The Best Book/Book Series You've Ever Read?

[Griffstar]

Mine would probably be the InkHeart series. Very entertaining and kept me reading for more.

Whats yours?

 

[Marter]

"The Last Vampire" by Christopher Pike.

I really enjoyed reading those. Except the 6th book. It can just leave.

 

[King Toasty]

The Bartimaeus Trilogy. Really original, fantastic characterization and simply amazing atmosphere.

 

[Helmet]

"The Last Vampire" by Christopher Pike.

I really enjoyed reading those. Except the 6th book. It can just leave.

I quite enjoyed them as well.

But my vote will go for the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.

 

[.No.]

Trainspotting. I did watch the movie first though.

 

[blaise_fire]

The Song of Fire and Ice series by George R.R. Martin. I just wish he'd release his next book already!

I really like Cherie Priest's Clockwork Century books.

I've read Boneshaker and Dreadnought, but I haven't checked out Clementine yet.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

"The Last Vampire" by Christopher Pike.

I really enjoyed reading those. Except the 6th book. It can just leave.

But my vote will go for the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.

Oooo, I second this. As a series, anyway. Redwall was definitely it when I was younger.

Get mad, get sad, call me names, I don't care.

Learned quite a bit from it.

Am I allowed to answer House of Leaves again for what seems to be the fifty-gazillionth time? If not, screw it, I am going to mention it again. It is probably the single best thing I have read. It is one of the few pieces of media that genuinely scared me (in addition to the honor of being the only book to scare me), and it has a fantastic story/stories. I highly recommend that anyone who is 17 and up read it.

 

[Zaverexus]

The works of Dumas, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, and Dune (though I've only read two books in that series)

 

[Terminate421]

My favorite book is One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

but my favorite series....I guess Redwall. The Legend of Luke is my favorite out of that one.

 

[The Shade]

Any of William Gibson's books. Neuromancer, in particular.

The Bartimaeus Trilogy. Really original, fantastic characterization and simply amazing atmosphere.

Oh god, yes! Those books are so freakin' awesome!

 

[Verex]

The Bartimaeus Trilogy. Really original, fantastic characterization and simply amazing atmosphere.

Couldn't have said it better myself

 

[DktrAgonizer]

My favorite book/series seems to change every so often (there's too many good ones out there to permanently choose!), but I'll currently have to go with the Bartimaeus Trilogy and it's prequel. They're funny, they're deep, they've got great characters, and so on. In fact, I'd consider Barty to be my favorite literary character of all time.

"The Last Vampire" by Christopher Pike.

I really enjoyed reading those. Except the 6th book. It can just leave.

I was just going to say 'The Last Vampire', I really enjoyed those novels. Have you read any of his other works? (Master of Murder, Sari, Remember Me?)

 

[Johnnyallstar]

The Song of Fire and Ice series by George R.R. Martin. I just wish he'd release his next book already!

You ninja, you know he'll be dead before he finishes the series

 

[Detective Paul]

The Nicholas Flamel series. Excellent story telling and interesting character development. The series started with the Alcheymest if you want to start reading.

 

[Infinatex]

The Sword of Truth series wins it for me! Sure they kinda fall off a bit by the 8th book, but they are still absolutely amazing!

(There is also a terrible TV series 'based' off it but... we don't talk about that!)

(No seriously this show is bad... like fan-fiction bad...)


(uggh..)
