Has anyone here read War and Peace? Not necessarily all of it (I've only finished the first half, the fox hunting scene bored the fucking hell out of me), but a kind of interesting thought came to me about the writing, and I'm wondering if anyone could confirm my thoughts.

Just finished reading a collection of short stories by Steven King. GOD, that man can write about a haunted lamp and still sell a million cpoies>_>
The book was called: The eye of the Dragon I'm waiting for the last installment of the Eragon series to come out as well. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

QUOTE that man can write about a haunted lamp and still sell a million cpoies Stolen from Family Guy.And The Eyes of the Dragon is not a collection of short stories, nor is it horror so your stolen quote is unwarranted. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

First of all, I never took credit for making up that quote. Yes, your right. Family Guy did say that....maybe thats why I said it.
Crap. Your right>_> I was thinking of a different book. I had also recently read The eyes of the Dragon. It was called " Night Shift", or something like that. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

Started Justine (Lawrence Durrell). I'm... I'm not very far into it XD;. It's very well written, and I'm enjoying it so far.

I just finished Against the Tide by John Ringo. Never heard of the guy before, but the book wasn't half bad--though there were a few plot holes, I sort of got how the universe there worked along the way, which is more or less how sci-fi work usually goes. It's a quick read, five hundred forty-seven pages--I killed about two hours with it. Apparently it's part of a series, but it seems I've started from the middle.

Anyone read Fear Nothing by Koontz? I thought it was pretty good. Im reading Everything's Eventual
by Stephen King and the Hitchiker's Trilogy right now. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

I'm currently reading A Clash of Kings (George R.R. Martin) and a random legend book for a school asignment.
A Song of ice and Fire is the BEST SERIES EVER! Read it if you ever have the chance... I also have tons of books in my shelf that I hope to finish... one day *glares at The Hobbit* ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

I skimmed through the Hobbit and read some parts of Return of the King, I like watching the movies better :/
Rereading the 1400 page monstrosity Les Miserables, but skipping the history and unnecessary fillers, which makes it less of a monstrosity. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

Les Miserables... *dies, revives, dies again* DOn't want to see that even again.
And, skipping can't be considered reading. Stupid Hobbit... Rereading Wyrm (random sci-fiction, fantasy and who knows what else novel by Mark Fabi) and The Thief Lord (another random fantasy novel by Cornelia Funke)... I really want to watch that movie... Is a biology book considered in this? Because if it is... ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

QUOTE(Antartique @ Jun 15 2007, 03:32 PM)  Is a biology book considered in this? Because if it is... If it is I want to add my AP Psychology textbook, which by the way tries a little too hard to be "reader friendly." I literally have to dig through it with a pickaxe to get anything useful out of it. Even though it gives me nightmares I also reread "The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray." It's not a bad book, just that apparently my imagination is a little more overactive than I thought it was. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.

Strange, I took Psychology last year, and the book wasn't that bad, what's the name of it? The class and test itself was a breeze compared to the other APs.

I should be reading Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank, but I've yet to start it. I'm going to have to start it sometime soon, though. Stupid summer reading lists >_>

Mais oui. I'm supposed to be reading "How to Read Literature Like a Professor" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", but...
I'd rather reread "Scar Night" (Alan Campbell, READ IT BITCHES), so I am. *nod* And I still say Carnival = Malice + Nessiah + steroids. ~~~ Писатель всегда будет в оппозиции к политике, пока сама политика будет в оппозиции к культуре.
