I'm reading Pendragon: Merchant of Death. It's actually not that bad. I thought it would suck ass... XD

.

At the moment I'm reading Tithe. Even though it's at times highly disturbing and out of this world sick, it's okay!
It isn't out of this world sick! It's in this world sick. That type of stuff truely does happen. Maybe one day you will realize that. Hopefully not from first- hand experience. <_<

I'm reading "A Kierkegaard Anthology (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0691019789/sr=8-1/qid=1139491412/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-8208482-1080023?%5Fencoding=UTF8)". Only difference between this book and mine is that my book was published back in 1946 and is falling apart. He mentions some pretty interesting points and outlooks on life, religion, love, exc..

Just finished reading Thud by Terry Pratchet.
Another great book in the disworld series, this time following the leader of the Watch of AnkMorpork. Will Vimes be able to figure out a murder and stop a full blown war.
Am now reading and almost finished 'A Hat Full Of Sky' by Terry Pratchet
Another younger adult book based in discworld Following Tiffiny Aching a training witch and her Blue Pixie companions. Thrown out of fairy land for being 'pisshed'.

I'm reading The Penultimate Peril By Lemony Snicket

Then...Marlon wants me to read Pendragon. I'm also ready some Edgar Allan Poe. The book is HUGE and it isn't worth many AR points so I doubt I will finish it anytime soon. Uh....Let's see...I'm also reading Teen Love. It is from the makers of Chicken Soup...which freaking rock! Uh...I want to finish the Giver....Soon I WILL snap and read ahead. My friends already snapped. :( >.< Damn!

Hm... I just finished reading Ptolemy's Gate. The best one out of the series in my opinion. I recommend it highly. Hm... I think I'll read the Da Vinci Code next...

I'm reading the 'Torment of others' by Val McDermid. Its a reli gd book for people who enojy crime/psychological thriller/tension/ suspense/ terror so on.

But not for the faint hearted... quite a lot of death/blood/gore.... more suitable for older people... but depends on the mind..

I finished the Penultimate Peril. YAY! I can't wait till the thirteenth book. End of the serious. Poor Baulderlaire children. *sigh*

FINALLY!!! I finished Vanity Fair!! And when I took the test on it, I got 100%!! WHEE~!

FINALLY!!! I finished Vanity Fair!! And when I took the test on it, I got 100%!! WHEE~!

Lucky :bleh:
I've got to read To Kill a mocking bird and Lord of the flies for my english essays! n i dont wanna read them! x_x

finished the crucible and the thingys they carried.

TTC was waaay confusing. So the whole book was a lie?

meh.

and unline you guys, we don't have tests, we have CAPT essays!
whee~

..not.

Beyond Good and Evil, by Friedrich Nietzsche

An analysis and rejection of western societies ideas about good and evil along with our ideas about god. Going on to chritiscise the route taken by christianinty. Offering a new path with a cellebration of the 'now' and thinking of self and giving power.

I've got to read To Kill a mocking bird and Lord of the flies for my english essays! n i dont wanna read them!
lord of the flies is a brilliant book. nt sure about mocking bird though

mocking bird was pretty good.
scout still annoys me..

*mumbles about tomgirls*

I thought Lord of the Flies was brilliant. It was quite humorous, too... in a way.

To Kill a Mockingbird was kind of boring (to me), and I didn't find it all that captivating.

Hm.. well Lord of the Flies is quite gd, but my teacher who is constantly ranting on about her life story doesn't really help you to get into the book; i mean i could write a bloody biography on her! -grabs head- arhhh!

I personally liked To kill a mockingbird better, but it's probably because i read it on my own...

Now, I started a new book called "Kingdom of the Golden Dragon". I'm barely by page 10 and I already like it. :huh:

(I dun really know why I keep getting big books.)
(Oooh, I know why!)
(Okay, why?)
(BECAUSE ALL THE BOOKS ON YOUR GOD DARN LEVEL IS BIG!!!!!!!!!)

I'm weird. I'm talking to myself.

God's Secretaries: The Making of the King James Bible by Adam Nicolson.

A history of the men who translated the Bible into it's most popular form and the Social forces that influenced them.

To kill a mocking bird is such a touching story once you manage to get past the first few chapters, that is. Boo Radley is my favourite character in the book I guess.

I recently read The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom, I definitely recommend it.

I read The Da Vinci Code. It was highly enjoyable and well written. I like the fact that all people involved had their own motives and beliefs, and were all people of the same kind - but on different paths. I don't get why Christian people get so furious at this book. They shouldn't take it all so serious and just read it for pure entertainment.

I thought the whole "Mary Magdalene" thing on the Last Supper painting was brilliant. The Yin&Yang comparison of her and Jesus (clothing-wise) and the threatful hand at her throat too. Even though I don't believe it is actually Mary instead of John on there, it was written in a way it could be so. The whole "0,618" thing was also interesting =D

"A Dictionary of Wit, Wisdom, and Satire" - Herbert V. Prochnow

=] It doesn't have a storyline but I think its great.


Free speech - the right to argue about issues you dont understand.

Pity - Often a perception of our own troubles through the woes of others; it is a clever anticipation of the misfortunes which may befall us. We help our neighbor to make sure of his assistance under similar circumstances; hence the kindness we do others is in truth an anticipated kindness we do to ourselves.

Hatred - The cowards revenge for being intimidated.

I've changed my mind about The Great Gatsby...it's a really great book!!! XD

has anyone read eragon? i'm half way through and i'm really enjoying it:lol:

has anyone read eragon? i'm half way through and i'm really enjoying it:lol:
I wanted to get the book but I didn't have enough money. ;.;

I've read Eragon. It's creative and all, for a fifteen-year-old.

I've read Eragon, Eldest, and I'll be through Empire (the third book) in about two days when it comes out. I'm not trying to brag or any thing it's just that I'm a very fast reader. I agree and It's a very creative book for a 15 year old. :sweat: :\ :4eyes:

I thought he was nineteen when he wrote it....W/E I read it and I want to read Eldest.

I fnished reading The Merchant Of Death (first of the Pendragon series) And I am now reading the secong of the series.....(I forgot the name XD) It is a good series.

Yes. I liked the Pendragon series.

He was fifteen when he started writing Eragon, nineteen when he ended.

Oh ok.... My friend wants me to read The Midnighters. Seems interesting. But I think I will read Eldest first. Ironside come out next year!!!! Woot! Woot! At least, I think it does. This year I believe more Spiderwick books come out. Um....Yeah...

Has anyone read 'The Supernaturalist'?

Nope, but whats it about?

*Does anyone here read "The Edge Chronicles" by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddle?

Marlon read them I believe. I never had the chance.

Has anyone read 'The Supernaturalist'?

Moi. What about it?

I want to read 'the broker'. Is it a nice book? The Da vinci code was entertaining with complex storyline but I didn't really like the writing style and there are too many french sentences I don't understand.

I almost bought a book today.

Didn't happen though.

I just can't take that chance, the books here are like $25 each.

You can buy an album with that money.

:(

The Da vinci code was entertaining with complex storyline but I didn't really like the writing style and there are too many french sentences I don't understand.

Yeh i've red that book, it took me a while to get into ti, but it was quite good after!
Anyone read his other books?

I've read Angel and Demons...

Is it any good? Cus i don't know anyone else who as read the book.

It's practically indentical to The Da Vinci Code. The motive, theme and writing that is, not story-wise. It's about the conspirated sect Illuminati who are up to no good.

ohh, i dont think i'll bother reading it if it's nearly the same as the Da Vinci Code.

It's good. I reccomend it.

Yes. It's the same style, but different plot. If you liked the Da Vinci Code, you'd probably like Angels and Demon, so try it.

Alright! But after i've finsihed the book i'm reading.

Does anyone read any Garth Nix books?! E.g Sbareil, Lirael, Abhorsen, Mister Monday, Grim tuesday.. so on

right now i am reading tsubasa vol. 8 but looking for ceres vol. 14http://www.manganet.it/manga/tsubasarc/tsubasa02.jpg

I started/finished reading World of Warcraft: The Sunwell's Trilogy last night and it's pretty cool but I wanna read the rest of the series.

*Does anyone here read "The Edge Chronicles" by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddle?

I read the first book and only got through like 100 pages in the second... :think:

Anywho, I'm reading the Never War (the third book in the Pendragon series). It's not that bad. Kept me interested. Only 50 pages to go, and I started yesterday. XD

EDIT: @Moonlight_stalker: I've read Sabriel, that's about it. :sweat:

How many pages is it?

Does anyone read any Garth Nix books?! E.g Sbareil, Lirael, Abhorsen, Mister Monday, Grim tuesday.. so on

I have tried to read Sabriel, but I found it boring. I think that book was the first one in which I actually started but never finished reading. I only continued as far as five chapters because the person who recommended it to me said that it will get better. To me, it didn't.
I thought the plot of Mister Monday is intriguing, so I'm trying to get ahold of that book now.


How many pages is it?

The Pendragon books are a series, and each one is around 300 pages and increasing a little each time.

I have tried to read Sabriel, but I found it boring. I think that book was the first one in which I actually started but never finished reading. I only continued as far as five chapters because the person who recommended it to me said that it will get better. To me, it didn't.

Same for me. XD I finished 'cause I had to, for AR (Accelerated Reader).

Bleh, the books those people pick have got to be the most boring ones. It's more for stamina, really, I think...

Same for me. XD I finished 'cause I had to, for AR (Accelerated Reader).
LOL. If I didn't like my AR book, I just didn't finish it then guessed on the answers on the AR test. I always failed when I guessed.

Bleh, the books those people pick have got to be the most boring ones. It's more for stamina, really, I think...
It actually really just depends on what kind of books you like. I found a lot of the AR books pretty good. Especially the thick ones.

Of course. My style just isn't their style.

lol

'The Supernaturalist' was the best sci-fi book I have ever read. I wish I could write something like that....

I am currently reading It by Stephen King. I'm pretty sure most of you have heard of/seen the movie. I also enjiy reading Robert Cormier's books, though they are kinda short.

Im reading the Silmarilion by Tolken and some random stuff in this encyclopedia about Arda. Great stuff.

I don't think that reading an encyclopaedia really needs to be posted up here.

I am currently reading Animal Farm by George Orwell. It's about farm animals taking over england. "four feet good, two feet bad"

EDIT: I just finished it. I must say, i am thoroughly depressed after reading this book. A great, but depressing ending. Many lessons are tought in this book, and I recommend this to anyone.

Currently reading Dracula by Bram Stoker (I read it as Stroker as first =/). Great novel! Can't put it down!


Weee!

Yeh i had to study 'Animal Farm' for school. The first half was pretty gd, then thats when my teacher showed us the video.... omg 'was that' boring! a 1-2h cartoon with the animals constantly neighing and baa-ing, as if having a converstaion! after that my motivation went plummeting down.

im re-reading Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix because i ran out of books to read in my house and if i borrow from the library, i forget to return it so yeah... digging through my bookcase to find something to read. and my backpack is braking my back. TToTT

I could see why you would have to study Animal Farm for school, then ending is the most important aspect of that. To make a movie of it probably does kill it. Some things are better off not remade.

I just finished reading Howl's Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones. It's a wonderful book. Anyone that saw the movie by Miyazaki should read it. It's a lot different, but definitely not in a bad way.

You want to read a truly depressing book? Try Orwell's 1984! "A boot-heel in the face of Freedom...FOREVER!!!" *That's* depression! The saddest thing is that most people read it and take it as a warning -- Our Pres...uh...*King* George the Shrubbish seems to have read it (or had it read to him) and taken it as a textbook. :bleh:

1984 is George Shrubbery's bible :bleh:

I'm reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of fire. OMG yes I AM reading Harry Potter. After fighting it for almost ten years one month ago I had to give in. 'T was a sad day but I have to admit the books are pretty enjoyable.

Just read "And then there were none" by Agatha Christie, and now I have to review/analyse it for English class. It was pretty good =)

I read quite a lot (6 hours a day)

So i've just currently finished re reading the harry potter series in 2 days. (im bored now i set time limits on my reading) but right now im reading 'triumph of the sun' by wilbur smith. I recommend wilbur smiths books to anyone theyre great and very detailed, except for a few that are just a bit........ weird.

:blink: 6hours a day?! Wow

btw does anyone read Philip pullman's, Northern lights?
There is going to be a film on it, because on the news this morning i heard they're doing auditions for the main character, Lyra (spelling?) in Cambridge, England.

Phillip Pullmans books were good. Especially subtle knife. But in his last of the trilogy (Amber Spyglass) hte pace was very slow and was filled with things that i myself found dull.

haha i knew that too! buts that because i saw newsround...once... i was just flicking through....please don't judge me.:\

i dont think i can cope if its not in three parts
i hated the radio edits as it is

Just read "And then there were none" by Agatha Christie, and now I have to review/analyse it for English class. It was pretty good =)

I really admire you, I never seem to be able to read through her books too despite the good comments about them. I got "State of Fear", now to read it...

haha i knew that too! buts that because i saw newsround...once... i was just flicking through....please don't judge me.:\

What wrong with newsround? it's just a kiddy version of the news...

Oh, i'll certainly take a look at it? What is the title again?

1984! "A boot-heel in the face of freedom...forever!"

or just "A boot-heel in the face of freedom...forever!"

meh, sorry i'm having a blonde moment and can't figure it out >.<

You know how the school always have a set of books that you have to read in your English class by the end of school year? Well I was thinking because we are being "forced" to read those book, we wouldn't enjoy the book as much as choosing a book out of the library's shelf.
I'm reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. It is basically about a prominent man in an African American tribe and his downfall when he attempts to stand up against the European Missionaries (those who want to convert people of another culture to Christianity). I learn a lot about the daily function of the tribal people, but "What the Hey" the book is terrible and I fell as sleep plenty of times reading it ^_^;

Night, by Elie Wiesel. Fascinatingly (Sure, it's a word...) morbid. Must be the fact that it is all true.

Oh, i'll certainly take a look at it? What is the title again?

1984! "A boot-heel in the face of freedom...forever!"

meh, sorry i'm having a blonde moment and can't figure it out >.<

It's 1984. "A boot-heel in the face of freedom...forever!" refers to the last line of the book.

Everyone should read "Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. Has anyone read " Heart of darkness" by Joseoh Conrad? How is the book?

Night, by Elie Wiesel. Fascinatingly (Sure, it's a word...) morbid. Must be the fact that it is all true.
That book terrified me. Everything was described to the last gruesome detail. In a word, amazing.

I'm reading Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer. It's an O.K. book.

Garth Nix pwns all.

Ummm... I read Sabriel, and it sucks ass. Meh. I guess that's my own opinion.

from the past few days i've read The Locket, The Good Earth, Get That Girl Out of the Boys' Locker Room, The Twelve Clever Brothers and Other Fools, Never Mind!, Charm Club: Angel, Aesop's Fables, and another one but I forgot it's name

Garth Nix does writes some gd books, but i thought Rag doll was a bit....weird.
I was hooked on The old kingdom trilogy, i'm sort of getting into The Key's to the kingdom.

I'm wondering if anyone knows gd book which i could take on holiday? Cause there's no street lamps in Lanzarote, so i don't think i'll be going out at night. :\

I wanna read the rest of the Avalon series. Only read the first book. It was awesome.

I just finished reading "The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kaftka.
Sad book.
Kinda deep too.

Yes, I got into the fad and read "The Da Vinci Code", but I quite enjoyed it! Can't wait for the movie.

I finished "state of fear". Pretty good plot there, in my opinion. Except you have to filter through loads of information. It does give another perspective to global warming.

im reading "white as snow" now. its like.. a dark twist to Snow White. i'm loving it =]

I finished the Never War, finally! Next I want to read the reality bug. Until then, I will read Magic or Madness.

"In The Heat of The Night"
I forgot the author

this book's awesome! I thought it was going to be boring but it's good! I have to finish this book for novel studies and I am enjoying it!

basically it deals with rasicm and a murder mystery

Hmm...

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones <3. I really like how humorous the author writes the story, although I was really confused when Howl and Sophie get together at the end! It got me addicted to Diana Wynne Jones book, though. Besides Howl's, I'd reccomend Fire and Hemlock (it's just fascinating when I read it XD)

Currently reading Ribbons by Lawrence Yep. It's about a Chinese-American girl who loves ballet but is forced to quit because her parents are in debt to her grandmother. It almost made me cry when I read it in homeroom XD!

reading Lucky by Alice Sebold. It's not bad, sorta like The Lovely Bones.
Not a great book tho.

SPARTAN - by Valerio massimo manfredi.

An amzing book, I reccomend it to all.

And talisman of troy sucks beans.

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones <3. I really like how humorous the author writes the story, although I was really confused when Howl and Sophie get together at the end! It got me addicted to Diana Wynne Jones book, though.
I recommend you read Jones' Chronicles of Chrestomanci. Her best work in my opinion. Those books made her one of my favorite authors.

Chretomanci rocks.

Best are Lives of Christopher Chant and Witch Week. but they gave it a girly new cover.:bleh:

Could someone recommend me a book?

I'm into the black humor kind of thing, Trainspotting is a book I really enjoyed. I've been told to read Gravity's Rainbow, can I get some verification on that?

:)

Heard good things about Gravity's Rainbow, but haven't read it.

Hmm... why not try:

Iain Banks, The Crow Road.

First sentence:

"It was the day that my grandmother exploded."

i finished the Rality Bug and I plan on getting started on Paint by Magic by Kathryn Reiss

I had to postpone Dracula in order to read The Great Gatsby for english class. 'Tis a really good book (Gatsby). Fitzgerald is amazing!

Reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas at the moment

gatsby is pretty amazing.


I just finished the chocolate war and im starting the stranger soon.

themes about existentialism.

interesting philosophies.

The Da Vinci Code

I submitted to the madness plus it was on sale at Hastings! suhweet~

OOOHHH did you read angels and demons? it was awesome!

Re reading Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov.

-I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
-By the false azure in the windowpane;
-I was the smudge of ashen fluff--and I
-Live on, flew on, in the reflected sky.
-And from the inside, too, I'd duplicate
-Myself, my lamp, an apple on a plate:
-Uncurtaining the night, I'd let dark glass
-Hang all the furniture above the grass,
-And how delightful when a fall of snow
-Covered my glimpse of lawn and reached up so
-As to make chair and bed exactly stand
-Upon that snow, out in that crystal land!

Brilliant.

i keep on hearing angels and demons was better than teh Da Vinci Code, I've read the Da Vinci Code but who has read both?

I've read Da Vinci but not Angels and Demons.

It's a good book but ridiculously overrated. You'd read it once for the storyline but I wouldn't understand why you'd read it again.

i haven't read the da vinci code but angels and demons tells you about robert langdons first adventure. it has alot to do with the illumanati.

i keep on hearing angels and demons was better than teh Da Vinci Code, I've read the Da Vinci Code but who has read both?
I have read both and I like Angels and Demons better. I felt like slapping Robert through most of the Da Vinci Code. But, they are both good.

I have read both and I like Angels and Demons better. I felt like slapping Robert through most of the Da Vinci Code. But, they are both good.

I read em both, just re read angels and demons (read the davinci code along tome ago so....)

I liked em both, maybe the davinci code alittle more (but perhaps since I read angels and demons afterwards it might have seemed a little repetitive) A&D is definetley more movie-ish but and the davinci code is alot more complicated (which is something I liked).

Im just now noticing I want to re-read the da vinci code... damm book.

I recently read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. It's about a guy who doesn't realize he's unhappy with his life until he runs into a strange girl he found bleeding on the sidewalk. What's so awesome about this book is that it doesn't turn into a guy-saves-girl love story. It's more.
I'm currently reading Wicked. It's like a really warped side of the Wizard of Oz and takes a closer look at the wicked witch of the west and Glinda.

I've recently reread Eragon and Eldest which are the best books I've read.

I just that recently (and I'm now afraid of girls in velvet), It was a very good book. Anything Neil Gaiman makes is usually good.

I finished Maurice by E.M. Forster. Gay fiction which I find really funny, not that it is suppose to be.

I just finished reading the Lightning Theif. It is an amazing and imformative book having to do a lot with Greek Mythology with a combonation of modern. Now I'm back to reading Paint By Magic. Good book.

I'm starting to read Inkheart. Good book, even though I've only gotten through the first hundred pages so far. :heh:

its so weird that they always make the 2nd book in a series into a movie if they make any at all. (ex.narnia, davinci code, etc.)P.S. i read lightining theif too. super awesome:)

I agree about Neverwhere. I love Neil Gaiman, he manages to pull off strange worlds with really interesting storylines. I recommend Coraline, also by Neil Gaiman, even though it's for younger kids it's still a cute, if not slightly odd story about a girl who goes through a door in her house and ends up in a different world ruled by her creepy other mother.

Sandman, good comic

I just started reading the Da Vinci Code, kinda wish I started (and finished) before the movie came out though, but I just got a copy of the book from a friend today

I just started the series "Left Behind".

Quite interesting.

Finished Paint By Magic this Morning. Now I'll probably read Inkheart

i'm reading the dark is rising by susan cooper. its the second book in the series "the dark is rising".

@ME411- OMG i soo forgot about them books! i loved and read all of them!!

Ughh...I haven't even started the second book of the Avalon series. T_T With any luck I'll start today.

Prey, by Michael Crichton. :w00t:

Flames of the Tiger, I like that one... I'm more into war history than fantasy like Harry Potter.

Geez...you sound like my one friend...

The Stranger -- Albert Camus


Amazing book.
Talk about straight out existentialism.

Instead of reading the book II, because I can't seem to focus on it, I read Egyptology. Tonight I'll probably read Wizardology.

Right now I´m reading "Frankenstein" and the fift book in the serie "the wheel of time". The latest book I finished was a book that could be translated to "Stoneheart" (it´s written in swedish, so it haven´t got any english title) The past week I finished Three other books. Those were:
"1984"
"The Flowers of Hiroshima"
and "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"
As you may notice, I read a lot. If you were intrested (which you probably wasn´t, but now you know anyway)

you read the wheel of time series too:) i finished book 11^.^ still not over yet.....
im currently reading Monster by Frank Peretti.

Gonna start reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

next on my list is *drum roll*
Angels and Demons-Dan Brown

Gonna start reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
it is a very good book, found it a bit hard to read. easier than clockwork orange though

currently reading
- da vinchi code, by darren brown
- gospel of mary magdolen(or excerts from it to be more precise)
- Thus spoke zathura, by Neicher

i started reading the da vinci code. then my cousin stole the book :hey:

I read Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier. It was very bad 1/10 I'd give it. Poor plot structure, failed to acheive any sense of romance. The rising to the climax took too long and the climax ended too soon, and the book itself had an abrupt ending. However Charles Frazier's writing style and technique is superb.

A Time to Kill by John Grisham.

asassin-ted bell

I rerererererereread all of the Archie comic books (100+) in the past week outta boredom (i only read each once or twice)

I have recently finished reading:

Cell By Stephen King
To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee
and Night By Elie Wiesel.

All good books, I didn't think Night was as nearly as sad as people say it is.

My next book that I'll be reading will be Animal Farm by George Orwell.

I just finished Watership Down and I loved it ^_^

I read some of Jack London's books including:
The Call of the Wild (classic)
White Fang (great)
The Sea Wolf (stunning)

A great author, It's imperative that you go to the book store or library and get one of those. Right now. well, what are you waiting for? NOW!!

I read the Call of the Wild. I loved it. I haven't been able to rea much lately. T_T

Davinci Code: after being pushed by all my friends lol.

What to listen for in Music: I know, I'm a geek.

Assasin trilogy and The tawny man trilogy by robin hobb.

They are so good. You guys have to buy them. They are all around a 1000 pages so they last you a while.

about 2 weeks for mex_x

Sea Wolf
I Never Promised you a Rose Garden
The Once and Future King~

Wonderful~

I was reading Misery by Stephen King but I couldnt bring it with me because I got it from my aunts local lybrary which is 100 miles away....

o.<

I always had trouble spelling Libaray is that right?

You should read the book The Bad Place by him if you haven't already. It is easily his best novel.

I am currently reading Daily Reflections for Highly Effective Teens. Quite a cool book even though I'm not turning a teen til next yr

Some weeks ago i readed a swedish book (english translated name) Below the surface. It was about a girl and a boys complicated love story.

I'm Reading PS. I Love You. Quite sad but I think its mainly for girls... @_@

I'm reading It...again.

I also recently bought Les Misérables; I'll be reading that soon.

I'm Reading PS. I Love You. Quite sad but I think its mainly for girls... @_@

I just started "The Picture of Dorian Gray" I have heard it is a great book...

Just started Memnoch the Devil.

I'm Reading PS. I Love You. Quite sad but I think its mainly for girls... @_@

Deleted

Ivanhoe... I must finish it tomorrow, and there's still 240 pages left

Then get off the internet! Read! Hurry!
Lesse, I just recently finished up Anna of Byzantium and that's probably the best book I will read for a long time. A VERY LONG TIME. And I read Catherine, Called Birdy. Spunky little girl, but a very good little book. ^.^

1984 - Orwell
Cantabury Tales - Chaucer

Yay

Currently reading Night by Elie Wiesel.

^1984 was a crazy book. I liked some pieces.

Reading Confessions Of An Ugly Stepsister and The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow. Even though I haven't even finished Memnoch The Devil yet...

Night is boring......
hum, currently reading Mythology by some author....I forget......>.>

The Pretties

Although I haven't read The Uglies which is the first part of the trilogy, it seems really good

Seikai: Princess of the Empire and The Stolen Child.

So far the Keith Donohue has done a downright awesome job on Stolen Child, and I'm just an otaku for anything Seikai (so I'll leave out the fanboy stuff).

trying to read The Iron Ring but I was bored ever since the first page

Being force-fed The Red Badge of Courage for her English class...

*dies from boring literature*
*is revived by the fantasy genre*

Death Note... again...
>.<; I haven't had time to read anything. It's been a while...

I'm reading Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles. It's about when humans go to mars and start turning mars into it's own society. It's really neat.

Weird, im reading the same book.

Hoot by Carl Hiaasen

An amusing tale (apparently based on actual events) about three kids and their efforts to save some burrowing owls from a greedy corporation in a small Florida town.

Whoo! Airborn! It's the best book! I forget the author.
....wait, no it's not.....Inkheart is......

I'm reading Firestarter by Stephen King. I'm really into these horror novels.

right now im reading the book Twilight. Its a really good book. The sequal is out but i have to finish this one first. My friend told me it was being emo. But i dont mind emo books. I find them Interesting......

We're reading Uglies in advisory. I finished Airborn last Friday. I'm gonna check into the Silverwing Trilogy later.

The Pretties

Although I haven't read The Uglies which is the first part of the trilogy, it seems really good

Just Pretties. No 'the'! But Uglies, Pretties and Specials is a great trilogy :D Scott Westerfeld rocks! At the moment I'm reading 'About a boy' for english class, 'Shaman's Crossing' by Robin Hobb, 'Thunderbird Falls' by C.E Murphy (err, i think that's her name) 'Code Name Cassandra' by Jenny Carol (aka Meg Cabot), and something by Sherrilyn Kenyon that I can't remember the title of, lol. All pretty damn good books!

Yes, I read a lot of books at once! Reading it great :D

Finished reading The Iron Ring, The Dollhouse Murder, and Something Upstairs. Read them all at night and had a hard time sleeping. Lol

I'm reading "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar & Six More" by Roald Dahl. Gotta love children's books.

At school for English we have to read Point Blanc. It's pretty cool....I suppose.

Currently enjoying Wolf Tower by Tanith Lee. Halfway through and only got it yestermorn.

right now im reading the book Twilight. Its a really good book. The sequal is out but i have to finish this one first. My friend told me it was being emo. But i dont mind emo books. I find them Interesting......


My friend read that book. She says it rocks. I'm going to read it when I'm done with my book: "Curse of the Blue Tattoo" .it's a really good book. Well, I like it.

Finsished - 1984

It was good. A bit more okay actualy, but I cant stress more that the way it was written was great. Some parts were drawn out, probably to show how their lives were like, so much it was pure bordom. The ending sucked so much though, it was so depressing.

Reading - Martian Chronicals

20,000 leagues`under the sea. how man generally does not possess the restraint or ability to control power.

Alice in Wonderland.

Simply beautiful.

gaaaaaaaaaay.

Alice in Wonderland.

Simply beautiful.
:huh: Are you like 5 years old or something?

no! Im 13. Im just saying that book is gay. Thats my opinion.

:huh: Are you like 5 years old or something?

I doubt it if I've read Lolita, Ulysses, and the Stolen Child.

It's a classic, just like Gulliver's Travels, so you should always be refreshing the story in your mind.

Try reading it Objectively, and you'll see a lot of things that the story is quite complex. Doing research of the author and his surroundings also enriches the story. Then again, I'm a bit of an alice fanatic.

I still think its gay

As you did say before, but was that last post really necessary? After all, you did post that opinion explisitly twice, and implicitly once; all back-to-back. :spam:

Right now I'm also reading Kaye's arabian romance "Shadow of the Moon".

r we tlkn bout alice or the other books?
*trying to get a new book*

I am currently reading nothing, but when I get the chance I want to read:
Alchemy by Margaret Mahy
The Mysterious Island by Jules Verne
I looked for other books to read, but my freakin' school has 4 GRADE BOOKS. That was YEARS ago. Why can't the retards at my school at least be at a level that saves them SOME dignity?! x_x
If anyone knows some good 12+ grade books, I'll accept your reccomendations gratefully.

On a maturity level, or on a language level?

Language, please.

May not be what you're looking for, but here are some good ones; most with excerpts.

Solstace of Leaving Early (http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781400033348&view=excerpt)
Lovely Bones (http://www.bookbrowse.com/excerpts/index.cfm?book_number=1057)
I've said it a million times now, but Lolita is brilliant literature, despite the pedophile nature.
Last Town on Earth (http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781400065202&view=excerpt)
The Stolen Child (http://www.randomhouse.com/nanatalese/stolenchild/excerpts.html)
1984
Thirteen Moons (http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/excerpts/2006-10-02-thirteen-moons_x.htm)

Catcher in the Rye, Great Gatsby,and Of Mice and Men are three great classics everyone should read at least once before dieing.

I have gotten dystopian fever, so I also recomend such books as 1984 and Fahrenheit 451. Also, speaking of such authors, theres The Martian Chronicles which is a great put-me-up into reading because its a bunch of short stories.

I have a list of hundreds of classic books that I need to read from [I got it from my teacher], and Ill see what I can fish up when I find it...

Thanks guys. ^_^ I'll check out those excerpts.

I'm going to read 1984... someday...

Read THE BEACH. Wow.

Im reading New Moon. The second volume from Twilight. Its pretty emo right now though. My friend was right.....

Dang. I finished my book. Nine Days a Queen. Hmm, I think I'm gonna look for the books M suggested. ^_^

The last one I read was Zipped by McNeal & McNeal...and The Beatrice Letters

I am desperately seeking Lemony Snicket's The End!!! I must reaaaaaaaaad.....:cry:

currently reading "Bar Code Rebellion"
barely on page 42
so far so cool although "Mfumbe" is a weird name
and thers gonna b a book fair at our school soon
ima buy all these cool stuff

Gee. I never read books. I find it too tedious. XD But lately I have really like this book called "A Swiftly Tilting Planet". Much better than the award winning prequel in my opinion.

I just read Tuesdays with morrey, it was very nice..havent read in a while. Short and sweet ;)

Right now im reading a hitchickers guide to the galaxy, its fun:)

[Edit]

I just finished it...damm I need to get my hands on the next ones...like ASAP.
Language wasnt that hard for me..then again I hardly know words..I rely too much on context.

I found the language most confusing.

Finished reading:
The Five People You Meet in Heaven
a couple other books that i forgot the name

Currently Reading:
The Quilt Trilogy (dont have the 1st one so starting w/ the 2nd one)

I just read Tuesdays with morrey, it was very nice..havent read in a while. Short and sweet ;)

Very nice book, from what I did read 'fore my sis took it back. :sweat:
Now I'm reading: A Knot In the Grain and other stories.
It's as long as it sounds. Basically, it's a giant advertisement for the authors other books. :\

Gee. I never read books. I find it too tedious. XD But lately I have really like this book called "A Swiftly Tilting Planet". Much better than the award winning prequel in my opinion.
I loved that book. I read the whole series. I think it was a trilogy but I'm not sure. It's pretty cool though.

Les Miserable - Victor Hugo
Johnathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach

Both great books, while Livingston Seagul seems to be a childs story when you dont really think about what you read.

Finished Last Silk Dress

I finished the book "A hard boiled wonderland and the end of the world", which was a pretty strange but interesting book. Now I'm reading the Da Vinci Code.

That book was so 'meh', I couldn't understand why everyone was so over it (Da Vinci).

@RD: Livingston seagull is in no way a childrens book =P After you're done with it, I suggest you read "illussions" by the same author. It's a book that will make you (or anyone else for that matter) think!

Well, I got it from my sister while in the hospital so I can't not read it, can I? ;)

I just barely finished The Count of Monte Cristo. It was pretty good, but there wasn't a sword fight yet there was in the movie. Oh well^_^
I don't know what I'll read next. What would you suggest?:lol:

Finished reading Shonen Jump (Volume 4 Issue 11) and Chicken Soup for the Teenage Souls: The Real Deal (about school)

Shounen Jump isn't really a book though....

It kinda is

@RD: Livingston seagull is in no way a childrens book =P After you're done with it, I suggest you read "illussions" by the same author. It's a book that will make you (or anyone else for that matter) think!

In the way that its short and full of pictures of seagulls. lol. and ill do that.

Shonen Jump isnt a book. Manga isnt a book ADDPERIODHERE

Okay. Fine. Sheesh. So touchy.

I just finished reading the latest volume of "The Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan. I'm now reading The elegant Universe and the last vol. of Artemis Fowl ^^

Just finished reading 'The Time Traveler's Wife' by Audrey Niffenegger.
Fantastic book! I strongly recommend it!

Starting on 'Hitman' by Max Kinnings

Finished reading "A House of Tailors"

11/4
Finished reading "Bound" which is a Chinese (I think, I'm not sure) version of Cinderella
Finished reading "Messenger"

The Joy Luck Club.

Pretty funny sometimes.

Chinese translations and "pin-yin" (if it's even supposed to be pin-yin) suck, which is weird considering the person writing is Chinese.

Well, I read part of the Bible every night (lol, not the whole thing!)
Other than that, I am reading this crime book (Want to Play? by P.J.Tracy) which is about these crimes being copied from a computer game. Won't spoil it for anyone who wants to read it. Also, Fermat's Last Theorum, by Simon Singh. Strangely enough, it's about Fermat's Last Theorum, and how it was finally proved by Andrew Wiles! Woo, he rocks! :D
Manga: Gravitation (3)

Currently reading the Merlin Trilogy. Very long book and small letters (readable for me) but it's really cool. Already in the 2nd book of the trilogy.

P.S.
The whole trilogy is in one big book

Les Miserables - Victor Hugo [wonderful book, though only a bit into it]
The Koran - Mohammed

Dunno if this counts since it is a short story but I'm re-reading:
Masque of the Red Death - Edgar Allen Poe

^_^
Lol I only read the first 15 pages of Les Mis and forgot to finish it. But the movie is wonders.
