Pepper the pirate Posted January 30, 2001 Share Posted January 30, 2001 Do you guys read books? I mean other than used for studying? Perhaps long adventure-novels or short stories..... Here are some of my favorites: Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre Alexsandre Dumas' Three Musketeers J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of The Rings Barbara Hambly's Children of the Jedi (a Star Wars-book) Joy Adamson's Born free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec Ryan Posted February 2, 2001 Share Posted February 2, 2001 Well, I prefer to watch TV or going to movies or playing games than reading books. But I read some of Anne Rice's and Michael Crichton's. ------------------ Dec Ryan The Longest Journey Fans Forum End of the Journey "Make like a jellyfish and dry up on the beach!"

MegaMonkey Posted February 4, 2001 Share Posted February 4, 2001 Philip K. ****'s Do Androids dream of an electric sheep ( read it English; hard It isn't translated to finnish or at least I don't know about it ) Gunther-Locher Buccheim's ( don't know if spelled that name right ) 'Das Boot', or U-96, the true story about the WWII-time submarine is frightening and really exciting... Wonderful book! Väinö Linna's Tuntematon Sotilas goes here as well; it's even better as book than a movie, and really is a book every Finn should read at least once... and of course Kalevala is good too Tolkien studied Kalevala BtW... ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepper the pirate Posted February 4, 2001 Author Share Posted February 4, 2001 To MegaMonkey: Jeah, I think that Tuntematon Sotilas is better as a book, I've actually read it, twice!! I've also seen the movies... I haven't read the whole Kalevala...just some parts of it in school... I've heard (of course ) about that "Tolkien studied Kalevala"-thing... Cool!
