I started to read some of Orwell's stuff. Pretty cool.

timushi :vsign:

The Bible's an awsome book. It reveals almost the entire history of the Israeli nation (including a small amount of history 2,000 years before) and contains beautiful poetry, incredibly epic wars (:)), love stories, countless prophecies coming true, astounding miracles (whether you believe them or not), and many other interesting things. It's a very philosophical book and has a great deal of depth in many areas. It contains the works of 40 authors and, including the New Testament, it is the soul foundation of two main religions in the world.

If you've never read a book, you shouldn't criticize it. I'm reading through it right now and it's definatley one of my favorites.

Naoko 02-15-2009 01:08 AM

This may sound terrible...but I don't pay much attention to the authors when I read books. Then again, I tend to read them over the course of a day or two...three at the longest. I'd probably recognize their names if I see another book by them elsewhere, but that's about it. :/

HikaruTwin 02-15-2009 02:34 AM

Mine would probably be Banana Yoshimoto.
But I don't usually read all the books from one author.
Unless it's manga, but whatever.

no worries dear, Timushi and I have read the bible; we had to, we were raised on it, which is prob why we dont talk much about it; i cant speak for him, but i know that after reading the same book over and over again, i got kinda, well, not bored, but, you know, its too predictable then...idk

im glad you enjoy it though, not many people understand the impotance of reading such things, even if it is just for fun

musashi 02-17-2009 08:19 AM

I was a stupid FAN GIRL(for twilight). >.<"""""" I can't believe I went too far, Now I am ashamed of myself. I don't ever want to touch those books again.

SaintKat 04-27-2009 08:02 PM

Ah, I don't have a favourite. On average I read around two manga series a week as well as 4-5 books. I need books like others need air, so the authors are constantly changing.

Latest novels to leave a mark on me were A Free Life by Ha Jin and Johnny Mad Dog by Emmanuel Dongala/Mary Louise Ascher.

Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl two of the baddest mo-fo authors !!

ColorblindGirl 04-30-2009 08:13 AM

Banana Yoshimoto is great, I think. I read "kitchen" a lot and also all other books, which where translated into german.
Then I like Mianmian and I liked the books of Stephenie Meyer, too.
And: Oliver Uschmann. His books are so funny! :D
