Full Tilt
 

I am currently reading "Full Tilt" by Neal Shusterman. Its a psychological fantasy story.

Heavy Metal Magazine: July 2oo6

Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment by James Patterson

Less Than Zero by Bret Easton Ellis.

This is the first book in years that i've actually read and it makes me feel oh so productive.

name of the rose by umberto eco

The Man Without Qualities by Robert Musil
I don't know if it's the way it's translated from German or what, but this book is weirdly hilarious.

I've got back into Clancy novels. Finished up Rainbow Six and Cardinal of the Kremlin recently. Going to get Clear and Present Danger soon.

Bleachers by John Grisham

Bored of the Rings by Harvard Lampoon. God only knows how many times I've read this book sofar :/

Outsiders
 

I am re-reading "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton. It is a book I read in high school, and I thought it was time to really understand what it was about.

I had to read that three times one year at two different schools. I knew so much about it at the end of the seventh grade, I hated it.

But, currently I am reading:



Heavy Metal Magazine: Summer o6

V, by Thomas Pynchon. I'm almost halfway through it. :)

I've been reading up on Nostradamus' Prophecies, and sometimes the authors try to interpret his way of writing them nito future events, and also match some with past events :/

Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife by Mary Roach

Choke by Chuck Palahniuk

i'm reading _it's all over but the shoutin'_ by rick bragg.

whiterat, is _less than zero_ the book the movie was based on, the one where robert downey, jr., gave the guy a bj for coke?

I've been procrastinating for months to get around to reading that :(

Star Wars: Galaxy Of Fear - The Nightmare Machine

sick but good read, i thought.

Yeah, I put down a good 70 or so pages yesterday after work and it's fairly interesting. If the opening pages don't hook you in, then I don't know what will.

sevenforce, I usta take the star wars galaxy of fear books to school and try to get my teacher to read them, but all the other kids wanted goosebumps. dicks

I just finished reading Philip Roth's Goodbye, Columbus. Not bad.

now i'm reading _somebody told me_, his collection of feature stories (mostly for the _new york times_).

Peter Benchley's Jaws: 10th print.

Airships by Barry Hannah. Marvelous.

Tom Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons, and I'm having a hard time believing that the title character would be so sheltered.

A little booklet that dame with the Life and Crimes of Alice Cooper box set.

Gore Vidal's Myra Breckinridge.

The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier by Bruce Sterling

I finally finished Choke after 2 months of reading and I can say it's argueably the second best book I've ever read. (the first being Sideways Stories from Wayside School).

I just started Invisible Monsters. Hopefully it's as entertaining as Choke.

Holy Blue Hell's Bells, I thought I was the only fan of those books.

Invisible Monsters is sort of a frustrating read, but it certainly pays off in the end.

I just started Slaughterhouse Five.

And fuck yeah Sideways Stories From Wayside School :rockemoticon

why did you think that, everyone with a lick of sense likes those books :( do you not know a lot of people with a lick of sense :(

I read the books in my elementary school, where I was the only kid smart enough to enjoy them (or books in general, for that matter), and in all the time since then I've only met three people who remembered the series. :(

Yeah, Wayside School is Falling Down.
That was a great read when I was in elementary school.

oh hush up. nobody believes that you are capable of reading >:

Yeah....you're right. I just kinda 'Shrug Off' what people type on here, as I can't read simple english text.


Oh, sorry.....WHAT? :/

I hope that's true. I'm on the third chapter and so far i've came to the conclusion that it doesn't make any sense and it's boring as hell.

i think all of chuck p's books are boring as hell.

i haven't read the latest short story one. i might as i've heard that he has finally gotten away from telling the same story over and over again.

maybe.

The first time I read it I gave up on page 80 or so because I was bored shitless, but over the summer I tried again, made my way through, and read the last 150 pages in one sitting.

It's not a bad book, but since the pieces dont fall together until about halfway through it's like a chore to try to enjoy it until then. I imagine it's way better the second time around.

Principia Discordia, Or, How I Found Goddess and What I Did to Her When I Found Her: The Magnum Opiate of Malaclypse the Younger by Malaclypse, Robert Anton Wilson, Kerry W. Thornley, and Loompanics Unlimited.

Phew.

Silent Bob Speaks. Great book. Especially the GREASY SHITS.

deryni chronicles

"Founding Bothers" by Joseph J. Ellis.

I heartily recommend this book to history enthusiasts. The events it talks about aren't anything new, but it provides interesting insights into the character of the American founding fathers.

I'm reading Red Mars. It's...O.K., at the least

I'm just into the 3rd part,
and it mostly seems like a Soap Opera, only, in space/on Mars. :/
I'll still read through it, though

for some reason i never found kurt vonnegut's writing to be funny or interesting. i tried to read slaughterhouse five and cat's cradle, but i quickly lost interest

World War Z.

I just got this book yesterday and I can't put it down. I'm only a hundred or so pages in but I would say the most enjoyable part of the book so far was when Larry the Cable guy got blown up by a grenade.

The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.

Swords in the Mist by Fritz Leiber and Angry Candy by Harlan Ellison

the god delusion by richard dawkins

freeway warrior: highway holocaust by joe dever

the post i am typing

Halo: Ghosts of Onyx :nerd

Time by Stephen Baxter (I heard it sucks but I've got nothing else)

The Catcher And The Rye For School, So far they Said Goddam over 30 times.

Alive - Piers Paul Read

D- for basic observational skills on quite a fundamental level regarding this book

Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson.

I read this book about 8 years ago and I just found out a few weeks ago that it was actually the first of a three part trilogy. So naturally I ordered all three off amazon.com

I remember i was supposed to do a book report in 4th grade and I chose that book and i did the entire book report on the first chapter. lol :( I got caught.

The tag on the inside of ur moms panties.

Your a fag.

DUNE.

shut up wad

Of Mice And Men for school

a mice and a man

I pooped on your head

It's about a drummer who gets held down by all his band mates who one by one poop on his head. He ends up leaving the band but becomes a poop on the head offender pooping on his wifes head and foriegn people that get in his way.

I think Catcher in the Rye breaks the record for saying goddamn the most. And Of Mice and Men is my favorite book about killing retarded people.

I'm reading the Iliad and the Oddyssey because I chose English as my major and my high school system didn't feel we needed to read it.

Henry VI, Part I.

So am I. As long as I don't have to read any more damned sonnets, I'm fine.

Amen.

All the King's Men

Over Christmas I read Why People Believe Weird Things, The End of Faith, and The Varieites of Scientific Experience. Right now I'm reading The Cosmic Landscape and re-reading The Demon-Haunted World. I'm also gonna try to finish Our Inner Ape and The Language Instinct, and start another book I picked up called Religion Explained.

The John Hodgman book about how he got the job playing PC in those "Mac makes fun of PC" commercials.

My American History prof is gonna have us read that. Should I be pissed or happy?

Romeo and Juliet.

Act I Scene i

Ive got a long way to go man :(

Can we limit this thread to reading for ENJOYMENT and not HOMEWORK?

Absolute Power by David Baldacci.

I've yet to see the movie.

It's a quick read, and pretty entertaining.

Starting to go through Harris' books again, read his new book Hannibal Rising.

Raymond Chandler- The Big Sleep

Less'n any of you didn't know, this was the main inspiration for The Big Lebowski, which makes the book that much cooler.

Swan Song. Two words..... FUCKING DISTURBING.

Sex, Time and Power by Leonard Smalin.

Silence of the Lambs, Harris.

alphabet of manliness... again...

:lol lol

hehe .

Marquis de Sade - Philosophy of the Bedroom.


The Smiths song - Suffer Little Childern got me interested in the Moors Murderers and that got me curious about Marquis de Sade. Then I found a pdf of it on supervert.com and thought "why not give it a read?"

Catch-22

i gotta read I Know Why the Cage Bird sings for english (srry Gadzooks) and i just have to say it's the worst book i've ever read, or at least the hardest to get through. I mean, i can read a book pretty fast but this one felt like it would never end. :(

Oh, and Twilight for pleasure. I luv that book! ^-^

This thread.

Hahahaha, that is so original and unique. Dude, you're like a comedy goldmine!

LOL
Sarcastic bitch

Oh man, I am still working through Crime and Punishment. :(

Slaughterhouse Five - Vonnegut

This will be the second book I've read of his!

Or you could just merge the topics, y'know.

Man and his symbols - C.G. Jung

You should be reading "If Chins Could Kill--the Bruce Campbell Story."

i'm more than halfway through BONE (haven't picked it back up in awhile), have 3 achewood books that i need to make some use of, epicurus the sage that hasn't even been opened i don't think :x, but yeah

i think i'll start some of those this week

which more or less means that i won't

If I start spending more time reading on paper as opposed to a monitor it would have been done by now. For all the work I put into getting the book back. :hourglass
