Murder on the Orient Express is the best murder mystery ever.
Agatha Christie is amazing. ^_^ And I do like that one, but I actually prefer And Then There Were None and The ABC Murders. 4.50 To Paddington was pretty good too! I'm really into mysteries ^^*
I also love the Blue is for Nightmares series, by Laurie Faria Stolarz.

Oh dear me, someone dislikes your taste, no need to defend it really, each person have their own taste in things and unless you are insecure enough to allow a faceless Internet fiend(which is what we all are really to most other people) destroy that with a few words then go ahead, feel defensive. Well, that said, 'it sucks' is hardly an argument, do not get too upset right?
I read about 4 pages of Hitchhikers and put it down. I preferred the cheap yet funny TV series.
The Hobbit was nice clean fun for a child on summer holiday without alcohol to wash away the days.
I remember liking Boy: Tales of Childhood and Going Solo - Roald Dahl as a child, a semi-fictious tale from Dahl's childhood and as a young adult.

Oh, I don't mind. I respect other's opinions. (They'll just be crucified on the pogo stick with the Godot haters.)

Oh man, SUCH a good book. I still think it is the pinnacle of History of Philosophy writing, although I'm sure I'm going to get crucified if I say that in any of my classes next year :D. Jostein Gaarder's other ones are quite good as well, although they're all equally as weird and wonderful and full of very strange plot devices.
The hands-down best way to experience Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, in my not-so-humble opinion, is to get hold of the radio series- it's how it was originally written, and it's a really entertaining way to get into it- plus, it doesn't use quite so many brain cells, which is always a plus! The books are also good though, obviously.
Also, I don't know how well-represented the British are in this place (or if this is a British "thing"), but is anybody else a Jasper Fforde fan? If not, I highly recommend you pick up a copy of the Eyre Affair and become one, it is all kinds of awesome.

I like The Solitaire Mystery. It's very confusing though, I reread it twice before I got it. Then again, I was twelve at the time. xD

-House of Leaves by Mark Danielwski, which is in large part a book about a movie that doesn't exist. Though it would be awesome if said movie did exist. Either way, it's pretty hard to explain seeing as you can't get text to go upside-down and all that good stuff on this forum.
-Only Revolutions, also by Mark Danielwski, which is even harder to explain so I won't even try.
-and God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy, which is just... awesome. Amazingly, no supernatural events or anything happen, but there are still definitely interesting things that happen.
The Kiesha'ra, a series by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, is really good. Based on shapeshifters.
Also, the Avatars series by Tui T. Sutherland, which probobly none of you have heard of, is one of my favorites.
I also have the unique condition of having read teh Twilight sereis and neither hating it nor loving it.

Ah, one of my favorites. I love anthropomorphic novels in general actually. In addition to Watership Down, some of my other favorite books are:
The Redwall series by Brian Jaques (the first 13 or so books though, I lost interest afterwards)
The Sight by David Clements-Davies (wolf fantasy ftw)
His Dark Materials trilogy by Phillip Pullman
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende (I adore the movie, but the book was SO much better)
Most of Jane Austen's work
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Roots by Alex Haley (absolutely brilliant, I cried a few time while reading it)
1984 and Animal Farm by George Orwell
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
There are more, but that's all I can think of at the moment. In terms of what I'm reading now, I'm currently going through an abnormal psychology casebook. I'm reading about people with Depressive disorders, Post-Traumatic stress, male erectile disorders, etc. Interesting stuff, though some of the cases can get quite gruesome...

My favorite book of all time would have to be "The World According to Garp" by John Irving. I don't know what it is about John Irving, but I seem to like all of his books. I think one thing that draws me to them is the fact that he doesn't write particularly eloquently; he decides to tell you a story, and tell it he does, usually from birth to death. "The World According to Garp" was the first book of Irving's that I ever read, and I still hold it in higher regard than all of his others (though "A Prayer for Owen Meany" is a close second). "Garp" has an extremely heavy emphasis on the topic of lust. If you pay attention, you'll notice that almost everything that happens in this book is driven by lust, or some subconcious lustful desire or connection. Other than covering a rather deep subject matter, "Garp" can be genuinely moving at times, and you grow attached to the weird assortment of characters, including (but not limited to) a football-player turned transvestite, a group of tongueless women, a man who his his genetalia severed in a car wreck, and Garp's steadfastly anti-sexual female activist mother.
I'd give both of them a read if you feel like you're up to it. ICB is made interesting by the fact that it's entirely non-fiction but is written in a fiction style, while TWATG is really just a good book.

One of them, which is about immigrants coming to america, features a young man falling in love with a 19 year old redhead with a pink frock, and large, doe-like eyes. (Sounds familiar...?) Who turns out to be a vampire, who has basically made people lifeless as she has bitten them all, saving the young man till last.
There is also one about killer snails. (THEY WILL EAT YOUR FLESH.) It is a verry creeepy story.

Second fave book of all time.
I have NEVER read or atched any Lord of the Rings things, so I decided to take the first book out of the library. Slow starts bore me. >_>
Anyone got any good fiction books they'd like to recommend?

- Collected Short Stories by Roald Dahl. Not a kiddie book; they're short stories, often with a twist at the end.
- The Judas Strain by James Rollins.
Blade Satoshi X: If you liked Animal Farm, then you should probably read 1984 by the same author.

Murder on the Orient Express is the best murder mystery ever.
I just handed that in to the library yesterday. That was a good read. Have you read Hercule Poirot's Chistmas? I've finished the Secret Garden, I'm re-reading Suagr Rush and I love City Of Thieves by Davis Benioff. Anyone read The Host? I think that's much better than Twilight. Yesterday I brought Pool side which as some stories and it's waterproof, lol I want to read that. I brough The Magic Flute by Alan Spence too. And I'm on chapter four of Ibiza Summer.

I like Oliver Twist. I remember reading the book ages ago and the musical was brilliant. I might consider re-reading it at some point. My mum bought me this book which has a really cute cover to it and I think it's gonna be a fun book. It's called Schoolgirl Milky Crisis. I'm gonna read it after I've finished Sugar Rush - I'm halfway through that.
Who hear likes Larsson?
And I feel naughty so I'm going to read my Gay erotica anthology.
