Books

i prolly wouldnt read much unless i had to for school... which i do

we gotta choose from about any book in our library, read it, take a test on the computer, and depending on length/level of difficulty, get points... and must get a certain amount of points per semester

just started reading THE EXECUTIONER'S SONG, by Norman Mailer

amazing book, anyone else read it?

may sound nerdy, but i think some people here might sooo

current books your reading or recommendations? (since i gotta read books of my choice and all)

Only ever read two books,,,because of school,,,,Of mice and mine which was bloody amazing and z for zachariah,,which is about a nuke going off and a wee lassy is left herself in the wee vally she lived in,,,untill a random old geezer appears,,,both were good reads

hah i read quite alot of books, if you ever see, a curiouse insident of the dog in the night-time, you should pick it up, its a good read, funny and truthfull, i also read alot of terry pratchett...so far havent been dissapointed

charles bukowski is one and only!

well im reading kite runner lol its actually pretty good

The last book I read was Mario Puzos Godfather.

I only read for school (and just some the books 'cause some of them look really boring and non-enriching to me) 'cause I'm too lazy to read normally.
My favourite book is by far Alice in Wonderland and I also liked Harry Potter when I used to read it and I plan to read more of it all the way back from The Prisoner of Azkaban

Two books u must read:

Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson

Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk

Yeah I want to read the Fight Club book all the time, 'cause the movie is one of my favourites!
But I'm just too lazy...

i read it its really good...i recomend u read it!!!

I wanted to start a books topic but I had a feeling that there already was one, so I searched and hey!
There it is!

'Cause this holiday I started reading a lot and I'm very happy I finally did!
I read 1984 by George Orwell, awsome book. Very actual.
Then Heart of a Dog by Michail Bulgakov (written as Mikhail in english). Pretty good too, was fun to read but not that enriching.
And then The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. It was also interesting and entertaining to read but I was very dissapointed with the ending.

Now I am waiting for Fight Club the book to arrive.
Finally!

Fight club is cool - a bit different than the movie (better I think)

Anything else by Chuck Palahniuk is really good.

Also check out Irvine Welsh if you like Trainspotting (He wrote it and has a few other books).

Books are great. Read them all of the time while chilling with some tunes.

Read these titles.

Freakonomics
1984
The Great Gatsby
Scary Stories 1, 2 & 3! Great books!

Fight Club is one of the most awesome movies I have ever seen. Never read the book before. Tell me how it is after your done reading it.

Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak series is fucking amazing...theres 13 books too it...i read about a book in 4 hours...i think theres like 200some pages in each?

also James Patterson is good... along with John Saul

Try Stephen Kings books.

It's my favourite one!
I sure will.

By the way have any of you seen the movie, Sling Blade? It is an awesome movie check it out. It kind of has the same theme that Fight Club has going on in a way. It won an award for Best Script.

Starring:
Billy Bob Thorton
John Ritter

Yeah I've seen it. But I think I was also working on something else when watching it. So I don't really remember it...

Good movie. Maybe watch it again? It has so much dialog to it so you have to pay a lot of attention to it.

I hated The Great Gatsby! Maybe it was because I had to do it at school and got very sick of picking it apart...

If you like biographies and Jimi Hendrix, get 'Room Full Of Mirrors' by Charles R Cross - very good read.

I finished reading the Fight Club some time ago, but forgot to post.
As all of the books comaped to movies you get to know more details and better understand everything.
But this time the movie is so well done, it hasn't lost too much of the details and parts that are cut out really weren't that important to me.
And the movie is visualy totally badass and the actors are just the way they should be plus I liked the movie ending much more. Even Palnhiouk himself said that he liked it more.

So in the end the movie suprisingly wins.

Have you read Animal Farm by Orwell?
