What books have you read lately?

[Xenon]

I am reading 'Small Island' and 'King Lear' for my English classes.

[Cairnie]

Only books I mainly read are non-fiction. Been reading one I picked up from a charity shop today about looking after dogs.

[Limely]

I just read and reviewed a short story called "Premienovella" (The winner-short-story, kinda, I guess. I was never good at translating). It sucked balls but I´m done with it now. D:

Shallow as I am, I was thinking about going to the library to rent a book this Friday (no time tomorrow and it´s closed by now today), a really thick one that I can bring with me when I go to Averøya in two weeks with the band because that will totally make me look smart and then Magnus will totally be impressed. ( ) Two weeks should give me some time to get somewhere in it since being halfway through a thick book is more impressive than being at the beginning of one, and before you ask, yes, I sometimes find my own thoughts and plans just as ridiculous as you do.
Anyways the first book I thought of was Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, but I´ve already read that one recently. Then I thought about the Hitchhiker´s Guide to the Galaxy, but then I remembered that it sits on a top shelf and I´m not tall enough to reach it on my own and the librarian is so scary, I´d rather not ask for any help from her. Then I thought about Lord of the Rings but then I remembered that that book is actually extremely boring and that I ended up putting it away halfway through the second book the last time I tried, and I want to read a book that´s exciting when I first sit down with it. Then I thought about the Da Vinci-Code, but then I thought that not having read that one yet is kinda dumb since everyone´s read that one. Then I thought that Magnus prollers doesn´t give a shit about what books I read anyways and if he does then screw him, so I´m probably just going to rent some Terry Pratchett-books, or maybe the new Artemis Fowl-book.
(To defend myself, this string of thoughts came during a three-lessons-in-a-row of maths and honestly, you don´t expect me to focus on that for so long without being distracted, do you? Whoever put together the timetable was a fool to think that was a good idea)

Here I go again. These TL;DRs just come so frequently these days.

[Shawn]

I bet no one here has read "Walk two Moons"

What a great book.

[Serza5]

im not reading anything now, we are starting a poem in english soon, after we do a stupid essay im doing mine on the Rayman series

[Xenon]

I don't think anything can be worse than Shakespeare. I can't understand those plays, especially when they're written as books.

[Serza5]

ive only read "A midsummer nights dream", the teacher made us read it out

[Xenon]

I've read Romeo & Julliet, Othello, Macbeth and parts of Hamlet. I will be reading the book I mentioned above fairly soon as well.

[Serza5]

ill hopefully be getting more manga

[Cairnie]

Oh god Shakesphere. I hated writing the essays for them. Writing one about Romeo and Juliet literally gave me a nervous breakdown. x(

[Xenon]

Well I sucked at it too. I remember my Othello coursework failed badly.
And who here has heard of King Lear? I've certainly never heard of this tosh.

[Serza5]

ive neva heard of him either, i only know Shakespeare

[Xenon]

It was a play written by Shakespeare

[Serza5]

damet xD ive neva seen or read a lot of plays

[Xenon]

If ever you did study his work, you'd be reading books, not watching plays ^_^

[Serza5]

i didnt say i studied his work ^.^

[Xenon]

I know that, but you could well be studying Shakespeare in late secondary school or college.

[Serza5]

O_O i dont like dat D:

[Acarr]

I studied shakesphere in 2nd year It was hard!! But funny, because some people had to act out scenes

[Xenon]

I would hate to act out the scenes. The script is nearly incomprehensible because it's written in old-fassioned English, so I'd fail at remembering lines to start with.
