Ok, I retract Harry Potter and Narnia from my list.
I don't like having common ground with those who like to beat women.

Petty, I know. Deal with it.

Well I don't have 5 favorties... but a really good book that I love is called The Old Man and the Sea. It is a really interesting sroty about an old man and a boy who love to fish and how one day the Old Man risks his life fishing and catched the biggest fish yet known to man. Kitsune, you should read it. I'm sure you would love it.

Discworld series was great. (Man I haven't read). Last book I read in that series was the Colour of Magic (my dad doesn't have the complete collection and I read the set at random)

I wanna read Fight Club (Also reminds me I want to read a Clockwork Orange, I stopped watching the movie at the second rape scene), I saw the movie but heard the book was better.

Death Gate Cycle was another good series. I haven't read that many books though as book cost money while movies tend to be free. So ya, no list as of now, not until I've gotten older/read more

What I'm still trying to do is find the name of a book I read when I was younger.

It was either a autobiography (could of been fiction) about this bloke getting arrested for drug smuggling in Bangcok (or and other south eastern asian country), and his life in the prison and getting out, telling the reader how bad it is. It is seriously a disgustlying gripping book.

I didn't like Lord of the Flies. When I told my English teacher that, she told me that I didn't know how to properly appreciate literature. :'D

1. All David Eddings Novels -except- the Elder Gods series, other then that adore everything he has written.
2. Discworld series (though I must admit I'm not very far into it yet, my parents have the entire collection though so I'll be well versed soon).
3. Harry Potter series (I'd love not to put this...but what can I say, I like my bandwagons)
4. The Waitress, The Nanny and The Learning Curve, all so light and fluffy I've decided to count them as one so there.
5. The Spellsinger series. (I forget who by, sorry) Very interesting set of books happy.gif.

God, apart from what I read as a child that's basically all my reading right there (except LotR, which was shit as in my honest opinion, The Hobbit was good though). What a disgrace I am, my parents have practically turned our lounge into a library and that's all I've read. (over and over mind you, in the case of David Edding's stuff).
