I never saw or read The Notebook. It never really interested me, but I, like I've said before(I think), am more of a sci-fi/fantasy person.

its all good.  i only read and watched it because i relate in certain ways to it.

you all have to read East of Eden

Whats it about? What genre is it in?

its about two families.  one east coast and one west coast.  its pretty weird.  but it tells a disturbing story.  you wont be able to put it down.  That is, assuming, this is the type of thing you like to read.  If you're into science fiction- you should read those video games books.  like resident evil.  couldn't really put that one down believe it or not lolol.  But... east of eden doesn't do the title justice

I'll be sure to check it out when I get done with the one I'm reading at the moment.

I can't pick a single favorite book, but I can pick a "quadrilogy".

James Ellroy's "LA Quadrilogy" -- The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, L.A. Confidential and White Jazz.  Of the four, White Jazz is my favorite.  Very clipped, terse and gripping, more violent than the others but just as complex and serpentine.  Anyone who's not read these books is missing out on some of the best crime stories out there, better (in my opinion) than anything Chandler ever did.

Stephen King's "IT" and "Desperation" - I have to re-read both of these again soon.

Quoted from Andy Petrou Stephen King's "IT" and "Desperation" - I have to re-read both of these again soon.

I'm getting ready to read "Cell" by Steven King. It'll be my first King book I've ever read.

Us!

us?

England won the bloomin ashes.

My two favorite novels are "American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis and "The Toy Collector" by James Gunn.  Both are very similar in style and tone.  My two favorite graphic novels are "Batman: Long Halloween" by Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale and "Teenagers From Mars" by Rick Spears & Rob G.  "Long Halloween" is where "Batman Begins" got much of its plot and characters and "Teenagers From Mars" is, I believe, my un-official autobiography... I'm pretty sure Rick Spears has probably been following me around since I was 16 with a notepad and pen.

I would have to say Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. The best fairy tale turned novella I've ever read and that includes Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Jonathan Stroud, Salvatore, and Ray Bradbury.

I'm fond of the Chronicles of Thomas Convenant by Stephen Donaldson as well as Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien. I know LOTR got a lot of instant "fans" but we'll see who hangs on through the long haul. I've also enjoyed the Left Behind series as well as a wealth of Stephen King and Dean Koontz.
