His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
any anthology of Greek or European Myths

I'm also in the midst of discovering whether or not I am a fan of Dan Brown and his works (Angels and Demons, and The Da Vinci Code)

The Davinci Code is a book written for the purpose of obscuring the Christian faith

Yes, I am well aware that it's purpose can be interpretted as such. I am not going to ask you the point of your comment, because I have absolutely no desire for this to turn into a religious debate. Being a person that does not belong the the Christian faith, I have no problem with reading a book that takes a different look at religion because I can approach it as a work of literary fiction instead of taking offence and just enjoy the quality of literature.

it's still listed in the fiction section though.

i started reading dune recently, but stopped. i had a hard time getting into it for some reason. i guess maybe someday i'll go all the way through, but it was just sort of boring. most people consider it the greatest sci-fi book of all time.

[Gil Galad]

I appologize if I affended anyone, I ment no harm by my comment andi know that The Da Vinci Code is a very good quality piece of literature, it has to be read with a certain discernment though and I am glad to know that it is still in the fiction section, i have heard of it moving on, like i said i appologize

[screams]

no worries. it is true that they don't follow the actual things written in the gospels of mary, so if it was meant to be truth it would be blantently wrong truth.

[Gil Galad]

Hah, this is true, preciate the forgiveness

[Dennis]

The Dune Series
The Foundation Series

Those two are what I've really been into lately.

[Pulsifer]

IMHO, Dune rose and peaked in the first book. By the third, my brain felt like Arrakis on a hot day. Dull.

Currently reading the Scandinavian Misantrophy series, by Abo Rasul. (The Cocka Hola Company and Macht & Rebel)

My favourite fantasy series, though, has recently become the Song of Ice and Fire, by George R.R. Martin. Brutally delightful.

[numenorian]

I tottaly recommend someone to read all Elrik's adventures he is really cool
