Yeah, this is a music website, but books are a just as great medium (if not better, in my eyes), and I was just wondering what you guys liked to read. If you guys do read. Maybe when you pick up a book, you're like, "Oh, my bad, this isn't music!" and you put it down and run away. XD
Anywaaaaaaaaaays, my favorite books are as follows:
Gormenghast by Mervyn Peake (three books, but not really a trilogy, since the author died before finishing them)
Here, I can tie these books into music easily. Anyone heard The Drowning Man by The Cure? It is about a character and event from these books. It spoils something too! Robert Smith, you should've called that song "Spoiler!" Luckily I read the books before I had even listened to the Cure's music. XD I found the Cure via Gormenghast!
The Once and Future King by T.H. White
I am not aware of any musical connections to this book, sorry guys! 😕
The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame
The title of Pink Floyd's first (and best) album, Piper At The Gates of Dawn is named after an amazing and mystical chapter from the book. Also! Piper at the Gates of Dawn by Van Morrison
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Well, yeah. XD Listen to the Tolkien Ensemble, if you want to, though I think they mostly do LOTR songs. They're actually really good. Listen to Wight's Chant or Tom Bombadil's Song!

There are actually a few Led Zeppelin song with references to LOTR in case you didn't know. The Hobbit is awesome btw.
