Did I mention the Claidi Journals series by Tanith Lee? Well, read them!
My namesake is the one you'll love to hate
Maybe it's because she's different--not the same
And such an identity satisfies my artistic brain...
I love King's Quest!
It's insane!

:D  My dad almost never reads for fun, but he loved that book.

Here are some of my favorites:

1) Anything by C. S. Lewis, especially Mere Christianity and Out of the Silent Planet

2) Lord of the Flies (most people seem to hate it, but I loved it in high school)

3) Waterlily (historical fiction concerning a Lakota woman)

There's more, but I can't recall them.

I'm sorry but I was forced to read Lord Of the Flies once and I hated it out of the obvious reasons that their main goal is to kill each other.

If I remember correctly, that wasn't their original goal.  At first, the boys wanted to work cooperatively, but everything fell apart because of the leader of the choir.

I agree, though; that book was very violent.  (Poor Piggy!  :'()

Writings from the european enlightenment are very interesting:  Immanuel Kant, David Hume, Anthony Cooper, and John Locke.  The whole slew of the feminist historians during that period are also intriguing.  The true modern woman was born from that group, they really were changing the world.
It's amazing to see the clash between the thinkers of the time and the founders of classical thought.  Two secular groups of people searching for the truth and never being satisfied.  Amazing.
I find the modern secular world much too pathetic these days, they can't even put up a fight that well.  I just run into a bunch of indoctrinated college students that just regurgitate what they've read and been told.

Oh, I'd be more than happy to regurgitate some of the junk my instructors and professors try to teach me.  At least then it'd be out of my system.  ;)

Really nice insight perspective about e-bussiness and such, another one I HAD to read... again... was:

Kotler, Phillip. (2001). Marketing Management. Pearson Education.

I had to read that exact same book last semester, though I think the one I read was a later edition. I actually emailed one of the authors to point out that the mascot for Kellogg's Frosted Flakes is Tony the Tiger (the textbook identified him as a lion).
Once the votes are read, the decision is final. The person voted out will be asked to leave the Tribal Council area immediately. I'll read the votes...

*revives* Funny, I have just been reading Hume, Locke and Descartes. Interesting works, I was expecting more from Descartes somehow. All he really did was establish he existed, then use the old ontological proof of the scholastics (starting wth Anslem) to reason out the existence of God.  Ingenious, but I was somehow expecting something more... original. Maybe expectations were too high by the time I actually read him. XD

More to follow later if I or anyone else cares, for now I have school to prepare for tomorrow.

I've read the original Dragonlance trilogy along with the trilogy about the twins, along with the books that have Mina(Mena?) in them. My facorite books for years have been all the Shannara novels by Terry Brooks. His first book was written in the 70s, and is kinda a stereotypical fantasy book (Sword of Shannara) so it may seem a little old when you read it, but he's improved his writing over the years. My FIRST fantasy novels were, of course, The Prydain Chronicles by Lloyd Alexander, who I just recentley learned died earlier this year :(

Right now I am actually not reading any fantasy, but instead I'm reading Red Dragon, the first book with Hannibal Lecter. I've seen all the movies and managed to pick up the book copies of Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal at a rummage sale. When I'm done I'm sure I'll pick up the prequel, Hannibal Rising.

I must say I have NEVER enjoyed an English class as much as I'm enjoying my Fantasy Lit class.
I wish my school had a fantasy lit class... that'd be awesome. They are offering a sci-fi class this winter term, but it's not the same and I have to take some fine arts class for a requirement anyways.

Everybody HAS to read The Wind on Fire Trilogy by William Nicholson:

-"The Wind Singer"
-"Slaves of the Mastery"
-"Firesong"
I read those a few months ago... Little too weird for me. :P

Right now I'm working my way through Feist's 24 Midkemia/Kelewan books, though the fact that neither my home public library system nor the one here at school has some of the books is making it a bit difficult. :P Right now I'm on Servant of the Empire, with 19 more to go.
