The Key of Light- Nora Roberts
First book by her I ever read. Pretty good.
Thought you had said "first book I ever read" for a while there... Anyway, I'm now reading Three Conversations (Correct title?) by Vladimir Solovjev. Very good stuff.
Oh yeah, I'm also going to pick up some of Dostojevskij's stuff from the library next monday. I'm hot for dead Russian writers.
Im currently reading Nordahl Grieg.....
fun = nope
Xenocide - Orson Scott Card
I admit its just brain candy, but a decent read none the less.
Some book about the History of Great Britain between the years of 1500-1700. Scintilating stuff, I must admit. Lots of murder, executions and wars and stuff. Bang on the money!
I haven't read too much. Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel and Iris by Micheal Burton. That's about it. The former is a fucking brilliant novel. The latter is kind of whacked out.
Ive read a book The Giver but i only read it because i was being marked....readings for pussies
that's pretty much all we do on the forums... is read...
oh god that was a terrible book.Quote:

"oh look the apple is red, wow!"
I'm reading A Brave New World right now, it's pretty... twisted, I'm waiting for a protagonist to show up.
Evolution, by Stephen Baxter. It's OK, if a little bizarre in some of his speculation.
V�r �re og v�r makt - Nordahl Grieg
Norwegian stuff. pretty boring actually
Key of Knowledge- Nora Roberts
Black Foxes.
We were at school, and were told to choose a book, and since I'm not really an avid reader, I just grabbed the first thing I could find, which happened to be this thick cunt of a book, never really intending to read it.
Then, when we get outside the library, the teacher springs a book review on us :(
I figured I may as well read it, rather than make it up, since it didn't look that boring. And, as it turns out, it was on of the best books I ever read.
It's about these two fellas in 19th century England. This bloke Tyrone is some rich fella who inherited a big estate from his parents who died when he was 21. He decides to go on a trip into Blackchest, the village place, to buy a horse with his mate Oscar. That night some woman who happens to be Tyrone's cousin, called Silke, turns up and she ends up coming along with them, even though Tyrone hates her (though Oscar and her end up getting married and having a bonk).
On the way to the town, they meet some Lord Silverdale bloke, and after the go and get their horse, Tyrone ends up getting shot by Silverdale and Silverdale is killed by Oscar in the process.
And thats only on like the 40th page (out of about 500 or so).
Other stuff happens, like Oscar and Silke having two children, then Silke pisses off to Paris, then a couple years later Oscar dies. Before that, Tyrone has a love affair with some maid, then she leaves (and they find out she dies).
Like 18 years later, Tyrone finds out that the dead woman he fucked had a child, and he finds his way to Tyrone somehow.
That's the book in a nutshell. A rather large nutshell, even though I missed some important bits out :)
Good book. Excellent book, I suggest you read it. Kept me interested, unlike most other things.
Cant remember if I posted it here or not, but the last series of books I read recently would have been the Space Odyssey serial. My favourite would have to be the original, 2001, as its simply awe-inspiring. Splendid.
Yeah Space Odyssey rocks! :D
I've recently read Sydney Sheldon's Sands of Time and currently reading Harry Potter - Prizoner of Azkaban (yes.. I'm bored :D)
I finally finished book 9 of the wheel of time. Crap, these books make Lord of the Rings look like a pop-up book for 6 year olds....
I just finished Paradise Lost. Quite interesting really but overall enjoyablity was minimal.
Reversal (chapters 1-5) by Kouri Arashi
The Pianist-wladyslaw szpilman
GOOOD!
Ragnarok vol. 10 - Myung-Jin Lee
Did I already mention Carter Beats the Devil?
I've been reading books about raising the dead and stuff. It's called Lirael.O_o And it's continued in Abhorsen. Wierd names huh?
The fine I just got for losing my train ticket. Wierd huh. There goes $200 :( And that was the first birthday present I got. Really made my day.
I just am finishing reading Enders Game. Very good book. I also just finished King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table a week or two back, and that has become one of my favorite books. So many chin-splittings...
^^
Seriously dude, what was up with that whole obsession with parting the skulls in that book. It was like second nature to them or something :dizzy:
Well since Trump is so much more known nowadays I read some of his books. I like Trump: The Art of the Deal, very good.
I'm about halfway through <i>Kushiel's Avatar</i>, the final novel in the trilogy by Jacqueline Carey. I don't think the trilogy has a title...
Now you just have to read <i>Crossroads of Twilight</i> and <i>A New Spring</i>, the latter being a prelude to the entire <i>Wheel of Time</i> series. Fucking brilliant novels, those.Quote:

So, by "being cool," you actually mean "having way too much free time and nothing productive to do," right? Actually, if I was in that situation, that would be pret-ty DARN cool. Sure, I'll start reading them! I've gone through 34... maybe I should start at number one, eh? :grazy:Quote:

Finally finished Carter Beats the Devil. The ending was good, and therefore the book is awesome. Buy it, $15 American.
