oh, but this is much different than just insanity. this is conceited evil covered with excuses. i really suggest you check it out.

hectorberlioz · 10-01-2003, 02:05 PM

I'm reading 'Great Expectations' now

Elfhelm · 10-01-2003, 02:33 PM

Henry James, The American.

cee2lee2 · 10-01-2003, 07:01 PM

Is this the first time you're reading Pride and Prejudice? It's one of my favorite novels....I read it again almost every year.

hectorberlioz · 10-02-2003, 12:24 AM

my older sister really loves reading jane austen and the bronte sisters.
I switched to reading stephen lawhead's "the paradise war"

One of my favourite books, if not my very favourite! Have you read any other Austen novels? I would recommened Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility especially. Jane Austen is an excellent writer (though not actually a Victorian one - she's Regency, sorry to be picky!

)

Elvedans · 10-02-2003, 11:20 AM

Well i'm actually reading P+P for the first and second time at the moment. I'm reading it firstly for pleasure and i'm about halfway through, but i'm also reading it for English Literature and we're quite a way behind so i'm reading each chapter twice effectively!

Evenstar1400 · 10-02-2003, 07:27 PM

im reading The Mists of Avalon. im not too far into it but its good so far.

(stupid 90 second rule)

Lizra · 10-02-2003, 08:54 PM

The Return of the King!

I'm enjoying it immensely as I sit thru my son's karate class. And now that icky guy that's been bugging me, can't!

hectorberlioz · 10-03-2003, 01:03 AM

*sigh* cant decide wether to read "great expectations" or "the paradise war" by stephen lawhead.

Shadowfax · 10-06-2003, 08:45 PM

I'm still reading The Count of Monte Cristo, and on the weekend I started Shakespeare's Hamlet (ugh) for English.

Funny, didn't know Great Expectations was by Stephen R. Lawhead.

EDIT:

For me, Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton.

Sheeana · 10-11-2003, 03:41 PM

Sabriel, and Morgoth's Ring. Jumping between the two at the moment.

sun-star · 10-14-2003, 12:07 PM

C.S. Lewis' The Four Loves and lots of books about old age pensions. Guess which one I prefer

heh, heh!

Re-reading C. S. Lewis' Surprised by Joy. Wanting to pick up some Chesterton. Hey Gwai, I just emailed you and asked if you had read any Chesterton! I also want to pick up Don Q., on Artanis' recommendation, and start Karamazov (sp)?

Too many good books, not enough time!

Am finishing up reading Lewis' The Horse and His Boy to the kiddos. I can't read the part when Shasta goes back to save Aravis w/o crying!! I had to ask hubby to read it

Snowdog · 10-14-2003, 06:48 PM

I just finished the forth book of the Annals of the Black Company. It was probably the best one, though 2 (Shadows Linger) and 3 (The White Rose) were good. You could almost start with Shadows Linger and read The Black Company (the first one) as a prequel.

So what to read next.....

hectorberlioz · 10-15-2003, 12:02 AM

well...finished Great Expectations(by charles dickens. Gwaimir.)
great book.

i loved it. Kinda dont know what to read next...
guess i'll read the paradise war by stephen lawhead...

I reckon you'll be busy for a long time! I started reading Don Q. more than 2 months ago, and I'm still not finished.

Karamazov is also on my list (the list is loooong).

Percy Weasley · 10-19-2003, 11:40 AM

Oh my, other than class books?

Not much time for reading, but I'm currently in the middle of reading Douglas R. Hofstadter's book: GÃ¶del, Escher and Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid -- a metaphorical fuge on minds and machines in the spirit of Lewis Caroll.

Unfortunately, I haven't had much time as of late to read as I have been suffering through midterms, and I might have to go back and review before I can continue. Fascinating book, though.

***IronParrot*** · 10-19-2003, 02:45 PM

Recently finished Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery, which I rediscovered after having forgotten about it over the years. It's a charmer of a novel. I also read Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer for the first time, and it was jolly good fun.

Oh yeah, and there are my textbooks, too.
