I'd add books to, but that would take wayyyy too long. Feel free to comment and tell me what other shows and films I should watch. I'm open to nearly all recommendations! :)

What are the three best books you have ever read and what are the three worst? What made them so good or bad?

Very interesting question.

Three best:
> The Lucky One, by Nicholas Sparks. When it comes to books, I only really like crime novels, EXCEPT Nicholas Sparks. It's a guilty pleasure. They're predictable, cliche, but still amazing.
> The Lost Symbol OR Deception Point, by Dan Brown. I know so many people don't like the Dan Brown books, but I really do love them. And I'm not ashamed to say that I've learnt a lot from them.
> 206 Bones, by Kathy Reichs. OK, so I don't love Kathy Reichs THAT MUCH. I prefer Patricia Cornwell, at least the earlier Cornwell books. Like an order: early Patricia Cornwell - Kathy Reichs - post-From Potter's Field Cornwell. But anyway, 206 Bones was by far one of the best books I've ever read. Absolutely amazing.

I haven't really read any AWFUL books, but still, three worst:
> Twilight/New Moon, by Stephenie Meyer. Twilight was awful, for all the reasons I've mentioned in posts over the last couple of weeks. Same with New Moon. I actually only got through half of New Moon.
> Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad. I didn't finish this book; probably got through about a third. It wasn't that awful, it was just really difficult to read.
> Cause of Death, by Patricia Cornwell. Yeah, OK, after From Potter's Field her books changed. Or more her writing style did. I don't know why, but I'm not a fan of the change. I'm halfway through Unnatural Exposure (book after Cause of Death) at the moment, will hopefully finish sometime, but I'm just hoping they get better soon.

> Before anything else, I should just say that OMG I LOVE RALPH WAITE SO MUCH. And also, after watching this, I had to watch some eps of The Waltons. Only a couple, but still. DAMN I LOVE THAT SHOW.
> Aw Clark. Some of his comments were cute. Still not that keen on him, though.
> I DO NOT like watching Bones on TV. I'm thankful for Thanksgiving so I'm caught up with Bones and can just watch online now.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD SPOILERS

If anybody is interested, I've FINALLY made my 100 movie list. Although I made this yesterday and now I've found out another Nicholas Sparks book is being made into a movie, and it's out next year, and I'm just like OMFG I WANT TO SEE IT. But I'll leave the list as it is, and maybe change later if I can't get hold of one DVD or something.

When I made the final list yesterday, I had 99 movies. That was annoying. I decided to put the 100th as That Night OR Mute. Both EDesch, IK, but I wanted to see Mute even before I started watching Bones. Depends which I can get hold of as to which I end up watching.

Have you seen New Moon? If so, how do you think it compared to the book? Was it better or worse than Twilight? Please, no spoilers!

OMFG *EVIL LAUGH*

Yes, I have seen New Moon.

I only got halfway through the book. I hated the book. I hated the movie. I can't really compare there.

Uhm, worse. I didn't think it could get worse, but it did. The only upside was topless Taylor (he was born on the same day as me) Lautner. But seriously, the acting was TERRIBLE. Funny though. Even though it wasn't supposed to be most of the time.

No spoilers? Seriously? IDEK what would be spoiler-ish. Most people read the books beforehand.

Okay.

This is going to be my last I HATE TWILIGHT post. It's been fun, but probably too cruel. From now on, no more mentions. Unless it's on a survey/meme or something. Twilight lover friends, I STILL LOVE YOU. you just have bad book/movie tastes. AND DONE.

Before I start, who's on [info]thesovereignty ? Isn't it awesome? :D

Anyway, so from that site, I just found another great site: listography Basically, you make a list, and you can cross it off as you go along. So my list is going to be of movies, because there are SO MANY movies I want to see.

Now, I already have a quite a few to put on there, but I need you guys to help me make the list up to 100. My hope is to have seen them all by the end of 2010 (I would do it just during 2010, but I'm starting early, because I can :P).

So, without further ado, RECOMMEND ME MOVIES!

-I didn't like this episode. After going two weeks without new eps, I really hoped this one would be great. I was very disappointed. If it wasn't for Angela, I would've probably stopped watching halfway through.
-Wendell again...I'm not complaining, because I do like him, but I really, really want Vincent.

Usual spoiler warning. Don't say I didn't warn you.
