What are you reading?

[Mr. Bungle]

Wait a minute, I heard The Stand was one of the best books ever. Have I been mislead? I kinda wanted to read it.

[OANST]

It's a piece of shit.

But not as bad as The Dark Tower.

[Wings of Fire]

I really really liked it until the main character died, then it sort of turned shit.

[OANST]

M O O N SPELLS STUPID!

[Mr. Bungle]

Okay. How about It? I've got that lying around.

I just don't wanna invest a lot of time in a shitty book.

IT is pretty good until it's stupid ending.

Are we seeing a pattern here?

Still, though. IT is miles above both The Stand, and The Dark Tower.

I have to read War on the Western Front in English.

By which I mean I'm going to leave it sitting on my floor for another few weeks then freak out when it comes to writing about it.

[enchilado]

I'm reading The Wind in the Willows.

[Mudokon_Master]

I've started reading Raymond E Feist's books. Unless it's medieval fantasy, I can't bring myself to read it.

[AlexFili]

Steven King's stories seem decent. I guess they start strong and end weak. Like a lot of famous stories.

[STM]

Still need to finish Lord of the Rings I. For some reason I can't be arsed to pick up my Kindle and read it...even though I really want to, which makes no sense at all.

[MA]

as much as i like Lord Of The Rings, i really struggled to read it. at first i'd think "yeah, lets read LOTR, i wonder what crazy shit will happen next!" then i'd think "oh, hang on, the incredibly difficult to understand writing. i forgot about that." then i'd force myself to read it. don't get me wrong, i enjoyed it and think it's a great story, but at times i felt like i was reading a thesaurus. an interesting thesaurus.

oh i don't fucking know what i'm trying to say. it was good but i'm stupid is probably a better explanation.

[shaman]

Mein Kampf.

Yep.

It's actually quite badly written, lots of repitition and dancing around the same point. I think the final verdict will be that it's a load of fucking rubbish but it's still an interesting book.

[STM]

Mein Kampf is actually written very shittily, and Hitler made tonnes of spelling mistakes. Can't say I'm particularly interested in reading beyond the extracts from my old German history text books.

[sheridanm962]

I just read my failure, It's aboot a guy named Sheridan who can't fit in and no one will give him a simple straight answer or guide (like a book) as to get a good reputation or how to get into an "odd" sense of humour.

It's a fucking brilliant book, It was written by a place called OWF, I can't remember what it stands for but I want to join the place and see what it's about, maybe someone can help me clear this up.

Chapter 1: Whining about problems you've made for yourself

[STM]

Chapter 2: Spamming up other threads with your irrelevant bullshittery.

I've helped you via PM and on the forum, so has T-Nex, so has half the rest of the forum. If you haven't learn't by now you need to observe rather than post...for as long as possible.

[shaman]

I am currently reading "Word Bearers, The Omnibus" A collective of three books, it's very good, I love villans, I love evil characters. It's the only time when the critique on the back was right, I do feel swept from bloody scene to the next. Not too well written, but then i've never read a warhammer novel which I would describe as "well written"

[Strike Witch]

Just avoid CS Goto!

[MeechMunchie]

Still reading Etymologicon. Today I learned that the tune of 'Star Spangled Banner' is taken from an bawdy English drinking song, and that the largest contributor to the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was a criminally insane nymphomaniac who died shortly after cutting off his own penis.
