Favourite Books!

[[Desolate Divine]]

I gotta say my favourite is Hideaway from Dean Koontz. A psychopathic, satan worshipping serial killer returning from hell? I like it.

My other favourites are the Inheritence Cycle, Harry Potter, Tomorrow series and deltora quest.

Gahhh too many to name for me, but the ones that I've been trying to keep current with are The Dresden Files, The Event Group, and Chess Team,

One of my favorite series was Jim Buther's Codex Alera, which he made on a bet:

"The inspiration for the series came from a bet Jim was challenged to by a member of the Delray Online Writer’s Workshop. The challenger bet that Jim could not write a good story based on a lame idea, and Jim countered that he could do it using two lame ideas of the challenger’s choosing. The “lame” ideas given were “Lost Roman Legion", and “Pokémon”."

While I don't think the ideas are lame, I'm glad the bet was made, one of the best fantasy series I've ever read

YOU READ JIM TOO! FINALLY! *does ecstatic happy dance making everyone of him as bonkers*

I read Codex after getting hooked to the Dresden Files. Have you read all the way through Codex?

Yeah twice I think, loved the pacing of the book, and I thought the concept of Furies was pretty cool. I had caught up on the Dresden Files, and decided to read Furies of Calderon, and proceeded to finish the series in less than a month

Less than a month. Pfft. Week and a half (I'm a /fast/ reader).

Have you seem the videos of Jim reading the first few chapters of Skin Game yet?

I might've been able to read them in that time frame, if I wasn't working, I went through the Dresden Files as fast as I could spend the money for the books, the same thing with some of the Event Group novels, I'd finish them in a day or two and move like a zombie through work. Have you read the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks? A pretty good read as well, it's a pretty dark story, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. The protagonist reminded me of Tavi a little bit.

Not yet, is that a new series he's writing?

Can't say I read it.

Nope. It's Book 15. He's also writing the Cinder Spires, which /is/ a new series.

I don't really have a favorite book of all-time, but one of my favorites I've read recently is Junot Diaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao.

[Q for Quick]

Not to seem too fanboy or cliche, but I'm a huge Stephen King fan. I'd have to say my favorites are the short stories. I recently read Full Dark, No Stars and it's so good I'm about to read it again. It's not to read if you're not of age, and does contain foul language, but nothing too barbaric. I'm starting to pick up more short story books from him to read whenever the internet is down over here.

I don't read a lot of fiction. If anyone knows of any medieval knight like fiction that emphasizes politics, please make a recommendation.

I mostly read theology. I am about 60% done with "The Christian Faith: A Systematic Theology for Pilgrim's on the Way" by Michael Horton and I'd say it's been my favorite book besides Scripture so far.

I want to start reading more philosophy, science, and history. I feel like I've wasted most of my life not reading good books. :/
