What Book Are You Reading? — Part IV

Well, im not reading yet but will start in the next week or so,
etext.lib.virginia.edu/stc/Coler … riner.html
I decided to read it because i love rime of the acient mariner by iron maiden
(i have a wide variety of tastes in music)

that has to be one of my favorite poems ever. First off, it’s just plain cool. Secondly, it’s long, not to mention epic.

I liked a lot of poems by Coleridge but personally i think i liked Woodsworth better :wink:

Lord of the rings 2- just finished 1 and afterwards will read 3. They are the coolness as books they’re better than their films I think.

Still reading Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore (now up to “in a web of interweaving lines”).

And picked up Introduction à la Rhétorique: Théorie et Pratique (Introduction to Rhetorics: Introduction and Practise) by Olivier Reboul.

Well, I just finish “Terrible Times” book 3 of The Eddie Dickens Trilogy by Philip Ardagh.
And is now reading:

  • ‘Phenomena: Bok 5: Enigma’ by Ruben Eliassen
  • ‘Tehanu’ Ursula K. Le Guin
  • ‘Powers’ by Ursula K. Le Guin
  • ‘Papirvegger’ by John Ajvide Lindqvist
  • ‘Tales from Earthsea’ by Ursula K. Le Guin

painocus:Thankyou painocus, I think you made me read the john ajvide lindqvist books :content:

Bought “I, Robot” by Isaac Asimov, and finished reading it today(It was my third time reading it) and it’s nothing like the movie :wink: the only thing they have in common might be some names and the laws but nothing else.
I, Robot is a collections of short storys about robot. Very fun to read.

Bought “Darkly Devoted Dexter” Today I’ve seen the first season and read the first book, many thinks the tv-series is better than the book, but I think the ending in the book is better than the ending in the series(that doesn’t mean the series has a bad ending just that the book has a better ending)

Atm I’m finishing “Wind-Up Bird Chronicle”, by Haruki Murakami. Pretty unusual story and guess what - dreams are very important part of it :smile:

REALLY… sniffle sniffle :cry: . That’s really to bad, wow. I read From the Two Rivers three years ago". Then I read The Eye of the World last year. Then I just borrowed The Great Hunt and I have only finished the prolouge. I also just joined The Wheel of Time Mud (multi-user-dimension). And he was still writing?!? I thought the series was like 15 years old. That is sad, what did he die from? By the way no spoilers please!

Earthsea? Like the Studio Ghibli movie? :eek:

I’m reading “the Catcher in the Rye” :cool:

I finished reading ‘the catcher in the rye’ recently.

No prob :content: His first book “Let the Right one In” is now in English BTW.
Run and buy, boys and girls :tongue:

Yes, the Ghibli film is loosely based on the third book "The Farthest Shore ", takes elements from the first book “A Wizard from Earthsea” and two characters from the forth book “Tehanu”.

But the books are far superior to the movie IMO :grin:

Finished If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler . Props to Bruno for recommending it, it was awesome. Best closure ever.

Started reading a long graphic novel (fancy word for comic book :razz:) called Bone , about 1000 pages or so long. Also reserved The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and Cat’s Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut.

The catcher in the rye, i read that like 2 years ago. a good read but i find it a bit over rated

My mom says the Fountainhead is AMAZING, though not quite as good as Atlas Shrugged. hehehe, not too big on Vonnegut, though. His concept of time in Slaughterhouse-Five scares the hell out of me.

Land of Fire by Chris Ryan… It’s a pretty good book.

Irrational Man, and I am also starting Night tomorrow.

i dont Read much but i orderd this book on Lucid Dreaming of Ebay LOL

cool which one?

Finished Se una Notte at last (Ryan, come talk to me about it!).

Still reading Introduction à la Rhétorique: Théorie et Pratique (Introduction to Rhetorics: Introduction and Practise), by Olivier Reboul. Also, on Rhetorics, I’ve picked up the good old On Rhetorics by Aristotle, and the Portuguese translation for Perelman and Tyteka’s Traite de l’Argumentation.

Also reading Daniel Hausman’s Philosophy of Economics and Ariano Suassuna’s O Auto da Compadecida (“auto” translates as act, the dramatical genre similar to the farse, in which the plot stands as a religious–symbolic allegory of life; “compadecida” breaks into “com–” which means something like with or for the other and “padecida,” the feminine past participle of “padecer,” to suffer, therefore “she who suffers for/with someone,” a reference to Our Lady of Aparecida), a now traditional play from Brazilian modernism, nice story actually.

I’m waiting on the Fountainhead to get returned by some bum (with good taste) who took it out at my library. Currently reading: Sports Illustrated :razz:
