It's about these rabbits- there's lots of blood and guts and crud...and a weird language you have to learn to understand what the heck they're saying

You must have heard of
1984, another book by Orwell. One of the best novels ever

Yes, I've read some of it too. Just not Animal Park.

Actually I read the "Robot's Bible" (:lol:) by Asimov : Isaac Asimov - Le Grand Livre des Robots, Chap. I : Prélude à Trantor (The Big Book of Robots, Part I: Prelude to Trantor but there isn't an English one for this book).

I started reading a book by that Asimov guy. After a chapter or two I decided it was too boring to bother finishing.

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.

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 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
