I loved the lion the witch and the wardrobe, I never thought about it in theological terms, because I was so young when I read it, and I led a blissfully heathen childhood. I have to reread that, and the neverending story too, and all of Hunter S's books. The Great Gatsby is one of those treats I still have to look forward to. I have to visit the library.

I just reread Gerald Durrell's "The Bafut Beagles". He was my favourite author in the world when I was a kid. It's a fantastic book, transports you to the heart of heart of Africa to indulge in whiskey drinking capers with the Bafut tribal dignitaries.

Hunter S. Thompson rocks my socks. He's my favorite author without a doubt.

Right now my favorite is Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I'm in the middle of Songs of the Doomed, and it's excellent

I ordered The Rum Diary a few days ago from Amazon... I'm hoping it will arrive soon. It will prolly become my new favorite and make Fear and Loathing #2.

The best book series in the U.S. is about to be reveiled to those who wish!

The first book is called Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. There are five books in the series and each is a magnificent read! The best in the series (in my opinion) are the first story, Ender's Game , and the last story, Ender's Shadow . The story takes place in the future when the human race is at war with another civilization. Military strategy, deep plots, and terrificly detailed battles are what makes these books so inviting! As for me, I've read the series a number of times and don't plan to stop.

I would suggest this reading to anyone with any interest in military and strategy.

Phewwwww

The King of Torts is awesome. I have read all of Grisham's books and loved everyone. This one I couldn't put down. It deals with the class action suits that are so popular (and controversial) these days against drug manufacturers. It's a big issue in Congress now so it's an entertaining way to educate yourself on current issues.

the bad beginning.

its a childrens/young adult book, so you might think that its not as worth a read as an adult novel (no, not text porn, you sicko), but childrens books are just as good as adult books. very rarely do adult books have the imagination that children books have. YA books have a nice blend of imagination and maturity........ a good example of the imagination in this book was count olafs plan. the way it was qorked was so brilliant and totally blindsiding, it was almost like the scooby gang solving a mystery, only many times more believable.

i went through this book in one sitting, but it was definitely a good sitting.

I just finished The Eaters of the Dead by Michael Crichton. The movie The Thirteenth Warrior was based on it so I thought I would check out the book. It was better than the movie, more detailed and more interesting. But I kept picturing Antonio Banderas in my head lol. That was weird...

right now i'm reading Aztec by the late Gene Jennings. it's just over 1000 pages, which would make it the longest book i've ever read, but i honestly can't put it down. the entire book is this old aztec describing his life to spanish scribes after the brutal massacre of the aztecs by cortez. the book has such good description of everything that is is so easy to picture everything in your mind. you are literally transported back to the land of the aztecs at the height of their power. the visuals are beautiful and it's a shame that they were massacred for the sake of expanding an empire.

i finished fear and loathing a while back and just felt the need to comment. it feels like a drug. there's very few books that give you a literal, almost physical, rush. but this was on of them. when you laugh at the funny bits you get that tingle up your spine like coming up on off-topics or hearing the opening beats to a tune you love, or a perfect break by a dj. pure genius. its also a fable when it comes down to it, and gives you an insight you'll bear with you for life.
