gawsh. must take a long time sitting in front of the computer naming them all...
I enjoy most of Orson Scott Card's books (though I find his belief that gay people should just **** it up and go into a straight marriage absolutely repulsive and ridiculous).
I adore Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte. (I don't like Emily Bronte nearly as well.)Ditto ditto ditto. Especially on the Charles Dickes, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Neil Gaiman things. Neil Gaiman rocks the hardness. I'm halfway through American Gods right now. Neverwhere and Coraline blew my mind.
Charles Dickens I like usually like, though at times I can't read him without getting a headache. I also enjoy J.R.R. Tolkien.
Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet are my heroes. Everyone needs to read them.
I LOVE Orson Scott Card. Especially The Worthing Saga. And his homophobia is to be expected. He's Mormon (yay for being Mormon and so knowing all sorts of Mormon pop culture) and he likes to involve his religious beliefs in his text a lot. His Homecoming (I think that's what is was called...) series is pretty much one big allegory for the Book of Mormon.

Everyone in the world should read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams. All the way through. The first book is not enough. The ending of the last book will tear your heart out, and boogle your brain. It is a series that must be read as a whole. It makes me sad that the first one is the only one to ever get recognition.
Has anyone read the book Stargirl? It's written by Jerry Spinelli. Mou... I want to read that. ><

Has anyone here, besides me read Battle Royale?Aaa, I wanteed to read it! O___O I have those manga (only 1-6)) and first movie...but still I don't know where to buy that book from here, in Finland.. Maybe I should search it some day..
It's a good book, I'd recommend it if you looking for a book about human interaction. But it's pretty violent and some scenes in the book do get gory. But I managed to overlook that.
There's some morale behind the book as well, but you have to read into it to figure it out. A lot of people whom I've talked to like the book, so if you're up to it, give the book a shot.
The book that I just read recently was Memoirs of a Geisha. It was sooo good!
