Samuel Dravis Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I'm reading The Prophet by Khalil Gibran.Prepare to be bored! I have been reading the collection of H. P. Lovecraft stories called The Lurking Fear. Also, Kierkegaard's Concluding Unscientific Postscript, which so far is pretty amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I seriously doubt this. Why do you doubt me? 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I like his prose >:|That was probably my problem; there weren't any arguments in it so it seemed like substanceless fluff to me. I read too much philosophy! You're only saying that because he had an amazing rack I swear, I read him for the articles arguments! Best story so far out of the HP Lovecraft book: The Hound.

Pavlos Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Te Darasuum Mandalor Posted February 9, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jae Onasi Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Which translation are you using? Unless you're Italian, of course. >_< The English translation. I believe Pavlos is asking who translated it into English from the original Italian. Some translations are better than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted February 9, 2010 Share 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™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
none223 Posted February 9, 2010 Share 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.
