I think that we can all agree that this community has been dead for the past few months.
What happened here, guys? We're all exciting, friendly, passionate people!
I for one believe that it's time to resurrect booklisters and become a true community again.

How shall we do this, you ask?

Books

Favorite Author: Lucy Maud Montgomery
Favorite Book: Impossible to pick just one! A possible top three would be Outlander by Diana Gabaldon, The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card - but that still leaves out so many wonderful books!
Least Favorite Book: Lord of the Rings by Tolkien. Not that it's horrible, but people are always completely shocked when they hear I didn't like it, and that's getting REALLY old. Least Favourite Book That Nobody Has Ever Heard Of, So It Doesn't Matter Anyway: The Christmas Wish by Karen Farrel Jaworski. You can see my review here.
Book I Am Currently Reading: The Count of Monte Christo by Alexander Dumas.

I love Walter Moers! Have you read The City of Dreaming Books???

[kiwiria]

I have! I loved that one too, and was very hard pressed to pick which one of them should go on this list! I love his humour.

Have you read any of his other books? I'm very keen to, but haven't been able to find any of them yet.

I ordered Rumo and his Miraculous Adventures off Amazon, and it is waiting for me on my bookshelf at this very minute! Supposedly it also takes place in "Zamonia" and some of the characters even overlap. I'm excited to read it but need to finish what I've got on my plate already. I think most bookstores only carry the two we have read, so you might need to look online to find the others. Cheers.

Heh - I'm in Denmark and ordered those two online as well ;-) Let me know what you think once you get around to reading them?
