liamc2 Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by BabyGirl [/i] [B] [color=deeppink]*sigh* Yes, I do. Problem? Hehe, actually, the reason I posted that was because people are dumb when it comes to Harry Potter. Stupid fools have probably never even read the books. I assume that if you don't like it, you probably haven't either...[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] Weren't those Harrypotter is the tool of the devil ppls chucking a spaz about Pokemon and Digimon a couple of months ago? Oh yeah, a really good book to read is 'Artemis Fowl' by Eoin Colfer i think. If you can't find that, Fabled lands is always good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticGohan Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 [size=1][color=royalblue]Well, my favorite novel , that told the best message was " My name is Davy, I'm an alcoholic". I swear, this book had the biggest impact on my life about drinking. I suggest all you "young bloods" to read this book!!

And sure, I read depressing books, too. I've read the ones you guys are mentioning, or I would never let myself complain about them.

GinnyLyn Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 [COLOR=chocolate]Let's see here... --the [i]Redwall[/i] series is good --[i]Watership Down[/i], yes! --the Prydain (o dear, sp?) series by Lloyd Alexander ([i]Book of Three, Black Cauldron, The Castle of Llyr, Taran Wanderer, The High King[/i]) --[i]A Winkle in Time[/i] series Sometimes I like to break with "traditional" books and venture into my comics collection--like [i]Calvin and Hobbes[/i] or [i]FoxTrot[/i]. Crichton's good ('specially [i]Jurassic Park[/i] and [i]Sphere[/i]). I remember reading [i]Christine[/i] by King. Man, never thought a book could scare me until I read stuff by King. [i]Lord of the Flies[/i] is....[i]interesting[/i]...to say the least. The building and collapsing of a "primitive" society, but everyone should read that at least once.

GinnyLyn Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 [COLOR=chocolate]Oh yes, most definitely the first one--I must say, the art is simply beautiful! My fab pic is the one where the TRex herd blocks the traveling procession of Bix and company. The puddle reflections...wow! Or maybe the waterfall city--that was another good one.

People think it's strange to be reading a book about rabbits, but I even got one of my friends who doesn't like to read...to read it...and she loved it :D.

Guest Athena Posted December 11, 2001 Share Posted December 11, 2001 I love most of these books that you guys are talkin about...but I read this one the other day, it's called Girl with a Pearl Earring. It's by umm.....grrr....i can't remember! Oh well, it's a really good historical fiction that centers around a fictional muse of the Dutch painter Vermeer. It's kind of a coming of age story, in a way, but it's really quite good....I recommend it! Also, definitely anything at all by Michael Crichton. I absolutely :love: LOVE:love: everything and anything he writes. You should try a book of his called A Case of Need...it's set when abortion was illegal and that's what it's about too...Check it out sometime, it's really great! Laters, cool guys :rotflmao: !

GinnyLyn Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 [COLOR=chocolate]Even though the book [i]Watership Down[/i] is long (400 pages) and about rabbits, it is definitely worth a read! Especially the bit about the tyrant General Woundwort. The only thing is, in order to get the full effort of why Woundwort is so awful is to read how the bucks begin their journey in their search for freedom. (In a way, I guess you could say it is a parody--well, um, maybe that's not the word I want to use, but *shrugs*--of the events leading up to and involving the American Revolution.)

Navi Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 when i was younger i loved raul dauhl...sp? the witches was my favorite book. ohh..and amelia badelia! and the twits! ahhh. anyway, read a clockwork orange as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Master O Beans Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Navi [/i] [B]read a clockwork orange as well... [/B][/QUOTE] Yeah - I read that over the summer...that's definitely a struggle to get through!! at least I thought so. I don't really have anytime for pleasure reading anymore though, the last book I read was "The Hobbit" it was really good too. Right now I'm trying to read "The Inferno"...but lack of time, and the fact that it's really hard to read = little progress. But perhaps I'll do that over break..which starts Thursday! yay!:whoops: :wave: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read that book!! Lol, it's one of the few I've actually ever read. It is a good book, but my favorite rabbit type book would be [u]Perloo the Bold[/u] by Avi, I liked it, I read it all in one night even though its about 30 chapters long.. though, each chapters only about 3-5 pages long :p Another good book is [u]And Then There Were None[/u] by Agatha Christie. I liked that one as well. And you can never leave out a classic like [u]20,000 Leagues Under the Sea[/u] :D[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
