Force Ten Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 QUOTE (GuitarKid 1880 @ May 25 2011, 03:22 AM) Man, I'm finding new threads every day... Right now, I'm reading "To Kill A Mockingbird", and it's a great book so far, can't really say much about it other than how good I find it. I've just finished English Lit. where Mockingbird was our post-1914 prose to study. You couldn't wish for a better book, if you have an analytical tendency with books.

USB Connector Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I just finished Y: The Last Man. The last 300 pages are incredibly depressing. Now I started re-reading Dune. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Stiiiiill reading "Dreamcatcher" (King). His books are impossibly long but so addictive. I've put off reading Far and Away (GASP!) because I'm so entranced by the King. xD It's a really, really good book but it's so gross and disturbing. I'm kind of glad I didn't pick it up years ago when I was first starting to read King's stuff, haha. You really have to have a certain amount of maturity (and a strong enough gut) to read it. It's grosser than probably any book and any movie I've had the pleasure (or mispleasure) of reading/seeing. BUT GOD, IT'S SO GOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love those books. My mum got me into them. I'm currently reading Contact by Carl Sagan. I've loved the movie for years, thought I'd give the book a try.

(: I read the book prior to seeing the movie and then the film made me mad. xD; But I'd like to hear your thoughts on the novel and the differences. Personally I think it's one of the best sci-fis I've ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imaginos Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I've just started "61 Hours" by Lee Child. On a related note, I've just read an alarming post on another forum claiming that a movie of the first Jack Reacher story "Killing Floor" is to be made with Tom Cruise in the lead role. WTF? They better put him on stilts or something. Talk about bad casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Just started Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. -Jane- recommended it, and since she's reading all the Ender books I recommended to her, I figured I should return the favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 http://images.swap.com/images/Books/53/9780385527453.jpg Evel: The High-Flying Life of Evel Knievel: American Showman, Daredevil, and Legend by Leigh Montville. What boy, born around the same time as I was, didn't get excited by Evel Knievel? Written by the same author as Ted Williams, another great book I've read. Montville is a great sports biographer.

Mr. Not Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Tried out this Real World 101 book I got for graduation. A cringe at the end of every paragraph, ho boy. Hopefully, in the future, it will be worth referencing for something. Going to try out The Great Gatsby now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the one which posits that the 1980s are still affecting the direction of American life? Our culture and attitudes and politics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvgeddy05 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Far and Away: A Prize Every Time (NP) I know this is just a enhanced collection of his blog postsings, but I've been meaning to get the book regardless. The thing is, when I read the blog, I usually skim most of it and look for the Rush-relevant blurbs. With the print book, I am taking in the whole book along with the photographs. His writing is so peaceful and since I am nursing a running injury at the moment and can't do my marathong training, this is helping me heal and be calm.

CMWriter Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. With the movie coming out I'm getting all hyped up for it. ...Edited to say I'm reading the fourth book because it's my favourite, not because it's relevant to the movie. xD But I guess it is kind of because it's part of the same series..? Yeah whatever. I'll probably reread the seventh book (Deathly Hallows) before Friday. Edited July 11, 2011 by CMWriter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
