Books What are you reading now?

Hmm... last book I read was The Last Unicorn - just for the hell of it, since I'm betting quite a few of us remember that old Bakshi animated movie that was based off it. I have a habit of reading the original stories that children's movies are made from, ever since I read Bambi and found out how much gore and death they left out of the Disney film. XD

 

The Thief Lord. 13 AR points. Ha! Now I have the most in the school!(295.1) I'm gonna beat that one guy to 300. He has only 246.5 (because I annoyed him so much this morning while he was taking a test and he didn't get 52 points and i have the most in the school and i'm winning and he's really mad and is trying not to toss m out the window)

 

John Steinbeck - The Pearl.

Amazing book, really touching and very nicely written.

Also read Neil Gaiman - Stardust. Must be the fifth time I have finished it, and not to mention Koushoun Takami - Battle Royale

- Teddz

 

The last book I finished was "Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Genesis Wave--Book Two. by John Vornholt

I read a book called Shanny On Her Own by Lael Littke. It was ok.

 

Was a Hell of a long time ago, heh. That I finished a book. I believe it was The Dragon Reborn, third book of the Wheel Of Time series by Robert Jordan. Right now I'm working on Thief Of Lives by Barb and JC Hendee, the sequel to Dhampir. After that I plan on reading The Cotortionists'(sp) Handbook before my brother castrates me.

 

I read The Wolves of the Calla the fifth book in the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King, it was okay I guess but it wasn't as good as the rest of the series.

 

Aaalllllllllmossssstttt finished Zen And The Art, will be moving on to Brave New World.

 

I just finished rereading Green Grass Running Water which is one of my favorite books. Before that I had read The Life of Pi which was great.

 

2 for 1 last night:
A History of Medieval Business in Medieval Europe 1200-1550 - Edwin S. Hunt & James M. Murray
The German Hansa - Philippe Dollinger

 

The last book I finished was Misery by Stephen King. I'm not sure if I like it as much as the movie, but it was good. I'm in the middle of reading the Thief of Lives by the Hendees, The DaVinci Code, and The Survivor in Us All, which I'm reading for my Women in European History class.

 

I'm currently reading The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, and 20,000 Leagues under the Sea by Jules Verne. The first is for class, and the other two are for the sake of reading. I like Interview a lot more than Leagues, but that's because Leagues gets tedious for me because a scientist is the narrator. ^^;; I like it, though! Dorian Gray is just... well, great in the sense of wonderful prose, but generally weird otherwise. XD

 

non-manga- Halo: The Fall of Reach.
manga: Aa! Megami-Sama-Sympathy for the Devil :anime:

 

I recently started reading One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. I've only just started but i find it interesting looking at the world through the man in a pychyatric institution. Everyone thinks that hes deaf and mute so the staff have arguments in front of him thinking that he can't hear. But the fact is that he can and he just sits back and watchs. I've only started but i still think that it's funny.

 

Night Watch by Terry Pratchett - twas really funny but was also deep, as it had some fairly dark parts.

 

non-manga: i just finished rereading Go Rin No Sho. a book on Japanese Swordplay. written by Musashi Miyamoto. it encompasses his entire school of Niten Ichi Ryuu.

Manga: reread the whole Rurouni Kenshin manga series.

 

Non-manga: Harry Potter, I had to read it for school XD

Manga: Azu-manga Daioh volume 3

 

I finished two this weekend:
1/ Operation Underdog: Hitler's Naval War
2/ Sink the Bismarck

Good war stories.

 

books eh?

yea, currently reading Matthew Reilly books! he rocks!
probably up there competing with Crichton and the rest!

i am currently reading his "Temple", and have just finished his "Contest", though Ice Station was mad!

i am also reading "The House of Tribes" (really cute, and relates about the social life of mice and their enemies, though fictious, and similar to "Redwall").

that is it for now, and next comes some Anne Rice books (she wrote "Interview with the Vampire")...

that's it...


eh?
