Books - Favourites and What are you currently reading? [merged]

[Ruth]

Just wondering - as I love reading and buy books like they're going out of fashion - what everybody's favourite books are?

My favourite three are probably (1) To Kill A Mockingbird - by Harper Lee (2) Lorelei's Secret - by Carolyn Parkhurst, and (3) American Psycho - by Bret Easton Ellis.

[hass]

all 4 dave courtney books. just got his 5th installment this morning :spin::spin2:

[1_In_A_Million]

i like the harry potter books

[Siouxsie]

true stories

[~*Xtine*~]

The Da Vinci Code was an excellent book...very very good to read i could't put it down! Just reading the new Harry Potter book at the moment lmao Sooo Sad! Hass got me into Dave Courtney his books are good aswell! I read To Kill A Mocking Bird for GCSE and thought it was quite good but not one of my favourites lol :spin2:

[BigSister]

I ,like Harry Potter and any chick flick book. I also like 1984 as well read it for my A level english coursework also like Jane Austen as well

[1_In_A_Million]

my friend has read 1984 i think is it

[Slartibartfast]

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy!!

Greatest trilogy (in 5 parts!) ever written anywhere! It will change the way you view and think about the whole world.

Dan Brown's books are pretty good, if a little one dimensional.

LOTR is brilliant, as is a similar series by Terry Brooks, the Shannara Series.

[1_In_A_Million]

i hate lord of the rings is soo long and boring

[1_In_A_Million]

i hate the films too!

[Slartibartfast]

I loved the fact the LOTR books are soooo long (and not boring!!). You can get lost in that whole world for days on end, brilliant stuff.

[1_In_A_Million]

i don't like really long books i get bored easilly of they're to long! and then i never bother to read the rest of them so i don't get to know what happens

[Sunny_01]

My favourite books are a series called the Shanarra series by Terry Brooks they are very good - down the lines of maybe lord of the rings but a lot lighter and more fun to read.

I also like Terry Pratchets Good Omens - that is the funniest book I have read for a long time

Generally though I read anything - have just read all the new Dan Brown books and enjoyed them :colour:

[BusyBee]

I like any book that grabs my attention within the first two pages.

I love some of the classics - Jane Austen, To Kill a Mockingbird, Wuthering Heights etc., but I also love things like Bridget Jones Diary and of course Harry Potter.

Though I never managed to get through the Lord of the Rings books - found them really heavy going.

[~Kizwiz~]

I like any sort of book but love To Kill a Mockingbird and any Ian Rankin books.

But my fav books are Phillip Pulman his dark materials trilogy! half way between harry potter and lord of the rings! OMG they're amazing and I' m on the final one of the trilogy and cant put it down but at the same time i want to savour it as i know it will end soon!!!

[ThaGazBoi]

Harry POTTER collection [i got all 6]
sorting out billy~ jo brand

[sexy_rach]

Ummm i like reading the harry potter, once iv read it once i cant read it all again for ages though

Brook's Shannara series is great, Sunny. I love em. The first three books especially were really good reads. :dance:

[Ella]

My favourite book is Dave Pelzers "a child called it" makes me cry everytime i read it but its a brilliantly written book and a true story aswell

[Sunny_01]

Totally agree - wow I have never known anyone else that has heard of them and when I try to describe them to people they give me that "hmmm elves kind of look"

[Slartibartfast]

LOL, "hmmm elves kind of look" is one I'm familiar with! Most of the books I read are that kind of stuff, LOTR, the Dragonlance series, Shannara etc, etc.

I'd highly recommend the series by Terry Goodkind as well, Wizards First Rule is the first in the series. Great books along the same lines as the above.

Good to see someone is into the same kind of stuff I read, as you say most people hear elves and goblins and turn their noses up at it!

[ThaGazBoi]

Comedies i love comedy books

[Fangz]

I've got too many books to count, and could never choose a favourite.
BTW, have any other Harry Potter fans found that book six isn't as good as book five, or is it just me?

[ThaGazBoi]

Its okay, I think its better then book 5 but JUST

[Fangz]

I prefer book five, the Umbridge thing had me in stitches. It had just the right balance of humour and drama.

[BigSister]

I think its better than book 5 because i wsnt too keen on the dark thing like I wasnt that keen on book 2 either

[Siouxsie]

What book are you reading at the moment ?
Im reading Bruce Lee life story I love biographies

[Slartibartfast]

I'm reading (for the second time) Wizards First Rule by Terry Goodkind, kind of Lord of Rings territory but more grown up and thankfully a little shorter!!

Everyone reading this thread should go out and read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the greatest trilogy (in 5 parts) ever written.

[Siouxsie]

yepmy hubby is a fan of hitchhikers

[Siouxsie]

aww what a compliment

[~Kizwiz~]

third book in Phillip Pullmans Dark Materials Trilogy

[Ruth]

I'm reading Hide and Seek by Ian Rankin. It's the second book about the detective Rebus. Don't read them if you want an early night - if you're like me, you won't be able to put it down!

[Ruth]

I've read Hitchhikers - love the book and the tv show. Haven't seen the film yet though.

[Fangz]

I'm reading 'The Etched City' by K. J. Bishop.

[BigSister]

Im not reading a book at the moment but im trying to get P.s i love you by Cecila Ahern off my aunty

[Siouxsie]

what are you reading at the min
Ive just finished Jordans Autobiography

[Siouxsie]

no one likes books ?

[Ruth]

Yes, I LOVE books, and have hundreds and hundreds of them. I am reading Lucky by Alice Sebold at the moment.

[Fangz]

I'm a bit of a book-worm, myself.
I've just finished reading 'Out' by Natsuo Kirino for the second time.

[jrc]

I used to read ALL the time!! Now I only read Harry Potter (a bit sad really)

[Fangz]

I used to read books of every genre, but these days I only read fantasy, crime novels and true crime. I have a slight fascination with the concepts of homicide and the supernatural...

[Ruth]

I tend to read a lot of crime - real and fictional. I like horror as well, like Dean Koontz and Stephen King. Lucky, which I'm reading at the moment is a bit of a departure for me.

[Princess]

i am reading the sisterhood of travelling pants #3 at mo got it this morning i like teen books and i love harry potter

[lizzie_bb5]

I read Jordans autobiography this week- i thought it was really good! x

[BigSister]

Last book I read was Where Rainbows end by Cecila Ahern. I also read ps I love you by her as well im not sure what my next book will be

[~Kizwiz~]

Just finished Phillip Pullmans Dark Materials trilogy (well worth a read) and Ben Eltons Past Mortem (not so good as I guessed the murderer half way through)

[BigSister]

lol well thats not fun as it ruins the book

[ThaGazBoi]

i own jordans biography, i bought it in woolworths in Febuary.
I dont read alot but when i do i read true life.
The last one i read was: A Child Called It by dave pelzer

[~Kizwiz~]

Oh yeah, that's a sad book, especially because it's a true story. It upset me as well, but at the same time it's slightly uplifting, I think, because it shows how resilient the human nature can be.

[ThaGazBoi]

I havent read the other two parts. I need to purchase that

[Fangz]

I've got one of the other two parts, but I'm not quite sure where it is...

[ThaGazBoi]

I borrowed it from my aunty, thinking it wont affect me, but it really did upset me. I will probley use me libary card [if i can find it] and look for it at the libary :hello:

I know, I remember picking up the book and thinking 'ooh, that's bad' but the blurb really doesn't prepare you for what's inside the book.

[ThaGazBoi]

Yeh i know. I was quite surprised at how upset i was actully i didnt think it would affect me. I might start reading again soon.

[Fangz]

Did you end up really really REALLY hating his parents? I remember getting really angry about it.

[ThaGazBoi]

I did indeed, and i feel the dad could have done more to help him. I thought im really happy to have such a great mum.

[Fangz]

His dad was useless, and almost as bad as the mum, in a way. The book made me really grateful for what I have.

[Ruth]

Yes me too. It really made me count my blessings.

[Fangz]

Another true story that made me count my blessings was 'Chinese Cinderella'. It wasn't any where near as extreme as David Pelzer's story, but it's about a chinese girl whose family ostracized her because her mother died giving birth to her. They told her this meant she was 'bad luck', and she was treated like dirt by her siblings, her father and especially her step-mother.

[Ruth]

I haven't heard of that, but I'll keep an eye open for it. There's a book called Once In A House On Fire by Andrea Ashworth, which again, isn't as extreme as Dave Pelzer's book, but it's very sad.

[Fangz]

Ooh, well I'll keep my eye out for that one, then.

[Corkie]

well im just too start a book called candy (for teenagers)

[Siouxsie]

my sis always reads the last chapter of a book before ahe starts to read it how sad is that ?

[bonnie43uk]

Here are 2 of my personal favourites..
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse .. read it when i was 17 .. (many moons ago) .. and it still leaves me profoundly moved!

..And, Unreliable memoirs, by Clive James, this has to be the funniest autobiography of all time.

[Z]

Spy High series by AJ Butcher.

Oh yeah, and Liars and Saints by Maile Meloy

[bonnie43uk]

I'll check them out, cheers!!

[Z]

You're welcome! :bouncy:

[~Kizwiz~]

I've just read Philip Pullman "His Dark Materials" Trilogy and i could easily pick them up again. They're so dark and mysterious.

goes and packs them for my holiday

[bonnie43uk]

I was looking at the trilogy on Amazon about an hour ago, ..they look brilliant, i must get them! Cheers.

[~Kizwiz~]

They captivated me..... and I dont normally go for that type of book. I got so drawn in and I could hardly put them down!

[Princess]

Lorelei's Secret by Carolyn Parkhurst

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis (but I would not recommend that to anyone of a nervous disposition)!

[Sunny_01]

The list is endless of the books I go back to

I like Good Omens - Terry Pratchet just because it makes me laugh out loud!

I get through at least 1 book a week sometimes 2 I am a real bookworm and will read anything

[Ruth]

Me too Sunny. I absolutely love to read, and buy books like they're going out of fashion. Sometimes I buy 4 or 5 a week, but I am trying to cut down!

That book is so funny. The Yes Man is great as well. And if you like Danny Wallace, I'd also recommend any of Tony Hawks' books (the comedian, not the skateboarder)!

[bonnie43uk]

did'nt Tony Hawks carry a fridge all the way around Ireland??
I'd love to try that sometime.

[Ruth]

Yeah he did. The book is Round Ireland With A Fridge, and it's my favourite of his books. One Hit Wonderland is excellent too...in fact any of his books will be guaranteed to make you laugh. I had to stop reading the first one in public because I kept bursting into laughter at inopportune moments!

[Siouxsie]

i only read the beano

[Siouxsie]

Right chat about your fav book or author here. I love biographies.
What are you reading now etc ?

[andybigbro]

[Princess]

I love reading!

My favourites are the entire Harry Potter series and I also love Chantelles book.

I only read romantic novels or celeb autobiographies. Chantelles was my fav autobiography although Gary Barlows comes a close second!

I have all of Jordans books and they're actually all quite good!

Last full book I read was 'Hopeless Romantic' by Harriet Evans which was amazing if not massive!

[Ella]

Im reading a book called 'The Exicutioner' At the moment, I only have about 7 more pages of it to read, Its a really intense and shocking book.

Before that Iread Bridget Jones Diary....Again!

[Siouxsie]

im not into mystery or anything like that i like celeb stories

[Sophii3x]

My fave books are..

1. Angel by Katie Price
2. Lola Rose by Jaqueline Wilson
3. Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot
4. Ac Yna Clywodd Swn Yr Mor (welsh)

Oh yeah, was that when Darren's best friend was killed and he had to drink his blood and after that he liked pickled onions lol?

[Bells]

OMG I can't even remember! (People will think we're right weirdos reading books like that.... :laugh:) But seriously, HOW addictive! I got to the Vampire Prince bit, him figuring out he was... and then in Book 7 I vaguely remember summat about the vampire-ness continuing and then him drinking blood. The pickled onion thing sounds so random, you're probably right!

You've started me off on an old craze again Sol. :wink:

[Sunny_01]

I love to read and I read ANYTHING!

One of my faves is Good Omens by Terry Pratchet - it makes me laugh out loud and I have read it a few times.

Just finished a lovely book by Jody Picoult - Keeping faith

I also like Terry Brooks as a fantasy author - not everyones cup of tea but lovely books to read :cheer:

[Siouxsie]

i tend to stick to real life

[Di2001]

I'm currently reading Chocolat by Joanne Harris.

I'm really enjoying it. Well, it is about chocolate!!!!

[Lauren]

Has anyone read The Last Victim by Jason Moss?

It sounds depressing and strange, but I bought it because I'm interested in becoming a forensic psychologist. The book is an account from a Psychology student (Jason Moss) where he starts communicating with serial killers on death row and getting to know them and tricking them into believing he was a naieve person, their perfect victim. Anyway, he winds up meeting up with John Gacy on death row, and nearly being killed because he got too much involved without realising it.

The story ends with Jason becoming a Psychology professor and telling people accounts of meeting with these serial killers. This is where the story ends.

HOWEVER, in real life (beyond the book) a few years ago he killed himself, tormented by his past. So it's strange reading the book knowing it ends in tragedy in real life. It really takes you on a journey of his life.

[andybigbro]

I Dont Read

[Sophii3x]

Iv'e finished reading Chantelle's autobiography twice now. Loves it, but I have to take it back to the library soon.

I'm just about finishing Ulrika Jonssons aughtobiography, which Iv'e been reading on and off for the past few months. It's soo good. She's been through a lot of ****, some parts are so sad.

And soon I hope to find and then read my copy of 'The Truth About Diamonds', because I only started it and then lost it.

I want the Truth about Diamond aswell. It sounds good. anyways i just finished reading a Victoria beckham Biografy a next neigbour lent me last year.

[sol]

I wish I could get into books. In the past when I used to read books that I liked I used to absolutely love reading. But I find it really difficult yo 'get into' books now which is a shame cos I would love to be able to read more often.

[Aflamo]

I just started to read 1984 by George Orwell seen as how Big Brother starts soon..

His Dark Materials rules!

[Sophii3x]

I can't find my copy of 'The Truth About Diamonds', but I went to my libary today to see if there was one there. They don't have any left in Swansea, but they can try and order one in Camarthen, so I need to wait for a week or so to get it!:sad:

[Bells]

Haha aww don't worry, time flies - you'll get it soon enough. :thumbs:

I've heard it's a really good book, but I haven't read myself - lol, I do intend to, at some point!

I've started re-reading Garys :whistle: Finished Devil Wears Prada other night,it was very good!

[cepb]

My favourite top 5 books are:

1) Frankenstein 9/10
3) Cysgod y Cryman (welsh) 10/10
4) Y Stafell Ddirgel (welsh) 7/10
2) To Kill a Mockingbird 8/10
5) Ac Yna Clywodd Swn Y Mor (welsh) 8/10

-I read Frankenstein at the start of this year for my AS level english lit. exams in June.
-I read To Kill a Mockingbird for GCSE english lit. It was very meaty, and although it was a heavy read it was such a likeable tale.
-I read Y Stafell Ddirgel for my Welsh Lit, GCSE exam, it was OK, but it was all gog welsh, and the language was very sophisticated. It was very heavy and I felt sometimes that it didn't have as much meat as To Kill a Mockingbird.
-I read Ac Yna Clywodd Swn Y Mor when I was in year 9 - loved it!!!

The novice by Trudi canavan for those who like fantasy, for deeper stuff the writers and psychologists Leo bascaglia,Dr Wayne Dyer and the brilliant life and how to cope with it by Dr robin skinner and John Cleese.For a good read Lovely bones and The book of lost things by John Connelly.I like every kind of writing from the Tibetan book of living and dying to Harry Potter to James Joyce.But one of my favourite writers is Stephen King .His genre may seem to be horror but in his writing he shows a deep insight into human nature and spins a great yarn ,I feel the sign of a good book is you hate getting to the end.You dont want it to finish.Thats how I feel about Steven kings books.

[Sophii3x]

OMG! I am soo in love with The Truth About Diamonds by Nicole. It's brilliant! It's all about drug and fame, and this really horrible character called Simone is based on Paris.
