In order to continue our tradition of "favourite object" topics - what's your favourite book? You may mention more than one if you want to, it is simply impossible to sort out "the one and only". I need your answers, I've run outta good stuff to read...

my favourites would be:
Douglas Coupland - Generation X
Ernest Hemingway - A Farewell To Arms
Francis Scott Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby

and of course...
Douglas Adams - The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

Yes, that IS a good book Vigilante, here's my favorites

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Robert A. Heinlein
Cryptonimicon - Neal Stephenson
Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson
Diamond Age - Neal Stephenson
The Lord of the Rings trilogy. - J.R.R. Tolkein
1984 - Orson Wells

Couple of those are classics, but they're classics for a reason . Yeah, just about any Heinlein you can pick up is good, and also Lois McMaster Bujold's "Miles" series aren't bad.

"I've read books like The Unbearable Likeness of Being, and Love in the Time of Cholera, and I like to think that I've understood them. They're about girls, right? . . . just kidding. But I have to say that my all time favorite book is Johnny Cash's autobiography Cash by Johnny Cash." (movie anyone?)

But really:
Johnny Got His Gun - Dalton Trumbo
Waiting for Godot - Samuel Beckett
Eye of the Dragon - Stephen King
Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Freidrich Nietzsche
Slaughterhouse Five, Mother Night - Kurt Vonnegut

Hrm... Book or b00x0rz is definately the EXACT same subject. What I'd like to be able to do is the MERGE the two threads. By closing one, it assumes that when this thread dies, they'll bring back THIS one. But most likely is that a NEW book thread will start later on, and then we'll just have TWO closed book threads (and an open one that everyone forgets about). ETC.

My point is, if by some small chance someone DOES reserect one of the 2 threads later on... it really wouldn't matter which one.

MABEY we need a thread directory... like:

code:

Media
-Music
--Making
--CDs
--Napster
--Suggestions
-Movies
--Favorite
--Independent
--Specific titles
-TV
--Shows
--Cartoons
Litterature
-Books
--Favorite
--General
-Plays
Body
-Farts
--Pyrotecnics
-Ass
--Enimas
--General
-Boobs
--kuru's boobs
--celebrity boobs
...etc...

And it would have links to all the theads and stuff... that way people could look for old topics before they start a thread.
