I know it's very Cliché to say but fear and loathing in las vegas is such a masterpiece in both story telling and pseudo-journalism. If their weren't so many drug references and crazy insanity I think it would go down as an American classic on the level with catcher in the rye and the great gatsby.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is one of my all time favorites. Old, but a great read. Takes a little too get used to the writing style.

Have to agree on Fear and Loathing as well. Very fun read indeed. The movie was crap compared to the actual text, IMO.

Have you ever read Recipes for Disaster? Similar, but I think it has more practical stuff...

Hmmm, best book...

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. It's a very good story, got me so hooked I literally could NOT put it down, I read the damn thing in a DAY.

The Time Traveler's Wife was good, never saw the movie, but I really liked the book. The way it was written just made it so much more interesting...

Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, fucking LOVE it. Read all the books several times. Although I'm not sure about the new one, The Law of Nines...I got it, but I haven't really started reading it yet.

Stephen King -- anything related to the Dark Tower series. IT is probably my favorite book of all time.

The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. I really like her philosophy. Which is actually pretty big in Terry Goodkind's books...

Neil Gaimen. Neverwhere, American Gods, Anansi Boys, Stardust...

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series...and omg, I just looked it up and found out a 7th book came out. Now I have to read all the books again and get it...

Recipes for disaster? No but i'll look into it. thanks.:mrgreen:

Tried reading goodkind years ago. His writing style rubs me the wrong way.

Love Gaimans stuff though. Stardust was a great movie, I thought. :):blsmoke:;-):eyesmoke::bigjoint:

I liked the book better, but I liked the movie too :grin:



Oh, since this is a book thread, I think I'll just go ahead and put this out there:

The Twilight Series is the most overhyped bullshit I've ever read in my life. Stephanie Meyer sucks as a writer and I can't believe anyone has the GALL to compare her to J.K. Rowling.

Lullaby, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Game of Thrones, Foundation, too many to name.

EDIT: Just remembered, Snow Crash is my favorite book ever. By just a little, but it wins.
