Hero of Twilight

I actually can't think of a favorite book, cause I've read a bunch of great ones. My favorite authors would have to be Tracy Hickman, Margaret Weis, and J.R.R. Tolkien. Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis created the awesome Dragonlance series. I also just finished the second book of Tracy and Laura Hickman's new series (well, there's two out right now, I don't know how many there will be in total), Mystic Quest. The first one is called Mystic Warrior, and both are great books. And of course, J.R.R. Tolkien created the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and I've also read the Silmarillion and am currently reading The Shaping of Middle-Earth: The Quenta, The Ambarkanta, and The Annals.

So...what are your favorite books and authors?

i'm with you on both of those. i can never seem to have enough dragonlance books, because the more you read, the more of the plot you know, and to complete the never-ending plots, you must get more books. for example, afterreading the Second Generation, i can start reading about five other books to find out what happenes to Palin, Tanin, Sturm, Steel, Gil, and Raistlin's Daughter.

yeah, Lemony Snickett is a great author, and his books are suspenseful and funny. i own the whole series (so far).

also, another one of my favorite books is 'The Alphabet of Manliness' by Maddox. this book is cynically funny and has many truths in it. i may quote it some time on the forum.

Yeah, I just finished the Series of Unfortunate Events, and it left TONS of questions unanswered! But it was still a good book. The Beatrice Letters contains many hints to those questions though, as does Lemoney Snicket: the Unauthorised Autobiography.
As for my favorite books and authors, I'd have to say David and Leigh Eddings are my favorite authors, and thier series The Belgariad and its following series, The Mallorean are wonderful books that are written beautifly. Belgarath comes from these.
I have to say Dragonlance is a great series as well. I just finished the War of Souls and Dragons of the Dwarven Deepths, and they were great (though not as good as the origanal trilogy).
Well, I think I've taken up enough space for now.

yeah, i just finished war of souls too. how's dragons of a dwarven depths? it looks pretty good. and i need to read the last book in a series of unfortunate events, which just came out.

Dragons of the Dwaven Deepths is ok, but not nearly as good as the main series. But the last book in the Lost Chronicles, Dragons of the Hourglass Mage, sounds really good.

I've never read Harry Potter, don't plan to >.>
I have to read another book to finish my reading requirement, and I chose For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway. It is pretty good so far (page 348 and counting, there's 495), and the action's starting to really unfold. I can see why Hemingway is as famed as he is. It tells a good story with deep meanings and stuff.
I dunno how I'm gonna get ahold of Dragons of a Vanished Moon...it's not in my local library, though it's in the library chain, of course...

Read Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger. That's quite possibly the best book ever written.

<.< Mr. Hartley, when he approved my book, said it was one of the greatest books ever written.
Oh yeah, I thought Mr. Hartley said that he knew the author of Catcher in the Rye or something.

Harry Potter is a good series, but you have to be into it to really enjoy it.
Also, you can probably order Dragons of a Vanished Moon (War of Souls rocks by the way) at Barnes and Noble. If you don't want to by it, though, then your probably out of luck unless someone loans it to you.
Also a great book, though everyone has probably read it already, is ENDERS GAME. Great, great, great book.
