what have you read recently?

[Drageuth]

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.

I'm reading A Brave New World right now, it's pretty... twisted, I'm waiting for a protagonist to show up.

[Mistral]

Evolution, by Stephen Baxter. It's OK, if a little bizarre in some of his speculation.

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.

[MasJ]

Yeah Space Odyssey rocks!
I've recently read Sydney Sheldon's Sands of Time and currently reading Harry Potter - Prizoner of Azkaban (yes.. I'm bored )

[Zaladane]

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....

[mushindo]

I just finished Paradise Lost. Quite interesting really but overall enjoyablity was minimal.
