My Favorite Books: In which I get off my lazy bum and actually do something

In no particular order:

-The Great Gatsby: I love me some good symbolism. Also, I'm a fan of the Roaring Twenties.

-The Lord of the Flies: No real reason, I just like the story.

-A Song of Ice and Fire: So many characters I love. So many I hate. Wrap them all up in a gritty fantasy world and I'm sold. Also, points for having actions have consequences.

-Moby-Dick: Again, symbolism. Also, Ahab is beyond fascinating, both to read and to speculate about.

-The Hobbit/The Lord of the Rings: The archetype of Fantasy and, in turn, world-building. Also, Smaug is one of my favorite characters.
