Guest Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Title Says it all. Tell me the best book you've ever Read and a little bit about them. For me its two. I like them both the best. The First book is called "Bravo Two Zero" written by Andy McNab which is a famous true story of an SAS Patrol behind enemy lines in the First Gulf War in Iraq, where their position got compromised after a couple of days and had to try and escape to the Syrian Border. In the end Four Men were captured (one being the leader Andy McNab), three died and one of them escaped. I was on the edge of my seat reading it the whole way through and loved it! :D The 2nd is a fictional series of 21 small books divided into 2 large series books. There's more out there I just haven't been able to locate the other books as their in a different language originally and got translated over (and I've only been able to find the English translation of books 1-21). The series of books are called "Rolf Torring's Adventures" by Hans Warren Holm and were gripping from start to finish. I had never read so many pages so fast in my life before this book. :lol: {Oh and If anyone can give me the whereabouts of where I can get books 22 and onwards I would be eternally grateful} :) :wink: The books pretty much are set in South East Asia and up into the jungles of Asia and pretty much get up to a ton of adventures. So there's mine. Tell me your favorite book of all time. And a little bit about it. :) And please, no one reply saying that they don't read books or anything like that. I really don't care. :wink: ~~Eelspremiers~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabola Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I don't read books. ... Not regularly, anyway. The best ones I have read have generally been when I've been on holiday. My favourites are The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams, and The Devil's Dictionary by Ambrose Bierce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

issy2 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Honestly, The Lord of the Rings books. I love them :XD: Same here. I can't stand them lol. :P Anyway. Darkling Plain by Philip Reeve - I think I was crying as I read this, and I rarely get emotionally involved in stories. It's frustrating sad but a great read. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzsaw Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 In all honesty, i hate reading books. Even though I had to read books in school :( But the only set of books iv read outside of school is the Harry Potter series, which i quite enjoy.

trapical Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Gah, hard to narrow it down. I'll say two from vastly different genres. Douglas Adams - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. So random, so classic Tom Clancy - Red Storm Rising. It's a 700 page long nonstop description of how WW3 would act (in 1985) if no one used nukes. It reads like a giant Command and Conquer level but when you read it you need a map of Europe in one hand and a computer with Wikipedia near by so you can look up all the different tanks/jets/Russian ships. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinslayer777 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 The wheel of time series (Robert Jordan) 1984 (George Orwell) To Kill a Mockingbird Enders game (Don't read his other books though #-o) Umm... With fire and Sword The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins Emperors -(something) by Zacharis Timothy, or maybe it was Timothy Zacharis (best star wars trilogy) Hmm.. I'm trying to think of some good books I really should get back to reading, haven't read a good book in two months. Les Miserables maybe? (Victor Hugo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I can't stand them lol. :P Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone. But I got hooked on when I got the feeling of how vast the Middle Earth is or how rich the history Tolkien made it to be. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the Middle Earth series by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell. It's almost childish, but it's so much fun to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy500fan Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I couldn't pick the best book I ever read, because I have read a lot of good books :P . I can however pick my favourite, which is Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. If you really want to know more than just my favourite, you could check out one of the many other book topics that have been done in the past.
