Last book I read was Twilight :o
It was so boring!

I'm actually not that big fan of books, but I do like J.R.R. Tolkien's LOTR trilogy and The Children of Hurin (I think that's the right name)

@OP: you could have added some info on that book to stimulate interest

for fantasy i'd also recommend reading tolkien (lotr trilogy & hobbit), roger zelazny (The Chronicles of Amber)
for horror my favorites are clive barker (weaveworld, hellbound heart) & stephen king (many)
for adventure try jf cooper (The Last of the Mohicans), karl may (Winnetou & others)
for mystic adventures a great one is carlos castaneda
for mystery/detective thrillers, Arthur Conan Doyle with his sherlock holmes series is essential
for SF, Arthur C. Clarke would be essential reading


as a side note, books are almost always the best (or more accurately the most comprehensive/engaging) way of getting 'entertainment' (movies & tv are just a pale imitation, often poisoned with corporate/holywood propaganda), but they require patience, privacy & time so that the reader can fully immerse himself in the story

M favorite ones are all the books of Barry Eisler. (really great thriller series about a half asian/ causcasian assassin) Even the information he gives when describing how to sneak on somebody or something like that sounds very realistic thanks to his former profession as a CIA Agent and his sources. :top:

reading is always good. ;) Much better than watching TV/movies I think, since your fantasy is trained too. ;)

I've read Harry Potter all parts and there were quite interesting except some boring parts, but anyway it was great. And the movies i think were more boring, reading books were a bit more entertaining :)

My favourite book is "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. In my opinion, he was the greatest writer in the second half of 20th century. The books is about a vhs containing a strange movie that keeps going on till the viewer is completely ipnotized and dead! In general, it's a dark parody about consumerism. I truly reccomend you. Oh, it's only 1300 pages ;)

Recently read The Art of War - Sun Tzu. Really interesting book. There are many wise tips that can help in life. After reading this book, I now make more thoughtful decisions.

Everything from The Art of War applies to the battlefield of modern society. Also recommended and for similar reasons: The Art of Deception, by hacker legend Kevin Mitnick.

Me neither, but that doesn't change the fact everyone should play Katawa Shoujo.
