what are you reading right now? - Page 18

Wayfarer · 10-11-2002, 01:31 PM

What am I reading right now? Nothing, I can't find anything good. Normally I go through a 500 page novel every few days. the sheer volume is staggering.

Has anyone read alistair reynolds? Best new author I've seen in a long time.

Radagast The Brown · 10-12-2002, 04:48 PM

I read now David Edings, Belgeriad the first, and I read Adams, the forth in the hitchhicker thingy too. Unfotunately I read an english book too, I don't remeber its name, the author is Agatha Christy.

Garina · 10-12-2002, 06:38 PM

Wow, you have good taste in books. David Eddings, Douglas Adams, AND Agatha Christie!
*bows respectfully*

At the moment I am in between books! I have just retrieved my LOTR copies from my friend, after she borrowed them for 2 months!!!!!!! She wasn't even reading them!
I have just finished reading Magic's Price by Mercedes Lackey.

Liviaine · 10-12-2002, 07:38 PM

I'm currently reading The Once and Future King by T.H. White. It's wonderful. I'm also re-reading The Fellowship of the Ring .

Aeryn · 10-12-2002, 09:44 PM

well I am reading a number of books...sortof....
Schnoogle's (not really books but worth it)
Bio of Soujourner Truth
A book about abraham lincolns to almost gravestite robberys.

BeardofPants · 10-13-2002, 07:34 PM

STILL the Code Book, and HoME 4. Yep, that's right, I finished the lays.

galadriel88 · 10-13-2002, 10:33 PM

Two books, Simple Gifts by June Sprigg (about the author's time living with the Shakers) for History Club, and Boy Meets Girl by Joshua Harris for myself.

It's the sequel to his first book, I Kissed Dating Goodbye, on which I have started a thread about in this forum. I finished IKDG in a week, and it looks like I'm gonna finish this one in 2 or 3 days! They're really good books, I can't put them down

Hanza · 10-14-2002, 02:54 PM

I'm reading one book at the moment. i'm reading the second Artemis Fowl. Its really good and i recommend it to anyone. read the first one though first. It makes more sense that way. I started reading
Three men in a boat
A walk to .... something
The witches, roald dahl RULES!

I'll finish them sometime. But i love reading books you just bought sometimes they just seem more appealing.

sun-star · 10-14-2002, 04:53 PM

I just finished Tess of the d'Urbervilles (possibly the most pessimistic book ever written) and now I'm reading the Age of Innocence. I also have to read Enduring Love, by Ian McEwan, for English Lit. Fun

I couldn't finish that. It was too.... upseting. I got about 3/4 of the way through it before I got bogged down in that whole tragic/depressing thing.

**crickhollow** · 10-14-2002, 07:35 PM

Someone told me the ending, and I haven't had the heart to even begin it...

Radagast The Brown · 10-20-2002, 04:19 PM

I finished the first book in belgeriad, Edings, and finished my book report, so:
1. I have another book report.
2. I strat the second, Belgeriad, Ediings.
3. I haven't finished Adams yet.

BeardofPants · 10-21-2002, 12:49 AM

HoME 4, Chronicles of Narnia, and a Liz Berry book.

Radagast The Brown · 10-23-2002, 03:13 PM

I finished Adams and The third of Eddings. I love Eddings.

***Earniel*** · 10-23-2002, 03:36 PM

BOLT 2 and Cats of the Pharao's: 4000 years of divine grace.

BeardofPants · 10-24-2002, 01:17 AM

Lets see.... I'm juggling HoME 4, Narnia chronicles and the Akira comics.

FoolofaTook · 10-24-2002, 07:26 PM

I am currently reading Unfinished Tales. I'm also reading Lord of the Flies for school, though I haven't read much of it yet.

Jadera · 10-24-2002, 10:05 PM

Right now I'm reading the fourth Harry Potter book. I read the first three, so I figured I might as well see how it goes, all though I nearly flipped when I saw how many pages it was. Holy cow. It's long, for a HP book.

I'm almost finished with The Poisonwood Bible. Sad, but very interesting.

Now I have to pick between The Great Gatsby and Dracula for a book report. Oi.

I read the Dark Knight returns (someone mentioned it....) a while ago. Strange, strange storyline if it's the one I'm thinking of, and a little bit dark. But a little morbid reading never hurt anything.

That would be me.

Have you read the sequel?

Coney · 10-25-2002, 01:06 PM

Frank Millers work on Batman was cool, but if you want dark (and insane) Batman, Jim Stalins Death in the Family is amazing (one of the best Graphic Novels I've ever read).

What I'm reading right now -

Steven Hawkins - A Brief History of Time (Bloody confusing as I've never had more than a cursory interest in science since finishing Comprehensive School).

The Beach - because someone left it at my house, it's a bit slow, promises a lot but is failing miserably to deliver, does the guy EVER find the guts to try to get off with the french bird?...somehow I doubt he will

Tom O' Connor Autobiography - cos everone's reading should have a little humour content

Old issues of 2000AD comic - cos I found them in my loft and I'd forgotten how good they were
