No one's mentioned A Clockwork Orange yet? That book is epic. Also, George Orwell and Patricia Windsor are really good authors. 1984 and Diving for Roses are awesome.

It was an interesting story, but it was difficult reading it. I love the concept, but honestly it would be better if it was written in a slightly less text-book essay style.

Personally my favorite book is Perks of Being a Wallflower. It's so easy to read, and you never want it to end.

Choke and A Clockwork Orange.

I am reading The Road right now, pretty grim but I am enjoying it.

I have a few books that I love including Pillars of the Earth, Enders Game, Donald Burgett's memoirs, and Shantaram.

i love to read

The curious incident of the dog in the night time and Jarhead.

A Star Called Henry by Roddy Doyle.

Honourable mentions to Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting books, Doyle's Barrytown trilogy and most of Michael Crichton's work, but Jurassic Park in particular.

Only as far as both take place on an island full of dinosaurs, and both have characters that share the same names, but not the same personalities.

Some of my favorites from various genres:

Hamlet is my favorite Shakespeare play
Tangerine is my favorite teen novel
Harry Potter is a damn good fantasy series
Terry Pratchett is my favorite humorist author
Enders Game is a jewel
Guns, Germs, and Steel is my favorite History

As for picture books, I guess my choice for today is Just Like Heaven

The Forever War
The Diamond Age
World War Z

I'm reading Plato's Republic right now. I'd say if you ever want to debate Politics or Philosophy you should read this book, even if you don't agree with it.

idk actually.

I'm reading one at the moment called "Pretty Monsters" by Kelly Link. It's a book made up of several short stories, I've only read 3 of them and they are a little kiddish I guess but I'm completely captivated. Two of the three short stories so far have left me wanting more, have left me wanting to read entire books on the things she has packed into like 30-40 pages of writing. So this could very well turn into my favourite book. Every good writer leaves you wanting more, and she certainly does.

Ha, I thought "Don't we have a club about this?" was a book for a second.

That cock sucker made the garbage insult towards literature known as Animal Farm.

The Last Book in the Universe By: Rodman Philbrick

Dune

It's perhaps the greatest book ever. I hold it in higher regard than the Bible.

I once picked up a book called Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions by Edwin A Abbott. It's only 130 pages but it's incredibly creative and different. I really loved that book.

Farenheit 451 is a good book.
I love the Hitchhiker's Guide 5-book 'trilogy.' Both hilarious and deliciously sci-fi!

"Zombies for Zombies" by David P. Murphy

If you haven't read Ender's Game I highly suggest you do.
