Books

This part of my page is devoted to books which I like. I hope you can find here something for yourself.:)

My favourite books:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

This "trilogy" contains 5 books about human Arthur, his friends and their troubles in galaxy after the Earth was destroyed because of hypergalactic motorway. The best character is depressed robot Marvin.:) Actually I haven't read all 5, but I will.0:)

Books from Neil Gaiman

All these books are great - The American Gods, The Anansi's Boys and Neverwhere. They were the bestsellers. This three books have got one thing common - some unexpected event definitely changes the life of the main character. Even though they are different.From these three, I like the most Neverwhere, which is probably the most childish. Neil Gaiman has written many novels, books of short stories and fairy-tales, but probably his well-known works are comic books Sandman. These comic books are rather strange and gloomy, but once you start to read it, you can not stop. I had the luck to read several of the Sandman books thanks to my friend Dorota.I own just one, because they are quite expensive and it is hard to buy them.

 

Lord of the Rings

Who doesn't know this books is from other century.;) Tolkien was a great writer and he has created the books, which will be read by many generations. There is just one thing that I didn't like about his books and that's his describtions of the nature, which were sometimes too long. Anyway hobbits are great.:)

Harry Potter books

When I started to read the first Harry Potter book I was about 11 years old. I can say that I have grown up with Harry, because every year was the other part.I have started to read it in Czech language and I do not regret that I had to wait longer than if I bought the Slovak version. The Czech one is better, at least it's my opinion. My favourite character is Ron, even though he is sometimes silly.:) Some of my other favourite characters were killed, but the story had "surprisingly" happy ending.:)

 

Books from Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett has written more than 30 books about his imagined world "Discworld" and its inhabitants. All his characters are crazy and funny. You can choose your favourite - witches, commander Sam Vimes of the City Watch, the supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork Lord Vetinari or "Great Wizzard" Rincewind.:) More about the books you will find here.

 

Books from Roger Zelazny

When I started to read the first book about Amber from Roger Zelazny, I thought some pages were missing, because it didn't give me the sense. Well, the more I read, the moe I found out about the main character Corwin and later in the other part about his son Merlin. What is great about the "Amber books" is that you never know what will happen on the next page, who will be alive and who not. Even when you read the books several times you can't remember everything, because it's still full of action and twists. After I read the first one, I have bought 9 other and there are still some other parts I am missing.

 

Twilight Saga

I heard about the book, I bought it and I couln'd put it down. The plot is so captivating. I have got the other part New Moon from my boyfriend Filip, which I haven't read yet, but I will as soon as I will have more free time.:) It has got other two parts Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, which I will certainly buy in the future.;)
