This may sound weird but, before the time of Computers there where mysterious things called Books.

One would acess the infromation tucked inside these devices by opening them and
downloading the information by a technique called READING

Once read the "reader" was transpeoted into a world of imagination and fantasy

my favoriate books would have to be [in no peticular order]

~1984- George Orwells
~Angles & Deamons-Dan Brown
~Eragon- Christopher Panolini
~Real Ultimate Power-Robert Hambuger{sooo frikking hilarious}
~Paradise Lost-John Milton
~The Divine Comedy- Dante Alighieri

your turn

Books! Wow! The one thing the internet has yet to expose innocent young minds to.

Love the topic. My faves (no special order) are:

1. Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoevsky
2. Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronté
3. Notes from the Underground - Dostoevsky again
4. Martin the Warrior - Bryan Jacques (First book to ever make me cry)
5. The Little Prince - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
6. Frankenstein - Mary Shelley

I also love the Divine Comedy (specifically the Inferno), and am a fan of Tanya Huff novels. But we could only pick the top six, and those are it.

Also, does the Thesaurus count? 'Cause who doesn't love the Thesaurus?

*Edited because, while I can read, I apparently cannot count.

Eragon - i've just downloaded it, (gonna buy next week but couldn't wait) and not finished yet, but it's super
Harry Potter series
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
all books from a Hungarian writer called Jenő Rejtő, alias P. Howard or Gibson Lavery - i love his books!!!! they always make me laugh!!!!
okay, only these 4 comes into my mind now... i'll think of it and complete the list

Reading requirements! Boo! I think all they do is get kids to hate reading.

Eragon is actually rather good. I was reading the sequel but I had my interest go elsewhere so I have never finished it. And if you've read the right books then there are MANY similarities between them.

I've been meaning to pick up the Eragon Series, but I've got a lot of other books to read for school. Btw, totally agree on hating req reading. I read the same book twice, once outside of school, once in. I don't know what it is, but I hated being forced to read a book. Even worse is when you would never read it.
Anyways, no particular order, maybe:

Catch- 22
Mere Christianity ( I'll add any other CS Lewis while I'm at it)
HP Series (# 6 is my fav for some reason I don't know)
Dante's Inferno
Animorphs (Going old school here)
Anything Dave Berry

I'm putting scriptures (Bible and Book of Mormon, yes I'm LDS) as a special mention because I don't really include them in such lists.

ALL time? If I exclude all the classic literature that I love and the science fiction authors I flock to, that's easy:

* 1. The Cave of Time by Edward Packard
* 2. Journey under the Sea by R. A. Montgomery
* 3. By Balloon to the Sahara by Douglas Terman
* 4. Space and Beyond by R. A. Montgomery
* 5. The Mystery of Chimney Rock by Edward Packard
* 6. Your Code Name Is Jonah by Edward Packard

No books have captured my imagination since like the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series.

Meh, I have hated all of my required reading, except one, which I read this semester, Freakonmics... ^+^ but I'm interested in Economics too, so I'm a little weird...

1. Anita Blake Vampire serises by Laurell K. Hamilton
2. Harry Potter (And I wish all those sick HP fanfic people would just stop... some of it is just too disturbing for words)
3. Nerdy Romance Novels by Vicki Lewis Thompson
4. Tamora Pierce, Song of the Lionness Serise, The Immortal Series, and Protector of the Small Serise, each serise is four books so total of 12 :3 but they're short and easy read...

That's all I can come up with at the moment...lol
