Anyone have any furry books that they read? They can be books written by furries, or just books with anthro characters in them. One of my current favorite furry series is by Lisanne Norman, who writes a series of books about a race of telepathic cat-like aliens. Her books have changed my current favorite kind of male anthro from wolves/werewolves to cats  . Very well written books, lots of action and political intrigue. Just as a caveat, there are some adult parts though, but not a lot.

What are your favorites?

The Pride of Chanur series by C.J. Cherryh. My favorite series, even though it can be a little difficult to read at times with all the "politics" in the stories. I've read the entire series.......twice.

Picked up a book in a local Joann's--Draw Furries by Hodges and Cibos.

Ditto.  The Chanur series is excellent.  I spent years pretending to be a Hani after reading them.

Right now, I'm reading some fairly furry stories by Mercedes Lackey in her collection Werehunter.  The first in the collection was a were-leopard transformation story.  The next four are about a genetically improved telepathic pet cat.

My all time favorite furry book, of course, is Watership Down.  I also love the Bunnicula books.  The Uplift War and Startide Rising by David Brinn are great.  And, recently, I've been exploring furry books from within the furry fandom.  So far, I really like everything I've found by Phil Geusz and Renee Carter Hall.  I also really enjoyed Save the Day by D.J. Fahl.  (It had some flaws, but I thought it rose above them.)  So, there's the quick survey of furry books that I've read.

Mercedes Lackey is one of my all-time favorite authors, along with Clive Cussler. I could read just her stuff forever and be perfectly happy.

When I was about fourteen my mom dropped my friend and I off at the mall so we could hang out for a few hours. We didn't do much hanging out though as I couldn't get my video game addicted friend to leave the arcade. After I got bored I left him to go off to the bookstore so that I could find some reading material. I came across the book K9 Corps: Cry Wolf. it was the third book in a series about genetically engineered Scout Dogs that could talk. I fell in love with the book, and went looking for the rest of the series. The bookstore didn't have them so I had them order the first and second books in the series for me. They located the second book but could not find the first. I wasn't able to read the first until I discovered Amazon a few years back.  It's still my all time favorite book series.

You do realise there's a line of action figures, right? I got this one from Kmart years ago. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v216/icyhusky/otherrandomstuff/DSC03324.jpg

I just did a check on Amazon.com and I was mistaken.    The toy line K9 Corps is not related to the book series at all. Ooops.

While at a local comic book shop this weekend I got a new graphic novel called "Sweet Tooth" starring a Satyr-like boy named Gus. There was some sort of apocalyptic disaster where all of the children born since come out with some sort of animal feature. The rest of the living normal humans are quickly dying off. It's got some pretty mature content and is far more depressing than most furry-related thing, but definitely worth checking out if you like dark art styles and strong character writing.

I don't really read 'furry books' except if the furriness is coincidental, but I did enjoy Duncton Wood when I read it early this year - it's a book about moles living in the English countryside. It is kind of brutal at times because it attempts to give moles living in an accurate portrayal of a mole 'society' human characteristics rather than giving them overwhelming human traits but it is a really interesting read with massive scope.

Kobuk, I have those action figures. I got the complete line ( sans the human character ) for Christmas the year they came out. They aren't related to the book series but they're great figures all on their own.

Redwall, if you count the series as furry. The Guardians of Ga'hoole, though i dont think its furry as the owls are not anthro (but wield swords & have some powers or something). Warriors isnt anthro, but ive been a fan since elementary school.

just started reading Dragons Wild series by Robert Asprin, & need to get the 2nd book. dragons!

as for comics, Mouse Guard. read it. so worth it!

i also picked up Dragon Strike book 4. i want to read the 1st book before i start the series. has anybody read this book series before?

i have the entire series and met the author at this years further confusion, its a really fantastic series but not anthro besides the fact its from dragon pov and they can talk, no hold backs on the violence either.

I'm not sure how Redwall could possibly not count as furry...  And wielding swords is a fairly solidly anthropomorphic trait.  Owls in real life generally don't wield swords.  As for the Warriors books, they're about cats who are given human-like powers of thought and communication.

So, as far as I can tell, all three of those examples are solidly furry.  In fact, I'm not sure that I would even understand a definition of furry fiction that didn't include them.  It would have to be bizarrely restrictive to the point of being nearly useless.

Don't read many novels period, my favourite furry books have to be Berenstain Bears and Garfield.
