Favourite Books/Novels/Pieces of Writing?

[Eric the Grey]

Well, I never get to read anything not related to school.

I'm in the same boat. I solved my problem by listening to audio books from Audible in my truck while going to and from work/school/game/GF's. I'm currently listening to Xenocide by Orson Scott Card. I find that I can listen to hard (or not-so) Science Fiction much more than I can read it.

For reading, I prefer Fantasy titles. I'm a huge fan of Mercedes Lackey's "Valdemar" series of books as well as Tolkien, Robert Jordan (can't wait to read the conclusion of his series) and Pratchett.

Usually, there is enough to keep me in new titles, but there are a few that I'll go back to ever so often. One of the few books I re-read every few years is Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

Edit: I was just checking out titles on Audible and found Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and Grey Mouser books in audio format, read by Neil Gaiman! Guess what I'm ordering for my selection for this month??

Jack Whyte's Camulod series. It's based on the King Arthur Legends.

Eberron books by various authors.

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin

I'll add more when I think of them.

Hell no. But I will hunt Peter Jackson (who is rumoured to be directing The Hobbit) down and kill him if he massacres The Hobbit.

I thought Guillermo del Toro was directing.

I also like The Wasp Factory, and Lord Of The Flies. Everyone I know hates The Wasp Factory, I'd love to find a fellow fan. ^^

I didn't like the Wasp Factory. I do love Banks' Crow Road though.

Awww. Then again, I'm probably a weirdo cuz I used to identify with the main character, and think about who I'd like to bump off. -.- I might check Crow Road out sometime.

I just finished the third Skulduggery Pleasant book. Man, I love that series. It's a pretty light read, but so much fun.

Now I just have to wait a year for the next book. And there has to be one. Stopping now would be like ending Dead Man's Chest and not making At Worlds End.

The poems and short stories by E. A. Poe.

Almighty Me by Robert Bausch - I've had him teach my American Lit 1 & 2 classes and a few Creative Writing Courses at the local community college. He's a wonderful author and an awesome person.
