Favorite book

[rhino44]

I love to read. When im stoned I get lost in a book for an hour or two and forget about everything else and let my imagination wonder. I think reading sparks the brain and keeps it sharp.

I just reread my favorite book. "Rebels In Blue" It's about a young couple(Keith and Malinda Blaylock) in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the civil war. Keith Blaylock is the Bare Knuckle boxing champ of the Blue Ridge and everyone is kinda scared of him. They get sucked into fighting for the confederacy and when they get a chance they go to the northen lines and fight for the Union.

They lead small raiding parties back into the Blue Ridge and raid and murder confederates. especially ones they had a beef with before the war.This sparks a lifelong hatred between families. They are both shot multiple times in their excursions. The most serious being when Keith gets shot in the eyes with a musketball. He survives and continues fighting with one eye.

That description doesn't do that book justice but anyway what is your favorite book of all-time?

I read part of Aztec but never got around to the full thing.

I love reading, im into mostly fantasy, my favorite book of all time though i think is Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. Please dont say the movie sucked so the book most of sucked, the only the similar between the two are the character names. The book is amazing and never gets old for me and ive read it like 5 times.

Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me.
written by Richard Farina.

before hippies were hippies and paregoric-dipped pall malls were easier to find than herb, there was Gnosos Papadopolis.
i won't even go into the story, but i read a LOT and this is the one book i read at least once a year.

yes I love to read books too, have read many but for all vampire novel readers ..... and I have read pretty much anyof them that deserve it The best one I liked was Slave of my Thirst by Tom Holland , hes a Lord Byron scholar and in my opinion edges out of Anne Rices very good but repetative lapses to historic times and Homosexuality. His first book well the first one I read of his is called Lord Of the Dead and the main Character is Lord Byron Himself.


Ohh yeah also cant forget Clive Barker hes my other most favorite Author, do yourself a favor and pick up the best book for flexing the imagination...called , The Fugue.
