Favorite Book: And then there were none.
I read that book when I was in 8th grade, (lol) and that's the only book in school i've read that I actually wanted to read. It's one of those books where you wan't to keep turning the page to see what happens next. Very few of those in schools nowadays.

Last book I read: I've been in the middle of reading The Cruciable (sp?) for English, and Warriors of Alavna just when I have nothing to do. Good book.

What's a book?  :?  Some kind of new peripheral?

Actually it's been way too long since I read a book properly. Used to read loads when I was younger. Dahl was always a favourite. I liked Danny the Champion of the World because of the dodgy morals heh heh. Also Kipling and Tolkien.

The last book I read was some crap by Ade Edmonson (The Gobbler). Worth it for the portrayal of the "psycho fan" though. Read that and worry, some of you.

The last "serious" book was probably 1984.

And I hate hate hate hate hate Harry Potter.  :evil:

[MeechNess]

I love Flowers For Algernon!!! Such a sad book!!!

Hmm.... "Where the Heart Is" by Billie Letts... THE best book ever.. i've been reading the Shopaholic books by Sophie Kinsella recently.. they're really funny

Joe,  I tell you what.  I had an english minor and I specialized in literature and I STILL couldn't stand Great Expectations.  So don't feel bad, you're not alone.

My favorite book of all time is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil... hey, it's about my hometown.

The last book I read was The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.  Really good book.

In case you haven't noticed, I don't read much.

Perks of being a wallflower is brilliant...I just bought the new Tom Robbins book on Tuesday (Villa Incognito) It's ok this far...not his best writing. But my favorite book is The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald, it's the ultimate American novel...it will never be topped. The last book I read was "Blindness" by Jose Saramago...it was brilliant...one of the best books I've ever read. "The Painted Bird" by Jerzy Kosinki is another one of my favorites. I have way too many books. If I have to choose a classical author, I'm going with Oscar Wilde.

I HATED that book!!!!!!!!!
definitely didn't meet the least of MY expectations (hehe)
boooo Dickens

[Grakthis]

Yeah, I generally have to agree.  Boooo dickins.  

I respect Dickins as an author.  I recognize the talent.  But damn, I cannot STAND his books! He spends 3 paragraphs describing random furniture regardless of it's pertinance to the plot! UGH!

lol, i hate reading in general so you have to give me a really to-die-for kind of book...but i started reading great expectations, and it just went on and on and on....it was really pointless and it made sense, but in reality shouldn't have been written, luckily we didn't have to read the whole thing (just a "shortened" version that left out a lot of minor details)...lol but hey I only read like 5 chapters out of all we were supose to read I made a C.
