Books

What books are everyone reading right now? (That sounds weird . . .)

I need some nice long ones to read. Actually,

Strangers in a Strange Land is sitting on my piano bench clamoring to be read at the moment. I forget who the author is, though.

And I recently finished Dream of the Red Chamber, a Chinese classic. And I was horribly confused because all the names are impossible to remember, and all the characters start sounding the same after a while.

I think I reread Lord of the Rings a while ago, too.

well, i'm reading The Scarlet Pimpernel[/i] lol... after we watched the hilarious movie with Ian McKellen in it...

and i just finished reading [u]Abhorsen the latest book in the sabriel/lirael series by garth nix (they're really good fantasy books!)

and that's basically it. i've watched a lot more movies, since i had soo much time over break. i think i watched 7 in 4 days...

I'm currently reading The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara book one Ilse Witch by Terry Brooks

its the first in a three book series and i got the third book for Christmas so i'm rereading the first two

I just finished reading The Westing Game, really good book, I'd recomend it strongly.

Don't know what I'll read next...

[ElvenMist]

yes... i've read it... in 5th grade, actually... but that's okay!

[RavenEye]

I thought it was a very good book... I really liked it. The ending was surprising to me, never would've guessed it. They should do it into a movie! lol

I read Raymond E Feists Talon of the Silverhawk Which was quite impressive. The Rfitwar saga was much better, though.

[Scellanis]

[Cougie]

Shadow of the Hegeman by Orson Scott Card

This is the second book of the Shadow Trilogy

This trilogy is a sequel trilogy to The Ender Saga (4 books).

I actually like these better than Harry Potter.

Anyone else read these?

[Hermione]

The Ender series! Somebody else knows them! Cougerman, I demand that you go to http://www.hatrack.com at once. (That's OSC's official website)

[azn wizard]

ive only read ender's game....

[Hermione]

Azn, you should really read the other books, too. They're radically different from Ender's Game. Both Card (the author) and Ender (the character) have had worlds of experience since Ender's Game, and the next three books really reflect that.

Yesterday I finished a memoir-ish sort of book by an Indian author. I forget her name though- I do remember her initials are B and L. The book was called Jasmine. I still can't decide whether it's good or not.

[Broken Machine]

You can usually catch me reading either Machiavelli's The Prince, a real good power play book, or Sun Tzu's Art of War. I can't recall how many times I've read them but once you can relate life of today to the lessons in each of the books you can really have an advantage over people that say just live life day by day. One of the other books that I have been seriously reading, and not browsing through, is Sacred Heart by Marcello Montecino. It's a good book that I already read once but it's still such a great story that I had to read it again. Reminded me of Puzo's The Sicilian.
