What books have you read lately?

[Acarr]

I'm having to read "an inspector calls" for an essay -_-' I'ts like 100 years old and the only film known to man about it is in black and white. At least it's better than shakespere.

[Limely]

I´m reading Slawomir Mrozek´s The Life for Beginners. I don´t know what to call it really. It´s a sort of collection of very small short-stories. I got it for my 16th birthday and never really picked it up until now.

I'm currently reading The lord of the rings 3. I really enjoy reading tolkin books these days

[Acarr]

I borrowed a book from the library- "The diary of a Chav"- since StaceyW told me that chav is another word for ned, I just thought I'd take a look

[Limely]

I bought myself Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony today. I love the Artemis Fowl-books and I´ve been wanting this one for a while now so...
Anyways if I start reading it now I´ll just finish it in like, two days, so I´ll save it for the weekend. Hmhmhm next weekend... <3

[El Dango]

My first post here. I have to say, that all i read in my spare time is comics. Okay, hte Harry Potter series too, but mostly comics.

[Limely]

Been reading a lot lately. I´ve finished Artemis Fowl and the Lost Colony and a book named Historien om Glenn Anton (The Story about Glenn Anton) which was surprisingly good for a book we had to read at school.
I´m currently reading Inkdeath, the third book in the Inkheart-series. If it´s anywhere as good as the previous books then I know I´m in for a good time.

[Holy Crap]

I just finished reading 'The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'. It was all four books in one. And, it was really awesome.

[Xenon]

I have to read 40 pages each day of a book called Small Island. It needs to be finished by the end of half term, you see.

[Holy Crap]

I have found a fantastic non-fiction book called 'The Lucifer Principle'. I reckon a few people here would certainly enjoy it. I'd say Hunch, Tobbe, Spiral and probably Xenon would like it.
Shawn would hate it though.

[Tobbe]

Currently reading The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins.

[Shawn]

I'm reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson.

I'm sorry to any of the fans of this book, but, I have to be honest.

I hate this book. It's not the story, or the characters. No.

IT'S HOW ANNOYINGLY WORDED EACH PHRASE IS!!

It's like every little thing that happens has to take several sentences to explain it, making it hard for me to get excited and keep reading.

I wanna read a more modern book.

[Zay-el]

Asimov is one of the best sci-fi writers in my opinion. X3 His entire Robot-Empire-Foundation legacy is immense, and very much enjoyable...I think out of the 30+ stories I've read from him, only about 1 was boring.

BUT, I'm currently reading As I Lay Dying, by William Faulkner, for an english competition......this book's a murder. @__@ The story itself ain't too bed, but they language-style they use in it drives me up the wall. DX

[Acarr]

I haven't read a new book in ages!

I picked up Fleshmarket by Nicola Morgan. It's based in 1828, and it's so disgusting how graphical she wrote an unhygienic surgery... I was gagging.

[Serza5]

The last book (manga) I read was Tokyo Mew Mew. xD

[Acarr]

I read a first page in a manga book once and I was completely confused XD

[Serza5]

You have to read manga from right to left lol. xD

[Acarr]

LOL that makes sense now XD

[Shawn]

I've been reading The Giver by Lois Lowry. I'm almost done with it, too. Great book.

[Holy Crap]

I just found a great book: How to insult your hosts in many languages.
Hunch, je vous deteste, vas crever.
Matyuv, yeb vas.
Tobbe = kuk suger.
There aren't enough langueges in it. Also, there are no spanish, italian or german people here as far as I know.
