Left to Right, Up then Down

Started by mechmoggy4 pages

I'm reading the classics too Tomacco, I've been reading The Count of Monte Cristo lately and I read Crime & Punishment before that.

I have some Dickens books to read also but I'll grab a copy of your book if you say its that good. 😄

don't read any books at the moment. too friggin many magazines. plus I'm reading Love HIna manga vol.3

dean koontz is good, ive read quite a few of his books. midnight is great.

I recently finished PREY by Michael Crichton which I very much enjoyed. Right now I'm reading Force Heretic I from the NJO, but I don't like it that much.

Am currently reading the new book by Terry Pratchett - Night Watch. TP is brilliant and I have read ALL of his discworld novels.

next stop after CoS is some TP's stuff, highly recommended by a college friend, who I knew at school!

It's all brilliant, you can borrow mine if you want, although I only have his discworld books and nothing else he has done yet, must give them a go actually.

I've gone back and begun to reread the LOTR trilogy. I've forgotten most of the real stuff...

What a coinky-dink, To. We are reading 'Tom Sawyer' in literature class.

Wow Corran, my mom loves TP's Discworld stuff. She keeps trying to get me to read it but I just don't have the time. Mrs.MM read Morris and his Amazing Mice and said it was funny for a kids book.

At Xmas TP was doing a book signing in B'ham so Mrs.MM (who works in the city centre) went and bought his new book and got it signed for my mom.

He wrote in it, "Happy Hogwatch", a reference to the Hogfather I believe?

Dexx, is that related to the Dune series by any chance ?
If so, think I could borrow them too ?

Mech, that is so cool. Happy Hogwatch is indeed a reference to the hogfather, who is loosely based on Father Christmas but death takes the role, I cannot actually express how cool that is. I extend my offer of lending my books to you also, I could drop them off sometime when I am passing through. I got Morris and his Amazing Mice for my daughter to read and she thought is was great, I may read it myself.

I'm still reading "The Catcher in the Rye".

"The Grapes of Wrath" is next, followed by "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer".

After that, I think I might read "The Chronicles of Narnia". Anyone ever heard of these books?

I thought Tom Sawyer was a great book and i thought Catcher and the Rye was pretty good. I've also read Franny and Zoey by Salinger which was also pretty good.
One Flew Over teh Cuckoos nest was a great book
The Lion, the Witch ,and the Wardrobe was a great book
the next book i have to read is for one of my classes its called Ishmael, i've heard its a really good book by a lot of people. Then i'm gonna read Hell's Angels, its about the biker gang and its written by Hunter S. Thompson who wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Wow, I don't know if I could handle a Hunter S Thompson novel.

I've read the Chronicles of Narnia, To. It's been 4 years, but I remember most of it. The Last Battle (book 7) was the weirdest, and The Boy and His Horse (book 3) was the boringest, and The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe (book 2) was the best. 🙂

C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were friends, and both have written adventures involving magic, swords, war, and really detailed and confusing maps. 😄

I'm thinking about picking up the Dune books after I finish LOTR (read the Hobbit, reading FOTR, ending it with either ROTK or Silmarillion), and maybe read the Chronicles of Narnia again (it's been 4 years since I read them). My friend also suggests the Left Behind books.

But first I have to read the Adventures of Tom Sawyer for school and write two stupid essays on it. 😠

Ha! I bought that book for pleasure!

corran, have you read tp's Hogfather?

Yep, read em all.

my brothers got the Hogfather and I'm aiming to get around to reading it AT SOME POINT! 😆

If I were you I would read some of the earlier ones first. I know you are supposed to be able to read then in any order, but to get a better feel read the first 5 in order. Any involving Death are cool.
