From the raging success that my favorite movies was... well I liked it. And from the title you might gather that I'm going tell you my favorite books. You don't want to read, well why are you reading this?
So here we go. Number five we have, this is odd. I can't think of one off the top of my head. I can think of the other four easy enough. But the fifth one is an odd one. Now that I think about it. Paper Towns, John Green. When I first read this I didn't like it because of the ending. I would quote something but I can't remember exactly what I said. But now that I think about it. It's real. You don't always get the girl. The ending encapsulates life better than a lot of Romance book's I've read. *Shrugs* I've read a few. Plus the story line was riveting and for my original problems with the very end the lead up to it was very well wrote.
Okey dokey. Here's the easier ones. Mort. Terry Pratchett.
Definitely one of the more funnier books I've ever read but I expect that from Terry Pratchett. The humor's my kind of humor. And you don't get many books with Death as a supporting character, let alone the depth that goes into this particular Death. And it had a happy ending. I'm a sucker for happy endings.
Three, Scarecrow, Matthew Reilly.
This is one of those seat of the pants adventures that never seems to let up for a minute. And I loved every Minute. I can sit down with this book and read it in one sitting. It's addictive, always a good quality in a book, something textbooks lack. And it features a tragic romance. The main character's girlfriend gets killed in a very brutal way. I didn't enjoy it but it was skillfully written and I had to admire the sequence for that.
Two is Christopher Paolini's Epic, Eragon.
Only the first book in the series. That's definitely my favorite out of the three soon to be four. I'm so stoked for the new book. Last in the series. But it makes you wonder what is he going to do after this? It wasn't as seat of the pants as Scarecrow. More like an adventure with set goals rather than run and gun your way out of situations. And the change of pace makes you think more. Plus it has twists and turns like anything. And reoccurring plot elements for days. I love that.
Now my number one favorite book ever (so far).
Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson.
To be honest I'm not sure why I read this book for the first time. I think it was to show people that I wasn't as scary as my imposing stature suggests. At least that was the reasoning I more think that it was because I had never read any romance novels and I wanted to. It was about imaginary friends, something I never had. True story I never had an imaginary friend. I was just that loner baby. And in kindy Mum would come to pick me up and I'd be sitting with the girls instead of playing in the sandpit. And No I'm not gay. That's the story. I don't remember this sitting with girls. So I can't ratify it. Anyway. I liked it because it had a happy ending. The guy got the girl and vice a versa. But the story wasn't realistic because it had imaginary friends in it. So it didn't matter that the ending wasn't true. It was just a great book, in my opinion. Of course other people may think it's garbage. But the people who read this should at least read Sundays at Tiffany's. I thought it was brilliant and your reading this so while I have your attention I'm going to promote my views.
That's all for now.
In the name of the Emperor, Finish this!
