I started that one just last week, but I really don't have time to finish it right now.

I'm reading the Bible for my Old Testament class. We have to finish the Old Testament before December. I'm about halfway through...just finished Esther this morning.

I just read "on the farm" a little kids book

for preschoolers! lol!

b.banner · 11-05-2003, 08:08 PM

i just finished Starwars:legacy of the jedi

Starr Polish · 11-07-2003, 06:18 PM

The Vampire Lestat,by Anne Rice. I just finished Interview with a Vampire, and I was captivated by it. So far I'm having trouble getting into this one. I don't know, I guess I'm a minority in saying I like Louis better. I am, however, less than halfway through the book (Lestat and Gabrielle are being taken to les Innocents...it seems very...odd).

hectorberlioz · 11-08-2003, 01:01 AM

I'm TRYING to read David Copperfield. I just cant get into it because of all the work i have to do constantly.
But it is good so far

***Earniel*** · 11-08-2003, 10:27 AM

Finally finished 'the complete work of shakespeare'. Fiew! That took a while! Now I've just started reading 'The picture of Dorian Gray' and the fifth HoME-book.

Artanis · 11-08-2003, 11:30 AM

Oh, I'm reading HoME 5 too. Actually I'm reading no less than four books at the moment, alternating betwen them: HoME 5, 'The Raven and other poems' by one of my favourite authors, Edgar Allan Poe, Tolkien's 'Tales from a perilous realm', and 'The Karamazov brothers' by Dostojevskij. That's how it goes when you don't have the heart to choose only one.

Quoteth the Raven, Nevermore.

I always try to limit the books I'm reading at the same time. My bedside shelf can't bear too many books at once. If had needed one more week for Shakespeare, I think it would have cracked.

Yes. He's such a gloomy writer. I love it.

do you mean you've read all his works? wow! that's hard. Specially cosidering how bad are his early plays

***Earniel*** · 11-08-2003, 06:20 PM

Yep, read them all. At least, the book said it held the complete works, I guess I have to take its word for it. They did get a little alike after a while: this girl dresses up like a man, that girl does the same; this guy thinks his wife is unfaithful, that woman thinks likewise, this king starts a war in France, that one does also ect, ect....

But I said to myself, that if I wanted to upgrade my poor knowledge of Shakespeare's plays, I had to do it right in the first try.

Shadowfax · 11-10-2003, 09:13 PM

Eärniel, you just finished all of Shakespeare...I just finished "Hamlet"!

And now I'm reading "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë.

hectorberlioz · 11-10-2003, 09:17 PM

i bought Hamlet a couple of days ago

then i looked closer...and it was abridged!

Oh that's one of my favourites. I've had a crush on Heathcliff since my early teens.

Really? I wanted to beat him with a pointy stick, personally...

Shame on you!

Starr Polish · 11-11-2003, 08:16 PM

I have a kind of crush on Heathcliff as well. Eheh...I just read Wuthering Heights in the last year, but I loved it. I know Heathcliff was horrible, but I didn't want to beat him nearly as much as the elder Catherine. ARG!

cee2lee2 · 11-11-2003, 09:52 PM

When I first read Wuthering Heights, I adored Heathcliff and Cathy. I thought it was such a romantic story. But the older I get, the more I want to beat them both with pointy sticks.
