I've just started to read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, and so far it's not as interesting as i was hoping.

tempted · Jul 17th, 2008, 09:41 AM

Just finished Eclipse, the 3rd book of the Twilight series, i became addicted to the saga actually, after the first i couldn't stop until i read all 3, and now i can't wait for the last one, Breaking Dawn... it didn't seem interesting in the begining, but after a few pages i found myself unable to stop reading, i don't know i guess you have to be into the whole fantasy/vampire/werewolf/romance kind of thing to enjoy it... but i loved it. So now i have no idea of what i'm going to read, i've been wanting to read Night by Elie Wiesel... so maybe i'll do that.

Reading nothing, but I'd like some good book suggestion. I'm out of inspiration lately, but I crave a book. A good book.

Pu the Owl · Aug 18th, 2008, 09:06 PM

Just started Saroyan's The Human Comedy.

I guess you could technically say World War Z. I let a friend borrow though because she's even more into zombie related stuff then I am. I have no idea if she's finished though. I should get it back and continue it.

I'm afraid I've started reading too many books at the same time, most of them are not pieces of cake, too

Currently reading Naipaul's The Night watchman's Occurrence Book, de Beauvoir's The Mandarins and Kierkegaard's Aut-Aut. Thanks god I haven't found that Kant's book I was looking for...

I'm jumping books at the moment (the list of unfinished books I have is infinite) so I'm currently reading Stalin's Ghost by Martin Cruz Smith. It's not a political nonfiction but a thriller/mystery fiction instead (I tend to gravitate towards mysteries/thrillers more than anything else I'm afraid). So far it's pretty intriguing with some sharp, witty writing...I like it! I hope I can stay with it to the end without letting some of my other books (recently bought The Art Thief by Noah Charney and The Castle by Franz Kafka) lead me astray.

Anybody talk to Meryl at all recently? I notice she hasnt posted in quite some time, which isnt like her. Hmm somebody chime in if they know something!

Pu the Owl · Feb 4th, 2009, 10:46 AM

I've noticed that too, but I know nothing. Time ago she was talking about moving somewhere else, so maybe she really moved and she couldn't come because of that for several reasons

Let's hope everything's ok with her

Berserker · Feb 10th, 2009, 01:02 AM

Anybody send her an email yet?

goodman · Feb 10th, 2009, 04:47 PM

I pm'd her, but will try emailing her for sure, looks like she must not have internet capability currently, will let you know if i hear something...

Berserker · Feb 11th, 2009, 05:58 AM

Greatly appreciated!

Finished Marley and Me, it was a quick and easy read. Haven't seen the movie and I refuse to!

Movies based on recent books are most of the times only made for money purposes, not artistic or whatever. They can even end ruining the book for you, sometimes. I think it's wise to avoid it if you can. Unless it's a very reliable project and there's serious proof it is.

Reading some work by Brusselmans and just finished reading Dostojewski's 'the player', ok book but nothing special.

trunks69420 · May 5th, 2009, 10:58 AM

zombie survival guide- matt brooks. just started it... but i love it.

Pu the Owl · Sep 1st, 2009, 10:24 AM

I'm nearly done with Hemingway's Green Hills of Africa. I find it hard to place it anywhere, as other works of Hemingway as well. My reading sould is split in two

Berserker · Sep 2nd, 2009, 03:14 PM

I am about to finish "Barbarians at the gate" by Bryan Burrough and John Helyar. Excellent read!

Pu the Owl · Sep 2nd, 2009, 04:36 PM

Started Suna no onna (The woman in the dunes) by Abe Kobo last night, and I'm going too fast with it and will finish it today because I like it a lot.

Berserker · Dec 29th, 2009, 03:02 PM

I finally hope to start "Also sprach zarathustra" very shortly, now busy in some old stories by mr. Poe. Always a great read!
