Ya know I bought the audiobook for The Time Traveler's Wife, which was a huge mistake...'cause it was actually really raunchy.
>.> I recently picked up an old Tom Clancy book I missplaced. I'm a sucker for a war story. |
I just bought Kurt Vonnegut's 'Timequake'. I really hope it's good.
|
'Holes' by Louis Sachar. Schoolwork requires me to do so.
|
"They Came to Baghdad" by Agatha Christie.
|
"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead," by Tom Stoppard, and "Invisible Cities," by Italo Calvino.
|
Nothing. I need something new to read.
|
Slowly working my way through the end of Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke. (I may have misspelled her name...)
|
^^ I love Inkheart :lovestruc
The Light Fantastic, by Terry Pratchett |
The Great Gatsby for English
|
^I love "The Great Gatsby!" It's such an enchanting love story... if you like it, try reading Fitzgerald's "This Side of Paradise." It's a bit more contemporary has a wicked sense of humor.
I'm reading "Snow," by Orhan Pamuk, and "The Torrents of Spring," by Ivan Turgenev. |

Well "Timequake" was something of a let down. I'm probably going to read "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters" next, seeing as a friend got it for me for my birthday. It should be an interesting read if nothing else! |
@Rabid @PixCii
Yeah, its a pretty okayish book. Sheesh, if I was Daisy and a man loved me that much I would melt in his arms! |
"Tempted" by P.C. & Kristen Cast
|
I just finished Cirque Du Freak and Im going to read the Vampire's assistant.
|
Nothing... but I want more of the books from the Sweep series. Why does it have to be 14 books long. XD
Well, I am rereading New Moon in preparation for the movie. |
"They Beat The Odds", Reader's Digest thingy for school.
|
just got Dan Brown's , the Lost Symbol.
will start reading later tonight.. |

"Akhenaten, Dweller In Truth" by Naguib Mahfouz.
|
Eragon, by Christopher Paolini.
I've come to the conclusion it's a rip-off of Lord of the Rings, contains pretty much every fantasy cliche possible and has a stupid plot. But it's entertaining. And cool. So I'm not going to get too analytical. |
^Should I regret not buying it? I wanted to, but I changed my mind.
|
^^ Well, I think it's a good read so far, entertaining with lots of fighting and nic eimagery and so forth. I've only read part of the first book so I'm not the best to ask.
The only problem is that the plot is quite cliche and so are the characters...if I looked too hard I'd probably find lots I didn't like. I wouldn't buy it straight away, but I'd definitely read it from a library or something first and if you like it, then go ahead. |
^^^ I always joke that Eragon is Harry Potter meets Star Wars set in Middle Earth. Alright, but nothing particularly new or interesting.
|
Eragon = Aragorn
Arya = Arwen I wonder where Mr. P got his names from.... |
God, I couldn't get through Eragon. It may just be me being picky, but the majority of the chapters ended with something like
"and suddenly he felt a sharp pain on his head, and fell into darkness." or "he allowed the darkness of sleep to overcome him." or "he lay his head down, closing his eyes and succumbing to the darkness." I mean really! There are better ways to end chapters. |
