When I was weak, unable to speak,
still I could call You by name,


Hey

This is a place where we can talk about authors, books, and the like (as the title says)!
If you have a recommendation (or a warning against) any books or authors, feel free to discuss it here!

I guess I'll make the first go ^^

I'm reading a book called Black. It's by Ted Dekker, who is most well known for his suspense-thriller book && movie Three.

I find that he is an amazing author! I mos def recommend any of his books, they'll be great even if I haven't read them. He writes fantasy, horror, suspense, and thriller. His writing technique is perfect for this, since he's excellent at giving imagery!
Mos def check him out if you're interested in his genre!

I'm not really big on the Harry Potter stuff, cuz I'm not very big on whichcraft/warlock type stories usually

We All Fall Down is basically about a creepy guy who tries to get revenge on some kids who put a girl in a coma. He's crazyyy
There's aloot more to it. I don't want to ruin it incase you read it xD


The Catcher in the Rye is kinda about a kid called Holden. Just his life from when he gets kicked out of college..
I just love the way the character thinks & how he says things, don't know why ahha.
I had to read that in school.

I'm bad at explaining stuff.

Hmm well my favorite book is in fact a trilogy... they also made a movie.
The Golden Compass, it's just so good. The first book is a little bit childish but it just makes the 2 last books even better.

My second favorite is 'Les saisons de Violetta' which I can translate to 'Violetta's Seasons' but I don't think it's the title in english >.<

And then, one of my favorite author is Guy DesCars, if you haven't heard of him I recommend 'La vipère' 'The Viper' I guess the name is the same in english.
His writing style is really unique. A bit twisted, but in a good way!

Voila.

I love reading, I should read more often :/

"Pride is the mother who is pregnant with all the other sins"
That means humility is the greatest virtue.


Those books sound good ^^
Except for the Golden Compass >> I hated the movie, so I don't think I'd like the books XD

Well, the movie had potential, but I could really feel the hate toward Christianity in it (which the author of the book actually intended for)

And the whole demon stuff just did it over for me XD I think the idea that everyone has their own demon is silleh XD
