I love to read books based on true stories.
For example:
It Happened to Nancy
Annie's Baby
Go Ask Alice
A Boy Called It
etc...
I also enjoy reading magazines, like:
Seventeen
Cosmo Girl
Rolling Stone
Cosmopolitan
Us Weekly
etc...
what do you like to read?
we're running, running, keep pulling my hand, so we don't get seperated . . .
I like to read manga, magzines like shonen jump, and books like the Wish List/Magic or Madness.
I love reading books; any genre as long as the story is good!
Example:
Battle Royale
The Deer and The Cauldron
Heh, Magazines I only read car/ racing related materials:
Drift Battle
High Performance Imports
Newtype Live
oh i didnt know they had car magazines ^_^ thats really cool!

I don't read magazines...dunno why. Not quite my idea of proper literature.
Prefer to read faction - fiction and fact in a historical setting. Favorite authors include Steven Pressfield (Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic Greece), Valerio Massimo Manfredi (Greek and Roman), Simon Scarrow (Roman legions), Bernard Cromwell (Warlord and Alfred trilogies) and Lindsy Davis (Roman whodunnits). I'm not that big a fan of Science Fiction. A good Fantasy is nice, but I haven't found that many authers yet. Can only recommend Terry Pratchett (best known for the Discworld).
Will read manga when I have it. Akira, Appleseed, Basilisk, Berserk, Hellsing, Gunm (Battle Angel Alita) and Ghost in the Shell is quite recommendable.
Then of course my work dictates that I read historiographers, my fav of which are Herodotus, Thucydides, Polybius and Livius. Give 'em a try.
Life is a game played by gods who are bored and who fight over the rules.
well I used to buy magazines just to see the pics hehe
I like more to read books
my favorite authors are Isabel Allende, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Stephen King, Tolkien, and other
bunch hehe
and also like to read manga of course ^.^
This day we fight!
wow, you really like historical books joemighty16...thats really awesome. you know how to use your time wisely and gain knowledge ^_^ very impressive.
i havent read a manga in a long time, so i might start to this summer.
we're running, running, keep pulling my hand, so we don't get seperated . . .
Lol.. Oh, btw, just to clear a little thing up, Newtype Live is a Japanese magazine for live action stuff,
example; Kamen Rider, Japanese Power Rangers and etc. =3 (I only read it for Kamen Rider.)
It's not a car magazine, lol. My mistake.
oh yeah, i looked it up and i was like, hey cool an anime magazine :D hehehehe i want to subscribe to it....but i wanted to ask a few people what they recommend....
we're running, running, keep pulling my hand, so we don't get seperated . . .
Newtype is really good.. they actually make english copies so you'll understand. Just like any other anime mag, it has the latest news, reviews, tech stuff, merchandises and etc.
There are other anime magazines.. so far they're only in Japanese. You can find them at your local Kinokuniya.
(Going there this weekend to stock up!)

Yes, well.... ^_^' I kinda have a specialized taste in most things. Anyway, there are still a few books waiting for me to be read - haven't really gotten around to it yet :x But thanx anyway!

yeah, that's great joemighty16, i wish i had that kind of taste lol....but since im a girl who loves girly things and novels, i dont really pay attention to the other stuff....but i remember when i was a kid i used to read the encyclopedia. i thought it was awesome...but as i got older, people started teasing me about it... :(

Wow! To have read the encyclopedia... that's much more than I can say - I only paged through the articles looking at the pictures. It was in early high school when I actually started to read novels, so I got a bit of a late start. When I discovered an author I latched on to him or her and polished of all their works. Hence I'm a bit conservative in my taste. I should probably broaden out..... :nerd: XD
But you should never feel self-conscious about what you read - even if people tease you about it. Is it wrong to have a broader general knowledge than others? To be more literate. You don't have to be a bookworm, but even then it will do you more good than bad. Rather an hour of reading than 4 hours of television... o_0 ;)

*blushes* yes i thought reading it was really fun and interesting. i remember that i used to have so much knowledge on
it. i also new a lot about animals. i knew all kinds of breeds of birds, reptiles, mammals, etc. i knew what their
behavior was and their lifestyle, what they eat, etc. i was proud of it too. but i didnt want people to start making fun
of me so i stopped, and now that im older i regret stopping. but you are right about the tv. a lot of kids nowadays are
super obese.

Well I love Goth literature ^_^'
Like Edgar Allan Poe, Anne Rice (I'm reading her Vampire Chronicles) and a lot of Spanish Literature...
This summer I'm going to by "The Perfume" cause I want to see the movie after I read the book and
I'm planing on reading the Hannibal books XD
I like an assortment of reading materials. Horror novels, mangas, comic books, poetry, some magazines(usually anime related).
My favorite novels are the Necroscope series by Brian Lumley. There's 13 books all together, full novels, not pictures to look at. But well worth the time to read.
I like to disturb the harmony of the pond by throwing a handful of pebbles in all at once. ~ Me
There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily. So do dreams and hearts. ~ Neil Gaiman
Just recently, I rediscovered Sci-Fi novels. For those of you have an interest in Sci-fi, I highly recomend the Faded Sun trilogy. I read it through in a matter of days it was so good. Quite some time ago I was in to D&D fiction, like Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms, and before that (think pre-teen) it was the Redwall books and The Dark Is Rising. Oh, and who can forget The Wheel of Time! Still working on Crossroads of Twilight...

common human life.
um,fantasies.
books:
to kill a mocking bird

I reat a bit of everything. I'm not very keen on this new trend of historic novel, following the fame of The Davinci Code; and I don't like poetry either.
Right now I'm reading Genji Monogatari.
orson scott card
ie ender's game
Does anybody recommend me to read any books?
a lot of the ones you have mentioned look very interesting.

You can never be too proud of too much knowledge - people tend to become intimidated if you know than they do. But that's no reason to stop gathering info. Because with all honesty, knowledge does equal, power - You''l be amazed at the amount of respect you'll get - ever thought you'll be able to intimidate university professors? I have - quite by accident, but while they specialised in their own fields, I could bombard them ith other types of info - was quite fun :)
