My favorite series is The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, but I cannot stop loving the Sherlock Holmes (collection) by Arthur Conan Doyle. He wrote so passionately and perfectly, with incredible humor and wit, that it isn't hard to believe why he and his work is considered so highly. Particularly, "A Study in Scarlet" is an incredible piece of literature. Part II was the most depressing and entertaining thing I have ever read, and it was so cleverly written that I couldn't put the book down.
If you guys haven't yet, read just that story at least. If you don't fall in love with the wit of Doyle and his writing and cast of characters, what book could appease you man?!

patrick rothfuss's kingkiller chronicle. even though it's not even done yet. the world building is just so interesting.
A series of unfortunate events. My favorite book saga with a great setting and athmosphere. I just loved it.
Not far behind are Isaac Asimov book. Especially Fondation saga

book3 ain't never comin out,lol.
but that aside, The Powder Mage trilogy by McClellan is the dopest read I've had so far, and it's 10-years later series, Sins of Empire, is even better. I nominate it for best steampunk fantasy of all time.
The Stormlight archive is beyond awesome, and with book 3 releasing in November, I can hardly wait.
The Wheel of time is still one of my top 5's
and Skullsworn, a spin-of of The Emporer's blade is awesome.
The Hobbit. Timeless classic, and I have a bunch of other books that would be close to my top picks, but that one I can read over and over.
Those ones are amazing, also Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. But my all time favorite will always be Solaris by Stanislav Lem. F%ck, that book takes SciFi to another level.

The Stranger by Albert Camus is definitely my favorite book now, but Animal Farm is pretty damn good.
yes, and yes! asimov made me fall in love with the Science fiction that emphasized the Science. such an admirable personality. if you haven't read his memoir, "I, Asimov", I do recommend it.

The Mists of Avalon.
I read The Once and Future King and Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy and The Wicked Day, but my favourite book on the legend of King Author has to be The Mists of Avalon.

Favorite book...The Black Ice by Michael Connelly. Also the first Jack Reacher book by Lee Child.
I love A song of Ice and Fire by George R.R Martin.
Stormlight Archive and all the mistborn books by Brandon Sanderson especially the ones with Wax and Wayne =)
But the books set in the Elderling realm by Robin Hobb will always have a special place in my heart, Assassins Apprentice, Liveship Traders, Rain wild chronicles etc. <3

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It's also a movie now, I think.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -
@
SylverReZ:
They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
