this is my favorite kid's book ever.

also props to whoever it was that posted survivor by chuck palahniuk. he's fantastic.

but this:

is by far my favorite book of all time

YYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS

i was telling dracko about this because he said "nippon", but someone tried to convince me Hiro is half-korean because i guess wikipedia says he is? which is fucking stupid, because he's half-nipponese, and nippon = japan. like, there's NO WAY you can get korean from that. what the fuck!

just felt like sharing that

Cool... but who is "Dracko?"

cool french dude i'm e-friends with, he posts/posted on some other forums i am/was on

When I was in school. I read this trilogy because my teacher said I could never read it in a week


not only was I gobsmacked and couldn't put it down, I was stunned by the level of darkness that the "hero" fell into. This is not light reading material but if you give it a try you'll find it an amazing read

I read poe because I'm emotionally deep and dark and smart and stuff, ya know? totally I'm like really genius.

let me drop some nostalgia on y'all:

All I remember is bouncing balls and dead rats.

I'm not a massive reader, but I have some books I do adore. Take Superfudge, that was just brilliant.

However, my fave book is without question:



Anyone who doesn't like this book because the main character is gay can suck it. This is one of the best coming of age stories I've ever read, and it's also a great parody of superhero stories. If Hollywood made a movie, the final battle would take all of Transformers 2's budget just to pull off, I shit you not.

Also, 2001 and Frankenstein are just fantastic.

Well right now I am reading Hulk Hogan my life outside the ring. That Linda was evil brother,

I just finished



It's a collection of pretty messed up short stories based in an Apocalyptic future that got that way because of too much drug use and self indulgence. Think Tales From the Crypt on acid. It's written by...I think he's a tattoo artist out of PDX. All the stories in there had been published in magazines and whatnot and he just put them all together.

I don't have a single favorite.

But my top three favorite reads are:

I've got a lot of reading to do, but I find this to be a personal favorite.

Kind of surprised I'm the first to mention House of Leaves. By far one of the most unique reads you'll ever come across. The book is written from two perspectives. There's a book within the book written by a blind man analyzing a fictional documentary about a family that moves into a house that is somehow connected to a labyrinth and its affects on the family; but you're also reading it from the perspective of a guy who found the old blind man's writings and he provides his own interpretations to the story. As the book progresses the younger guy slowly starts losing his mind as he goes deeper into the story and in turn so do you as the reader.

But that's only the half of it. The book starts you off with some footnotes on each page, but as it progresses the footnotes get longer, and they then get they're own footnotes and then shit like this gets thrown at you


The good news though is that the book sort of tricks you into learning how to read it as you go along. The only negative thing I can say is this is NOT a book you can read a bit and then put it down for a week/month a jump back in. Once you start have a few bookmarks (you'll need more than one) at hand and read as much as you can each day. The story within the story is one of the most intriguing and ultimately heartwarming stories I've read in a while. When I finished it I ended up talking a few friends into picking up a copy and I bought another copy to give to my girlfriend as a gift.

That was my impression too at first, but its not that hard once you start. The two stories are pretty easy to follow. Next time you're at a book store and come across it, turn to page 3 where the Navidson Record starts and read a few pages. If you buy it though don't skip the stuff prior to that.

Also, I forgot to mention this but you should pick up the full color version. Its the most widely available, cheapest, and most updated version.

I remember reading Ender's Game back in eighth grade. I also read Hatchet and my personal favorite book that I read as a kid, The Mouse and the Motorcycle.

These are my absolute favorite books:

To Kill A Mockingbird
The Inferno
The Great Gatsby
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
The Wasteland
The Pearl
Of Mice and Men

And a book that I'll never forget has to be The Very Hungry Caterpillar. That book was my childhood.
