The Fault in Our Stars - John Green

My sister got me into this book, and I absolutely love it. It's very well written in my opinion and a great story. It had me in tears. Movie was pretty spot on as well :)

33 books! We are one third (more or less) of the way there! I'm trying to think of more stuff but not sure which. I need to finish some of what I already have going.

Clockwork Angel - Cassandra Clare

Such a good book and series. ^^ Not good at describing books, but this was a good one. Demons and angels, warlocks and vampires.. All of that ^^

Due to a classes I'm currently in:
Arthurian Legends and Pop Culture

I think the old stories of King Arthur are important because some of them are good and also because there are so many references made to the old legends of Arthur in stories since then.
The book I have on it is a school book but it has a collection of the stories translated
"The Romance of Arthur" edited by Lacy and Wilhelm
(This book is a translation of the stories so it's easier to understand, many of the stories within this book can be found online for free, however, online some of the stories aren't translated out of their Middle English or French versions of the story. Many stories are also written in Latin)-Still reading it for class- So far the stories of Sir Gawain seem to be the favorite of our class.

and one story that has been mentioned many times at school and even my friend mentioned it the other day to me was
"The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" by Robert A. Heinlein
Been told by at least 3 people within a month it is a really good book
-will have to read it sometime-



↳↓-will accept art requests-↓↲

I'll update the list soon, but remember at least one other book recommendation from another person needs to show up before the same user posts another one. :)

36. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson

Aesthetically the movie is quite similar minus a few things. One, he has no dog, but one does arrive. Two, he's not a a scientist. Three, his "legend" is radically different in the book (novella, really) and is, in my opinion, has more relevance to it than the film. The film protagonist's "legendary" status, really comes from his status as the film's hero, and they may as well just be used interchangeably. I'm not saying it's a crummy film, but that the title means so much less than it does in the book, in my opinion.

Yes, I agree. I've only read the wiki about the book, but it makes a lot more sense there.
I'm not very active right now, because of stuff. If you don't see me around and you really need to get hold of me, you can yell at me over at one of these places?

I did not know that. I'm curious about The Last Man On Earth, since it has Vincent Price.

I've heard of his stuff. I think he wrote Slaughterhouse 5?

Anything to say about it, besides that it's good? There are a lot of books out there, was there something that made it stand out?

Hero, Atatariel, there is a format for submitting books:

Number in list. Book Title

Review of the book. Give some information on its story (like you see on the back of books sometimes). Explain why you think this book is a must read.

I didn't know either. The only one I remember seeing on my wiki dive was the newest one. Now someday I have to look up the others. Thanks for sharing that info, Law!
