Listing your favourite pornstars over and over again gets tiresome after a while. So instead, just thought we'd list something more... enlightening:). Would also really like to know some of you guys' favourites. Mine are:

1. The Stand by Stephen King
2. The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough
3. Dune by Frank Herbert.
4. Destiny by Sally Beauman
5. Wayside School Is Falling Down by Louis Sachar
 
Don't read much except Maxim, haaa. I'm actually re-reading 1984 cus im getting back into this whole government conspiracy stuff again. But my alltime favourite book is "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More" by Roald Dahl. Kind of elementary I know but this book is awesome.
 
Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach
No One Here Gets Out Alive - Sugarman/Hopkins
Night Shift - Stephen King
Salem's Lot - Stephen King
Go Dog Go - P.D. Eastman (the book that taught me to read)
 
1.Thus spoke Zarathustra by F W Nietzsche
2. Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse
2. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk
3. 1984 by George Orwell
4. a Language Older Than Words (non-fiction) by Derrick Jensen
5. Into the Wild (non-fiction) by John Krakauer

Not necessarily my all time top favorites, but those would all definately be on my top 20. I picked the first 4 right off the op of my head and I gave a little bit of thought to the fifth. some other contenders included classic books, and some underpraised modern gems, but I decided to follow through on the theme of questing for personal enlightenment and revolution.
 
1. The Silmarillion
2. Nárn Í Chín Húrin
3. Slash
4. The Book of Lost Tales I
5. The Book of Lost Tales II

I read this book like 12 years ago and it's one of his Roald Dahl's best IMO. Can't remember the other stories but do remember the main story of a man who becomes a yoga master so as to cheat at ********:) And isn't there one recalling his experiences at boarding school?
 
1. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
2. Test of the Twins by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
3. Homeland by R.A. Salvatore
4. The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract by Bill James
5. "Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman by Harlan Ellison (Technically this is short story.)
 
I have way too many favorites. Here are five of them:

City of Golden Shadow (Otherland) by Tad Williams
Homeland (Dark Elf Trilogy) by R.A. Salvatore
Dragon Wing (Death Gate Cycle) by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
Neuromancer by William Gibson
 
The Bible (god)
War and Peace (Leo Tolstoy)
Moby Dick (Herman Melville)
Tails of the City (Tom DeVincentis)
Gone with the Wind (Margaret Mitchell )
 
I don't really want to get into a whole big thing here.. but, like it's one thing to think that everything that the bible says is 100% true, but do you honestly believe that it was literally written by God, Fresno?

I mean it's not like it came out all at once in one volume, ya know? it covers a pretty big span of time, so was it like serialized by God where he'd fax down to earth a copy on some parchment paper to whoever, every time that a new book came out, and was it always the same guy? I mean how could they find all the different books and know exactly the order that they came out in, it must have been. but that guy must have gotten pretty old and died by the time they all came out, so I guess he had to have ****** them down to his descendants. kinda odd that it doesn't mention anything about that in the bible, that seems kind of an important thing for people to know about.
 
My top five in no particular order:

1. A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius - David Eggers
2. 1984 - George Orwell
3. The Fuck Up - Arthur Nersesian
4. Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's ********* Pal - Christopher Moore
5. Wicked - Gregory Maguire
