The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien (in case for some strange reason you didn't know who wrote it )

One of my favourite theory guys, and a book I've read countless times but keep coming back to:

Michel de Certeau - The Practice of Everyday Life (1984).

Just downloaded Lord of the Rings, all in one volume as an e-book. We NEEDS to read it again!

I'm looking forward to reading:

Fifty Sheds of Grey: A Parody: Erotica for the not-too-modern male

Nice...yeah I wanted to read The Hobbit again before seeing the movie. Books are usually better than the movie, but I still enjoy watching. I just try not to look at them in the same way...they are separate entities.

That should be a good read to say the least...

Are any of the #! Community members here avid readers? If so, are you reading any awesome books you think might pull someone's interest towards reading it as well? The purpose of this thread is to share your favorite books and authors so we can all enjoy that great feeling that comes from reading a book.

For me, I've been in the middle of devouring Catherine Fisher's novels (Currently in the middle of Incarceron and it's fantastic).

Also: If you have a goodreads account be sure to leave it here! ^ ^ v

here's mine.

I like a good Sci-Fi, Fantasy, or Mystery/Detective Novel.

The "Chronicles of Solace" trilogy by Roger MacBride Allen is one of my favorites.
I don't know anyone else who has read it though.

I am reading the Dresden Files series right now.
It's a Fantasy-Detective Novel how could I not like it?

I don't have goodreads account (never heard of it) but I might make one.
I would take me quite a while to list everything I have read though, I have enough here to give them their own room.

Oh man the Dresden Files are hella good. I like Jim Butcher's style of writing a lot. Haha that's good. Do you read ebooks too? Or prefer that special tacticle effect that a physical book gives you? Goodreads is great if you want to keep track of everything you've read or want to read in the near future. It helps me a lot since I'm not that orderly. I heard good things about "Chronicles of Solace" I might as well add it to my books-to-read list!

^ I prefer a real book but I keep some ebooks on my phone so I have something to read anywhere I go.
I made a goodreads account and put a few books on there.
I can read a normal size paperback in 18-24 hours, I used to go through a book a day when I was younger and had more freetime.
I have read so many books because of that I don't remember them all, I don't know when I might get that list close to done.

The "Chronicles of Solace" is more Hard Sci-Fi than some people like, which is why I think it is less well know.
I really liked it because of that though and I reread it occasionally.

Had no clue there was a thread about books already. Guess that's why my thread got moved to here? Anyways, I've been enthusiastically gouging on Catherine Fisher's novels. Finished Incarceron, and started Sappique (the sequel). I also want to get back to The Hunger Games trilogy and TRY to finish A Song of Ice and Fire.

Yes. There is a search function that is a magnifying glass on every page, top right.

You have excellent taste in books BTW

I don't know which book to read. War and Peace by Tolstoy or The Idiot by Dostoyevsky.

Those are still great picks!

I sent ya a friend request there. The website is fun because it lets me see what books you've read and stuff. Oh, is it as sci-fi as Gravity's Rainbow? That book was so HARD for me to finish, but when I finished it it gave me this "AHHHHH, I DID IT!!" sort of relief.

Ah thanks! I think this will become my favorite thread to visit on here. I love #! and to see that a lot of the members here are avid readers makes me so happy :3

I have not read Gravity's Rainbow so I can't compare the two but it won't make you grab a reference book unless you don't know what a wormhole is already.
It is not "Star Trek" style Sci-Fi, it is darker and has quite a different flow than that more like a Noir detective novel.

Ah then I'll be alright with it. I'm actually an aspiring sci-fi horror enthusiast. So I know my way around these terminologies. Don't worry about it. I'm also a trekkie! If you ever find yourself reading Gravity's Rainbow, man, you're in for the wildest of rides.

I read the 'Raven's chronicles'. 3 tomes in the series.

I am reading A Game of Thrones at the moment, really enjoying it.

kbmonkey · 2013-01-14 19:52:47

I'm busy with Porn, the sequel ten years after Trainspotting.

How do you find GOT, @Dobbie?

I recently finished A Dance with Dragons (book 5 in the US, 6 in the UK), and cannot wait until the next one! Hopefully we won't have to wait too long. How do you like A Game of Thrones? Another great series that I think is just as good, if not better, is Pat Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles, the two books published so far are The Name of the Wind and A Wise Man's Fear.

I'm half way though the Hobbit (Or There and Back Again) by J. R. R. Tolkien. I plan to move on to read the Lord of the Rings. I watched the movies over Christmas break and now have an unhealthy addiction!
