Who Are Your Favorite Authors? Favorite Books?


Recommended Posts

First book I ever read was "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov. I was hooked instantly. My favorite is of couse the Caves of Steel series. Never got into Foundation kasi I made an attempt to read it in HS eh and could never get into it :).

 

After that I read every single Sidney Sheldon book and loved every one of them. Read the LOTR books plus the encyclopedia :).

 

Then I read Tom Clancy but I started with Rainbox Six kaya I'm a bigger John Clark fan. I got "Without Remorse"(?) but it was very disappointing.

 

I'm now trying to finish Douglas Adams' HitchHicker's Guide to the Galaxy. It's a hiliarious book pero I haven't had time to finish it na. On the last chapter...
