SHerlock Holmes IS great, Catch 22 is one of the hardest books to start, but it really gets going. Frankenstein is awesome, and does poop. I am always reading several things at once, and the currents are...The Long Goodbye, by Raymond Chandler, An Actor Peprares, by Stanislavsky, Roman Lives, by Plutarch, and Plato's Republic...again...
That is a bad ass book. I was just telling my best friend about it last night and she hadn't ever heard of it. Good taste bro. But for me, tonight it's just Hustler. December 2001.
My subscription to Jugs Magazine just ran out... Now that the obligatory Last Boy Scout reference is out of the way: Oedipus the King- Sophocles Essential Spider-Man Volume One- Stan Lee and short stories. Lots and lots of short stories.
"The Source" by James Michener Pretty good book. Instead of a textbook, we are using this in my world history before 1600 class. I've really gotten into it. Too bad it is 1100 pages long!
Oh, we were being serious. I'll third how good Ender's Game is. I just finished Ender's Shadow. Before that, Speaker for the Dead and American Gods. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is on my shelf, likely to be next in line.
That's another great one we were looking at last night. It's not your regular King for sure. And I like it more now since he was traded to the Astros and I can say "The guy this book is named after plays for the Astros"
i really disagree with the religious stands of this book. i do not believe in the rapture...the bible says "Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left."...but if you read the whole chapter, it is saying that nobody knows the hour of the 2nd coming, and that we will be caught by surprise, some will go to heaven, some will not. As it says in the Bible, when Jesus comes, every eye will see him, every ear will hear. read this: http://www.christiancourier.com/penpoints/leftBehind.htm I found the movie entertaining, but the rapture idea just didn't line up with what i had previously studied. sorry for all those that don't wanna talk about religion, just had to speak my mind on the issue.
i read books like never but suddeny this week i've had a few. drown, junot diaz going postal, ?? god of small things, arundhati roy
I need to read something on how to have a lot of posts but maintain a sane life. I have 4000 posts now, Im getting to be Old around here, Is this the point in time when i become either a casual poster or commit my life to reading the bbs? Jeff write a book or something.
Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier. Im about 3/4 of the way through and I get the impression that it is a bit overrated.
i read it too, it was a nice book, but i liked dracula better. i read those also, al of them, but do you mean by the first book the book "Dune"or "house Artreides". i liked the 3 prequels the best, and the original book also. í just read the lord of the rings, i loved the book.one of my favorite books. Along with "the secret garden".
I'm re-reading Amber by Roger Zelazny. A fantasy series of pure brilliance. Plan to read Alexandria Quartet by Lawrance Durrel later on.
Almost finished with The Two Towers...I wanted to finish it before the movie came out. It's a lot better to read the book first and then watch the movie than it is do the inverse. Other than that, I'm reading a riveting book entitled Learning XML. By the way, has the SI NBA preview come out yet. When does it usually come out? That's the only Sports Illustrated issue I buy.
That would be ME. I recommended it in this thread and this thread. A-Train also recommended it in this thread. Good man! Dune kicks ass! I'm eagerly awaiting Sci-Fi Channel's Children of Dune miniseries... I read those in college, and I'll be damned if I remember anything in those books... For those of you reading the Ender's Game series, don't forget about Bean's new book, Shadow Puppets.
Vescey, they are doin Children of Dune?? That rox! Sci-Fi channel rules.. Just finished reading Carpe Jugulum, started re-reading The Hobbit, and am reading The Beat Goes On, and Access 2002... and of course.....CC.Net BBS..duh!
