Historical books, it depends on who they were about

RE: Books - GoDjMike - 03-21-2012
I don't read too many books, but 'The Hobbit' is the best book in the LOTR series, if you haven't already read it.

Read your school text books, it would do you some good.
RE: Books - sieve - 03-21-2012
Steppenwolf
By: Herman Hesse
Genre: What can change the nature of a man?
I'm not usually sincere, but holy shit you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you don't read this book.
I have no mouth and I must scream
By Harlan Ellison
Short story that's probably the most fucked up thing I've ever read. Like I was physically ill after finishing it. Later got made into an adventure game that fleshes out a lot of the story but loses some of the directness
Anything by George Orwell
Anything by Ray Bradbury

The Hunger games (series)
By: Suzanne Collins
Genre: Science Fiction (Mostly)

For some reason I have the sudden urge to read that.

Hmm, Steppenwolf sounds interesting, i'll give it a go, how long is it?
And the I have no mouth story sounds weird, but now I want to read it, but by what you said, I am a bit nervous. I would have to check out Steppenwolf first

That's the ENTIRE book...
RE: Books - darkxephos - 03-21-2012
The Fire Within, Icefire, Fire Star, The Fire Eternal, Dark Fire, Fire World. In that order. They are bloody brilliant and It's one of few sets that I own all of, and they have got to be some of the best things I've ever spent money on. I've read all of them over 4-5 times.
P.S
Also, the next in the series is out April 5th, The Fire Ascending.
