What do you like read ? Have you a favorite novel or novelist ?
I read essentially fantasy.
I'm fan of Terry Pratchett's novels. It's really so fun to read ! Especially the
Discworld's stories. There's always many good characters ^^
I've read Amber's cycle from Roger Zelazny and it was good too.
So what about you ?
Quote by CeridwenI've read Amber's cycle

yeah that's a fav, though i do prefer the first 5 to the others.
on top of that you can add all tolkien's books, isaac asimov "robots"
work, CJ Cherry "Cyteen" and the cycle of the "gates"
plus "lorenzacio" by Musset, and many more, like milton's poems, right
now i'm reading "thus spake zarathoustra" by nietzche, doesn't seem to
be a bad book neither ^_^
and jules verne's book
etc... etc.... blahblah
i'm a bookophile XP
I like novels by Nora Roberts...she's a romance novelist. Also a little bit
fantasy..she has one trilogy where she writes about witches, and another set of
two books that involves time travel...but mostly she focuses on romance. She's
really good. ^_^
We love the same books Anjhurin ^^
i prefer the first 5 books from Amber too
I've read some CJ Cherry too. It was heroic fantasy, with a warrior girl who
travel in the time with sort of doors. I don't remember the titles of the
trilogy but it was good.
And Lorenzaccio from Musset was very good too ^^ I learned it at school.
I don't know others' novelists sorry. Please give some explanations. Maybe it
gives me the envy to read them ^^

the CJ Cherry books you read were "the well of Ivrel", "the pit
of Shiuan" and the "Fires of Azeroth"..... my father have them in
limited edition. btw i wanna add that she wrote a 4th one which kinda conclude
the saga of the white liyo Anjhurin (thus my name........ snif so glad finally
someone who knows the book that my aka is from *hugs* XP ), and it's called
"the gate of exil" (la porte de l'exil)
you don't know isaac asimov? well he's the guy who wrote the oh so famous 3
rules of the robots : a robot cannot harm a human. a robot must obey to humans,
according with rule 1. a robot must protect his own existence according to rules
1-2 ^_^...... he's really a great writer, who really did made the robot
intelligence thing
if you want something to read that i loved, it's cyteen from CJ cherry : a
science fiction book with robots, politics, and it's pretty awesome. 2 tomes
i've also read a lot of stephen king's book (especially "ca", the
green line, the tommyknockers, etc....)
there's also maleville from robert merle which is a post nuclear war book......
and it's pretty unusual since it's nothing like mad max, but morea return to
agriculture and life without all the modern stuff ^_^
that's it for now, i'll browse my little bookshelves to find more
Hm.. I
like the heroic fantasy stuff, too. David
Gemmell - Legend was great. Then, I also liked his Lion of Macedon duology.
But my favourite author/book would have to be Markus Zusak - the Messenger. A beautiful, poetic read. Totally
down-to-earth in style. I adore his works.

"Mona Lisa Overdrive" by William Gibson. others too.

I read essentially fantasy.
i read a lot of fantasy too, among everything else! i love to read! i like
hickman & weiss's Death's Gate series and the Redwall series by Brian
Jacques. i also love mystery novels by Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle.
by far my favorite novels right now are historical fiction novels, "the
samurai's garden" by Gail Tsukiayama and "Memoirs of a Geisha" by
Arthur Golden.
My favourite book right now is "the last jury" by John Grisham, but I
like to read all kinds of books. I think I actually prefere romance.
Anyone with good romance books?
(But not the kind where the girl fell for the poor guy. I have no idea why taht
is romantic)
lol sadotsu ^^
Yes I know Asimov Anjhurin, I was talking about writters from other posts ^^
And it was these books from CJ Cherry, you're right
I like classics too, EternalParadox. My favorites are always fantastic writters
like Edgar Allan Poe or Theophile Gautier. Some of their stories are really
frightening.
I've read some Christie and Doyle's novels too and it was good
And the Tolkien's books were a revelation for me when I was child ^^
Sole Survivor by Dean Koontz. This THE book if you want intense suspense in your
books.
I also like Dan Brown, good books there with all this history and symbolism.
As a genre, I love sci-fi books, especially the Dune series. Cant wait for the
next book in the Bulterian Jihad series.
I like very much fantasy! My most favorite book is: The wheel of time, of
Robert Jordan!!
It's so great XP ! Actually I don't like read (except manga XP ) but this book,
those books (there are 12 volumes in America and 24 in France..^_^'.) are really
great and funny!!
Very good story and characters! I advice it to you if you like fantasy (the
first book contains only few actions but the following ones are excellent!)

Feist ^_^
I don't read very often, but I really liked "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold, or "White Oleander" by Janet Fitch. (The latter also had a movie.)
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It's a must-read. I swear...holy crap man, that book inspires me.
yeah that's a fav, though i do prefer the first 5 to the others.

I guess I'm more attracted to the older classics than modern fiction, not to say I don't like some contemporary books as well.
But my favorite will have to be David Copperfield by Dickens and Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky. The stories just really appealed to me.
Redemption of Althulus by David Eddings. Possibly the best book ever written in the fantasy genre.
Hm..
I
like the heroic fantasy stuff, too. David
Gemmell - Legend was great. Then, I also liked his Lion of Macedon duology.

There's always the DaVinci Code by Dan Brown w00t!. Lol. That book interesting.
For me, the best novels were the Nights Dawn Trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton
.
It appears everyone I know is reading that book.
heh, lol i luv Terry Pratchett`s Discworld too
but my
favorite is the trilogy "Neuromancer" - "Count Zero" -
"Mona Lisa Overdrive" by William Gibson. others too.

Cryptonomicon, by Neal Stephenson
I like fantasy books... sometimes a little romance wouldn't hurt too.
Too many to list...
My fav novel.... hmm... ive read a few books... the hobit... was one of my favs... really enjoyed that..
lol sadotsu ^^
