Green Eggs and Ham

I would have never expected it to turn out like that.


I'm not conceited...I'm convinced.
Also, I like to use ellipses.......a lot...

Any Terry Pratchett novel. they are funny as fuck, gets me laughing out loud in places. possibly some of the most intelligent and intrigueing stortlines every, while remaining light hearted and hilarious. Start with "the Light Fantastic"

I don't know what my favorite book is, but Erotic Dots was the most fun dot-to-dot puzzle book I have ever seen.

Description on Amazon:

No artistic talent? Huge libido? Good sense of humour? This is the book for you. Using the dot to dot technique familiar from your childhood days, you can recreate steamy ex scenes with explicit positions, using just a pencil! If you can count, you can do it.
Erotic Dots contains 60 colour photos with sections redrawn as dot to dot artworks for you to complete. You'll be aroused, you'll be intrigued and you'll be amused.

MY HAT IS AWESOME!

Well, you can always read the Hitch Hikers Guide, but i'm recommending any works by Terry Pratchett. Start reading the Discworld series. If you're into humour, that is ;)

Things Fall Apart: A Novel by the amazing Chinua Achebe.
I love all of his works but Things Fall Apart is beyond compare. It's about an African man, a traditionalist, whos way of life is being threatened and crushed by the march of time and the Western world.

Something Happened by Joseph Heller, my favorite author and writer of Catch-22.
Heller tends not to write with much regard for traditional structure and this portrait of a modern man (circa the 1960's) is thick, mostly plotless, captivating, challenging, hilarious and quite depressing. It motivated me to come up with my own unique penmanship style.

High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. A better, wittier look at the inside of a man's head you will not find.


This sig is 100% effective protection from all hexes, curses, evil spirits and bad karma. Guaranteed.

Anything by Kurt Vonnegut.

My favorite is Cat's Cradle, but Slaughterhouse V was good as well.
You should really read these books. It's fiction set in somewhat present times with a little bit of sci-fi.

The Outsiders, by S.E. Hinton. Very good read, in my opinion.

Redwall was fucking good. I wasn't dispointed by any of the books I read by Brian Jacques. This thread makes me want to go out and buy a new one tommorow haha.

The Assassin moved quietly from roof to roof until he was well away from the excitement around the Watch House. His movements could be called cat-like, except that he did not stop to spray urine up against things.

Anything by terry pratchett is awsome, it's full of hilarious crap which you wouldn't even begin to think of.

Goblins in the Castle OGM WIN, seriously most read book I own, I read it like 10 times in a row when I got it back in the day. I was around 10 at the time I think.

I know it’s not the best book I have ever read but I liked it. I would read it again now to see why I liked it but I would probably find out how lame it really is.

I am probably about to say the dorkiest thing ever, I like TSR books. I read enough advanced crap for school, I am not about to bust open a heavy thinking book for leisure.

lone drow by R.A.Salvatore
however its part two of a tree part trilogy so if you read that now it won't make any sense
and it trilogy no.6 of a seven trilogy (and growing) series
youve got a lot of reading to do if you want to reach it

fav parts: fighting scenes with the hunter
explosion scene
revival scene
just love it

I forgot the author though, but it's that butcher who hides bodies under the floorboards.

I love that book. I loved the movie as well. It's a well pieced together plot, everything falls into place so well. It's a little unrealistic in that everything simply comes together without a hitch, but still, it's the classic revenge story.

However, I still think Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky is my favorite book. He's an incredible author. I also love The Brothers Karamazov. That man could put you right into the heads of the characters, you feel like you've known them for years when you finish, it's incredible.

I would have to say that my favorite author is Ernest Hemingway. His understated style is second to none. I love how he can say so much with so little, he choses his words so carefully and they have so much impact, every word is worth reading.


Think you're pretty clever...
