I'm reading an epic poem right now called Beowulf. It was composed in the 8th century A.D. by an unknown author. Basically, it's your average heroic tale about a warrior saving a kingdom from a/some monster(s).

I had to read that for school a few years ago...

 

 

 

Anwyas, I currently am reading the last installment in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

 

 

 

As to what all I've read that would be too many to list, I will just leave it to the ones I can remember from this past year...

 

 

 

The Lord of the Rings

 

Lord Foulgrins Letters

 

The ishbane Conspiracy

 

An old fashioned girl (again! lol)

 

Chinese Cinderella

 

Fallen Leaves

 

The Diary of Anne Frank

 

A walk to remember

 

Mandie (college days)

 

 

 

and alot more, I just can't remember all the names...

 

Although I really haven't had alot of time for reading this past year...my reading has declined it seems...

I would highly recommend "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky to anyone who has not read it. It is a truly inspiring book, and one that is certainly reflective on high school. 10/10

 

 

 

If you're more into fantasy, check out the books about Malus Darkblade, by Dan Abnett and Mike Lee(8/10), or possibly the Dhampir series by Barb and J.C. Hendee(8/10). Pretty much anything by R.A. Salvatore is good, especially the books about Drizzt Do'Urden(9/10).

 

 

 

If you like your fantasy with a modern twist, I've heard Anne Rice was good but have yet to pick any of her books up. Alan F. Troop, however, writes amazing books about dragons in a modern setting. 9.5/10

 

 

 

If you like science fiction, I have little to offer, as I'm not a big fan of it. I have read one absolutely beautiful book called "Armor" by John Steakley. 10/10

 

 

 

Song of Fire by Joseph Bentz <3. Read it from the library in the seventh grade, and it took me 7 years to find a copy for myself afterward. If you can find this book, read it. 10/10 (Please note, this book is christian-related, but not so heavily that it would offend anyone of other religions.)

 

 

 

These are my favorites in the genres I've sampled, which accounts for the high scores, since I chose only my favorites to list.

How long until somebody admits he has read Harry Potter?
I've read them and I don't see a problem with it.

 

Me neither. But the people who have posted here seem to have. :wink:

Welp, right now I'm in the midst of re-reading the Harry Potter series. (Kinda bored and read all the books in my house) Here's a shortened version of the books I have read.

 

 

 

Kushiel's series (except the last one) by Jacqueline Carey (recommend for the more mature tip.it'ers)

 

Lots of Stephen King (highly recommend Eyes of the Dragon

Not much of a reading book, but I just got "Masters of Deception - Escher, Dali and the Artists of Optical Illusion", a book on optical illusion in fine art through the ages, by Al Seckel.

 

 

 

It is absolutely fascinating, and great value for money at only ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã11 or so.
