what are you reading right now? - Page 47

Lizra · 08-22-2003, 11:21 AM

I am reading "The Courage to be Rich" by Suze Orman (Hee hee

) It's really good. I like it! .....First law of money...."People first, then money, THEN things"

Things are not as important as money (when you really stop and give it thought, because money can buy things, but things can't give you money. If you sell your things, you never get near the money you had to give for them) so quit blowing your $ (or worse, using credit!

) to buy things, when financial security will probably make you much happier. (then you will have $ to buy things, if you really think they are important to your happiness) or something like that!

I'm now reading Summerland, Michael Chabon's baseball-centred children's fantasy.

Starr Polish · 08-24-2003, 12:14 PM

I'm reading Mrs. Dalloway, by Viriginia Woolf. I haven't gotten very far though because I already have a quiz on Monday, a paper due and two other assignments. Ah well.

Artanis · 08-24-2003, 12:54 PM

I'm reading 'Half a life' by Naipaul. About a young man who is trying to come into terms with himself, but doesn't succeed very well.

Jinnigan · 08-25-2003, 09:46 PM

The Salmon of Doubt.

Douglas Adams. Collection of essays, speeches, and more after his death.

Alternatively, Out of Control, by Kelly... uh...

Right. Kevin Kelly.

I'm reading The Unicorn Dilemma, by John Lee. Has anyone ever heard of the book or auther?

***Earniel*** · 08-26-2003, 05:38 PM

I've read The Unicorn peace and The Unicorn war by John Lee but I never got my hands on the other books from the series.

Starr Polish · 08-27-2003, 07:45 PM

It is my personal opinion that Virginia Woolf was crazy.

This book is insane.

durin's bane · 08-28-2003, 04:35 PM

I'm re-reading Two Towers for the third time. Yes, I only read the same books over again.

Salquënòrëwen · 08-28-2003, 06:41 PM

I'm reading the OotP and the RotK off and on...It just depends which I mood I'm in, HP or LotR

Varda Oiolosseo · 08-29-2003, 05:15 PM

At the moment i'm starting to read a book called Shadowmancer by G.P.Taylor.
It looks really good.

Shadowfax · 09-03-2003, 07:31 PM

Norse Poems translated by W.H. Auden and Paul B. Taylor (poems from the 10th-12th (?) centuries in Iceland).

nessa · 09-03-2003, 08:41 PM

Hi! I'm on the last few pages of Stephen King's 'Wizard and Glass', book four of the 'Dark Tower' series. This is a re-read and is in preparation for October when the fifth book is released.

Once finished I will then start his 'Eye of the Dragon'.

Sheeana · 09-04-2003, 01:44 AM

Just sped-read my way through Janet Evanovich's One For The Money. It was damned funny.

Silme*Christian · 09-06-2003, 02:24 PM

I am now reading J. R. R. Tolkien's: The Book of Lost Tales 1

Ornelírë Mistë · 09-08-2003, 05:58 PM

Chekhov's Seagull, The Lady with the Lap Dog and Other Tales, and The Apprentice (bio. of Jaques Pepin).

Goldberry1 · 09-10-2003, 05:12 PM

We're about to start reading "Beowulf" for school.... I don't know about this. (But at least it's a translation, it's not like I have to make my way through Anglo-Saxon.)

My AP English 12 class is reading Beowulf too (but I've already read it). I really love that poem, and it was a huge influence on Tolkien too! I hope you enjoy it. Oh, by the way, which translation are you reading? I highly recommend Seamus Heany's verse translation (it has the Anglo-Saxon on one side and the translation, which is beautiful btw, on the side facing it).

That's the same one that I have to read... and you're reading it in an AP class?!? I'm in 10th grade and it's one thing we have to read for British Literature (which is what everyone in sophmore year takes at my school).

hectorberlioz · 09-11-2003, 08:46 PM
