Wheel of Time series because the world and characters are so developed that it doesnt need a theme because its just another world and ours doesnt have a theme so why should that one?

Stephen king!! Especially when he wrote as richard bachman. My total faves are the running man because i feel like, the world is turning into that sadly, too many reality shows etc. , exploitation. Also “the long walk”. & Thinner, i love those books.
I’m kinda obsessed with stephen king and i love almost all of his books except a few.
I love reading lobsang rampa as well. The dimension theories. Anddd Mein Kampf.
yes i love reading.

Jeez, 32 views and only 4 answers. I think this says something about how little people read.

Gosh! This is impossible. I read so many different types of books I don’t know if I can name a favorite. I enjoy the classics. Though complex, they are so beautifully written. I love the Bronte sisters and also Jane Austin. Which is odd, because I hate current romance novels. Ugh! I suppose I like Austin’s work b/c most of her books deal with other issues besides, “is this girl going to get with this guy and at what point/how frequently are they gonna sleep together.” My favorite by Jane Austin is “Pride and Prejudice”. I like something that will challenge me in one way or another, and I never read the same type of book twice in a row. I guess I don’t have a favorite book, I just enjoy reading. :)

Good omens by terry prattchett and Neil gaimen (however you spell that) is one of my favourites. Most discworld books actually. Stephen fry - making history is bizarre but good.

You read just like me! I think I have every Pratchett book but there are so many it’s hard to tell since there are so many.

If you are interested in Terry Pratchett, I recommend listening to his fascinating lecture “Shaking Hands with Death”.

Here is a link to it on youtube. There are 6 parts in total I think…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUE3pB…

It is very thought-provoking and gives a fascinating insight into his philosphy on life and death.
