I know there's already been tons of boards with the same topic but I'm looking for some good books and who better to ask then...then you guys? Heh, so if you could tell me what the book is about roughly that'd be great. I'll also be glad to give you my recommendations.

Or you can just tell me what your all time favourite book is.

Thanks

I have a few favorites but one of the first ones that comes to mind would be "Blood and Chocolate" by Annette Curtis Clause. The book is about a teenage werewolf who falls in love with a human boy and is trying to figure out where she belongs and with whom, all while fighting her packmates and the fear of the townspeople. Another one of my all time favorites would have to be "Strange Toys" by Patricia Geary. Strange Toys is about Pet, who at nine years old is struggling to protect her family from the horrors predicted in her strange older sister's book of secrets -- horrors that indeed come true. At sixteen, Pet is hunting down her older sister to wreak vengence -- or something else. At thirty, Pet attains strength and power enough to protect her from the present, but not from her sister's raging past. Another really good book is "Island of the Blue Dolphins" by Scott O'Dell. It's the story of Karana, the Indian girl who lived alone for years on the Island of the Blue Dolphins. Karana's story is full of adventure and sadness, but it is an incredibly good book.

watership down

That's a good book.

probably the best book ive ever read, that and Jonathan Livingstone Seagul, thats kinda short ony takes an hour or so to read but kinda on the same premise. But aye, watership down is pretty immense, especially when the ill fated rabbits stumble of Efrifa, the police state ran buy Woundwort, HES A VERY BAD RABBIT.

Monkeywrench Gang by Edward Abbey
Dune by Frank Herbert

The God of Small Things - Arundhati Roy...absolutely stunning novel! Read it if your interested in Indian Culture. Very touching and deliciously written!

Captain Corelli's Mandolin - Louis de Bernieres

The Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-Time - Mark Haddon

The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd

OR

His Dark Materials Triology - Phillip Pullman ...First title is "Northen Lights" i think. BRILLIANT. Vivid imagery etc etc
The countless websites DO NOT do it justice

There are so many, but near the top of the list:

The Giver
1984
Walden
Anything by Louis L'Amour
Fahrenheit 451
Anything by Bentley Little

The longest - most painful, yet serioulsy most interesting -"The Stand" by Stephen King.

Anything By John Sandford! Great stuff.

Fatherland

That's what I was going to say! That is my favorite book of all time.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

That book brings back so many good memorys!

One I've read recently is "Fall on your Knees." by Anne Marie Macdonald. It's about a famliy with many hidden secrets. Pretty good book.

warriors :fire and ice

i like my brother sam is dead and agatha christie's and then there were none

Best books ever:

Atlas Shrugged
Frankenstein

With Hobbit/LotR/Simirillon all a close second.

And Chronicles of Amber series in 3rd.

Best book would have to be Eragon, and Eldest, don' remember the author though.

Simirillion was an absolute mind melter, managed about the fist two chapters and then gave up.............maybe i dont have the mental capacity!

The Giver
The Lovely Bones
After the First Death
1984
Fahrenheit 451
The Outsiders was allright.

Too many, but the stand outs for me are:

A Song of Ice and Fire series, by George R.R Martin
The Dark Tower series, by Stephen King
Neverness, by David Zindell
Night, by Elie Wiesel

The Stand and Gerald's Game -Stephen King
Speaks the Nightbird Robert R. McCammon
Ghost Story-Peter Straub the movie sucked
The Midnight Cafe-Laurell K. Hamilton
The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon
1812..forgot the author
The Face=Dean Koontz

I also forgot King's Desparation,and the 2 books wrote with Straub..Can't remember the titles right now lol. Darn head injury.

Although this sounds silly. It is a very good book. It's called The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocplyse. It's about a boy who wants to go tot the Big City and do something with himself. He makes a wrong turn. And ends up in Toy City. A city populated with toys, bears, dollies and other strange creatures. Also, there is a serial killer on the loose, murderering Fairy Tale characters. It's a great book. It's by Robert Rankin.

FIND IT AND READ IT!

Read:

1 Redwall Series

2 Cryptid Hunters

3 The Davinche Code

4 Holy Blood Holy Grale

5 Moby Dick

6 The Outsiders

I never got in Redwall. Looked good though.

"sabriel" - Garth nix, first in the series of 3, is a good book though I've only read 3/4 of it so far.

its about a daughter of a great necromancer called "abhorsen", inwhich he suddenly vanishes. so Sabriel sets off to find him through the old kingdom. Abhorsen was a necromancer set on helping those that had died, cross the gates into the afterlife, unlike other necromancers.
Sabriel is caught between two worlds, Ancelstierre (her home) and the old kingdom (where her destiny lies)

I read the Silmarillion...the whole thing, had to force myself to finish it though.

The Electric Kool-aid Acid Test, by Tom Wolfe, good book too.

as far as Moby Dick goes, I'd say that the first half is kind of negligible, it doesn't add a ton to the story, its just about whaling in general.

American Gods by Neil Gaiman was really good

Ender's Game is one of the greatest books ever written, go get it, by Orson Scott Card

my head injury opened up
the King/Straub books are:
The Talisman
Black House
