At any rate, I haven't read it, to be honest. Might give it a try, who knows.

The most recent book I've read is 'Twilight', by Stephenie Meyer. I plan on reading New Moon, and Eclipse soon. They are probally the ONLY romance novels I ever intend on reading. 8D

p.s. Very good bookby the way if you havent read it then you should read it asap

I read it in English Literature, and could see some similarities between myself and Holden, to a point. The character 'speaks for disaffected youth' as I once heard it.

Of course, the problem with studying a book as a set text is that, I find, it is over-analysed and I can't enjoy it anymore

. Or maybe thats just me...

This is Catcher in the Rye. Yeah, we did it in English too. The book is great and one can relate to Holden Caulfield on multiple levels. The guy's deep and not the shallow person people think he is. Its a shame we did it for English though, we just went over and over it again. But the books great. Oh yeah, currently I am reading Hinterland

Great book, catcher in the rye. Catches all the subtle and ambiguous feelings and ideas you get as a teenager. Haha, it was written in a time where angst hadn't been bastardised as a metonym for emo subculture.

But its definitely worth a read.

PS has anyone here read Kafka on the Shore? If so, is it worth reading?

Hubble - 15 years of discovery
Is about NASA space exploration

Potatochobit · 2007-11-03, 20:31

I just came across one of the craziest books.

next time your at borders, go to the art/fashion section and find a book called "Fruits"

its about japanese eccentric clothing

http://www.amazon.com/Fresh-Fruits-S...4139385&sr=1-2

It's kind of like cosplay, but it's not

physics223 · 2007-11-04, 09:22

I read Nancy Drew. After reading tons of classics, it's a welcome sight.

Ymor · 2007-11-04, 09:57

I read the excellent "Memories of My Melancholy Whores" by Gabriel García Márquez, and now I'm reading the amazing "King Lear" by Shakespeare.

~~User65554~~ · 2007-11-04, 15:56

Just finished Joseph Heller's 'Closing Time' (out of interest, anyone else read this?), and I'm about to read Alistair MacLean's 'Guns of the Navarone'

aka Providence · 2008-01-06, 10:52

re-read Fiesta by Ernest Hemingway, found and bought at a second-hand bookstore. then i read Terry Pratchett's The Last Hero, where the drawings were great, then Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors. all three read in the span of (about) one-and-one-half days.

Defron · 2008-01-06, 11:51

Reading State of fear and re-reading Airframe. (Michael Crichton is the best IMO)

AnimeFangirl · 2008-01-06, 13:05

I read an absolutely terrible book called The Tarnsman of Gor recently. I almost got through it then I threw it to one side and quit.

Marina · 2008-01-06, 18:06

Just finished Orson Scott Card's The Ships of Earth (3rd in the 'Homecoming' Series) and ready to start the 4th one!

Spectacular_Insanity · 2008-01-07, 00:04

I just read "Lord of the Isles" by David Drake, forst book in the series. Not the best series I've ever read, but still worth reading, if only to see the developments of Garric and Liane's relationship. I am now reading the second book in the series, "Queen of Demons".

JustInn14 · 2008-01-07, 16:22

A funny called "Brain Droppings", by George Carlin. It's hilarious! XD

Sakura_Kinomoto · 2008-01-07, 16:27

Just finished the Machine Crusade and the Butlerian Jihad, both books of Epic proportions *poor Serena butler

RandomGuy · 2008-01-07, 17:52

I just finished up the first Haruhi Suzumiya novel in Japanese. While I was able to follow the plot with little-to-no trouble, I know I didn't absorb every single nuance. Still, the constant sarcastic commentary on the part of the narrator is fantastic. Now if I could just learn to read Japanese as fast as the characters talk in the TV adaptation...

The Thief's Gamble by Juliet McKenna

xlolita_chanx · 2008-01-12, 19:20

Just finished Oedipus Rex (for English)...and right now I'm working on We Were the Mulvaney's by Joyce Carol Oates.
