    i own alot, read more than i can count, some being random ones that i don't remember reading at all.

    current craze is terry pratchett books.

    i've read ( no school stuff, this is all willingly ):
    princess of mars (umm...the guy wrote some other book...was really big...i wanna say tarzan so bad...but that doesn't sound right)
    nancy drew...
    the hardy boys..
    random sherlock homes
    some of the star trek books, old and next generation. nothing current though.
    attempted some agatha christi books...can't read her stuff happily...XD
    same with niago marsh...i like seeing their stuff as shows...but their writing is crap to me...well, it was when i read it...haven't figured out where mom hid her books currently...
    call of the wild
    a very bastardized version of gulliver's travels (am in process of reading the real version)
    david copperfield
    where the red ferns grows ( I'll never read that again, twice in my life is enough... )

    and various other things like that, as a child that is. i've moved on to well...not alot...got some dolstovsky sitting around, finally started the idiot hehe.

    :sweat: heh, I'm not really the one to read... I mean, I read when i hacve to and all but, I really dont care for it, unless it's Manga. But I do read sometimes, but that's only if it's something action-ish, and humor-ish... ya know?

    A brief list of what I've read:

    - Watership Down (and the sequel of sorts, which collects short stories)
    - The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion
    - All the notable Dragonlance books (the Chronicles & Legends trilogies, and various side books, most by Weiss and Hickman) excluding the second generation books, which sucked.
    - Various Star Wars books
    - A lot of miscellaneous fantasy (The Last Unicorn, some Discworld, some Dragonriders of Pern - ick - and some Redwall - ick again).

    But that's just a handful. XD At the moment, I'm working on reading or re-reading many of Michael Crichton's books; Sphere, Congo, Eaters of the Dead, The Lost World...

    Hmmm... I really wonder if anyone can remember how many books they've read.

    Tell you all what. Let's change this. Instead of "What books have you read?" We'll make it "What books do you own?" and put it in a new thread.
