V for Vendetta comic book.
that was actually not too bad, I actually got to flick through it once (a friend of mine who looks like Louis from Left 4 Dead is a bigger geek than I am)
Come on, nobody’s as semi-illiterate as Collision.
He’s just so in-between being literate and illiterate that nobody can tell any more.
I don’t need a class for this.
:fffuuu:
I already said that it’s mostly because I don’t read all that much outside of school. If I sat down and started reading I could get through those 60 pages but I don’t. And I went to the library and once again they don’t have what I want. They have 13 copies of Gravity’s Rainbow but they’re all shared between 6 or 7 different libraries and all but one of them are checked out :meh: . So I reserved one and it probably won’t be there 'till next week.
I’m reading “The Hot Zone” for the second time, it’s so enticing.

Dude, I so want to high five you right now.
I just started reading lately again
(odd little note that I get migraines frequently so I had stopped doing things that seemed to bring them on or make them worse… like reading. but recently I noticed that reading something dark with light text -i.e. this forum- I could read longer than anything else with no onset of even a headache! So now I’ve been reading again on an electronic device that lets me set the background and text color. Thank You BM!).
Anywho. I recently read “the Theory of everything: The Origin and Fate of the Universe”.
Before that I have recently read ‘Splinter Cell’, ‘Roses are Red’ by James Patterson (which the person who suggested it neglected to tell me was 6 books into a series of 13!) and ‘the Road’ by Cormac McCarthy.
I’m having a David Gemmell fest at the minute. Here’s to the late, great King of heroic fantasy.
Read some Enders Game, Snow Crash amd Shataram while you guys are at it.
Now, remind me, what books did he write? The name of this series is on the tip of my tongue, but I can’t remember if it’s his or not.
Okay, I’m finally getting Gravity’s Rainbow from my library on Thursday. Might read some Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy after that.
Wanted by Mark Millar. Disappointing.
The comic book? Yeah, I read the first chapter and didn’t find it good in any way. Which is strange because the comic is usually better than the movie.
The comic sort of reminds me of a French horror movie I recently watched, Martyrs. I got the central point (what would a world full of supervillians really look like? in the case of Wanted), but that didn’t stop either of them from being overly pretentious, deeply self-absorbed works.
The main ‘series’ he’s famous for is the Drenai saga, featuring Druss the legend and Waylander the slayer, amongst other characters. He died while writing a the last book in a speculative but non-fantastical trilogy about the Trojan War, which his wife finished. He also wrote the Stones of Power sequence, the Jon Shannow novels, and the Rigante series, along with several standalone novels.
LIFE IN HELL: Will and Abe’s Guide to the Universe By Matt Groening
I have a copy of Shōgun by James Clavelle, but I won’t have time to read it for another four months.
Terry Pratchett: Pyramids
Hilarious, as always. And with sooo much truth between the lines. Love his sense of humour. I already have almost all other Discworld novels. I know its a dreadfully selfish wish, but I hope his Alzheimer’s disease does not get worse too soon - thus he can probably finish a couple of more books before it renders him uncapable.
