Hermie Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 IY iginally posted by Ragnos [/i] I'm reading Kurt "cooks his head" Its the genius Erlend Loe who is the author. MMMpie and herminator_64 knows who he is. Kurt is a series, this is the 4 book in the series. Its really funny. Yes, yes, Erlend Loe is great indeed. the other three books ("Kurt, quo vadis?", "Kurt and the Fish" and "Kurt becomes horrible") were all great books. Another good Norwegian writer is B. Andreas Bull-Hansen, who writes fantasy. His series; Tale of the horned god, Is probably fantasy i´ve ever read (exept for LotR, but everyone figures that:D)

|GG|Carl Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 I'm reading "Murder on the orient express" by Agatha Christie. A pretty old book, but I actually like it.

BCanr2d2 Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 I am currently on Tom Clancy's The Bear And The Dragon. I think it's the follow up to Executive Orders. Only really started reading again 2 yrs ago, whilst overseas, to pass the time on trains and planes. That was with Rainbow 6, tried to read Don Quixote - I am still yet to finish it, it is a very hard read, very scatterbrained. Have a few old books yet to start reading. Paradise Lost, The Iliad amongst them. What I really want to read next is the 15 or so books that of Tolkein that run in parallel to The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy.
tFighterPilot Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 I'm currently reading Star Wars: Jedi Academy Trilogy: Dark Apprentice. I bought with eBay from some woman from UK.
ZBomber Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 Originally posted by MMMPIE!!! Well, then you and i have very different wiews... Don't worry about him, hes usually an ass when taking in others opinions. Anyways, I have to read a book for school. Woodsong. Extremely boring and distuging. But, when I finish that, I'm gonna start A New jedi order.
Joetheeskimo Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code. 3rd in the series. Artemis Fowl is by far my favorite series. It's AWESOME!! Has anyone else read this? It's by Eoin Colfer.
KBell Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 At the moment I'm reading The Catcher in the Rye. It's for school
Kylilin Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 I have just started reading On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony.

Well, i think 12 of them are actually written by his son, cristopher tolkien... I've heard they're not too good, but i've always wanted to read 'em anyways
The_One Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I'm reading "Dude Where's My Country?" by Michael Moore at the moment. The Unfinished Tales by Christopher Tolkien are a collection of all the notes and writings JRR had made about Middle Earth and the world of LOTR. They were pieced together and annotated by his son, Christopher into 12 volumes. I've got the first one, and have read parts of it. It's not something you read all in one go - it's kinda like the LOTR appendices. But it is very interesting and lets LOTR freaks like me have a far greater insight and understanding into the amazing world that Tolkien created for us Worth it only if you are a real hardcore fan.
Darth Eggplant Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I just finished one of the Dune Prequels The Buttlerian Jihad now I am rereading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire but for a book you might want to check out The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy by Tim Burton
IG-64 Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I just read rebecca (good book) and am reading pilgrims progress(intresting so far)
golferbr Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Right now I am reading Timeline by Michael Crichton. I just started it because a friend said it is a great book. I am trying to get it done before the movie comes out, but with school work it might not happen.
Swat Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I'm reading Halo: The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund (great great book) and Prey by Michael Crichton
coupes. Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I just finnished reading a compilation some of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories, translated by Baudelaire (yes it's in french!) which was awsome! Baudelaire adds so much to Poe's style, the descriptions and general feeling are greatly enhanced. Right now I'm reading 'The picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde and it's pretty god also. My next read is gonna be Kafka's 'Metamorphosis', I can'T wait to read it, I heared great things about it.
toms Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 Weird, the first book in the His Dark Materials trilogy is called "Northern Lights" in the Uk. Looks like another title they have changed for the US market. Still, awesome book whatever it is called. as of last night the top 4 books of all time on that bbc poll were as follows: 1 - LOTR 2 - Pride & Predjudice 3 - His dark Materials 4 - Harry Potter can't remember what was 5th. although the results change after every programme. They haven't had the LOTR programme yet so I can't see anything catching that. COuldn't make up my mind between LOTR & HDM so I cheated and voted for both.
leXX Posted November 10, 2003 Posted November 10, 2003 I'm not reading any books atm, but the last book I read was Halo The Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund. Read it in just over a day because I couldn't put it down. An excellent read if you are a Halo fan.
