Which books have you read?

[Athryl]

Like others, way too many to actually list them all! I recently registered at goodreads to track some of my reading (not for the social aspect so much) and have 102 listed/rated there and it's far from complete. I guess I will just pick a few favorites...

Any of the Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey - I don't read them so much now but they are a big part of what got me into fantasy.

The Physician and Shaman by Noah Gordon

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas

A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin although I've not finished the series yet.

Earth's Children series by Jean Auel - mostly Clan of the Cave Bear although I have read all of them.

Almost anything by Jules Verne because I love that classic sci-fi! Especially 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

All of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon

All except the last of the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris

The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

and so many more! Right now I am reading The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley but I am not loving it. Also about to start the second book in the Expanse series by James S. A. Corey. I liked the first one so we'll see how that goes. Also just finished The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and enjoyed it enough to check out the second as well.

If Audio Books count ( I have a 2 hour commute...)

I have Finished The Last Command  The Third book in star war's Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn.

I'm Probably going to relisten to Leviathan  By Scott Westerfeld

I could always use more suggestions. 2 hours is an annoying amount of commute.

Scanning through this I'm amazed no one has brought up Goodreads.com

Absolute best site for books. I found out a book i loved as a teen got 7 sequels i didnt know about.

Using that site my read shelf showd hundreds of books and growing.

Favorite author would be Michael crichton. I was so distraught when he died.

Oh man, I couldn't possibly list them all, but going off my Goodreads...

I did, I did! I love Goodreads! We should add each other. I love adding people on other sites, haha.

I mentioned it too! It is a pretty cool site, didn't unmask any hidden sequels for me but has brought some good recommendations in for sure.

I am also listening to an audiobook The Third Gate but only when I go for walks and such. I have trouble paying attention to audiobooks for some reason. I have the first two books of the Codex Alera  series by Jim Butcher on hold as audiobooks at my library too. I've been wanting to read them for a long time so hopefully they will hold my interest better than my current one.

Hmmm, maybe I need to check this Goodreads out.

I wouldn't be able to provide a full list (and I'm sure it would bore people even more than this post is going to), but most of my reading is horror/fantasy-type stuff, which is also what I tend to write. A lot of my focus has been on older (pre-WWII) works in the genre. There are well over a hundred such authors whose work I've tried. In particular I've read a lot of fiction by R. H. Barlow, Ambrose Bierce, Algernon Blackwood, John Buchan, Robert W. Chambers, Arthur Conan Doyle, Lord Dunsany, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Lafcadio Hearn, William Hope Hodgson, Robert E. Howard, M. R James, Rudyard Kipling, H. P. Lovecraft, Arthur Machen, Barry Pain, Edgar Allan Poe, Sax Rohmer, M. P. Shiel, Clark Ashton Smith, Bram Stoker, and Edward Lucas White. Recently I've expanded my fantasy/horror/sci-fi horizons to more modern authors like Robert Aickman, Ramsey Campbell, Michael Crichton, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Fritz Leiber, and others.

Book/story series I've read all or most of include Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, Sax Rohmer's Fu Manchu novels, S. J. Rozan's Lydia Chin / Bill Smith mysteries, Robert E. Howard's Conan, Kull, Solomon Kane, and Bran Mak Morn stories, C. L. Moore's Northwest Smith stories, Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels, C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, and Marc Cerasini's Godzilla novels.

Then there's the usual smattering of random stuff picked up, either by inclination or as a school assignment (I've tended to like the books I've been assigned to read - the subsequent schoolwork not so much). A sampling miscellaneous books includes Watership Down, Winesburg, Ohio, The Last Unicorn, Ender's Game, And Then There Were None, The Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, The Scarlet Letter, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Call of the Wild, Death of a Salesman, The Things They Carried, various Shakespeare plays, Around the World in Eighty Days, The Castle of Otranto, The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, miscellaneous stuff by Robert Louis Stevenson, a couple Tennessee Williams plays, The House of a Thousand Candles by Meredith Nicholson, The Phantom of the Opera, Frankenstein, The Picture of Dorian Gray, various ancient Greek dramas and comedies, and Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.

As for non-fiction, I typically stick to stuff that appeals to my imagination, which means a lot of it is on debatable subjects like the paranormal, cryptozoology, etc. Books about historical events can also be fun.

for myself I read a lot of book but this specially french canadian book such as the emeral knight of Anne robbillard

but I doubt most of these title are know from the english communuty :/

 

[Athryl]

That is kind of creepy! It's not my usual genre, but it's a good audiobook for me as I get distracted so easily with audiobooks. I think I am almost done with it (chapter 28 out of I don't know how many).

I am goodreads.com/athryl although I admit I have not used the social side of things just rated books and looked at recommendations!

 

[markjacks]

50 Shades of Grey, just my all time favorite. 

 

[captainproton]

Now THAT's the creepy one.

 

[Traveling Bard]

I've read most of the dresden files series, all of the harry potter series, more game design & development books than i care to name, and several self help books to get over anxiety. Highly recommend 'Feeling Good' for those suffering from depression or panic attacks. Helped me out with night driving panic attacks. And for anyone interested in magic + modern day + mysteries, for the love of all that is good in this world pick up the Dresden Files series.

@Mel, Broken Sky!! That takes me back to my highschool days lol you just made me order them off amazon, fyi. Always wondered if the series went further than part 1 & 2...  

 

[captainproton]

I LOVE Jim Butcher's books. I've read all the Dresdens at least once, and the Codex Alera series, too. And I've met both Jim and his wife, and they're super awesome, nice people.

Just finished Third Gate yesterday. I enjoyed it. I can see that Child brings structure where as Douglas Preston brings the craziness to their joint projects.
