Smart Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Well, I finally broke my fast on Monday. I guess I didn't reach my goal of non-reading but I read 5 Erle Stanley Gardner novels Monday and Tuesday. I love those shits, written in the late 30's so women show 'seductive amounts of ankle' and 'improper displays of thigh'. Didn't read anything today... well, I did read Harrison Bergeron and a chapter of Mark Twain, but I don't count that stuff. I think I'm gonna go to the library tommorrw and try to find more ESG and I'm pretty sure they have a complete collection of Ray Bradbury short stories so I'll get that too if I can find it.

GnomeToys Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I was horridly sick for almost a month thanks to getting swine flu, strep, and some random bronchitis at the same time as a broken rib... so tons of reading. Lost Boys, Ender's Game and all the sequels by Orson Scott Card Several of the discworld novels by Terry Pratchett, until the point where he starts really heavily reusing jokes. Various novels and short stories by Robert Heinlein The Deus Machine The trilogy of the first icewind dale novels, found at a used book store, which I would describe as a bad ripoff of Lord of the Rings without the good writing, plot, characters, or point.

iloveboxcars Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Gabe1 your book selection is on point!! No Country for Old Men Novel 2005 Cormac McCarthy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Country_for_Old_Men I watched the movie before I realized there was a book. I am a new fan of the movie (watched it last night), but from the synopsis of the novel, this sounds like I missed out on a really good thing. Trying to locate it online so I can read it on phone. I am very excited. im going to go ahead and say cormac mccarthy is my favorite writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the prince for humanities class...its a good read. i didnt really care for frankenstein either. yea man maus is a graphic novel, when i saw that shit on the syllabus i was very down with it. and FUCK frankenstein, all those romanticist era books are too slow and wordy. i could condense that book, and still keep a lot of the descriptions down to less than 150 pages, instead bitch ass shelley had to make it 270+. what a cunt.

{OneSevenNine.com} Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Cold Mountain This book was extremly sad to me. I loved it. I hated the ending only because of the way it made me feel. But it was breath-takingly beautiful in its descriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrPiddlesworth Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I am currently reading Shadow Puppets by Orson Scott Card (another part of the enders game series) I wanna read clockwork orange cause I saw the movie the other day and I think the book will be better. On a completely unrelated note does anyone know of any really good steakpunk books. I have no clue why I want to read one but I guess I saw something and I have this overwhelming need to read a steampunk novel or watch a steampunk movie. I don't even know how I knew about it or know about it now. My memory has been slowly dying on me for the last month. Bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpuddles Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 It's actually a really difficult book in a funny wrapper.There's a whole bunch to absorb. Sirens of Titan is a good one too. hope its okay for me to jump in here but i just got back into reading while on maternity leave but i don't have any friends who read and my husband is really tired of my talking about what i'm reading...... just finished "dead eye dick" and "jailbird". DED was really good, jailbird kinda drug out for me. but he's stuck as my favorite writer so i will read anything the man writes. i remember timequake being really good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
