I just finished Dune...I liked it. Are the sequels worth reading?
I bought Great Expectations by Charles Dickens today for the bargain price of $4.95. I couldn't pass up the oportunity to buy such a great book. It's a very nice edition, with pictures and is in hardcover. So I'm reading that now.

I just finished revelation space. It took ages, cos I just couldn't get into it. It was... weird. I can't quite decide if I liked it or not.

 But I don't have glasses (as yet).I have read Wolf Star, but not Hexwood because I don't really like the books Diana Wynne Jones writes for older kids. They are more sci-fi, which is not my cup of tea. |

I am reading none other than the two towers, right now. I am also in the middle of The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy, which, if i'm not mistaken, Ninquelote is a fan of as aquired from your sig. Those books are so funny!

oh, and I have also finished the third book in the Foundation series. Very interesting books to me. They are cool, because it is sci-fi, but it's somehow believable, like the future could happen that way.

Yup, that I am. It's hilarious. Although I only got halfway through 'So long and thanks for all the fish' before realizing that I had to go back to school... I haven't picked it up since.

 BeardOfPants: The rest of the series is crap?  Oh well i probably wouldn't finish them anyway.Ninquelote: Thats about how far i am in the Hitchhicker's Guide. I stopped when I felt a sudden urge to re-read LotR.

I'm reading Jurassic Park. I love it so far. I've seen the movie and being crazy had to read the book. Also Algebra for the Clueless.
 Quadratics and all . . .

I was going to read that when I was in my 'Read any popular fantasy book' phase.( I basically borrowed any books that were popular. This was because I had just finished a really good book, and when this happens, I get upset. The only way to cure this is to read another really good book... and so the vicious cycle continues) But I didn't due to:
a) It was sci-fi. I don't like sci-fi b) I reread TT just in time for the movie, then got hooked on Tolkien's books again. |

I can't read as much as I want to at the moment, because I'm revising for exams. Of course, some of my revision involves re-reading books, but it just isn't the same, is it?

I'm reading the Silmarillion, too. And I'm not exactly what you'd call a speed reader either. I'm also reading Sense and Sensibiltity by Jane Austen.
