I just read Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. Really enjoyed it. Read it straight through in one sitting and now my neck is killing me.

Was thinking about the lyrics of mc chris's Ratz for the first half though:

I read a simple short X-files book that I finished in 1.5 hours. And before that I finished Eaters of the Dead. And saw The 13th Warrior.

Now I'll read another X-files book and then War of the Worlds.

I finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last week, and I'm about to start The Summer of Katya by Trevanian.

If you liked HHG you'll like the rest of the series. Apparently the Salmon of Doubt is really good.

I finally finished Eragon and started reading The Secret Life of Bees.

Yup, thinking about reading those as well. I'll probably buy them when I find them in English.

Romeo And Juliet for a class assignment.

lame.

Canyarion · 02-02-2006, 03:43 PM

I also started in Romeo and Juliet. I like it so far, as a masterpiece from another time. Classic sayings as "have at thee!".

I just read the Jarhead novel, and i must say i liked it more than the movie. As usual the book is better.

Just finished The Da Vinci Code.

It was pretty damn good.

I'm going to start reading one of Dan Brown's other books, Angels and Demons tomorrow.

Woo!

Happydude · 02-08-2006, 03:41 AM

yup, they're good books

i'm currently reading 'Xenocide' by Scott Card, half way through it and it's pretty damn good.

'Children of the Mind' is next and then maybe digital fortress

Just read "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. Very good. See the movie "Capote" as well. It is worthwhile.

I saw Capote about 2 months ago.

So far since I moved to Virginia and only take a couple of night classes I have read:

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
re-read American Gods by Neil Gaiman
A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
Stardust by Neil Gaiman
Harry Potter 6 J.K. Rowling
Basic Cooking skills for dummies, err I'm like 1/4 through it. I cook as I go.
Read a lot of poetry by Pablo Naruda
The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

and just today I started reading "In Cold Blood"

Heh finally got around to it.

Also it's a graphic novel but...

Marvel 1602 by Neil Gaiman. I think there is a second one now also.

Ginkasa · 02-22-2006, 08:18 PM

I've been stuck in the middle of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell for a while now... Its good, but I haven't been in the mood to read, I guess...

/me shrugs and walks away
