book one, okay. Movie 1 over-edited crap (too much material removed for the sequel)
Book two, it was pretty good.
Book three, it was TOO political IMO.
I haven’t really read any novels in the past year or so, I’ve just been buried in my textbooks.
Physics, Calculus, Behavioral Neuroscience, and Object-Oriented Programming… It’s all fascinating!

: HOLY SHIT!
I just finished Ender In Exile. I’m now reading 1984 and after that I’ll be picking up another book in the Ender series.
no dont
only the first is kinda good and orson scot card is a super shity guy
Ok…
Ender’s Game was good, as was Ender in Exile. There are so many story lines in that series I don’t think I could read just two of the books. Shadow of the Hegemon and Speaker for the Dead will probably be the next two I read.
And what does an author’s personal beliefs have to do with how good his book are? It’s not like he’s preaching what he believes in that series.
Last book I finished was The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown. I’m currently reading Out from Boneville by Jeff Smith. Don’t judge me!
I went like a yo-yo when reading through this thread. Some brilliant classics and some piles of shite, I was both impressed and enraged. Well done BM, you’ve made me bipolar.
Anyways, due to Uni I haven’t gotten around to reading the newest Steven Erikson (Dust of Dreams) but that’s mostly because it’s something like a 1000-pages long and I have to read other books for my course. Northanger Abbey is the current one, and it ain’t all bad. Certainly better than Pride and fucking Prejudice.
Also, I recently finished Terry Pratchett’s newest book and it was fucking awesome. Before that I read The Book of Dave, by Will Self. So very weird. So very, very weird.
Ian Douglas’ Legacy Trilogy:
Semper Mars
Luna Marnie
Europa Strike
So I’m probably going to get Gravity’s Rainbow from the library tomorrow. Can’t wait to read it as it sounds interesting. Though it will impede me being able to get a good grade in British Lit :fffuuu: .
Wait, what, British Lit?
I’m taking a class called British Literature and right now we’re reading Robinson Crusoe, which is a pretty good book but I feel like reading other things right now (like more Terry Pratchet :awesome: ). It doesn’t help that we have to read 60 pages a week and have a quiz every Friday :retard: .
Yeah, we British are pretty awesome. You should just have a class called British studies in which you sit there wishing you were British. Also, sixty pages a week is easy peasy.
Also, I hope that one day you’ll spell Pratchett’s name right. First Terrence, and now this? For shame!
How about Pratttchyettt?
And I’m a pretty slow reader. Took me about 6 or 7 months to read The Stand. Though I’m sure most of that is that I hardly ever read outside of school.
Also, hot damn, if you’re doing a course on literature read all the fucking time.
Not as slow as you’d think… It took me close to a month to read that.
Um, thanks? I guess I should start reading more often. It’s not like I don’t read at home, just not very often.
Now you see how bad it is: he reads quicker than you.
Okay, I’m going to read Gravity’s Rainbow all tomorrow :awesome: .
