I don't think any movie is as good as the book it's based on, but I really enjoyed The Hobbit. I went to see it twice.

Some of my other favorites by Pullman are: The Broken Bridge, Clockwork and Count Karlstein.

i can safely say that I have never read a book (even uni text books) in my life.

I am more an audio book person lol. Recently I been listening to the sword of truth.

Audiobooks are good too. I've listened to a few myself.

"One Day" by David Nicholls.

It's one of the best books I've ever read.

Currently reading "The Timekeeper" by Mitch Albom. He's also the author of "Tuesdays With Morrie", "Five People You Meet In Heaven" and "Have A Little Faith".

As for fantasy, I enjoy the Drizzt Do'Urden trilogies. I really hope they will be made into a T.V Series like Game Of Thrones or movie trilogies like Lord Of The Rings. 

As for my reccomendation, it will be "Have A Little Faith" by Mitch Albom. This book is so good. And it's one of the more underrated books by Albom. 

Recently caught up with the song of ice an fire, so but burned out as I read them rapidly. But still have LOTR to reread as I recently rebrought the collection, as well as got bit of the disc world novels left to finish off, so bit to read, but got to do reading for uni too :/

Reading This is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl

Finally finished the entire LOTR trilogy after like 5 years. Great books, my only complaint is that they were so good that I sort of wish I hadn't tainted my experience by watching the movies first. But there still was plenty stuff left out of the movies at least.

Right now I'm reading the first of the Cold fire trilogy by C.S. Friedman, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick (what blade runner is based off of). In case it wasn't obvious I'm generally into dark fantasy and sci-fi

Nice idea. I recently finished an MA in English Literature, so I have been reading a lot. Good to see some Tolkien/George Martin fans, my MA thesis was a comparative study of a Song of Ice and Fire and Lord of the Rings, focusing around colour coding, race, and physical appearance.

I got a kindle for Christmas, along with a lot of Amazon vouchers, which has really upped my reading rate again and since Christmas I've read A Christmas Carol (Dickens), Blood Meridian (Cormac McCarthy), The One Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Escaped (Jonas Jonasson), Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, South of the Border West of the Sun, Kafka on the Shore, and A Wild Sheep Chase (all Haruki Murakami).

I'd highly recommend Murakami, I think he's brilliant. I'm becoming quite addicted to his novels. I'd start with his more naturalistic books like Norwegian Wood and South of the Border, before moving onto more surreal stuff like The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, A Wild Sheep Chase and Kafka on the Shore (my favourite so far). Hard-Boiled Wonderland was more surreal than those, and from what I've seen, there's plenty more in that vein.

I also got (and read) Firefly: A Celebration in the last month, which I'd highly recommend for any fans of that series. Original stories, the original shooting scripts, huge amounts of interviews and other tidbits, all in a beautifully presented book.

Tomorrow I'll be receiving Hyrule Historia, so I'll be giving that a read while I continue my first ever play-through of The Legend of Zelda, before moving onto Adventure of Link. I'm not sure what I'll be reading after that, but I have stuff like Life of Pi and The Millenium Trilogy on my Kindle (anyone read those?) as well as a thirty book long Kindle wishlist to dig into!

Is that the one promoting white guilt ?

OHHH!!!! Murakami is awesome!! 
I read 1Q84 and loved it but I was so dissapointed in the ending. So many things were left unexplained. Like the "Little People" etc.

I read Norwegian Wood and loved it too but not as much as 1Q84. I just felt that Book 3 in 1Q84 was so rushed and urgggh..if only things were explained much better.
