| Post subject: | Post your reading list |
The title says it all. Post a list of all the books you've read. (Bigger job for some people than others, I know. =P) Here is my list, favorites generally toward the top. As you'll note, I'm an avid Fantasy reader. The Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb. These three books are brilliant and a must read. Robin Hobb is a very gifted writer, and while some of her other works tend to have a weird neo-native American/magical setting, the Farseer books are jewels of straight High Fantasy. Her characterization is incredible, the world is intriguing, but most of all, the whole feel and setting of the books, coupled with and created by her writing style, is amazing. Highly recommended. All of the Pern books, by Anne McCaffery. These are definitely my second all-time favorite books. Although if you're going to read them, you really should read them all, as they are all part one story. (I hardly ever think of them in terms of individual books.) It's a mix of fantasy/Sci-fi, but don't let that put you off, they are all excellent stories and well written. The Song of Albion Series, by Stephen Lawhead. Very good books, recommended. My favorite of his. Dune, by Frank Herbert. Dune, well, who hasn't read Dune? A must read if you never read Sci-Fi again. In short: Classics. The Balgariad, The Malloreon, The Elenium and The Tamuli, but David Eddings. Quantity over quality, right? Eddings isn't the best writer in the world, but the stories are good. It's hard to put them down. The Wheel of Time, by Robert Jordan. They're only down here because I haven't read them all yet. Good books, alot of reading. The Pendragon Cycle, by Stephen Lawhead. Good books. Tarzan, by Edgar Rice Borroughs. (They aren't down here because I dislike them, they're just a different type.) All 24 for them. If you ever see them at used book stores, get them. Classics. A must read. The Mars books, also by Edgar Rice Borroughs. Also very good books. Don't be fooled by disreputable covers; they are entirely decent and well written. The Land that Time Forgot, also by Edgar Rice Borroughs. This is a stand-alone, and his best book in my opinion. Novel-length. The Arthurian Saga, by Mary Stewart. More books on Arthur, very good. Also check out Mary Stewart's mysteries. The Gabriel Hounds is very good. Timeline and Sphere, by Micheal Crichton. Stand-alones, good books. Brother Cadfael, by Ellis Peters. Theres a bunch of them, all good. Beowulf. Everyone should read this. Ender's Game [And Co.], by Orson Scott Card. Also a must read. All of his books are very good. There's is probably more that I forgot, but those are off the top of my head. |

If I listed every book I've ever read it will take hours so I'll just list what I can see on my bookshelf in my bedroom which are the books which I don't want my mother to chuck out... (she's having a bit of a chucking out session and the 1,500+ books we have in the house are the first to suffer  ...)
The Boudica Series by Manda Scott - Best books in the world The Crystal Skull by Manda Scott The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, Roverandom by J.R.R Tolkien Also on my bookshelf but haven't had time to read yet are: The Silmarillion (started it yesterday), Book of Lost Tales part 1&2, The People of Middle-earth, The Unfinished Tales (I have read some of it), The Children of Húrin, Tree and Leaf, Smith of Wootton Major, The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth and A Guide to Tolkien by David Day - all thanks the the wonder that is the Oxfam Bookshop (baring Children of Húrin and People of Middle-earth) Warlord Chronicles (Arthurian Legends) Most of the Sharpe novels The Alfred the Great (Viking) series The Grail Quest trilogy Fallen Angel all by Bernard Cornwall Chronicles of Ancient Darkness (those published) by Michelle Paver Tales of the Otori by Lian Hearn The Angel Mountain Saga by Brian John. (Set around the place where I go on holiday every year and am going tomorrow! )

The Odyssey by Homer (Read for college) Medea, Electra, and The Bacchae by Euripides (Read for college) The Acharnians, The Knights, The Wasps, Peace and Lysistrata by Aristophanes (Some read for college, others read just for the sake of it - although I will probably be reading them for college) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë Persuasion, Northanger Abbey, Pride and Prejudice and Emma by Jane Austen.

Wales: History of a Nation by David Ross I Never Knew That About Ireland by Christopher Winn Irish Studies: A General Introduction by Thomas Bartlett and Chris Curtin The Ode Less Travelled by Stephen Fry Harry Potter by JK Rowling (What teenager doesn't have HP?  )
And that (baring my Irish and Welsh language courses) is what's on my bookcase in my bedroom... Books that I can remember reading... Arthurian Saga by Mary Stewart (Not a patch on Bernard Cornwall's series) A number of the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett and also The Carpet People and Good Omens. The Various and Celandine by Steve Augarde. Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife and the Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. Magician's House Quartet by William Corlett One of the Brother Cadfael books by Ellis Peters. Only read it because it's set where I live... Narnia series by CS Lewis The Famous Five by Enid Blyton... The best children's author ever... Love her Also read many of her other books... Magic Faraway Tree is really good as well
And that's as many as I can remember for now.... |
