Title: What are you reading now?
Post by: Sick_Angel13 on May 03, 2008, 08:32:47 PM
I've just finished reading "The Regulators" by Richard Bachman and thought it really was a Stephan King without conscience.
Currently reading "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown, VERY similar plot-style to The Da Vinci Code so far.
Afterwords I'm planning to read Stephan King's "The Colorado Kid" or any other of his I haven't read yet.

And you?

Hey Nina,
if you like Coelho try Ben Okri 'Astonishing the Gods'. Probably the most beautiful book I've ever read.

Im actually reading 2 books currently.The first is called "Strong Fathers,Strong Daughters" I have a 4yr old & it was a Fathers Day gift from my mom.The 2nd is called "The Demon Haunted World" by Carl Sagan.I consider it the best book i've read to support my personal atheistic view towards religion & the topics discussed here but it also includes just enough empathy or even a  bit of longing for the supernatural if you will.

Augh, what a pain.

I have to read three books for school this summer. And I have to report on each. Once I find out what books those are I'll post the names. They are completely irrelevant to any interesting topics I'm sure. But I think one of the books is called, "The Life of Pi." I know not the story line though. x_X

Hysterical Blondness
By; suzanne macpherson

This girl named Patricia starts a diet pill. She wakes up one morning with blond hair instead of her brunette hair. She hates blonds. So far I haven't read to that part yet. I just read the back and to pg.48.



just finished it. so good, and so romantic. Patricia almost marries the wrong guy, but she found her groom doing his ex-gf on the wedding day

Post by: 7VII7 on December 16, 2008, 05:48:02 PM
I'm currently not reading anything now but I was bored so I'm gonna put some of my favorite things.

First:

Garth Nix, I gotta admit, this guy's good, I've read all the books in his keys to the kingdom books, most of them twice, great, I've read shade's childern, really good as well, bit mature then it needs to be and too morally but still great. I haven't read the trilogy he's famous for 'cause the covers look stupid and I hate it when they try and get you to read something because of the writer and not the substance of the book but I might make an exception to this.

Second:
The midnighter's trilogy, I won't give a summary or anything but EVERYBODY on this site would enjoy it. If I remeber correctly the guy that wrote this is the same writer for the uglies/pretties/extras series (which I HAVEN'T read yet because as stated before I judge on books not writers) I also read a short story of his in a science fiction collection that involved vampires, which I think is cheating, but it was still good.

Tetarily(not sure about the spelling but it means thirdly): A Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur's court by Mark Twain, while not as famous as his other stories it is, as far as I'm care, the best of his stories, the plot is just what the title suggests and it's a really, REALLY good book, my only problem with it is that it ends too late, yes too late, he ruins a perfectly good story by explaining how the main character got back to the present and why there's no evidence of his time travels despite NEVER EXPLAINING HOW HE WENT BACK IN TIME IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!! And thus turning an otherwise happy ending into a sad one, my suggestion: when you get to the chapter titled Two Years Later, stop reading, ending it there, be happy with a perfectly good happy ending.

Ugh, this said I should probbably do those book reports (not that I will)
