What have you been reading?
 

Yes, I made a thread about books on an anime site. For those uninformed of us :

Book n : A set of written, printed, or blank pages fastened along one side and encased between protective covers.

I recently finished reading "1984" by George Orwell. Just a tad bit depressing, but overall a very good read. It reminds me alot of Fahernheit 451 and Animal Farm.

Before that I wasted all my spare time reading through George Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire". A very engaging and original series(that's right kids, original fantasy). Argh... can't wait for the fifth book.

The ending of 1984 pissed me off, but it was a great ending nonetheless.

I just finished reading Needful Things by Stephen King, which was totaly awesome.

I am currently reading The Double Helix for my Biology class.

oh man, i could never bring myself to really like a stephen king book... i tried reading The Stand... got bored of it about 100 pages in...

i dont really read physical books anymore, though i find Stephen Hawking's books to be quite thoughtful.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

The Stand is not a good stepping stone to get into Stephen King.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

Wow, I love reading but I don't have the time or money for books. The last fiction book I read was probably World War Z, and that's almost a year ago.

it helps to have a public library nearby...

Re: What have you been reading?
 

It helps to have 4... yeah, I'm spoiled.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

There are a couple, very underwhelming though, as this is a small town.

Also, the no time thing :S.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

oh man... it sucks to be out in the boonies... im in a college town right now, so theres a decent library on campus, but its not like i actually borrow books anymore -__-

Re: What have you been reading?
 

i am supposed to be reading Fahrenheit 451 for the TAL book club but i can't find it in stores here so i may have to get it by other means.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

@Loki : Surely your local library would have such a classic book?

Re: What have you been reading?
 

local library doesn't and natl library is in town hate going there.. (small island so not far, just hate town aka capital)

Re: What have you been reading?
 

I've been reading twilight and PDF spec sheets on various wifi cards and laptops.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

@Chris: raaaaaaaage.


I want a translation of the Sword World novels. Lodoss is probably one of my favorite anime (I should get my hands on the manga) so any of the novels would probably interest me.

Not book related, but I haven't read a lot of good fantasy manga. Most tend to be Harem mage schools... Any suggestions?

Re: What have you been reading?
 

@loki, you can buy the novel Fahrenheit 451, its not that big, so it shouldnt be expensive at all on amazon or something.

http://www.amazon.com/Fahrenheit-451.../ref=pd_cp_b_1
less than $10 USD (without shipping)

it was quite an interesting book, had to read it in my high school English class.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

10USD = 67TTD approx then shipping to Fla via skybox which i have to get then clearing customs here....

sigh can't be bothered really.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

o_O Trinidad? dont see people from there very often. you could just use the "Kindle" service that amazon has... not sure if they have Fahrenheit 451 on the kindle service though.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

1 series I just finished reading a little while ago (until the other books in the series come out) is Ranger's Apprentice! It comes highly recommended from me and my mom, those of you who know Chelle XD I got her into the series, and both of us absolutely love it ;O

Re: What have you been reading?
 

I'll have to check that out then, Mimiko. =D

One series I'm currently reading is the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks.

Re: What have you been reading?
 

I wish I could read as much as I used to. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies. Alas, I am extremely picky about what I read and I'm pretty busy these days. -__-
