I have a lot of favorite books that I can read over and over, do you have any books like that? I ask because I need a couple new books, even though I have a list to buy, it's always good to make that list bigger in my opinion.
A few of my favorite books:
Cabinet of Curiosities - Douglas Preston/ Lincoln Child
The Book of The Dead - Douglas Preston/ Lincoln Child
The Temple Dogs - Molly Cochran/ Warren Murphy
By the Light of the Moon - Dean Koontz
-
Salems Lot by King The Gunslinger, also by King, its the first in the Dark Tower series. After youve read that one you will probably be buisy for a while finding and reading all the rest of the series, theyre prety awsome
-
Actually my dad has the whole series, I could never get into many of Kings books. I don't really know why.
-
I think I would like your Dad :-D Try this one, Crimson by Gord Rollo, it hooked me faster than any book ever has. Just read the prelude, before you even take it home. It will only take a couple minutes.
-
The Wheel of time series has been my best friend since last year haha
-
I read a lot of books
I really liked Anne Rice's books
Lol I read all the Harry Potter books and Lord of the Rings <.<
My favorite books with vampires in it are the Anne Rice's but second favorite is The House of Night books.
-
Mmmm, Anne Rice :) she was so damn awesome and then the catholicism sickness got to her.... such a shame.... :cry: I really enjoyed the Witching Hour series.
Poppy Z. Brite is beautifully sick, gotta appreciate her description of gay gore especially :-fly)
If poetry counts too, Baudelaire and his Flowers of Evil are my fav, gotta love his passion for carcasses XD
-
Favorite series, hands down is the Dresden files by Jim butcher.
Love the Harry potter series for getting me into fantasy.
Other big names are H.P Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard- Conan the Barbarian. Larry Correia- Monster hunter series.
-
Poppy Z. Brite is wonderful. I haven't read her new, non-horror books, bout i bet they're good too.
One of my favorites is Bulgakov's Master and Margarita. I recommend this to everyone.
-
I'm with you on The Dresden Files and H.P. Lovecraft's works david.
-
The Harry Potters got me started on fantasy to.
I would recommend the Alchemyst. Its the first in the Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott.
Can anyone tell me where I can find H.P. Lovecraft books?
-
@ Wolfman-Finding original H.P lovecraft books is a bit difficult, but some libraries & Bookstores have them. Spin-offs are more common though.
@ ViciouslyMe- Nice-you have any favorites from Dresden files?
Personally I like Bob, Kincaid, and Marcone...
And Harry, of course :-P . Gotta love a guy who quotes monty python when faced with (near) certain death at the hands of a fallen angel.
-
Those plus Thomas and the pizza-bribed pixies, forget the name of the main one.
-
Ahh..the ultimate pretty boy...not that I'd tell him to his face.
And I think it's toot-toot. Just got done reading changes-again, so it's pretty fresh in my mind.
Just finished reading Ghost Story. AWESOME!!!

Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
Bitten by Kelly Armstrong
Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause
Most things by Christine Feehan.
Then Harry Potter.
Stephen King.

two of the best books i ever read (and the scariest) were Haunted by Chuck Palahnick and Hell House by Richard Matheson. both books kept me up all night! they were entertaining and terrifying
-
Anything by C.S. Friedman
She's most famous for her Coldfire Trilogy, but I enjoy the book I've read from her Magister series ( trilogy? )
Inferno by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
( I Had a topic about that... and 1984 by George Orwell)
Uhm, Kim Harrison's Hollows series, particularly the first two out of it: Dead Witch Walking, and The Good the Bad and the Undead
Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series... particularly Obsidian Butterfly
Let's see, Book of the Dead by John Tiggs
and a couple from when I was younger:
The Hounds of the Morrigan by Pat O'Shea ( You should read that one Azzy, right up your alley )
Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising series.
I'm sure there's more...
tons more...
-
oooooh man! obsidian butterfly is the beeeeest booook! i love that book and i completly forgot about it, and ow that your saying this i have to reread it!
-
hehe, there are a couple of her books that come close... but until I read another book like that one, It's what I compare the rest to.
-
Every one has them and some are good to recommend, mine would be.
Seriously the bible, no matter how you view it there's some good stories with nice symbolism if you're into that.
Neil Gaimen's American Gods, one that was well recommended and the last book I actually sat and read.
It's not a book but Young Goodman Brown by Nathanial Hawthorne was awesome and from that point it goes more into authors.
The Dragons of Pern by Anne McCaffery
Clive Barker
Piers Anthony
Tanith Lee
And I've been working on finishing The Source by James Michener, mad it up to where El became El Elohim. ;) It has some good theories so far.
