What is your "That Book"?

[Garchomp445]

Hmm... That would have to be the only book series that I ever bought. It was 8 books, but some really smart person decided to compile them into 2 MASSIVE tomes. Hold on, let me get them...
It's called Deltora quest. But really, It's called Deltor a quest. But if you want to be really accurate, it's rotled. Wait. What? Ok, the book is kinda wierd with turning around words and mixing them up and subtracing them and eating them, but really it's just a sucession of puzzles with a bunch of boring road. And I like that. It's nowhere near as thought-provoking as Starship Troopers, which is far better, but I enjoy it all the same.

X-Day

basically its the japanese equivelent of the breakfast club

 

[Vindestructable]

Matt Stover's novelization of Revenge of the Sith.

Makes the movie look like utter shit by comparison and has some of the best written swordfights of any book.

 

[ineedscissors]

This reminds me, I should re-read The Stand by Stephen King some time.

 

[Fanfic_warper]

There are dozens of them for me, but the ONE would have to be the harry potter series. 8th reading right now.

Colbert's "I'm american and so can you" is becoming a quick second as i read it now.

 

[DarthFennec]

For me it's the Hitchhikker's Guide to the Galaxy ... trilogy ... yeah trilogy, that's it.
I just can't stop rereading/quoting/loving those books. I have a giant hardback of all of them, and it's like my bible or something, I love it.

Well if I have to pick a favorite it would have to be Stephen King's IT, I read it every year. The Same goes for Lord of the Rings.

Two that I have read more times than I can count:

I, Jedi By Michael Stackpole
and
Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein.

If I'm in for a longer re-read the Chronicles of Narnia, Dresden Files, and the Honorverse books are always fun.

 

[LikeDustInTheWind]

I am the Messenger by Markus Zusack. I've read it so much, I've memorized the first 3 chapters.

Everything by Zusak is absolute gold. I've read all of his books and there's not one I don't like.

OT: Hmmm I think Fight Club is one of the few books I've read more than once. Same goes for the movie, too.

 

[Chelsizzle]

The Stand by Stephen King. I've reread it multiple times.

And although it's a kid's book, The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster. I love it.

 

[Josef Lev]

Song of Ice and Fire

 

[Mr Goostoff]

The Road. I can not read that book enough.
Honestly, anything from Cormac McCarthy is endlessly engrossing for me.

 

[Zuljeet]

Job never gets old.

 

[RootbeerJello]

The Magician's Nephew and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, both from Chronicles of Narnia. They're both very calming, surreal books.

 

[TheRobotandtheBeast]

world war z or the dresden files

 

[AJvsRonin]

yes world war z was good.

But my definite book of choice is Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan

best non fiction book ever.

Gone too soon Mr Sagan, I wish I could have met you, you changed my life.

 

[AMMO Kid]

1 and 2 Samuel from the Bible. I don't care what you believe about the bible, these two book are a great story of a shepherd boy who becomes a king. They've got battles, friendships, and tragedy. Man I love that story.

 

[Schmittler]

I don't re-read books to often, but I would have to put my favorite series as The Dark Tower. It just really filled a gap in time with the exact type of novel I wanted. I really enjoyed them.

 

[N_of_the_dead]

Tales of H.P. Lovecraft, a good collection of his stories in one book. Also a great cover art done by Mike Mignola

 

[Jak23]

The Pendragon Adventure, it's awesome!
No it's not about a dragon.
