ckcsaber Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 The last book I really enjoyed was "A Confederecy of Dunces". The book is down-righ hillarious. I really recommend it if you want to read something that is not so main-stream. "The Life of Pi" is a great book I just read it about a month ago. It deals with a persons faith and relationship with God during a horrible shipwreck, and its after-math. It is a survivor story, but it is done very differently. It is a fairly quick read.

yaebginn Posted August 12, 2004 Author Share Posted August 12, 2004 Yeah he was good friends with Tolkien, too. Tolkien actually brought Lewis to Christ. a litle fun fact. I may read stupid white men just for laughs, but probably not. Yeah, the outsiders rocked, Se hinton is/was a great author. Her books are really short, though.

Revlt Coranier Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Before reading the Outsiders, I had never heard of a greaser. Reading that book, when she described the greasers, it was like she was describing me. Except I don't have a bad home life. So now I can put myself in a class.

sadisticmonkey Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Some people don't like Harry Potter, so what? I've just finished a book called Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.

The trouble is that if you eat the cookie, you'll eat it thinking it's bad, which really gonna make it taste bad. Or maybe it will make it taste even better.

yaebginn Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 I have no interest in reading...Catwoman the novel. it just doesnt interest me. same with harry potter. the stoty doesnt interest me. it may be good to some, but the stroy doesnt sound interesting. and the cookie is bad cause you can see whats in it. Like, if I am biting into a cookie and see it is made of beans. I dont like beans, so I wouldnt eat it. if someone who liked beans said it was good, good for them. and lets not turn this into a harry potter debate, please. it seems all my threads are now debates.

ET Warrior Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Originally posted by yaebginn btw finsihed prey. it was pretty good, but timeline was better. *attempts to maintain on-topic-ness* Agreed, Prey doesn't even come close to being as good as timeline, though it's still a fantastic book. And as for your Harry potter debacle.. Originally posted by me Harry Potter series - You can drop dead if you want to bash on it for being a "kiddie" book. This is an amazing story and you're a fool if you deprive yourself of it. And I, of all people in the world, am the person to listen to about reading Harry Potter. Because I used to be one of the people who said, "no, I'm never going to read it because it sounds stupid and the movies were dumb" I refused to read them for so long, they just weren't for me. But finally my family convinced me to give it a try, and I read the first 4 books in one week. They are FANTASTIC stories, well written, and VERY easy to read. You are, in fact, a fool to not even give them a chance. Originally posted by yaebginn dont bash it unless you've finished it. That's from the NJO thread....kind of applies to the Harry potter series aswell neh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tFighterPilot Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 What about the 5th one? Anyway, if you read it, read it in the british version. Why are there two versions anyway? Are americans so stupid that they can't read british english? Yeah, the movies suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I read the 5th on in a day, but I read the first 4 before the 5th had come out We have trouble with British English because all y'all have such strange phrases that hold no meaning in America. Phrases like 'taking the mickey' means nothing to Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaebginn Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 I ahvent bashed HP, though. I may read the first one, just to check it. maybe later.
