Favorite book hmmm, that's a tough one. I'll think on that one. If you mean any sort of book I'd have to say Deadlands: Unity... or did you mean actual literature? :whistle: :sneaky:

Favorite comic though is a tie. I love both Millers 300 and Ennis' Preacher. They're both cheesy schlock, but I kinda like cheesy schlock.

But do you call porn "movies" movies, or just porn? Just because one medium draws the line in one place and another draws the line in elsewhere is no reason to disparage the line. Not that I disagree with you, but I just felt like playing devils advocate.

I read Plato's "Politeia" as well. Besides that I have read, "Symposium", "Euthyfron", Sokrates' Defence, "Kriton" and "Faidon". But I'm more of a Machiavellian. His well known, "Il Principe" (often mistranslated as "The Prince", it should be "The Ruler") is worth reading and takes only an hour or so to get through. Less well known, more volumes and more worth the effort however is "Discorsi" (full title, "Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio"). A treaties of the first ten books of Titus Livius.
All these books are favorites of mine and anyone interrested in the art of the state cannot do without reading these. They are very complicated and you do need someone to explain it all (I certainly did) for you but once you are through it all the world will make more sense to you.

My favorite book is "1984" from George Orwell...

I agree, the above books are a must for anyone willing to learn more about how things work.
I studied them for good only when I first went to the university, and they are still some of the best time spent in my life.

The problem is when you say to others that you not only like but agree with say Plato, then they say you are a fascist pig etc etc. Ah, who cares.

:D

I'm currently reading into Plato, so...

Indeed it's "porn movie". Even if not, you also don't call a drama a "drama movie" either. That's called "genre", but "graphic novel" is not a genre and especially not a different genre than comic book... ;)

Where to start...
There are so many books I enjoyed, that it's really hard to choose a favorite, but here are some that first pop to mind:
2001 - Arthut C. Clarke
The Case of Dr. Karpeta -Jaroslav Boček
Waiting for Godot - Samuel Becket
On the Road - Jack Caruac
Hitchhiker's Guide (first 4 books - right up the the Good-bye and thanks for all the Fish)
Antigona - Sofokles
The Name of the Rose - Umberto Eco

Favourite comic - undoubtably Asterix!

It's a play, not a book (which I have no doubt you know).

I agree, best, still known, play in the history of the world.

Well I know it's a play - but I still read it bound together as a book. The topic didn't say - your favorite PROSE, so I guess books with poems could count too (but there aren't really any I liked).
That's why I also put Antigona in there... I'd prefer not reading it as a book, but on the original scrolls though, but that can only remain a fantasy :angel:

I read Antigone last year, and thought it was excellent :D
