Hey Pandas, Share Your Favorite Book (Closed)

Loved the show now I have to get the book!

Just finished the original series, I flew threw all 6 books in 2 weeks.

HP are good books, pity JKR is insensitive.

Sounds interesting. Always glad to read of something new, gross and educational.

Feet of Clay is one of my absolute favourite novels, third in the Discworld Nightwatch series (#1 being Guards! Guards", #2 Men at Arms"). Pratchett has a way of mixing humour, fantasy, and moral/philosophy, while also writing authentic characters with unique personalities, that develop over the years, and he still manages to deliver a well crafted plot (Spoiler alert + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + the murder weapon is mentioned several times throughout the novel - I didn't see it)

The film has just been regraded to PG with warnings. Pity it wasn’t when I watched it!

Nimona by ND Stevenson, which is a graphic novel and recently was made into a movie on Netflix!!! Again, highly recommend both, they're so good in their own ways and I love Nate Stevenson so so so much. (Unrelated but he is the creator (used to go by Noelle but came out as trans) of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power which is on Netflix and it's one of my favorite shows ever, highly highly recommend). More books: The Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley; A Heart In A Body In The World by Deb Caletti; Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan; Heartless by Marissa Meyer; The Camelot Rising series by Kiersten White; The Dark Descent Of Elizabeth Frankenstein by Kiersten White; Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine; The Raven Cycle series by Maggie Stiefvater; Grishverse Series (Six of Crows, and Shadow and Bone) by Leigh Bardugo; Long May She Reign by Rhiannon Thomas; Renegades series by Marissa Meyer; more in a continued comment

I grok it

I read it too bc I had to read it for a class but I agree not my favorite but def cool

This should be higher. I read it so many years ago, it took me maybe 2 hours and I keep revisiting it in my mind ever since. The movie is also excellent.

My Dad likes to give this book to people he's close to as a gift. One Christmas I bought him a few copies so he could give out some more.

You have the original? Sweet!

I see Moorcock, I upvote! ;-)

very cool book. He debunks a lot of "pop psychology" notions of how the mind works by giving lots of examples of clever experiments. He seems to be arguing for a kind of emergence or epiphenomenalism - that the mind is secondary to brain activities/just a shadow-like thing.

I have read this book 7 times since first discovering this author 4 years ago.

Yes! I love love love Marissa Meyer and almost everything that she has written! Personally gilded was a little slow for me, but I still loved the characters.

Some good books there!

holy Jesus that a lot of times

I just LOVE it how many people here like SF.

I have read this book 41 times. The next time I read it I am expecting enlightenment... ;)

Oh wonderful. Thank you for the title from C. Willis. I only know 2 other books from Connie Willis, The Doomsday Book would have been one of my favourite books. I will have to get Passage. Soon. Now...

It’s only in good shape because I just got the hard copy, but I’ve read it four or five times on Libby.

The movie made me want to break my tv. I watched right after re-reading the book series, and I was so mad the entire time.

s m o l !

So beautifully written :)

I WANT THAT BOOK

it looks like the book of awesome

Did you read Ian Watson's Warhammer 40,000 books: "Inquisitor", "Harlequin", "Space Marine" (I wish he haven't written the "Chaos Child")? He captured the essence of this universe so perfectly no other authors did.

Remember the Serenity Prayer? : God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. ? These two books have shown me how.

Closely followed by The Stranger Times books by the fantastic Ciamh McDonnell.

A series of books in in the Known Space series. This is the one I've read multiple times.

Sorry for the double post, this is my favorite book because I work as a machinist and I’m fascinated by everything metal.

Sorry about the thing on the left corner my download wasn't working so i had to screenshot 💀

Making this required reading is the exact definition of propaganda.

(not a picture of my copies bc I just moved and books are in boxes) These were my introduction to fantasy as a genre. Heavily influenced how I write forever, particularly when it comes to how magic works. Dickson was a sci-fi writer up until he started writing these, so the fantasy has a very different tone, particularly with the magic. They start off fantasy and get more and more historical as he got interested in the research. Outdated history now but in the 90s when I was little they were the first thing that made historical times seem like real people with real lives. Sad to me that nobody has heard of them except rarely the 'oh the animated film' no the animated film is NOTHING like these books at all. If you like Pratchett and/or Gaiman and/or GRRM, I recommend you try these sometime.

I will be honest with you, if you’re looking for well written lgbtq romance with lots of representation, Casey McQuiston is the way to go. I’ve read all three of her books and they’re just incredibly spectacular.

Sorry for the bad quality pic, got confused by the camera
