the deathly hallows was a major let down. i felt she rushed the ending of the book way to fast... just my opinion.

and my favorite book of all time is
young stalin

its amazing what he did before he became the dictator of russia. he was actually supposed to be a priest, and fathered a child by a 13 year old girl... yea. am reading stalin: and the court of the red tsar, and its amazing so far

1984 is my favorite. Pretty much any good satires/dystopian society novels I enjoy thoroughly.
Fahrenheit 451
The Long Walk
Animal Farm
Slaughterhouse Five

Used to love the 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' series but haven't read them in a long time.

Jimbo Jones · 08-15-2008, 04:28 PM

Oh, yeah, Animal Farm. I wrote an essay about that in english and got an A+. PWND

Orwell's two dystopian masterpieces, they've already been mentioned

To Kill A Mockingbird really got me as well.

Wow, really? That's a surprise to me. I didn't think classic american literature was appreciated much outside of America. Harper Lee did so well. It truly is a fantastic book.

The fountainhead is her weakest book. Anthem and Atlas Shrugged win the day for me.

I can't agree. I really enjoyed Atlas Shrugged but The Fountainhead takes it for me. I have been meaning to go out and by Anthem but have yet to do so.

I love reading, but I'm more into the fantasy settings. My all-time hands-down favorite series in A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin, a fantastic series. It currently has four books, with a fifth that has been pushed back for over a year now. All in all it's going to end with seven books. Anybody who likes a medieval setting without the cliche elves or dwarves, or cliche magic, but want a down-to-earth gritty and deep book, check out A Song of Ice and Fire series. They're aimed for adults, so they're a lot more mature and gritty.

In my Honors LA class this year I'm required to read at least a book a quarter outside of class, so I'm going to start reading more official literature.

Well we did it for English so I theoretically had no choice in reading it or not but I loved it. I don't think classic american literature is particularly not appreciated over here, it's pretty good as far as I'm concerned...
