The Wolf of Wall Street. He really knows how to handle people. When I was younger I always wanted to become as successful as he did. The 80s truly were a magnificent decade to be alive in!

I don't even know how many times I've read "I Am Legend". Seriously, the ending is just so profound. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet. If you've seen the movie, you should still read it. The movie and the book are about as different as things get.

Animal Farm is an old favorite of mine. also always liked Shade's Children. Ender's Game.

I think Animal Farm will be the next book I read - I hope it's as good as you think it is.

Anyway, did you get to read Orwell's preface to the book? That is, the one that deals with British voluntary self-censorship, that then got censured, adequately enough? Smiley

For me in the past years was opening the craft of Carlitos.



I still don't complete reading of all books, but what I have done - is awesome.

Book - Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
I loved this book since I was first given it. Amongst a collection of sci-fi books that I'd been given as a Christmas present this one book stood out the most. The cover was brighter than the rest, so it was to first I picked up to scan through, the blurb made it sound exciting and I sat down to read it and found that I couldn't put it down. I loved the characters, the two storylines of Ender in training and his brother and sister playing politics. It was creepy in places, the game that he played and fascinating how different people manipulated situations to their benefit. I enjoyed the sequels too, but they never came close to the first book.

Author - Garth Nix
As an author that I have enjoyed most of their writing it has been Garth Nix. I again totally judged a book by its cover and picked up Sabriel without even reading the back because Waterstones were offering it 3 for 2 and I needed a third book. I didn't regret the choice. I loved reading Sabriel and bought Lirael and Abhorsen as soon as the were released. I loved the Keys to the Kingdom series, the end of Mister Monday was so freaky that I actually slammed the book shut on the train in fear before getting up the strength to continue reading the last few pages. Of all of them Shade's Children is my favourite, aimed at an older audience than the books he has written before it's a book that I would recommend to anyone that likes Young Adult fiction with a dystopian sci-fi theme.

I see you're more visually driven, and don't care that much for the story telling type of books. Cheesy

My favorite books are probably those from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (apart from the sixth book) - great story, beautifully put, and quite imaginative throughout.

I'm not really such a books-person, to be honest! I rather watch some good movies or party at the club! But you know, back in school this 'Watership Down' book somehow got to me... I mean, man, those rabbits have the same feelings as people do? Are they really that complex??? Hard stuff for children, man!

I like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It's an incredible book. It's about chasing a time that's already gone and looking for something you don't even know exists. Also, you don't know which parts have really happened, and which are purely fictional. Really an incredible book!

i'm a big Ray Bradbury fan. Fahrenheit 451 for the win!!

Didn't he want to call that differently. 451 is the temperature when books begin to catch fire! But I don't want to spoiler anyone how this may or may not have to do with the story of the book!
