So this one is a little late, but better late than never! I decided to go with my top 5 favorite books this week, mostly because I might be running out of ideas, lol. Anyways, here they are (though I don’t really read too much to be honest). You should check these books out and go read them!
5. Fudge-A-Mania
was my favorite book when I was a little kid. If you did not read Judy Blume when you were little, you either were not born in the early 80s or were really deprived.
4. Dark Tower Series
A great series. I have not made much time to read in the past few years unfortunately. I need to reread this series, because the seventh book came out in the last few years. I am waiting basically until I get them all in a box set basically, and hopefully in paperback (I like paperback books better).
3. Bagombo Snuff Box
I really enjoy Kurt Vonnegut’s witty sarcasm. This book has a bunch of short stories that are just classic. If you haven’t read this, you should. The short stories make for good reading when you don’t want to commit a bunch of time to reading a longer book.
2. The Talisman
A collaboration between Stephen King and Peter Straub, this is a really interesting book. I enjoy the parallels between the two worlds and I think it definitely a great read.
1. Ender’s Game
This is my favorite book of all time. Card actually wrote 4 boks in this “Ender’s Series” and then wrote this book from a different character’s view point and wrote a series for that character. It really is just a phenominal series. It is a science fiction book, and to be honest, I am not a big fan of science fiction. It does not matter though here, it is just too good of a book for you not to like it if you are open minded about reading it!
Nice. I’m with you on a couple entries…Ender’s Game and Dark Tower. I read at least one other book in the Ender series, but nothing else he wrote came close to this one, IMO. I loved the first books in the Dark Tower series, but it went downhill, as if he just wanted to make sure that he got them finished. Some interesting parallels to his other books, and I think that I read that the DT series was really his foundation for most of the stuff he wrote. I should read more King, then come back to this one. If you have not read The Stand, you might want to check it out.
