Smile What's your favourite book?
So I just finish to read my book : The Pillars of the Earth and I have to say it was the best book I had ever read.
I can't wait to buy and read the next sequel : World Without End.

Well for people who don't like to read a lot, Pillars have almost 1000 pages... but it's really awesome, I used to read the Harry Potter sequels but I finished it all and it was my favourite books before I read Ken Follet book's (author of pillars).

Favourite book : The Pillars of the Earth

It's a tie between the series A Song of Ice and Fire and the series Sword of Truth.

Snap! The ultimate hedonist.

Memoirs of a Geisha was an awesome book as were The Virgin Suicides, 1984 and A Clockwork Orange. All of which were made in to movies at some point.

For slightly more obscure books, Tales of the Otori series was great. Shadow of the Wind was quite involving. Also the sword of truth series was resonable, but none of the books could really match the first book: Wizards first rule.

Also never forget the childrens classic: "Winnie the Pooh"!!

ps. How could I forget the Earthsea Quartet.
