Hugemanskost Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I cant read fiction, has to be a book that teaches me something for sure so im totally with you on this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I am now re-reading A Song of Ice and Fire (currently on A Clash of Kings) after about a decade and subsequent frustration at waiting for the final installment. After watching the first two seasons on HBO, I decided that I had forgotten too much and purchased the box set of the first four books. ADWD should be out on paperback by the time I finish AFFC...

Phil_314 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 just finished "The Hunger Games" novel (the first in the trilogy), heard the movie's not as good as the book looking forward to starting "Catching Fire"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g_bassi13 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Just finished reading this... ... because of this post. Was a bit disappointed, expectations were a little to high, but I lol'd a couple times. I'm going to start making get well cards with 9 red cars on the front and inside it'll say "Super Super Good Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodzillaDeuce Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Partial apologies then, lol. Hope you enjoyed the book overall. It was one of my favourite books, but I haven't read it since high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLASSJAW Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 didn't enjoy that curious incident book at all. i'm still struggling through ASOIAF's first book. Really not a fantasy type of guy, but I am enjoying it. 450 pages in! also reading "if i forget thee, jerusalem" (or "wild palms") by faulkner, as i'm a sucker for fiction from the american south. enjoying both!

Spectacular Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Reading a Storm of Swords by George R.R Martin. That son of a bit** just ripped my heart out... Utterly... The Red Wedding has to be one of the most gut wrenching sequences ever (that and the Grey King betrayal in Lies of Locke Lamora). Can someone please share my anguish? I feel so alone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dream Theater Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Still Life with Crows by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I would strongly recommend all of their joint work novels to any reader. Pendergast is a truly amazing character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hume Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 i just read all the stuff by the beats. burroughs, kerouac, ginsberg, cassady. and everything by hunter s thompson. i really dug it all, where should i go from here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Just finished reading 'A Long Way Gone'. Really liked it and I would recommend anyone looking to read a book to check this out. Its a novel written by Ishmael Beah, the protagonist in the story, and he describes in some pretty good details what happened in his childhood and teenage years as a child soldier living in Africa, specifically Sierra Leone.

ThaBestPlaceOnEarth Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie...what a weird book! The first half is super intensely literary and kind of boring, all about some family's back story, then suddenly it turns into a superhero story? Incredibly well written though, I can see why it won all those awards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinDrive Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've been very hesitant to start reading the Game of Thrones books, just because I'm afraid I won't be able to put them down and get ahead of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
