  • Top 10 Favourite books

    Since we had one on music, how about books?

    1. Anne of Green Gables series
    2. LOTR and prequels (The Hobbit, The Silmarillion)
    3. Memoirs of a Geisha
    4. Bridget Jones Diary
    5. Jurassic Park and generally some Michael Crichton books
    6. Lovely Bones
    7. A Wrinkle in Time
    8. To Kill a Mockingbird
    9. Harry Potter series (when are the next books coming out?!?!)
    10. The Da Vinci Code

    I'm sure there's more, but that's it for now

    btw, it doesn't have to be novels, I just happen to like to escape to a make-believe world once in awhile.

          Read a lot of Spiderman comics when i was i kid. Very entertaining! I'm currently reading The Rule Of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason but i want to know what to read next so keep the lists coming! I heard Memoirs of a Geisha was good but its kinda of a girly book... is it? I know Harry Potter books are fun to read but since its a whole series that's a lot of time I gotta invest.

          From what i can remember... here's my list in no particular order:

          1. Animal farm (George Orwell)
          2. 1984 (George Orwell)
          3. The Da Vince Code (Dan Brown)
          4. The Age of Spiritual Machines (Ray Kurzweil)

                    Meaning you haven't read these yet? I think you'd like Rich Dad, Poor Dad if you haven't already read it.

                          Nope I haven't read any of those yet. But they all came highly recommended by my friends and profs back at UofT. I just have never gotten around to reading them yet. Thank you for your recommendation as well. I'll keep it in mind.

                              Chuck Palahniuk is amazing author..people should check him and read a book of his. He is the writer of Fight Club! He's a bit odd but definitely will keep you interested
