After reading for about 4 days I'm 3 books into the Inheritance Cycle and I'm around 100 pages from starting Inheritance.

[Ridhwan Hemsome]

That was pretty cool. Reminded me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came%E2%80%A6. I'm not too into literature... I prefer writing. I envy anyone who can write decent poetry.

[biiibi]

[Harinder Ghag]

I love good writing. Some of my favorite authors are:
A. Lee Matinez
Christopher Moore
Clive Barker.

[Sarah Unwin]

A very short list of some of my favorite pieces:

The Stranger - Albert Camus

As I Lay Dying - William Falkner

The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber - Ernest Hemingway (never get married until you've read this)

To Build a Fire - Jack London (absolutely riveting short story)

Currently reading the Epic of Gilgamesh in my English class. Doesn't get much more old school than that.

[P PoLlo]

Currently reading the Epic of Gilgamesh in my English class. Doesn't get much more old school than that.

Try reading Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in Greek. That's hardcoe!

[amhain]

Just finished Brave New World and I have to say it was fantastic. A great look into such a different in society and later into the Savage's mind.

[Amy Masters]

Try reading Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in Greek. That's hardcoe!

The Odyssey is one of my all time favorites.

[ZANEY82]

I wish I had time to read some more. Most of what I read is industry news with my career. Bathroom material is currently the Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Reptiles & Amphibians.

Currently reading the Epic of Gilgamesh in my English class. Doesn't get much more old school than that.

Great story. Gilgamesh and Enkidu were the Durden/Durden of the 3rd century BC.

[Sylvia Luciani]

I tried to get a literature thread going a while back.

Anyways, I just finished reading Hamlet in my English class! Pretty good words 'dat 'dare Will writ'!

[I love YOu]

Oh. I forgot. Edgar Allen Poe is my all time super favorite

[Karine laverre]

I've been holding out on reading some of the more famous authors for the same reason I first eat what's bad and then eat what's good. Savoring the best for last. But I wonder when I should put that attitude down and just start reading the books by all of those most praised authors.

As it is I'm reading a Song of Ice and Fire + the story of Elminster by Ed Greenwood. Just some lightweight fantasy for now to pass the time until I get time to focus on something really great.

[saharen beauty]

My favorite book is 1984 by George Orwell. A very fascinating read.

But it appears as if you guys are discussing poetry, so I might as well post my favorite piece, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Tyler Coleridge.

[Alyna]

right now i'm reading fahrenheit 451 by ray bradbury. it's good so far.

[Thema]

I quite like the river world series by philipe jose farmer,

and my all time favourite saga is The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever by Stephen Donaldson

[CArla HOlbert]

With me constantly working on my book I don't have much time or will to read books. I've recvently finished Ender's Game. I'm Reading the first book in ice and fire and am a quarter way through.

[Jinx Sykes]

I must start reading again. I don't have time for it, though. Between RL stuff, which is incredibly hectic this year, and modding, there's no space for my favourite childhood activity -- reading.

I want to read Robin Hobb's Assassin's Quest series again. It is the best fantasy series written, to date; no contest.

[XPidgex Jefferson]

I've just started Enderby by Anthony Burgess. I've only read Clockwork Orange and 1985 by him and I wasn't expecting anything this funny. Lots of fart jokes.

I just finished reading the Hunger Games trilogy. Was think about starting a thread for it but I don't think it's off topic in here - anyone else read it? I was thinking about the films coming out and I have no idea how they are going to film the same material while keeping it aimed at young teens. Books get away with a lot of stuff that films just can't. If they stay true to the books it could easily be rated 18.

[Matthew Aaron Evans]

Can't go wrong with 'The Road to Wigan Pier' and 'Down and Out in Paris and London'; none of that 'we were poor, oh look, every thing is better now' nonsense.

[Anna Kyselova]

I started to read the the dark tower books.
I've finished the gunslinger and about half way though the drawing of the three.

I'm really loving them so far.

[Hannah Whitlock]

the ending of that series is the best i have ever read.

however, be prepared. some of the middle books get head banging on your desk boring, specificly wolves of calla

[SEXY QUEEN]

Been sort of checking out some magical realism lately: I read One Hundred Years of Solitude by Márquez, then Gunter Grass' The Tin Drum, now back to Márquez with Chronicle of a Death Foretold.
