Usually I restrict myself to Manga, Subtitled Anime, Comics, and Video Game instructions, but I step out of that on occasion to read a good book.
So anyhow, Im bored! I want to know everyone's favorite books..
Currently, mine is Battle Royale and the Dark Tower Series. Anyone ever read 'A Dozen Black Roses?' Its a vampire novel, I found to be very good. Havent ever been able to find it again since I gave it to someone tho..

Nah, I haven't read that.
Well, since it's the only thing I've been reading for a long time now, I'm going to say the Star Wars ones are my favorites. I'm still reading the one you got me (and I need to get the rest of the New Jedi Order since I'm so behind on that).
I need to get the Lord of the Rings books since I've been wanting to read those again, plus I'll have to get The Hobbit as well hehe.
I saw some WoD books, and they seem to be interesting, so I'll have to get those when I can too (ask Iyou since he probably knows more about WoD than I do).

Smz, you NEED the hobbit, honestly, i think the hobbit is BETTER than the LOTR itself. (Well, maybe take out some of the stuff off the first 3 chapters) sometimes the LOTR just gets boring........... one part goes on forever.......*yawn*
LOTR: 7/10 Hobbit: 8/10

I agree. Lotr is awfully boring. I couldn't read either book tho cause I personaly cannot stand the author's style of writing. Its just agitating.. I don't know why I cant stand it but I just cant.

The first and the third one I was able to read pretty fast, but it took me forever to get through the second one. And yeah, I need to read The Hobbit, since I've only seen the animated version. It's probably about the same though.

I read half the hobbit.
I can honestly say, that I probably prefer the animated version (which is suprisingly accurate) just because if I watch the animated version.. I don't have to read it. It's interesting, but at the same time it bores you to tears with boring Hobbit talk and stupid dwarves being cocky little freaks.
And why the hell did they have to animate the stupid SONGS TOO?! WHY!? they were bad enough in the book, but now they have a stupid tune to go with them!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!
I want to shoot hobbits now.. someone needs to make a Quake mod with hobbits!!
