oooobviously i need distraction from studying so i thought i'd ask you guys. what is your favourite book? what genre do you like best? what did you read recently and how did you like it? I think my favourite genre is crime/thriller/detective/mystery stuff but i do like some other things too. there are hundreds of books on my ebook reader waiting for me to read them <3 add me on Goodreads if you like, which i don't update as often as i should but anyway. www.goodreads.com/user/show/10302175-dia |

My favorites are autobiography books. I love reading when I know it's the authors voice and whatever's written is real/true. It could be a book about their life or just self help book of some kind. I think they all are special and good so don't have any favorites.
The part of my brain where we have our ability to follow something fiction is out of function, so for example Harry Potter didn't really work with me at all when I tried to read it back in the days. I just am too stupid to follow because I can't imagine what's written. Can't explain it but just error. LOL.

i love agatha christie!!! i didn´t read many detectives stories from other authors, but my friend gave me once a detective book by scandiavian writer and it was great. so i plan to read more scandiavian detectives =)
i also love books about drugs - irvine welsh is my favourite author!
and then i love books by john irving - he writes "normal" stories, nothing difficult..
the last book i read was black cat by e.a.poe - i knew that stories, but i got this book from my brother for christmas and i love poe, so it was great to read it again =)
now i´m reading post office by c.bukowski - it´s my first book from him and i´m satisfied=)

Yeah we do. And I played soccer so it was exciting to read about his way to where he is today Oh, I L O V E Dan Brown also. It's not 100% real stuff but like 50% at least, ha ha. He's sooo good describing details, feels like you're there yourself  |

Yeah but scary because they use streets and stuff I walk on and I don't like that, haha. But Larssons older book are even better! Other great Swedish writers are Kepler, Mankell and Lapidus.

I love the Outlander series and I'm currently reading book 6. I'm a slow reader, and the books are between 800-1000 pages long, but I enjoy them so I stick with them. I also love to read Stephen king, I love horror/crime books.

I've tried so hard to get into the game of thrones books. I'm thinking of getting the audio book and listening to it as I read along. Never watched the TV show, always try to read the book before watching the TV show/film of anything |

Never watched the TV show, always try to read the book before watching the TV show/film of anything i saw the tv show before i read.. and i think i´m quite glad on one side, mainly because of the characters - there are plenty of characters!!! and i don´t even know who is dead or alive =) by the way, i heard from 2 of my friends that they also couldn´t get into the book... and i´m not sure if i could do that either, if i had not seen the show first.. because i didn´t really like fantasy books.. |
