Favorite novel?

on the road-jack kerouac

If you liked Fear and Loathing you should try For whom the bell tolls by Hemingway. Most of his stuff rocks.

EzRyder,
On the road? I always ment to read that just to see what all the fuss was about. Was it a good read?

I still enjoy the books, but I am getting highly pissed off with all the crappy movies, I don't understand why they are making them before the series is even complete. The are total crap and are bringing the whole series of books down in the process. I also remember not enjoying on of the latest books very much.

I can't tell you which one, they have all become one big blur at this point. Not to mention I would rather the books to be a little shorter so we wouldn't have to wait 2 yrs between each release...

+ all the rest of the books in the series.

As well as the brain jacques (sp?) redwall series, haven't read one of them in a few years but used to love them in middle/highschool.

ooooo I'm suprised anyone said that, it's a very good book

i remember when they first came out (the movies) the girl i was dating at the time wanted to go see the first one, so we went and saw it. i was pissed. i hate watching movies of books that i have read, totally ruins the book. i saw the first one and i havent seen any of them since.

i am a fan of the harry potter books though, but i think ol JK got a lot of her ideas from the Lord of the Rings. for instance, the dementors and the nazgul are pretty similar. the mirror that harrry looks in and sees his parents, there is something similar in the LOTR. i was talking about that with my sister, there are a few more examples that i cant remember at the moment.
