I figured I should make a new one of these threads. The other one was over twenty pages; I should've closed it when I had the chance. pinch.gif Anywho, the purpose of this thread is to discuss books you're currently reading, have recently read, or are intending to read. _smile.gif

Still.. Artemis Fowl. XD.gif I'm almost done, though!

I'm reading The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl. It's kinda boring in the beginning, but it really picks up after a while.

Shizuko's Daughter by Kyoko Mori. I found it randomly in the library, and it's really good. It's like one of those books you just can't put down.

Days of Magic, Nights of war


And I decided to go get the Uglies and read it, in which I made a topic about this book if you want to read what its about. The cashier at the coffee part of the book store said it was a good book and she liked it a lot..

Indeed.

I have a sign on my wall. I look at it every time I get stuck on some complicated math problem or proof. It says, "Would Richard Feynman have given up in frustration?"

It's right next to the sign that says, "You can always sleep on Saturday!"

Richard Feynman is a sort of personal hero, right up there with Sir Isaac Newton.

gENERALLY (eek, cap locks) agreed, but Catch-22 is pretty funny. I'm attempting (yet again) to read it volunteerily. However, I have to read All Quiet On the Western Front for class, which is the sort of war lit I really can't stand. Doesn't help that we're reading it on top of Macbeth (which is only tolerable because Weeks is funny as hell).

Macbeth</3

In retrospect, I kind of liked All Quiet on the Western Front, spoilers on both counts here, highlight if you want: other than the fact that Katczinsky dying really upset me, and (almost) everybody dies; but yeah, it wasn't that bad.

I started it last fall, got about 50 pages in, found it amusing but then never had time to read it. I'm now on page 2, because I've found more productive ways to pass my DEAR time in place of reading like I'm supposed to (and of course, by productive, I mean blatantly breaking rules and doing practically nothing).

I am a terrible person, I always start books and never finish them. Why? I dont know.
And they are all so good, but I just end up looking in barnes&noble and starting a new book.
It pretty much sucks.
I really need to finish these books.

Anyways, I got my book that I pre-ordered at purple door in the mail.
"Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die" By David crowder and Mike hogan.
I got it last thursday, then while I was in barnes&noble I found a book that was very interesting. I cant remember the name, but I know the exact spot it is in.
Heh.

Sooo, lets add those two to my list.
- Dawn treader (Chronicles of Narnia)
- Praise Habit
- Captivating
- Body piercings saved my life
- All the hits so far
- Everybody wants to go to Heaven, but nobody wants to die
- The unknown title (about the black dahlia, but it isnt the movie book)

I am such a terrible person. ermm.gif

The Awakening by Kate Chopin.

Hmmm...have yet to make an opinion.
The ending SUCKS; ruined the book for me. :(

I'm currently reading Free Software, Free Society: Selected Essays of Richard Stallman. It covers Stallman's essays regarding free software and its place in a free, open society. I don't agree with everything Stallman says, but he has a lot of good things to say about free software. I'm sort of reading through it in an attempt to help with an idea I have regarding software development by non-profit organizations.

The Know-It-All: One Man's Humble Quest to Become the Smartest Person in the World, a memoir/autobiography by A.J. Jacobs. It's about his journey through reading all the volumes of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Hilarious.

Also reading A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews, and the latest Gossip Girl novel.

Kind of an eclectic selection of books, I know.

Ehh, it was an O.K. ending, but I was kind of happy when she did what she did. It didn't feel heroic to me, just desperate.

^ Yuck. Same. :(

But, whenever I have some spare time, I'm reading Persuasion by Jane Austen. I absolutely love her books.

I just finished Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk. Disturbing....but wonderful. In fact that pretty much sums up all of his books. I'll now probably move on to either Choke, Lullaby, or re-read Invisible Monsters. All by Chuck. I'm on a Chuck spree.
