The 'What're you currently reading?' Thread
 

There's probably been one but...well who cares.

'War and Peace' by Leo Tolstoy. This is going to take weeks :(

Booky wook 1, surprising good sofar :)

'Dying Light' by Stuart McBride.

If you like crime/detective/thriller novels then I'd really recommend him as an author.

nothing right now but I've just finished Fever of the Bone by Val McDermit

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince. Seen as the films out soon thought i'd read the last 2 books. Forgot how good The Half Blood Prince is :love:

That's my favourite book of the series!

I'm going to reread the Dealthy Hallows once I've finished this book, in time for the film :)

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer :D

The Ladybird book of Big Trains :thumbs:

For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemmingway, reading it for my English coursework.

Yep, I love how dark it is. And I kinda prefer where the death eaters are talking and stuff. We know all about Harry and the rest, so it's interesting to see their characters develop and learn about their pasts.

I started to read the Deathly Hallows but when my Dad was cleaning he moved my copy and my bookmark fell out. I was so annoyed. I cba to go back and find where I got too....tbh I think I've forgotten O.o

Harry Potter and the deathly hollows when I have chance. I have read past when Ron pissed off and it is now just Harry and Hermionie searching for the horcruxes!!! :hugesmile:

Bless you. I just checked. My bookmark is on chapter 17. I hope to read it all in time before the film comes out. I need to be in the zone to read though..

Yeah I know. I wouldn't be able to finish Twilight then read the rest of Deathly Hallows (I think I was 8 chapters in? :conf2:) and revise for my mocks all in time for the film in November lmao.

Well you've got time to go back and read it all again from the beginning before the film comes out :hugesmile:

*Points to previous post* :hugesmile: lol!

That and the Prisoner of Azkaban are my favourites for that reason, they start getting progressively darker and you learn more about Voldemort's past etc, fleshes out the whole story away from just being about Harry and his pals at Hogwarts.

this thread :p

Harharhar ( ;) )

Oh **** sorry! :hugesmile: It is quite a beast of a book, maybe watch the first film (it looks like they aren't going to miss much out from the book this time) then read the book up to the point where the first film ends, then watch the second part, and then go back and finish the book :laugh: That way you don't spoil anything, or am I just getting too complicated? :joker:

I'm exactly the same, The Prisoner of Azkaban is probably my fave out the series. You have good HP taste Michelle :love: I'm always suprised when I re-read the books how little I remember of them

Lool thats cool, I'm doing stuff like that all the time too :/

And no that isn't complicated, I think I'm gonna do that you know! Cheers for the idea lol! :spin:

Really :shocked: That was my least favourite lol. The Goblet of Fire was probably my favourite although I really enjoyed Chamber of Secrets. For some reason I cant really remember how much I liked the more recent ones lol.

For me it was a lot to do with Sirius, I loved his character (and having Gary Oldman play the part in the film just made him come to life perfectly), I loved the way the film seemed to get all of a sudden darker as well to match the impending sense of doom and the final battle that was sure to come between Harry and Voldemort. The first two books were great at setting the scene and getting to know the 'goodies' lol but the baddies are a lot more interesting I think!

Love The Goblet Of Fire as well. Really loved the twist as well. Well few twists that ended up happening

Haha you're welcome :)


This thread has been well and truly raped by HP talk :laugh:

Yeah, loved Sirius. And I'm glad he did end up being good really. Don't like The Order Of The Pheonix that much but it was good to find out more about Sirius and his beginnings. And yeah, Oldman got him spot on.Tthe baddies always have bit more interest for me too as well :D

The Order of the Pheonix got a bit longwinded in the middle for me and I didn't like the film very much at all, missed too many important bits out of the book. That's the problem I guess with them making the films mainly for kids, they have to cut them down to a reasonable length for them to sit through lol. That's why I'm SO glad they've split the last book into two films, plus it means we've got another 6 months after November before it's all over for good :bawling:

Choo choo!

:D

Lol definitely. I just wish there was someone else here to talk Twilight. :(

Oh well... (And starting a new thread is effort lmao)

I've read all the Twilight books! Much prefer them to the films.

Yep, think she intended for the audience to grow with the books, as to why there was some major gaps inbetween some, so when reading, they could appriciate the darker turn they had taken. I'm sort of sensing this with the films, at least they weren't PG, I don't think, the last few. Hopefully this last two part one will live up to the book.

bitch i was gonna post that :bawling:

Swap yer for a Famous Five Volume Zipster - OK? I'll include lashings of Ginger Beer

Was about to say the same :laugh:

A wee bit pretentious I thought but already deleted a post by me..........I thouroughly recommend the Ladybird book of Big Trains

Just finished reading this; Dark Moon by David Gemmell, it was so-so, I wouldn't recomend it. Some good ideas and characters but it felt rushed.

At the moment I'm reading Zero Hour by SD Perry, I've been trying to get more into horror stories over the last year. Anyway this is set in the Resident Evil world, and it's good so far.

And I'm reading this at bedtime, Runemarks by Joanne Harris. I love the first line; Seven o'clock on a Monday morning, five hundred years after the end of the world, and goblins had been at the cellar again. . .

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, already re-read the first three.

Meeeeee!! I'll talk Twilight! :love:

I'm reading "Meridon" by Phillipa Gregory which is the final book in the "Wideacre" trilogy.. Not my usual type of book, I prefer crime/thriller or historical fiction, but have quite enjoyed them. SHe wrote "The Other Boleyn Girl" which I loved but these aren't quite as good :(
