    Some of my favorite books:
    Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy
    The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
    Seeing by Jose Saramago
    100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
    A Separate Peace by John Knowles
    Kafka on the Shore & The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami
    The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
    Old Kingdom Series (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen) and the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix

    There are some more that I'm forgetting right now :/ oh well~
    I love graphic novels as well. My favorite would have to Fables & Batman comics, especially TDKR.

    We study art, basically. : ) Where I study, you get to choose two tracks (kind of like minoring, but different) so you get to pick where you'll specialize in. Mine is Creative Writing and Philosophy.

    The Book Thief is really good! It made me cry lol. I first read it in highschool but I still read it up to now : )

    I like mostly comic books...but the odd game novelization ain't bad...

    The resident evil books by S.D Perry were preety good-yet at times don't tie in well.

    But one book that wasn't about games wasn't bad...

    I just can't find it :(

    All I know it's a horror/sci fi story-gory in detail but fun to read.

    I have yet to find one that grips me to it-they aren't cheap here :(
