Weapon X Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Now that summer is over, it’s likely you won’t be reading as much as a couple of months ago. So, who’s reading something other than a three week old issue of The Economist on the subway? I’m currently involved with Steinbeck’s first novel, “Cup Of Gold”. I just started it, but it’s pretty good, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suburbian bum Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Just finished Farewell To Arms by Hemmingway last night. That was a sad book. Now I am reading Norweigan Wood. I like to read. I stopped reading for years, but now I have started again here are some good books I have read lately. Green Green Hills of Africa - Hemmingway. On the road - Kerouac Dharma Bums - Kerouac Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy - Adams The stranger - Camus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weapon X Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 A Farewell to Arms was alright. I read that in jail. It was either that, or some bullshit army book written for twelve year olds. Now that I think of it, that was a really good find, considering it was youth jail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanity Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 the stranger is a good book, but you have to be somewhat educated on the history of philosophy to get it. nausea by sarte- great if you live alone... once again, you need some prior knowledge to truly appreciate it romeo and juliet- i hate melodrama, so this sucks. winning chess logical chess move by move both by irving chernov great if you like chess.

I read this in less than a week even with a full time job. It was too hard to put down. If you want to read more Richard Matheson.. I'd suggest 'I Am Legend' for your next read. It's fucking awesome.

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I always love how everyone here reads fairly smart stuff. Fuck that, I'm back on cheap PAPERBACK ACTION NOVEL mode. Just finished "Area 7" by Matthew Riley, which is probably the most insanely fast paced action novel I've ever read, and just started "Ice Station" by the same author, which I hear is even more insane. Before that was "Prey", by Michael Crichton, which is fucking awesome and I would shit myself if they didn't make a movie for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I'm eagerly awaiting the movie release of Timeline because the book was pretty enjoyable. oh... and Master And Commander (From the Patrick O'Brien series) is going to just kill it!

Guest imported_El Mamerro Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Originally posted by Kilo7- I'm eagerly awaiting the movie release of Timeline because the book was pretty enjoyable. That is word. I didn't find the book to be very cinema-ready in the way Jurassic Park was, but it kicked serious ass, especially how he managed to make time travel believable. He's a genius at doing that kind of stuff. What worries me is that something like Sphere could happen... an awesome book whose move was true to it, had awesome actors and awesome performances, and still sucked, simply because it's not a very cinema-type book. At least Timeline has dope medieval battles, but it's nothing new to what's been done before. I'm also worried that it stars Paul Walker. "Prey", however, has that "Jurassic Park" feel. Killer nanobot swarms and lots of nerditude. "Master and Commander" looks like it's gonna be hot as balls... and also looks like it cost a buttload to make. I'm also psyched for "Sahara"... my fave paperback author, Clive Cussler, has finally signed for movies, and "Sahara" is probably my fave book in his Dirk Pitt series.

deph Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 A book called TOY SOLDIERS about an east london crack head which is ok but it's a bit predictable. I reasently read to kill a mocking bird which I was loving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamblersGrin Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I am reading "Killing Pablo" by Mark Bowden. It's the same guy who wrote the book "Black Hawk Down." This dude is obsessed with Escobar and has written other books and tons of articles for a Philadelphia newspaper about him. It's written with a good perspective, why he was good/ why he was bad.
