The Hunger Games and Catching Fire were amazing (I haven't read Mockingjay yet :( ). Those two are probably tied for the top, but maybe its just because I read them recently. Some others are The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Animal Farm, The Time Traveler's Wife, 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, Gimmeacall, Flowers for Algernon, the Twilight series, the House of Night series, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, The Notebook, Tales of an Urban Werewolf, The Lovely Bones, Elsewhere, Blood Lies, Prey, the Artemis Fowl series, and plenty more.

Heh, no problem :P Most of them are YA books and some are extremely YA, so if you don't like YA books I would avoid a good half of them :blush:

young adult (im assuming is YA) is my favoritee. ill need to go get these checked out or somethingg. thanks once again!

Then you'll definitely love most of them. I especially like The House of Night, because in the earlier books where the relations between humans and vampyres (yes its spelled that way) is a bigger theme I can relate to them alot being trans and all.

Dude, I love Steinbeck!

Of mice and men is one of my fave books of all time. Steinbeck is great. :)

I've been reading a book called Lonesome Dove. I think it's another fave.

most books by Karen Rose I like too.

And Ted Dekker Books.

One of my all-time favorite books is Stephen King and Peter Straub's "Black House". I read that book so many times as a kid my copy is literally falling apart but I can't bring myself to buy a new one, it's just got way too many memories. Recently, I've also added Poppy Z Brite's "Exquisite Corpse" to the list. I love everything of her's I've read, I think she's just a fantastic writer. And "The Dresden Files". I hate fantasy almost indescriminately, but it's my favorite series ever. And, oddly enough, 'The Great Gatsby'.

When I was 12 I LOVED Brian Jacques Redwall series!

Just thought it was so cute!

Plus I have always thought eurasian badgers are adorable, and they were the wisest and strongest warriors in this series(like most badgers in fiction really)

Before then Goosebumps were all the rage. They were huge!

I have a couple that I really liked.

To Kill A Mockingbird

Lord Of The Flies

These two are probably my favorite books that I have read. They kept me into the story all the way through. That is hard to do for me since I have a very short attention span when it comes to reading books. I usually start one and never finish it.

I read basically anything, really. Particularly anything by Terry Pratchett, Garth Nix, or Edgar Allen Poe - love those guys. Favorite book of all time would have to be Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman.

My favourite book is The Mammoth Cheese by Sheri Holman, which I'm going to summarize for you since I assume most people haven't read it. It's the story of a woman who runs a small dairy farm in present-day Virginia, while trying to raise her teenaged daughter faithfully to her old-fashioned values. But the daughter grows dangerously close to her subversive history teacher, their small town is ravaged by the media when a neighbour gives birth to eleven children at once, and all the while her farm is on the brink of foreclosure after too many generations of sinking slowly into debt. Her only hope is a candidate for the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, who promises debt forgiveness to owners of small farms. The story is brilliantly told, weaving history into politics into a touching, personal story.

Do I have to pick one?

If I must pick one...

Dune. In hindsight, Paul was mostly likely transgendered in my opinion. Or may be I'm attributing that to him, hehe.

Other books...

The rest of the Dune books, and I do think Brian and Kevin have done Frank well and not ruined the series. Most anything from Charles Stross. Isaac Asimov is classic. Ben Bova, albeit very linear, but still really good. Can I say nerd books? Calculus by Spivak is top notch. The Feynmann series for his intro to physics is up there too. The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene.

My favorite book is - get ready for a shameless plug - "Poems From A Transgendered Heart" by me - available from Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble!

Love ya,

Sally

I still love Douglas Adams and all of his work.

Well I'll start out by saying my favorite author is H. P. Lovecraft. If you haven't heard of him, please do look him up, he's pretty extraordinary in his own way. Second long time fave is Edgar Allan Poe. Being the nerd I am I can spout all of both their biographies minus the exact dates without even looking at anything. As for anything else I'll read about anything, mostly horror and sci/fi. I also really enjoy manga, with my favorite manga author/artist being Junji Ito with his work Uzumaki.

      I wanted to create a thread about this   Eurodance act from sweden. very good. love his stuff   worth a listen if you never have

      Good afternoon,    I have a young friend who is vegetarian and married to a full on meat eater. They have two areas of their grill clearly designated for their different cooking requirements. When she’s cooking she uses tongs or chopsticks to handle any meats. When he’s cooking he respects her request not to cook her meals on the side where meat has been. They get along fine and respect each other.    When she attends our house, she usually brings her own food, but knows I will clean my grill to meet her requirements. We love and respect her commitment to be vegetarian. I love that she trusts me to make her comfortable when visiting us. There are ways to make it work.    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I was going to call it Numbness, then I realised well.. it isn't. basically, yeah, it isn't.   this only happens to me sometimes. I'll be lying down and my legs will.. well, I guess lock?   If I straighten them out, they will unlock- when I roll over again, they will lock again. this lasts for around 10/ 15 minutes I guess   it's not pins and needles either

      In this case the MAGA GOP transphobes Just my opinion of course
    • atlantis63
      so, a close friend wants to cook for me   the issue is, she is a vegitarian and won't handle meat- I, on the other hand, won't handle vegetables- hate the things   every time she goes out to the shop, she comes back with something.. a cake, a fruit smoothie, a coffee, I won't eat any of it. please help me think of something that she could make for me that I'll actually eat   disclaimer: you are talking to the most pickiest eater in the world. good luck

      I think there is some truth in this.  They intend to implement Project 2025, whether or not he spends his energies persecuting the Democrats who have been persecuting him (in his view, a debatable point) and does nothing else.   I have seen numerous accusations that the document is about "Trumpism", whatever that is, and is merely a vehicle for him to become dictator.  From what I have read so far, that is the same sort of truth as the Steele Dossier, denying the validity of a certain laptop, Schiff's non-existence evidence of collaboration and a host of other things, many directly from Biden, that are simply not true.   I will continue reading it.

      Who, precisely, are "they"?
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Wife of mine pointed out that not getting a haircut for a month looks hideous - weird bald patches.  So back to super- short buzz cut.  This morning I braced, looking in the mirror.  I look like a woman trying to pass as a a guy, maybe  a small-breasted woman with enough T treatment to grow a mustache.    I would not believe me if I read what I write about me.  This is nuts.   White t-shirt: that they sell in the back of WM so you can tie-dye them or otherwise decorate them. They are thick and long lasting and slightly fitted, so that they could be a man's.  I like them.   Jeans, flip flops.   I will no longer point out these are women's.  What else would I wear?

      That is all that is necessary. I did the same thing. I must have gotten something wrong.

      Quite right mate! I have been letting my hair grow out again (I cut it all off when I was 18).    I'll never look this good:    But I'll aspire to look my best! ☺️
