Of Mice and Men is excellent.
I’m going back through my Lovecraft collection books. I just started The Haunter of the Dark.
Brain Rules Book. - excellent book. Medina does not include anything that has not peer reveiwed, and is himself, a brain researcher.
Awesome if you are interested in brain function.
And Jambo, Demon Huanted World by Sagan is amazing… Well wroth the read.
Just finished The Cell by Stephen King (eh, it was ok - not quite what I was expecting. Needed more suspense and horror); and I’ve finally gotten around to start reading the Foundation trilogy (Asimov).
wuthering heights, I read it in the “advanced” reading group in sixth grade but never understood it/finished it.
Yup… me too.
Part of the problem in understanding it, is that there needs to be a defined theory - so far, there is not. It is more of a spin the wheel and see what you get.
Part fo the problem, is that in quantum dynamics, so much of it is unexplored, and must be simply theory… for the time being. As robust as a theory can be, it is still subject to amendment. Round and round it goes.
Are you familiar with the some of the recent work regarding a 44 demnsional universe? That… is a world of headache.
Latest read? A case study of evidence for Roswel… .Interesting - but proving the source is a challenge.
Ay, me too. I actually read it aloud to myself sometimes. It works on my retarded Tom Sawyer language style.
I love OMaM.
I’m currently reading Persuasion for class and I hate it. Now that I think of it I should have been reading the next 2 chapters :fffuuu: . And just for me I’m reading the story The Whisperer in Darkness by H.P. Lovecraft. Awesome. Plus there’s a movie for it coming out soon.
Reading The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter and just finished reading The Night Watch by Sarah Waters, both for Uni. I’d recommend both of 'em, especially Night Watch. Still trying to get through Dust of Dreams, and when I’m finished with that I’ll start on Lord Sunday by Garth Nix, then The Road by Cormack McCarthy, then Daywatch by Sergei Lukyanenko. I am in a good reading place right now.

I’m reading Finch. Very hl2ish.
I have been reading forums.
Man I’m such a loser.
Which Finch?
The one written by Jeff Vandermeer.
Probably should have guessed there would be more than one book with that name.
Just finished reading The Road by Cormack McCarthy. I know everyone loves it, but goddamn, it’s for a good reason.
Started reading Lord Sunday, by Garth Nix. It’s the last of the Keys To The Kingdom series and I’ve been waiting for it for ages. They’re kid books, but hell, so’s His Dark Materials. I don’t understand why people joygasm about Harry Potter when you’ve got all this wonderfulness at hand.
Hitler - a Comparative Anazlysis of His Evil.
It is a good book, but heavy slogging. It is very complete in research, but find the auther relies a bit too much on bate and hook tricks. (Shrugs) It is not for the light hearted reader - In some ways, I merely wanted to know what the various ideas were concerning his mindset in how he came to them.
Good, but a book I have put down for a bit in favour of “The Greatest Show on Earth” by Richard Dockins. I will come back to the Hitler thing after a bit - I can only take so much concerning the twisted. I am at a part where the author is talking about Hitlers niece claiming that Hitler would get off after a vouyer show, and then have her, pee on him… Sick puppy. I really cannot say that the Golden Shower thing is something of interest.
I love OMaM as well as To Kill A Mockingbird. I’m one of the few people at my school who loves to read, let alone read older books like those.
Right now, I’m reading the “Chaos Walking” series which are kind of weird, and I’m reading the second book of it, entitled ‘The Ask and the Answer,’ it’s pretty good so far.
Okay, so I finished reading Lord Sunday. That series of books has been with for seven years and though it didn’t finish perfectly, it was amazing. I guess this is how Harry Potter fans felt after reading the last one, but without all the disappointment and self-loathing.
Now back to reading Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber, sadly. God, I hate her writing.
Thank god people still read.
I just finished Flowers for Algernon. I can’t believe it took me so long to get to it; amazing book.
What’s the longest book you people’s have read? Barring of course things like War and Peace or Don Quixote…
Also, I don’t think we’ll be getting any more books of Mr Pratchett, sadly.
DOUBLE POST TIME!
Finished reading The Bloody Chamber. It was shit. And now I have to write an essay on it. Baaargh.
On a lighter note, I’m now reading The Day Watch, by Sergei Lukyanenko, and it’s fucking awesome. One of those odd cases where the film is as good as the book.
