I haven't read Atlas Shurgged yet, because it's insanely long (the copy I picked up in the bookstore was just over 1,000 pgs) and I already have a stack of other books to read. I read a plot summary though, and I'm looking forward to reading it, when I get that chance.

Erm...Speak. Everyone else seems to hate it and says it's horribly written, I guess I just like it because I can identify with it. Eh. Plus the cover art is cool. :P


I liked that book too, and recommended it to other people back when I read it. There was another book I read at the time which I have now bought: Saying It Out Loud by Joan Abelove. You might like it, though there's actually no foreseeable link between this and Speak.

Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I feel sad that people don't appreciate it. :(

Ugh. Eragon. That kid only got published in the first place because his parents owned the company. LotR meets Star Wars, woohoo. Someone needs to take Paolini's thesaurus and set fire to it. Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if he slept with it at night. -eyeroll-

Oh yes, back on topic. Everyone I know except my best friend seems to hate A Series of Unfortunate Events. I love these books to death because I love the way they're written, and how everything in them is just so strange. I don't see why people think they're so boring and repetitive, because they really aren't.

There was a week that I decided to read Ayn Raynd. So I read both The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged that week. They are my two favorite books, but the whole reason that I read them in the first place was because my American Literature professor told me that they were the absolute worst books ever written. He said that if anyone read them, liked them, and took a test over it (this was The Fountainhead) and passed with a perfect score, they would automatically pass the reading section of the class. Needless to say I read them and loved them, though I seriously doubt anyone here has read them and likes them.



The Fountainhead is my favorite book. I picked it up because the Ayn Rand Foundation runs a scholarship essay contest for it yearly, which I entered (and lost :P). I haven't read Atlas Shurgged yet, because it's insanely long (the copy I picked up in the bookstore was just over 1,000 pgs) and I already have a stack of other books to read. I read a plot summary though, and I'm looking forward to reading it, when I get that chance.

Hey! You need to fill me in on that!

Agreed on both points- Paolini is stinky and not all that talented and ASoUE rocks. <3

Except that the latter is overrrrr. :cry:

Um, some books I like that everyone hates... I am a Shakespeare nut. I love Wicked (but no one's read it ;_;)...


I absolutely LOVED Wicked! Although Son of a Witch was far more entertaining in my opinion. And I also loved Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister. Most people thing Gregory Maguire is boring (most that i've talked to anyway) but so far I've loved every book that I've read of his.

Another book that gets me in trouble because I love it so much is Lamb by Christopher Moore. It's definately not one that very religious people enjoy.

Anything by Meggin Cabot, Lauren Weisenberger and Candace Bushnell. I know they're all Chick-lit books, but they're really damn good.


I LOVE "The boy next door" by Meg Cabot, it's absolutely brilliant, now I just wish I could FIND it... it's nowhere.

Dune! It was strange, that's probably why I liked it.

Silas Marner.


Hate... was one of my perscribed books.

Anyway to topic, one of my all time favourite series' is The Time Master Trilogy by Louise Cooper.

No-one else seems to have heard of it. Either way I STRONGLY recomment it. I actually prefer nice thick books that you can get your teeth into and these are not thick, not even close, but they're brilliant!

Oh and one of prescribed books My Family and Other Animals I thought it was sweet and yet every single person whom I've spoken to who've read it hates it. Why?

Jane Eyre, Pride&Prejudice, Sense&Sensibility, Rebecca, and (I know this one doesn't exactly match) Meg Cabot. There is nothing like a good romance.

Hmm.. I liked Trainspotting.. it has a movie ( it wasn't really big)... although I don't think I know anybody personally besides the one person to told me about to that has read it..


Well as you'd expect - Trainspotting, being set in Edinburgh was and still is a really big film in Scotland. Irvine Welsh is an incredibly popular author here. :) You are definetely not alone.

Although it was very grimily similar to the truth... Begbie really reminds me of my uncle Alec... nice as anything when he wants to be...

I ADORE Trainspotting. <3 Definetley affirmed, you're not alone.

Kafka. I'm all alone in my English class whenever he's mentioned. No one else shares the love. :{
