Muahahaha first post in the library.

So does anyone read actual books, if so what and do you have any absolute favourites?

I'll list mine later, I'm taking a nap.

I love reading. ^^ My favorite books are The Harry Potter series and the Princess Diaries. I can, and have, read them over and over. <33

I love reading, too. 3nodding

My friend has gotten me into reading real books again by telling me about some good ones. One book series she told me about is below my age group but it's good. It's called Among the Hidden. I need the next books... I also read the Fullmetal Alchemist novels if those count. And I've read the Gravitation novel as well. XD

I tried reading The Giver a while back but couldn't get far. Nor could I borrow it from the library... Should try to again.

I read The Giver oh...four or five years ago. I also read Gathering Blue. I stopped reading Harry Potter after #4 (which was also years ago), and I've never read the princess diaries.

Ok I've read a lot but I'll just point out some stuff.

Tamora Pierce: The Immortals, Song of the Lioness and Daughter of the Lioness.
David Eddings: The Belgarid, The Mallorean and Polgara and Belgarath the Sorcerer
Eoin Colfer: Artemis Fowl
Garth Nix: The Abhorsen Trilogy, The Seventh Tower
Piers Anthony: The Incarnations of Immoratlity, The Mode series, and a couple stand-alones
Kara Dalkey: Water
Douglas Adams: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Dirk Gentley's Holistic Detective Agency
Mercedes Lakey: The Queen's Owna and some other stuff

That's really it for any series in the past four years. I've read a LOT of other books more recently.

Some of them are:
The Colour Purple by Alice Walker
The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
The Poison Wood Bible by Barabara Kingsolver
Wicked by Gregory Maguire
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostava

Well I've managed to stop myself. I've read a lot more than that. I read mostly fantasy and teen books, some sci-fi, and historical fiction, and some just plain fiction.

I've read some Nora Roberts...don't think I ever actually finished a set.

Amon The Hidden...I've seen that around my library, I haven't read it though, and I think someone lost/stole that one.

I read alot of fantasy titles my favorite fantasy authour would have to b Brian Jacques he writes My favorite series "Redwall" there about woodland creatures living in medievil times, but they have human like qualities.People do not exist, and every story he makes is different, but somehow all of his stories intertwine with each other, like one story, could take place 100 years after one story, but he ends up using details from a prior story in it.

Oh, that's right. I used to love the anime series Case Closed and since they always talk about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I started getting interested in Sherlock Holmes. I read some of the books and a few short stories but it's been a while. I can't remember what happened. I believe I have the whole collection on my shelf though. Perhaps I'll start reading them again. This time in order, I hope...XD
