What is your all time favourite book? (2 Viewers)

[jhakka]

Lord Of The Rings.

Greatest books of all time and no current author could match.

Suck my dick J.k Rowling. Your not creative, how about TRY and write your own language, then fail then kill yourself.


Tolkien, your a god.

I don't see Rowling trying to be Tolkien. Also, where does the need for a totally new language arise in her books?

Why?

"Your" instead of "You're" would probably make him cry.

my favorite books of all time:

.castle in the air
.of love and other demons
.25th hour
.the alchemist
.1984
.neuromancer
.da vinci code
.catcher in the rye

 

[volition]

all I know is I hate the da vinci code

Perrrlease. Tolkien constanly made up new words (might i add, so did shakespeare) and such and did'nt let the english language put boundaries against his work. Why would the english language effect how I write in my posts?

'Connexions' was used in 'The Fellowship' and is just one puny example of how Tolkien wrote as how it sounded in voice. A post is like voice and so I adapted by grammar according.

Grammatical errors and spelling errors dont faze true story tellers and shoul'dnt faze readers.

Anyway, a post is as if in direct speech so I was just writing colloqually and how it sounds in real life.

I dont need an english teacher I already have one.

Probably something like the Da Vinci code because it asks for controversy while at the same time educating with general knowledge.

HP & the GOF was another one i enjoyed.

how old are you?

I'm surprised Watership Down by Richard Adams hasn't been mentioned yet. Blood, adventure, and a swarm of horny rabbits? What more could you want?

On a side note, it's sequel is awful.

Another excellent book is American Gods, by Neil Gaiman, simply because it is so well written and the characters are so damn interesting. You can't help but love the deranged charisma that is Czernobog and the detached insight of Shadow.

to kill a mockingbird
by harper lee

 

[ElendilPeredhil]

yay watership down!
also, for a very unusual SF story, that's a good story, but very philosophical too try The Child's Garden

 

[Shell]

'A Fortunate Life' by A.B.Facey.

its the most brilliant story of a man who grew up in Australia in the early 1900's. its so amazing, all the things he went through. he never went to school, so he wasn't educated, and you can see it in his writing. but the life he lived is still mind boggling

 

[isoonsui]

Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma by Jane Austen...!
She is the one of the greatest writers ever, I'd say.

 

[walrusbear]

Probably something like the Da Vinci code because it asks for controversy while at the same time educating with general knowledge.

you're studying 3 units of english??

 

[passion89]

1984 by George Orwell and
To kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee

I also really liked Animal farm and Have his carcase (Dorothy L Sayers)

 

[Filadelphia]

in year 9 i read the "Tomorrow when the war began" series for english. they have to be in my favourite list

 

[ryan11]

I have got a few that I love dearly, and can't choose between:

John Grisham - The Firm
Bret Easton Ellis - American Psycho
Tolkien - LOTR

 

[qapl]

scifi = otherland by tad williams and enders game.

fantasy = a song of ice and fire, or the other way around can't remember. This series is not for children its more adult/disturbing than troy game by sara douglass.

 

[marchetta]

The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter
The Distracted Preacher and Other Stories by Thomas Hardy

 

[lady Arre]

clearly the Lord of the Rings...

i loved pride and prejudice by jane austen too. Another great fantasy is The Rdemption of Althalus (david eddings) its a great read. And who could forget the Hitchikers Guide to the galaxy. Zaphod Beeblebrox is a legend!
another good book thats sort of like hitchhikers if you enjoyed that is Expecting Someone taller by tom Holt. Good reads all of them.

These among many others are books that i could just read cover to cover over and over again.

It's got to be a tie between:
The Red Tree by Shaun Tan
and A Walk to Remember by N.Sparks.

..in my opinion the movie of a walk to remember was only half as good as the book!.
