Roxanne (and I think someone else said Mercedes Lackey as well), which of her books/series was your favorite?

Oh, definitely the first ones I read - Arrow's flight, Arrow's fall and Arrows of the Queen. I like all of her stuff, but the Valdemar books are my favorites.

I LOVE "To Kill a Mockingbird," by Harper Lee. Absolutly the Bomb-Diggity.

Also lurve "Star Split" by Kathryn Lasky. Very thought provoking, and good.

QUOTE (Yoda @ Jan 19 2004, 02:52 PM)


'The Lord of the Rings' by Mr. Tolkien

May the force be with you Master Yoda.

I'm a much bigger LOTR fan than I am of Harry Potter.

Tolkien is my favourite author.

Stephen King's The Shining, The Green Mile, and The Shawshank Redemption are also pretty good.

Charles Dickens is also pretty good.

Mein Kampf was a good read. I condemn Hitler's actions but it's still a good read.

I love Animal Farm (George Orwell), must've read it about 35 times. biggrin.gif

My other favorites are:

Midnight (Dean R. Koontz)
Flowers for Algernon - The Novel Edition (Daniel Keyes)
Holes (Louis Sachar)
The Unprotected Witness (James Stevenson)
A Brief History of Time (Stephen Hawking)
World As I See It (Albert Einstein)


I like to call these books 'The Seven Wonders of Literature'.

“Stupefy,” said Harry. The American exchange student dropped to the ground, stunned.
“Woah!” Cedric exclaimed in astonishment. “You can do magic?!”
“Come on, Cedric,” Harry sighed. “We’d better take this together. You know, so Draco Malfoy won’t think I’m selfish. I really want to get with him, you know.”

A certain smug little asshole who thought it was bloody funny! *Mutters* I wanted to read that series, too, but not so much anymore.

Now I was wondering, does anyone else have a fluff author? As in whenever they are stressed or in a bad mood they pick up one of their books because they _know_ that there will be butterflies and rainbows and everything will turn out happy in the end? Because I had Lackey as mine but the last two 'happy' fluff books by her I picked up were _Brightly Burning_ and _Magic's Pawn_ and I'm thinking maybe I need a new fluff author.

I like science books. And I also like Agatha Christie, because even though it isn't rainbows, there is lots of blood and everything works out in the end.

The Harry Potter series by JKR.

1984 by George Orwell

Animal Farm by George Orwell

Beyond Band of Brothers by Maj. Richard D. Winters

I love random books, other than the obvious favorites (like LOTR, and Jane Austen for example). More Than You Know by Beth Gutcheon is one that I love, Anne Rice's Original Vampire Chronology (the first 3), some Anne Tyler books, O' Henry shorts, Nicholas Sparks The Guardian, James Herriot (he's fantastic for kids), Philippa Gregory...

Now that I'm out of school, I'm afraid my reading is probably going to get less and less sophisticated thumbup1.gif
