Jurassic Park and Lost World were good. I felt To Kill a Mocking Bird and The Great Gatsby( both read for school ) were boring, well written but I never got into them. I don't really remember Paradise Lost, although I read it in school. I want to pick up The Divine Comedy( Dante's Inferno ) because we read a few choice cantos in school, it was pretty nice. 'd pick up the Dragonlance and Wheel of Time series if they weren't so damn long >< And I have Shogun sitting in my locker untouched n.n;

Catch 22 right now, just finished Dune. It was pretty boring :/.

My Mum uses a copy of Catch 22 to prop up the wonky ironing board. No offence to it, it just happens to be the EXACT right size.

Going to start reading farewell to arms any minute now.

For Whom the Bell Tolls is one of my favorite books.

[Jerome Scuggs]

Crazy English - a criticism of english semantics

Beyond Structuralism and Hermeneutics - foucault's coolest book in my opinion.

The Ticklish Subject: The Absent Centre of Political Ontology - a hard to digest zizek book, but i'm a fan

Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs : A Low Culture Manifesto - a sort-of good book, the first few chapters are pretty humorous so far

Just finished reading The Davinci's Code and Angels and Demons.
Right now I'm reading Digital Fortress, all 3 are by Dan Brown.

Another good read is Tao De Ching, Illusions and Siddhartha.

I'm on Now We Are Six by A. A. Milne in the New York Book Club's compilation of four of his books entitled "The Complete Tales of Pooh".
I might re-read the section on strings in A Brief History of Time.
[Edit: Also I read a couple chapters of Thus Spake Zarathustra a week ago, but it's very depressing so I can't bring myself to pick it up again.]

Hurray. Just finished To kill a mockingbird about an hour ago .

Is The Davinci Code good?

[DoTheFandango]

I love Miltonn as a fiction writer.

But that's about it.

I am also reading the Communist Manifesto for Humanities ( Social Studies ), and Animal Farm.

Well first, I got the title wrong, it's actually "The Complete TALES & POEMS of Winnie-the-Pooh". It has the illustatrions of Ernest H. Shepard, which the little page about him before the book starts says did the original illustrations. I don't know what woodcuts are however.

They put it together a little weird, I think. The orderof the four books is Winnie-the Pooh, then The House At Pooh Corner, followed by When We Were Very Young, and lastly Now We Are Six (which I am on now), so it's not really chronological. This makes the intruduction for Winnie-the-Pooh, with the part about Christopher Robin and the Swan named Pooh a bit confusing until you read When We Were Very Young.

Also, what is this castro alt nick nonsense and why does vyk type nonsense at the end of all his posts now?

[Ayano]

BTW how are the halo books? I've heard alot of nice stuff about them, If its worth it I'll shell out $16 for The fall of reach and First strike

I actually read that when I first started playing. great place to start learning the game.

I'm reading the Stepford Wives... dunno why, it was just around and I needed a book to read.
