Books, comics and reading

So, what are your favourite books? Do you like to read?

I need recommendations, what should I read next?

Now I'm reading Pamela Des Barres' Let's spend the night together. It's really interesting, all those stories of rock'n'roll lifestyle, groupies and such. I love all kinds of biographies. It's so fascinating to see other people's lives.

And I HAVE TO recommend Garfield minus Garfield. It's the best comic ever.

I love way to many books, in all seriousness~ I have to lie to my mother and say I haven't bought any new books when she makes comments that my book piles (because the bookcase is to full....well, jammed) start to grow and migrate~

Yet a few of my favorite books are:

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe
and Lonely Werewolf Girl by Martin Miller.

Comics wise~ I love Witchblade and HACK.
Plus I'm an anime/manga kid~

I used to be really into anime/manga ;V The only Anime I've been keeping up with is Yu Gi Oh 5Ds ;V Judge all you want, I like it. And I've seen the movie of the Picture of Dorian Gray it was awesome, even if it is old.

I like Kevin Canty's books, although He writes few books.. I like Harry Potter, like my friend, but I read it many moons ago. Very Happy

I must to expend, and read books to school. Sad

I regret that all of this books are boring..

Me too. My all-time favourites. Smile

There's no better books than Harry Potters.

Stephen King is good too.

I am isterested if you are all forced to read books in school like us in Poland. I would read modern books but I don't have time because I have to read shity and boring books written by our stupid old Polish writers who are dead tousands years. Also I think they were sniffers... normal man couldn't have written such idiot books. So do you?

You're right my friend.. Our "fantastic" national writers sucks.. Their books are boring, stupid and without meaning.. Normal man doesn't think and write about unhappy love, and think that this kind of love is the most beautiful. ;x Maybe they were smoking some strange wort? Very Happy

I tried to read The Lord Of The Ring once but I never red more than like 10-20 pages. I can't remember why I didn't keep on reading it. Maybe I should try again... I've seen two first movies of it and I must say that the second movie - The Two Towers went over my head! Very Happy

The end of the movie was very complicated in my opinion.

I tried to read this book once, and i won't try read it again.. For me it's strange a bit, and I don't understand what was happened ;x Maybe i'm stupid.. Very Happy

I don't like movie version, and i don't understand what people perceive in 'The Lord Of The Ring'..

Yesterday I went to a flea market and I found one interesting book, The biography of Marilyn Monroe (written by Donald Spoto). I find Marilyn Monroe very fascinating and beautiful person but I haven't read any bioghraphy about her before. Yesterday evening I started reading it, and now I just want to read more and more. It seems pretty interesting so far.

I like 'Lord of the Rings', a bit less than that 'Harry Potter'... Stieg Larssons' books are great and Stephen Kings', also some of Sapkowski's and Pilipiuk's (they're kinda popular in Pl)... No, I definitely read too much.

I do agree with you - reading this shit (sorry) makes us having enough literature... :/
