Thought I would post some of my favorite books (for reading enjoyment - not learning)

Fantasy/Sic-fi:

David Gemmel: Any book by this author is a winner, however my personal favorites are the Drennai Series (Legend is the first book) and Knights of Dark Reknown, also the Sipstrassi Series with Jon Shannow.

Orson Scott Card: The Alvin Maker Series, and Enders Game Trilogy.

Steve Perry: Matadora Series (The Man who never missed).
William Gibson: Virtual Light, Neuromancer, Idoru, etc.

I think its obvious to say that Lord of The Rings is also included. :)

Ok, well...here's...mine

J.R.R Tolkien: LOTR, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil

done ;P

I havent read the adventures of Tom Bombadil, I wonder If I can get it at the local Chapters. :)

I doubt you'll find it. It's rare, I've seen copied go for $1500 online. It's only a 70 page book too! Anyways, I picked one up in decent condition on eBay for $20.

You can also find it online, some sites have the whole book typed out! :)

Cool, thanks. :)

I may get shunned for this but I like Stephen King, most notably and I think his strongest work was the Gunslinger (Dark Tower) trilogy.

Mine:

Lord of the Rings + The Silmarillion + Unfinished Tales

Haven't read the adventures of Tom either, I will, when I find it :)

oh and I liked the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, wacky as it is :D

Yeah, haven't finished with HHGTTG, heard the audio books though.

I like anything that's currently sitting on the back of the toilet.

Damn, I don't know how people can read while they're on the toilet! That's so nasty!

I can't understand how people can go to the toilet without something to read :D

I like a lot of 18th and 19th century navalwarfare novels...mostly Alexander Kent books and deffinatley C.S. Forrester's series.

I used to read some sci-fi which I think is great also.

Zibi, that's actually a very interesting pic, are those types of books hard to find? What section in a bookstore would those be found under (naval warfare books) history, fiction?

I usually get most of my books from used bookstores. Some stores will actually have a naval warfare section, but some large stores such as Chapters (canadian bookstore) list them all under action or whatever and you have to go and look by author.

I think I was actually pretty lucky there cause my dad read some of those books as a kid and therefore knew what to look for...its actually weird. They're there, but its hard to find them unless you know where to look.

Thanks! We have a Chapters here in town, so I will go take a gander. :)

Em, mine would have to be
LOTR: Tolkien
The Hobbit: Tolkien
Rainbow Six: Tom Clancy
Time To Kill: Grisham
Lord Of The Flies: William Golding

np :)
