Books, CAN YOU READ?! Options

[Raijinili]

This thread is for discussion of books. Books you're reading, books you've read, books you're interested in, etc.
--Tom Clancy is lame--


But anyways. I'm currently reading Demons by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It's interesting, but I'm having difficulty getting into it, partially because of school, and partially because the month before I started it, I had just finished the Dark Tower series.

[Raijinili]

Pshaw.


The writer who wrote the novelization of Halo (The Flood) is lame.

(But shouldn't this go in the *Other Forms* forum?)

[Raijinili]

In case you didn't notice, "Other Entertainment" is a subsection of Technology.
Also, the description for this board mentions books.

[Raijinili]

They have AUDIO books you know. Books can be considered technological.


And I frequently read books and stories on my iPod. How bout THAT, son?

[Raijinili]

Anyone who listens to Audio Books fails at life.
There, I said it.

[Raijinili]

Yes they do.

[Raijinili]

Let's see, I don't read much, mainly when they force me to in school. I am being forced to read The Scarlet Letter right now. I hate this book.

[Raijinili]

I love Tamora Pierce. ._. And the Wyrd Trilogy saga by Robin Jarvis.

[Raijinili]

I like the Tamora Pierce books too~! I'm reading one of her series right now.. forgot what it was called. I just called it the ' Alanna Series' (Just starting the last book) . Arn. I'm also reading Eldest by .. something Paolini. I forgot the name.
I am being fored to read 'The Last Voyage of the Scotian' at school though... Really lame about the oceans and stupid boat voyages.

[Raijinili]

Alanna?! You mean the Song of the Lioness Quartet?! That's my first series by her, I was your age when I read it. Its so good!!

[Raijinili]

I read audio books. Straight off the tape. With my finger.

[Raijinili]

Lioness Quartet is one of mah fav series~! XD

I don't really like the series of books after Lioness. Okay, I can accept 'Immortal Realm' and stomach 'Protector of the Small'... but no way I'm gonna buy the 'Trickster' series!

I can't stand reading another sequel series... Alanna's daughter, indeed. It's like reading a fanfic, yet it's not a fanfic ><' Tamora should stop at Lioness Quartet, IMHO.

[Raijinili]

I read a lot of books. Lately I've been interested in reading about psychology. It's interesting stuff.

Harry Potter isn't good anymore ever since they started making the movies...

No, wait, what am i saying, the movies are bad, but the novels are good. But the movies made the story suck a little...somehow...don't know how -_-

[Raijinili]

Harry Potter is one of the few series that I have read all of the books that have come out so far and enjoyed them in the process. When the sixth came out, I got it first day at around noon and didn't sleep until I finished it at 2:30 AM Sunday morning.
