Default Favorite Book(s)

Well, this is a writer's guild, after all. And at the epitome of every great Writing message board is the traditional "favorite book" thread. Here is a list of my favorite books I have ever read. They arent in order of preference, except for the first one, which is my favorite.

1. Ender's Game (and the rest of the series)
2. Harry Potter series
3. Chronicles of Narnia
4. Redwall series
5. Animorphs
6. Dracula

How about that.
That is just your personal opinion.
The epitome of every great Writing message board is the traditional favorite book thread is where it's at.Are you giving
list of his or her favorite books he or she have ever read
to me?What is your credit card number?Are you free?
Who are you talking about?
Can we get back to business?
My brain contains 43347 categories, but not one that matches your last input.
Try to determine if this is a person or a computer responding.

A few books come to mind though I must've read a million:

1. Timeline by Micheal Chricton. Really good book for those who like Sci-Fi and medieval stuff. I was enthralled.
2. Shogun - James Clavell. I love James Clavell. Awesome book.
3. Redwall series.. I read this when I was younger. Very good books.

And then of course, who didn't read Goosebumps? Heh.

I know not all mentioned were great, that's why I said 'some' . I guess you're still learning


(Don't worry, we still love you CamFuBot!)

As to your question, both... Although I do spend more time watchin TV than reading books.

Not too long ago, I saw the Count of Monte Cristo movie.


All I can say...

What a piece of ****. Read the book, don't watch the movie!
