Whats your favorite Book youve ever read? Or series of Books? Good enough that you lost sleep over it, because you couldnt put the book down? List the Title, Author, and a Brief Description!! How often do you read books? How many in a year on average? For me, id say 2 or 3. I dont read as often as I should.Here's mine: Title : 'Alhazred: Author of the Necronomicon' Author : Donald Tyson. Description : Abdul Alhazred, is brought to life in this epic tale detailing the mad sorcerer's tragic history and magical adventures. Alhazred tells his own life story, beginning with himself as a poor, handsome boy in Yemen who attracts the attention of the king for his divine skill in poetry. As the court poet, young Abdul lives a luxurious life at the palace, where he studies necromancy and magic. But falling in love with the king's daughter leads to a foolish tryst, which is ultimately discovered. As punishment, Abdul is tortured, brutally mutilated, and cast into the desert, known as the Empty Space. Battling insanity, he joins a tribe of ghouls and learns forbidden secrets from a stranger called Nyarlathotep. Thus begins his downward spiral into wickedness. Renamed Alhazred, he escapes the desert and embarks on a quest to restore his body and reunite with his true love. Traveling across the ancient world and fantastic realms, he is hounded by foes and tormented by the demands of his dark lord.

They are excellent, though now that they are all out some of the 'fun' may be gone. There was something special about having a lapse of time between stories because it led you to imagine what would happen with the rest of the series, and that was a lot of the enjoyment from the books...which is kind of weird. Either way, the books are easy reading, but enjoyable. If you have some free reading time, they go quickly.

Another series is the Fire and Ice books by George RR Martin

A Game of Thrones was simply amazing, but A Clash of Kings was nothing but sex and violence, sex and violence. I hear A Storm of Swords is the best of the first three, so I'm looking forward to reading it, but I really hope it isn't like Clash.

Possibly Brave New World by Aldous Huxley but it could also be Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie or The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Depending on my mood even Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut.
