Here you talk about your favorite books. From why you like it to (dunno). Just have fun talking about your favorite books.

Zachary (zdcrosby) | 35 comments Ready Player One bye Ernest Cline is my favorite book. The writing isn't spectacular and the characters seem cliché and dry every once and a while (but still very rarely). The reason it's my favorite book is the setting. Set in the future a wee bit but the culture is all 80's throwback. There's a gaming system that completely immerses the play in a world with thousands upon thousands of created worlds. The characters are searching for an easter egg in the game that is rumored to have the game creator's will with his money entitled to the finder of the easter egg.

The book mixes time in game, outside of the game, a little romance, retro gaming, and the 80's, among many other things. It's a hell of a thrill ride. The characters aren't perfect beautiful human beings so they're not cliché YA fiction characters. They have complex thought processes and the main character is a chubby boy, so that makes me happy. There's always something about connecting with characters and I connect on so many levels with the male lead in the book.

ALL SHOULD READ READY PLAYER ONE.

One of my top favorite book is Taking Off by Jenny Moss. I think it is very inspirational.

Joke | 3 comments I have a lot of favourites book but at the moment my top favourite is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
It's about World War II but not about the soldiers. It's about a little girl trying to survive the war. Her Mother is jewish but she doesn't know. She Gets adopted and her new father learns her reading. Trough war, she discovers the power of words and trough the words she stays a live.
I love this book because it is written in the perspective of the death. The death makes a few funny commets but Also a few who are heartbreaking.
This is not a book you read to feel better but to learn about life and the human beings.
If you ever see this book in the library or a bookstore, don't hesitate , read.

Elijah (TitularReader) | 5 comments The Man Who Was Thursday probably is -- no wait, The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin -- wait, Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo-san -- wait!

It's a very difficult question to answer, but I like it. It makes me reconsider what I found so profitable in reading those particular things. Currently? I don't know.
