The Third Policeman by Flann O'brien. Fantastic! Strange, funny, clever, well written. |
|
Hmmm. I have not read any of those. |
|
Wow - sooo many good books. |

Hey pj if you want to read a fantasy book better than LOTR then read the Shannara series, I absolutely love The Hobbit but The Voyage of The Jerle Shannara DESTROYS it 1/10, im not even close to joking. But you have to be patient in the beginnings cause it tells the prologue, sort of. |

Thank you for the recommendation! |

The Book of Mormon |

the blood meridian by cormac mccarthy. |

I can't just pick one, it's gotta be split by genre in some way... |

Go forth and read... Hmm, the ones that first spring to mind have been taken. I'm hard pushed to beat Enders Game. |

The Hobbit is not flawed! It beats the Lord of the Rings by far simply for its elusive fantasy nature. In the Lord of the Rings series it's a straight out story about the war of the Ring. In the Hobbit it's an intriguing fantasy tale where everything is hidden - things are spoken of lightly that hint at great events and such but they are kept within an elusive wrap that keeps intrigue present. |
|
I was very happy to have read them as well. I'm not a big book reader, but after watching the second movie, I couldn't wait for the third movie to come out. Since I worked at a bookstore at the time, I bought, and read The Hobbit and LOTR in a few months, before the third movie came out. Great books! |

Hawaiian....nuff sed.
Tolkien himself would have said otherwise, and in fact had to go back and do some changing to make The Hobbit more consistent with what would come after it. The Hobbit was a beginning. "Flawed" doesn't make it a bad book... it just isn't in the same league as the rest of 'em. |

OH how could I forget: The Catcher in the Rye, by Salinger. That was a great read. |
|
Dune is probably the best book I've read to date. I've only read the first three books, but I fully intend to read at least the next two. |
