what's your favorite book

["angel" of war]

remember to also write why you like it too. mine would have to be the illearth war it has some of the greatest battles in litreture and the characters are so noble yet flawed and so human also it doesn't use any of the cliche tolkien creatures my only complaint is that its extremely depressing. one of the best adult fantasy books in history bar none

Wheel of Time By Robert Jordan

Compelling series, the characters, world and story are exellent.

Just waiting for the last book, hope the old git dosen't die before it's finished really need some closure.

[Sqrl]

I don't know if you'd count it as a book, but Love Hina by Ken Akamatsu. It's just so, touching, and inspiring, and such.

As for book books, I've always liked the Dragonlance books dealing with The Companions, especially the Dragons of _____ series.

Either you're bullshitting, or you don't know how many Dragonlance books there are.

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Hollow/2077/booklist.htm

[tidus2005]

i have read all of the tracy hickman/margaret weis at least the common one such as the ones on that list you gave. Soulforge tells the story of raistlin and his test and the choices he makes.

i found it here is a link to it on barnes and nobles it is item 15

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/results.asp?SAT=11&SRT=R&userid=37HCHD85K2&WRD=tracy+hickman

[Senesia]

Most of the Fyodor Dostoevsky's books.

[The1]

A good book series would be Christopher Pike or Stephen King.. By far this collection is the best.

I didn't ask what it was about. I'm looking at 20 Dragonlance books on a shelf across the room right now. I simply said that you didn't read all of them as you stated.

[tidus2005]

yeah like i said i have read "most" (all was an overstatement after i look at the book list on barnes and nobles) of them atleast all of the ones that are on the link that you posted(i am yet to find the legend of huma tho at my local book store) and i gave you a link to soulforge because i didnt know if you have read it or not because it was not on that list.

[Medieval Bob]

Yes The Soulforge is on that list. It's about 2/3rds down the page under the heading The Raistlin Chronicles.

Did you not scroll down? Everything on that page is a Dragonlance book.

[tidus2005]

ok i am being pretty vague in what i mean when i say dragonlance so ill elaborate i have looked over the list and now see soulforge when i previously said that i have read all of the dragon lance books what i meant is that i have read all of the ones written by tracy hickman and margaret weis all of the ones to my knowledge that involve the characters of Tanis,Raistlin,Tas,Flint,Caramon, and the other characters like kitara and Sturm also the ones that include their children like Dragons of summer flame and Second generation. i hope this clears up what i have read i am sorry for not explaining this the first time but i didnt really think about the other authors of dragon lance, i assumed that the only ones that were talked about much were the ones written by tracy hickman and margaret weis.

I still say that my favorite book is The Soulforge :):):):):):)

[Jessifer]

it would be kool if there was a way to read a book in like 5 seconds... wow


Where's the enjoyment in reading in that? I mean yeah, it'd be good for dictionaries and phone books and stuff of the sorts, but not for reading for enjoyment. I love to be able to read and just visualize what's happening in my head. I even purposely slow down sometimes.

I've been told to read Wheel of Time. Has anyone read that and could give me feedback on it?

[Medieval Bob]

Wheel of Time is a good series. I'd reccomend Dragonlance over it though.

[Jessifer]

Hm...Anyone else recommend any books? Prefferably fantasy.

[Raziel]

The Dark Tower series. Best damn books I've ever read.

[Dan XIII]

Hm...Anyone else recommend any books? Prefferably fantasy.there are millions of mangas that are like that.If you live near a library you could get some probably.
