I like this idea. maybe it should be moved to the movies area. I would like to see a separate folder for each book so that people could rate the book up to 10 for the highest and give their take on it.

1) Dune by mr scientologist L Ron Hubbard

2) Elric series by Michael Moorcock

I don't have a favorite book per say but I do love reading. My favorite aurthors would be Harlan Coben, Dean Koontz, and Stephen King. I will read anything by these men. Another book that I read everyday is the Holy Bible.

I don't have a favorite book either but will read almost anything.
I like Stephen King (Gerald's Game is probably my favorite of his),
Virginia and VC Andrews (Flowers in the Attic etc.)
and at the moment I'm reading The Giant Book of Killer Women (true stories from around the world). Twisted Evil

I must say the bible is a great book. It's a great story line, with plenty of plot twists to keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through.
However it contradicts itself so much. The change between old and new testament is quite bizarre.

In the old testament God seems to be like the old Greek Gods who send tests to their followers and generally treat them quite harshly.
I read one part of a Christian story where God burns down this guys village, kills his wife and children just to see if the guy will still follow him at the end. Wierd, but interesting.

Anyway,
I generally prefer fantasy books. Anything with swords and war in it is good for me. Throw in some magic, dragons and erotic parts and there you have one of my favourite books.
I must say I will read and most likely enjoy anything written by Chris Bunch. He is a legendary writer and the one who has inspired me to write my own books.
I've read two of his series'.
The Dragon Master series and The Seer King series.

I really do recommend these books as they are great literature. Well written and interesting all the way through.
