I have read Kafka by the Shore and the Wind Up Bird Chroniclesby him. He's very surreal and unqiue writing

Let me know what you think.. I thought the film was pish too, in fact I slept most of the way through it in the cinema but I was considering giving the books a go.

I've got the first LOTR book sitting in the cupboard, not tried reading it yet. It's very intimidating.

I almost picked this up in Asda, but changed my mind. Is it any good?

Roy Mars III 08-11-2012 03:02 PM

The books are great, though slow paced by today's standards and its in 3rd person omnipresent which is annoying, in my opinion. Still amazing though, the world is so vivid and laid out brillaintly.

Niamh. 08-11-2012 03:27 PM

I loved the LOTRs films :love:

Lee. 08-11-2012 03:38 PM

Yeah but Niamh, your film taste is a bit :crazy: ; you didn't like Titanic :bored:

Niamh. 08-11-2012 03:42 PM

Oh Dearie me Lee :idc:

Roy Mars III 08-11-2012 03:44 PM

probably because the Titanic was terrible

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for AS English, and it looks boring

That's a really exciting book, it's about a half shark boy called Finn who is addicted to huckleberries and he goes on adventures through time :amazed:

I'm reading Delirium by Lauren Oliver and I'm really enjoying it so far. The book is set in a dystopian US where love is regarded as the deadliest illness known to man, and so at the age of 18, everyone undergoes a procedure to be 'cured' of amor deliria nervosa (the clinical name for love in the book).

I'm not that far into it at the moment but like I said, I'm really enjoying it thus far.

GypsyGoth 08-11-2012 10:46 PM

And the latest book I'm reading is Ash by Malinda Lo

It's based on the Cinderella story, and it's very enjoyable :love:

Bitch swerve.

Me. I Am Salman 29-11-2012 07:50 PM

Huckleberry is so crap it's unreal. I haven't read a chapter since last week.. I'm just not motivated to read it at all so I'm falling behind :bored:

Roy Mars III 29-11-2012 07:55 PM

don't be silly :nono:

MTVN 08-12-2012 03:33 AM

Anna Karenina. I take back what I said before about Russian fiction, this is a beautiful novel

InOne 08-01-2013 12:10 AM

Finished The Count Of Monte Cristo yesterday. Not really currently reading but still fresh in my mind

Niall 08-01-2013 12:20 AM

I finished Delirium earlier. I really enjoyed it. The book lulled a bit in parts but for the most part it was a good read. :love:

I've moved onto the sequel (Pandemonium) now. :D

Raph 08-01-2013 12:21 AM

Currently not reading anything but my goal of 2013 is to start reading more

Can you tell us more please

I've been reading a lot lately. These are all the books I've read since Christmas.

Game of Thrones - Really good.
The True Blood books (ALL ELEVEN OF THEM)- Don't judge me s0b. Easy to read and fun, I pretty much breezed through each one in one sitting.
Warm Bodies - I loved this book so much, I'd highly recommend it. It's just such an interesting plot and the execution of it is superb.
Son of the Witch - It's good so far although it's not really grabbed me as much as Wicked did.

Joelle. 08-01-2013 12:43 AM

One Shot by Lee Child. Film version has just came out with Tom Cruise (Jack Reacher) so thought I'd read it beforehand. Its very good so far. :)

After that I'll probably start the Game of Thrones books.

I'm reading Across The Face Of The World, and it's ok, I was expecting it to be really interesting, but it's just so-so. I'm almost finished, but I don't really care enough for the story to read the next part.
