It's been awhile since I've read a great book. My all time top two books have to be: 1. The House of the Scorpion, and 2. The City of Ember.
EDIT: I keep forgetting to add color ><.

bit of a sci fi geek when it comes to books, but stuff i really enjoyed reading was :-

his dark materials (they based the golden compass on the first book in the trilogy- and murdered it imo )
dan brown ( davinci code/ angels and demons/digital fortress )
any of the disc world books

I read all of the Dark Materials set before I even heard about a movie coming out. I'm not sure if I want to see it though based on what I've heard =\

i urge you to avoid the movie at all costs!!!

its epically terrible

Subject: Re: Book Worms Sat Sep 20, 2008 3:54 pm

I appreciated the Golden Compass as a movie. I don't compare it to the book. It was an awesome movie; I really enjoyed the visuals.

Subject: Re: Book Worms Sat Sep 20, 2008 3:58 pm

Agreed ! , when ever i watch a movie thats based of a book , i judge it based on it own merits, of course i will more than likely prefer the book but for the sake of enjoyment i try as hard as i can to disassociate the two.

Subject: Re: Book Worms Sat Sep 20, 2008 4:02 pm

me too, mike! my thoughts exactly. :positive: movies and books are two completely different adventures.

Subject: Re: Book Worms Sat Sep 20, 2008 5:23 pm

I loved Of Mice an Men.
I think that is the book that started me wanting to read books.

Here are some of my girlfriend's favorite books:
running with scissors
dry
choke
Perks of being a wallflower
Grapes of Wraith
Twilight Series
Catcher In The Rye

Thats it for now. I (Jared) want to get into the redwall series. It looked good but my schedule consists of working xbox sleep time with girlfriend.

Subject: Re: Book Worms Sat Sep 20, 2008 5:43 pm
