That doesn't count

Anyway, I finished Eldest, the sequel to Eragon, in the last two days. I wasn't able to put it down. And after all that time I put off reading Eragon And, I'm about to start reading Running with the Demon by Terry Brooks.

Mangawise, I read vols. 5 and 6 of Bleach.

I'm two-thirds the way into Smashed by Koren Zailckas. It is amazing. It reminds me of Girl, Interrupted, or the other Susanna Kaysen book, The Camera My Mother Gave Me. It is so truthful and poignant. Read it, really. If you have no qualms to hearing about someone ruining their life, read it.

Currently listening to "A Dirty Job" by Christopher Moore. Great book, rather funny read

Most people 35 and older think that no one under the age of 30 today reads anything. Are you going to give in to that stereotype?

Next time I visit my hometown to see my family, I've got to show my parents and grandparents this thread. It'll make them feel much better about the generation that's about to take their turn at the wheel of society!

As for me... I'm working on a few books right now:

"How To Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci" by Michael J. Gelb

"Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies" by Jared M. Diamond

"Strapped : Why America's 20- and 30-Somethings Can't Get Ahead" by Tamara Draut

I'm also working on a couple of websites:

http://www.theshadowlands.net/

http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/

Do I believe in ghosts, etc.? I don't know, I'd have to see it to believe it. But it's fun to read about!

P.S. -- Yeah, I think that websites count too. The Internet is like one huge open book (with lots of attached pictures, music and video clips) just sitting there, waiting to be read!

Done with The Vampire Lestat, now reading Watership Down, shockingly for the first time (I'd always wanted to read it as a kid, but never got around to it).

 

[Gatomon41]

Now reading C.S. Lewis' "That Hiddous Strength".

I'm reading very a old SF book called menace of the Saucers. Not bad so far, corny but it was published in the sixties.

 

[Dr. OneWay]

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It's one of the three books we have to read for Honors English 9 in the summer . . . at first I was reluctant to read it, but its really good

Lucky. All I got to read in English was non-sf novels.

Gald you're enjoying Ender's Game.

Ugg, I'm not that lucky. The other two books are Jane Eyre and The Count of Monte Cristo. But, at least Ender's Game helps hold off the torture

I just started The Drawing of the Three, which is part II of Stephen King's Dark Tower series. After this thread dropped off of the first page I forgot to come back and update, so here are the other books I've read since my last posting:

The Gunslinger (part I of Dark Tower)
Roadwork
Everything's Eventual (collection of short stories)

I'm going to have to change authors soon....I'm running out of unread King material.

I've started back up on reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts.
I took a break from reading it for a bit cuz I was lazy and was getting reader's block (I didn't feel like reading.) But I started it back up last night and got back into the book.

It's about a man who escaped from an Australian prison (where he was sentenced for armed robberies he commited while high on heroin) and he flees to Bombay and slowly falls in love with his new home. Haha...I know that sounds kinda corny but if you want a better synopsis then look it up on Amazon. I love this book...it's just such an amazing, amazing book. I dunno, I just can't put into words how much I love the book....it's just really good.

Unfortunatley i'm not reading anything at the moment... i ran out of books to read , but i am trying to get my hands on most of the Batman novels (me being a humungous Batman fan) and lemony snickets books (i dont care what anyone thinks, i'm in love with those books) i recently finished Life of Pi and i really did enjoy it, very good book in my opinion. i've finished half of Edgar Allen Poe's works, and done with Dracua. i like those classic novels, very interestin stuff really. anyone with any ideas on what i could read next? (no romance or sci-fi novels please, action/adventure would be nice)
