Bryan Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Well, I don't really have a specific type, but my favorite books are: A Confederacy of Dunces (Toole) , The Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas), The Man in the Iron Mask (Dumas), Survivor (Palahniuk), Fight Club (Palahniuk), V for Vendetta (Moore), Watchmen (Moore). I guess all fiction books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzie Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Fiction is by far my favorite but Non-Fiction can be really interesting as well. I hate Fantasy & History, unless it's about the Holocaust or another semi exciting event in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passion Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Well, I don't really have a specific type, but my favorite books are: A Confederacy of Dunces (Toole) , The Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas), The Man in the Iron Mask (Dumas), Survivor (Palahniuk), Fight Club (Palahniuk), V for Vendetta (Moore), Watchmen (Moore). I guess all fiction books. Great choice, I love that book. I'd have to say my favorite genres are crime, non-fiction, and realistic fiction. My favorite books are In Cold Blood (Capote), The Catcher In The Rye (Sallinger), and The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I really enjoy sports books, but also have read many history books. I tend to stick with non-fiction stuff as I grow older, but some of my favorites are fiction. My favorite books are Moneyball (really brought me into being a big baseball fan), Jurassic Park and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

EndLine Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I mainly stick to the Book-Movie theme. Currently I'm reading A Clockwork Orange (Burgess) and I read Puzo's Godfather which made me love the characters even more. I also purchased Bad Twin by Gary Troup (a Lost novel) which I will start reading soon. The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorie book by far.

Fish Tank Frenzy Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Why is Fiction or Non Fiction together? My favortie books are Non Fiction books. I love history books, sports books or biographies. Army vs Navy by John Feinstein is a great book. Its about the Army/Navy football rivalry. Growing up The Catcher in the Rye was my favortie book. I also enjoy Ernest Hemingway novels.

MarlinFan10 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ever book there is fits into fiction or non fiction so I'd have to go with that one. Otherwise, i really don't care about the genre as long as the book is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Currently reading Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, the entire Hitchhiker's Guide the Galaxy series (veryyyy slowly), amongst Claremont's X-Men run, Batman "Hush" and Grant Morrison's "The Invisibles." I read more comics than anything, but that's what I enjoy. For anyone who digs Pahlaniuk, or Fight Club, I'd recommend, STRONGLY, his memoir/travel guide to Portland, Oregon entitled, "Stranger and Fugitives." In it he tells how he came up with various ideas for books, etc. and just gives a HELLACIOUS account of his hometown and the weird sh*t you can get inolved in. A book has to really hook me for me to actually finish it, lately. As soon as I finish Sagan's book I'm going to possibly check out Da Vinci code.

Lefty Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Fantasy and sci-fi stuff. But I really read just about anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 I really enjoy reading historical books. I'm currently reading 1776 by David McCullough, and it's great. Some of my favorites are "A Land Remembered" by Patrick D. Smith, "No End Save Victory" edited by Robert Cowley, and of course "The Catcher in the Rye," the Tolkien books, and a book called "Blue Like Jazz" by Donald Miller which dramatically transformed my faith. I heartily recommend all these books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
