Hi! happy My pick would be J.D. Salinger's "The Catcher In The Rye". I haven't finished it though because I have to study and read something else. I also have read "Frankenstein" and Charles Dicken's "A Tale of Two Cities". I got quite disappointed though that those were not the original texts but was reworded for younger readers. But still, they were good book! thumbup

the best book i ever read was ju-on(the original version), it was the first time i read a horror book that was so completed. from how the soul of living remains on this world to the revenge that the souls seek. it simply thrill and shock me at the same time. till this day, i can still remember this part. when anyone died, there will be a momentary weight loss at the exact point of time the soul departs from the body. the amount of weight loss= the amount of regrets the soul have.
it is a must-read.

LOTR is one of them.
The DUNE series by Herbert and later completed by his son & KJ Anderson was the best series I've ever read.
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is another.
1984 by Orwell.
Nightfall by Asimov.
The Boudica series by Manda Scott was outstanding.
False Memories by Koontz.
The Talisman, The Stand by King.
There's just too many for me to have to just pick one.

Brave New World and 1984 were inspired by Vevgeny Zamyatin's novel, We. If you have not read it, it is still in print and I have an Amazon.com link at: steve-slaton.spaces.live.com/ Anyway, it was a 1921 science fiction that got him expelled by Lenin from Russia for life. People drove around in flying cars that triggered The Jetsons images for me. The plot is one of a very controlled society. It was a good read.

The Lord of the Rings series is way up there for me, too, but if you fail to read The prologue first, The Hobbit, you absolutely distort how one feels and perceives the story. So... Henry... Tell us why you like Lord of the Rings so much?


myLot reputation of 76/100. henry140468 (188)   ranked 642 out of 8,034 in reading  3 months ago

I like the book because of the travels made by the characters,the action in it,the history of that world and ofcourse Tolkein's style of writing.

I have not read the hobbit though.


SteveSlaton (60)   ranked 7,225 out of 8,034 in reading  3 months ago

Well, in Tolkien's world we readers are supposed to identify with the Hobbit characters, especially Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. By just reading The Lord of the Rings, The Ring is possessed by Bilbo, and visa-versa, and with Gandolf's help Bilbo passes on The Ring to Frodo. This gifting says worlds about Bilbo's character in the judgment of learned of Middle Earth but without reading the Hobbit Bilbo's character is seen as dark. Possessing The Ring is the ultimate temptation of evil, and for Bilbo and Frodo, proof of the character.

In the twenty first century with biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons as well as perversions of nature through genetic engineering, we are racing toward a very dark and damaged world. Most cultures are run by bullies and war and warriors are glorified. While the special effects of the movies were satisfying, the story was warped into a war glorifying metaphor. The United States Christian Right identifies with Gandolf, Aragorn, and company and have slandered and libeled Islam by comparing them to Sauron, Saruman, and the Orcs, which plays to this day with the United States bullying the World... Especially with the movies, the Hobbits are physically weak, in need of being protected by strong warriors, or Treebeard and the Ents, or the wizard, Gandolf.

In The Lord of the Rings books, the 4 seasoned Hobbits return to their country and restore peace by themselves - an Epilogue, really. The movies distort Tolkien on what amounts to an important epilogue and texture of character portraying and what a naive viewer thinks. The Hobbit is the book-ending Prologue to the Epilogue, Bilbo's story, and creates a set of quality feelings of honor, character, friendship, and sacrifice without bullying. Once read, the color of feelings toward Bilbo, Frodo, and Hobbits are set and will be different: positive and strong. I promise.

The bullies of our World promote shades of gray philosophies that allows them to dominate. Tolkien and I view people's actions as good or evil. None of this shades of gray business. The bullies will lead us to our doom if we do not take the bullies down, and take the profit out of war, Hobbit style. Everyone IS special.

There are to many to count. I rarely find a book i don't like. However my favorite book of all time is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I loved LOTR and even read The Hobbit first. I never read a book by Nora Roberts that i didnt love. Anything with vampires in it i have to read. Then we can throw in Dan Browns The Da Vince Code and Angels and Demons. I even read and loved the Harry Potter series. J R Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood is high on my list of favorites along with the Antia Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton. Ah there is just to many..LOL


myLot reputation of 76/100. henry140468 (188)   ranked 642 out of 8,034 in reading  3 months ago

I liked Harry Potter books initially but Rowling didn't offer the kind of story one expected in the seventh book.The last chapters were very boring.Who would expect Voldemort to be killed by a stupid expeliarmus curse??
It's a book for children.


myLot reputation of 92/100. pheonixstar1982 (913)   ranked 41 out of 8,034 in reading  3 months ago

I know it is, but i still liked it.
