Title: Favorite Book
Post by: GUNINANRUNIN on September 19, 2012, 11:18:11 AM
Titles only, no commentary whatsoever, even if its "only" a short word on your own book. I will not tolerate any rule-breaking. Space-themed novels are encouraged, but any book will do. Books include, but are not limited to: Novels, anthologies, collections, short-stories, mangas, comics, eBooks, novellas, trilogies, sagas, etc.

You may include a single link to a summary if you wish. You may state an entire series as your choice if you cannot decide which of them you like most (Ex. Discworld). You may post multiple individual times, but never back to back. You may include the author's name. You may choose the same book as another poster, although original posts are encouraged.

Begin ---
Battletech: Pryde Trilogy

EDIT: The rules have been broken: Twice.

I love those! Have you started reading bortherband? they are so very, very good.

Favourite book? Too many, I just can't decide. Stone heart is good, Charlie Fletcher.

I also really really like "the last dragon chronicles" by Chris D'lacey.

It was in the OP. I'm sorry you never saw it. I thought most people looked at that before replying to threads.

Me, too. [-shrug-] When bumping into an unfamiliar thread I've never posted in previously, I like to read the OP in full; it's a good way to avoid complications.

Some of the literary choices that have been mentioned here are a real eye-opener. I look forward to updating my to-be-read list; thanks, folks. :)
