Lovecraft stories called The Lurking Fear. Also, Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript, which so far is pretty amazing.

I'm on the Last chapter of the fellowship and will be getting the two towers tomorrow. Why the heck would you doubt an educated person reading one of the best book series known to man?

True_Avery Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 The sad part is I've seen the unphotoshopped version of that pic. I read lord of the rings and douglas adams when i was 13, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Ahhhh! Bart, that's perverted. What book is that pic from? Playboy the book?

Bart, we have now come to a time where you have ran outta jokes. when are you going to learn how to be quiet and stop commenting. I think you are just asking for more. Now that is creepy . And, Bart can never run out of good jokes. If he did, he would not have that badge now would he? Seriously Charlton, quit being so immature. Right now I am reading Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. Gr8 book so far!

Darth Avlectus Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Finished STAR WARS Darth Bane: Dynasty of Evil for the second time. Man, I tell ya. The life of secrecy and undermining the republic. Dark side magics. Quite a thing to behold.
Pavlos Posted January 19, 2010 Author Posted January 19, 2010 I've been reading A.O. Lovejoy's The Great Chain of Being: A Study of the History of an Idea; his ideas on "monistic pathos", the delight human beings take in unifying opposites into one whole, are peculiarly fascinating. Also rereading that most sinister of plays Macbeth: She should have died hereafter; There would have been time for such a word. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. This sums it up in a suitably inadequate manner, I suppose:
Totenkopf Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Just finished a book called Old Man's War* by John Scalzi. Pretty good read. *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Man%27s_War
Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I'm about to start the book Dante's Inferno (Divine Comedy book 1) written in the year 1337.

Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 The English translation. I think there is a Video game comming out about it too. The bumber is that it is M and I don't care much for M rated games exept Halo and War Hammer: DOW

I believe Pavlos is asking who translated it into English from the original Italian. Some translations are better than others.
jrrtoken Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 I'd have to say that this is one of the better translations, particularly since it includes rather verbose, comprehensive explanations for otherwise obscure 14th century Italian lore, as well as a myriad of maps, diagrams, etc. Don't bother yourself with the most recent "translation", since I don't have much faith in the historicity of the game to begin with, particularly the notion that Dante battle his pagan role models in Limbo. I swear, soon we'll see Fahrenheit 451: THE GAME. Coming from the creators of Game of the Year God of War™ comes the epic adaptation of the greatest sci-fi novel of all time! Firefighter Guy Montag embarks upon an action-packed, gritty and mature quest against a future government, all armed with nothing but a flamethrower! Execute mind-blowing attacks and combos with a stunning arsenal of FIRE! Save the future of tomorrow... today! Plays best with NVidia™
none223 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Gah! I hate Fahrenheit 451!!! We're reading it in English class....And I hate it. For my own books, I'm reading the Battle of the Books books (its a competition about...books) and the Eulalia! by Brian Jaques, the latest book in the Redwall series.
