I like detective books like:-
Sherlock Homes:- Read all the stories, they're in a big fat book of my bro's with tiny letters and no pictures. I like all.
Agatha Christie-Poirot- The detective, he's old but he's awesome. I lika all.
Satyajit Ray:- Feluda- Another detective, he got a cousin and a funny bald partner. I like all.
No particular book, everythings cool.
Funny none of those books have pictures, but i read pretty fast. Takes me like 3 days, like 2 hours each day MAYBE, to finish and Agatha Christie Poirot book~
I also like the big fat books of winnie the pooh with letters as big as your ass and lots of gay pictures.
-
Wow...
I finish Harry Potter 7 in 6 hours...
My back ached...
After that, my brother threw me onto the bed and shouting "REST!!" every 3 seconds. LOL. xD
-
Meh, HP's good, but not my favorite kind.
My brother loves HP though.

Hm....Tough Choice.
Series:Pirateology and other Oologies (Templar Publishing)

Same here. I don't really like HP, love LoTR more or CoN....
I hate to admit that the 7th book is great, though. JKR is good at making ppl cry. BUT I HATE THE DEATH SCENES.

I think you might be the only one who out of ALL goodkind's books liked Pillars of Creation the most. LoL. Oh well.
And yes,,HP 7 was awesome. In fact,,I am surprised that noone made a Harry Potter game for RPG Maker XP yet.
SHOCKER!
-
I'd like to make a HP game, but it'll turn into a yaoi game. =P
-
Anything by Palahniuk, but especially Invisible Monsters and Survivor.
Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, but my fav. is Cat's Cradle.
The Contortionist's Handbook by Craig Clevenger
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold (being made into a movie!)
Things You Should Know by Amy Hempel
Yeah, I like depressing/disturbing stories.
-
HP7 was great, and it would be better if Harry Had died =D
i was gonna make a mix of Hp-Gta 2 years ago, maybe i do it now.
Mwuhahahahaha.

Nightwolf, that's a ....cool idea. ;8
-
Well, most of my books are part of a series, because most of them are manga.
You already KNOW what my favorite series is: Negima!
But, my favorite individual book is: The Things They Carried
-
Manga aren't books.

Manga aren't books.
Yes they are, its a graphic novel.

Graphic Novels aren't books.

They count.

Graphic Novels aren't books.
Oh look, a "separatist". Well two can play at that game. I'll play the role of the "literalist".
"2. a number of sheets of blank or ruled paper bound together for writing, recording business transactions, etc."
Hence the "etc." A text "book" has pictures in it. A picture "book" has pictures in it. A graphic "novel" is a kind of book, because the word "novel" is in it, and a "novel" is a kind of book.
Checkmate.
-
Oh look, a "whiny bitch". Well two can play at that game. I'll play the role of the "winner".
"2. a 16 year old weeaboo who wastes way too much time comparing glorified comic strips to works of literature, etc."
Hence the "etc." Your "ass" has cocks in it. Your mom's "ass" has my cock in it. A graphic "novel" of your life would be so uninteresting because every page would have either a panel of you sitting in front of your computer crying, or a picture of you sitting in front of your computer masturbating.
Checkmate.

Manga are comics, where aren't books.

The term graphic novel was made up to make people who read comics feel more intelligent.
