Title: Literature
Post by: Loupgaros on May 21, 2007, 11:18:20
I haven't read much apart from biblical commentaries of late but I have the entire Redwall collection thus far, Discworld and a few Werewolf the Apocalypse books as well (from when they were sold in my university town of Bangor). But I'm currently reading Sokora Refugees, a neat manga about elves and a cute-as-hell raccoon neko. Sadsly essay encroaxches so my reading is limited..... Stupid essays.

Myself, I've read the complete Redwall (a good few years ago though), Swallows and Amazons (also quite a while ago) and the ongoing Discworld series, including all three "Science of the Discworld" books.  I have also read The Cleric Quintet and the Icewind Dale Trilogy from the Wizards of the Coast series "Forbidden Realms".

I want to get the Science of the Discworld books. They are good reads. And Nanny Ogg's Cookbook. Nanny Ogg had to be one of my fave characters.

Redwall and Discworld rank highly but I also enjoy my Doctor Who books. I'm gonna get the audio books of Torchwood soon as well, and expand my Redwall collection.

I read a lot actually, some good books that I have read lately are: Dumcton wood (Moles) Watership down (Rabbits) The Sight (Wolves), Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" and the mangas: DearS, Battle Vixens and Pita Ten, I'm currently reading VonVan Hunter. Oh and of course any SOnic the comic or Mobius 25 years later I can get my paws on ^_~

Watership Down is odd. But very bloody in the film version of the 70s.... I liked that. ^.^ Not childsafe, just the way I like it.

Im more fantasy book based, i have the Nightworld collection apart from 3 which i cant get  hold of :S.
I have all the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness books that are out so far.

I also read more mature books like,  'I, Lucifer', Tommy's Tale  and I have the whole Hannibal Lecter seriese :D which are a great read ^-^. Child called it, and other books about child abuse which are hard to read but good. 

I'll pretty much read anything that isnt, manga, star wars and romeo n juleit *blarg*

It was a rude gesture at the time. You didn't bit your thumb, more clacked it to your teeth. Like a snarl in effect.

I have read every single Pratchett novel, I am a huge HUGE fan. I also read Anne McCafferey, Harry Potter (sorry it had to be done, I hate myself for it I really do). Right now I am looking at buying the His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman. I need to get round to Redwall one day.

I wonder if anyone here has read anything by Robert A. Heinlein?

I read the first three Redwall books, and a few Discworlds.  Fantasy is what I like best, especially Mercedes Lackey and Chris Wooding... although right now I'm working my way through a pile of Star Trek books I got secondhand.  =^_^=  (There goes MY street cred, right there.)

If I read anything, I prefer Sci-Fi over all other genres. Science Fiction is SO diverse it allows all manner of ideas to be incorporated.

I'm in the process of reading the three Lord of the Rings books. Half way through the first one at the moment and i must admit, its very good and fills in so many blanks from the movie.
