Whats Your Favorite Book?

Originally posted by Alexander: "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess. He created not only a gripping tale of government abuse, betrayal, and an ever-changing view of the protagonist (who shares my namesake), but he also created a new form of slang (loosely based on Russian). My second favorite would be "1984" by George Orwell, although I'm too tired to list my reasons for that one.

No kidding my droogie! Here's another devotchka devoted to Burgess, LOL!

I can't name a favourite book by the way, there's simply too many brilliant ones around.

Hmmm... really hard question..

probably the Three Musketeers by A. Dumas [img]smile.gif[/img]

BattleTech, The SmokeJaguar Chapters, Final Mission:

Why? Because the book actually showed what 'Mech pilots did for entertainment! If it wasn't spying on people in their bedrooms with little robotic camera all seeing eyes it was playing holographic warfare and reinacting great battles of the Civil war. like ghettysburg, except with Holographic 'Mechs in little stadiums for everybody to watch. "Captain Robert was determined that the South would, infact, win this time around" lol stuff like that... I also liked the blood of Corinskey chapters because they sort of gave some insight as to how Truebirths and Freebirths were designated and treated... I thought it was so odd that Corinskey, himself not being a Trubirth, raised a race that believed that FreeBirth was unhonorable.. yet he is aknowledged by the clans as their great begining leader! O_o sort of like Hitler in a way, being Austrian but teaching ways of German Superiority... why thingslike that happen in history is beyond me!

Other books I liked? ummm probably Spider Robinson's FutureKiller, and it's REALLY great sequel, the name of which you can look up [img]smile.gif[/img]

The rest of my favorties go to stephen king, and some random graphic novels which i suppose don't count as "good reading"

LOL i could see myself as a kid in class...

"What are you reading?"

"ummm its an interesting story of a samurai named lone wolf and his little kid named cub and they slaughter all sorts of people..."

"...umm ok, do you have a comic book folded up in there?"

"no..."

".... what the, let me see that..."

*teacher picks up book and flips through all the pages of gore*

"This isn't apropriate reading material for your 'free reading' time, I recomend you read 'to kill a mokingbird' or something"

"aawww but it had a descent story and plot!!"

"I'll just confiskate this..."

*pupils dissapear behind a set of glaring eyes fixated in an unblinking evil stare at the teacher*

*teacher sweats*

"The Rift War Saga" by Raymond Feist

The first book Magician: Apprentice is the best!

-----------------------------------------------------------------

and all the Spell Singer books by Alan Dean Foster are great reads too!

Oh BTW it was hard for me to choose...I have over 5000 books here in my room...(been collecting paperbacks since I was old enough to read, you should hear what my wife "says" everytime we move [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

Well, I don't have just one favorite, but it's a series of seven books called the Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Why? Because they were pretty much the first fantasy books I started reading and it's very original. It's more serious and adult-ish than their Dragonlance books also. Overall, I just love 'em. It's where this name came from.

One of these four, all by L.E. Modesitt: The Whiter Order, The Colors of Chaos, Magi'i of Cyador, or Scion of Cyador. WONDERFUL books, with what seem to me to be some of the best developed characters in any books I've read, and very good plots, settings, etc...
