Icingdeath Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Icewind Dale by R.A. Salvatore Because Drizzt Do'Urden is l33t. I really wouldn't call it an era. It was more of a definitive time period during which dinstinctive characteristics were expressed in similar ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loth Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 The Da Vinci Code. Yeah I know it's so mainstream, but I got it before the hype. My granddad has a relative who got it on the release day or something like that. Since then I've read it 8 times. Seen the movie twice. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPurpleCrayon Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Favorite Book: Ender's Game Why? It puts me in a different world, one that I want to be in.

Ive been trying to find that book for ages... Had no luck so far though... :( The Enrichment Center reminds you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact, cannot speak.

speedofsound Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 the davinci code, the world of quantem physics(yeah so?), angles and demons, the cirque due freak series, harry potter series, the last book in the universe You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

It depends on my mood I guess. I love Ender's Game but currently I'd have to say "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" by Toby Young is my favorite. It absolutely cracks me up...

Make7upu101 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Not sure about a favorite but a few of the best ones I can remember off the top of my head- Watchmen- (I know it's a graphic novel and maybe i'm a little biased since I just finished it a little while ago) The Alchemist- (weirdly enough I'm not a religous person but I read this book in class last year and loved it) Harry Potter Series- If I had to pick probably the Half-Blood Prince. A little off topic but I've read every single Animorphs and Everworld book except the Ellimist (I can't find it). Does The Crucible count? It's a play that I just thought was awsome.
