so many series, doesn't tell you exactly how it got there. You just know that it is, and you are left to fill in the blanks. To me that is brilliant.

That sounds interesting. When you finish let me know if you still like it. I'll definitely check it out.

I just read Crank by Ellen? Hopkins or something tonight.

Only took me about 3 hours straight. It was soooooo good.

Its a super easy read and i would very much suggest it.

Its about meth and a 16 year old girl. Intenseeeeee.

other than that and twilight i dont read much unless forced.
