| One of my favorite books is The Crossing, only book that has brought a tear to my eye. Just finished Tropic of Cancer, it's grim and starts off simplistic, but it has some beautiful descriptives. _________________ All the parties are formed. All the gangs are born. The Beast has been chosen. Who is going to win in the end? We'll set fire to the shore. We'll set fire to the sea. We'll set fire to the meadow. We'll bring this whole world to it's knees.

| In total, I have many favourites books, but if I had to choose the best, then I would choose Silmarillion by Professor J.R.R. Tolkien. It's not challenging literature but for any fan of fantasy a must to read. _________________ |

| Unfortunatelly, I can't distinguish my favorite book, however basically the literature of H.P. Lovecraft is the most preferable for me, as well as his most famous works, such as The Shadow over Innsmouth. |

| Basically every book of Sven Hassel. He wrote some pretty amazing books around WW2. Enjoyed reading a few of them, haven't gotten around to read to all yet though. _________________ Just your average guy with a love for post-apocalyptic games. |

| I don't know, there are so many that come to mind. I'll have to go with Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. |

| i'd say almost every book by Stephen King. She was one of my first books i ever read (next to comics;)) and i couldnt stop reading. I was maybe 14 years old and never experienced something like this and that was the start of my passion for book:) so i have to say SHE by stephen king is my favorit because it was the first and most remembered one. _________________ best game ever - and it keep getting better |

| My best book that I like or series at least, would be the Patrick O'brian series, who's responsible for Master and Commander. _________________ |

| World War Z by Max Brooks is one of my favorites. The Rising by Brian Keene (The Rising is the first book in a series of zombie-themed horror novels written by author Brian Keene.) is a good series which is followed up by City of the Dead. Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber is another favorite of mine. Zombies in Star Wars what's not to love? I love Zombies _________________ |

| I absolutely love World War Z it takes something as fictional as zombies and creates a realistic scenario on how the world would react. It has many point of views from soldiers, generals, organ traffickers to ordinary citizens like students or mothers. It goes all around the world and not just the U.S.A like the middle east, India, France, North Korea, etc. Too bad the movie was crap and unfaithful to the book. _________________ The worst part about prison was the dementors. |

I love Orwell! I read Animal Farm to my daughter, when I got to the part about the horse I cried. Really great writer. 1984 is a great read. I bought both stories in 1 book at Books A Million @Neo-Rex yeah the World War Z movie was a big let down. Ruined a great story, if they had stayed faithful to the book the movie could have been amazing. Such a shame. |

| Can't narrow it down too much but Life Of Pi, American Spartan and blood in the cage was pretty good. _________________ "Fear is the true opiate of combat." |

| I started reading the witcher books after I played the games and I was intrigued by how well written and how easy of a read they were. |

Porta dies. Sorry.
Orson Scott Card's The Shadow saga. It's a collection of 5 books with a story parallel to Ender's game saga (you only need to read Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind and Ender in Exile). Haven't read Shadows in Flight yet, can't find it anywhere for sale. In any case, would totally recommend these series, one of the best scifi books out there, without being overly pretentious as the Foundation or Dune series. _________________ "There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgMYikGtZMo - My Youtube Channel |

| I have plethora of book I love to read that it's rather hard to choose just one. So, I will go off of seniority and choose my first favorite non-picture book. Which in this case would The Innocent Abroad, or The New Pilgrims' Progress by Mark Twain. _________________ Yours sincerely, GumShoe
