[Jane Austen Book Group - Pride and Prejudice]

Thanks for the responses, Willoyd and Vodkafan. I wasn't able to start reading today, but I'm positive I'll begin tomorrow.

[Recommend books that blew you away!]

I would definitely recommend the following:

 

Little Lord Fauntleroy by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Sail by James Patterson

Swimsuit by James Patterson

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon

A Kestrel For A Knave by Barry Hines

[Jane Austen Book Group - Pride and Prejudice]

Thanks for the responses, everyone.

 

I'll definitely check out the Austen Book Group, thanks for the link. I will be starting Pride and Prejudice after dinner tonight.

[What Was The Last Music You Bought?]

I generally don't buy CDs or records one at a time; I usually buy eight or nine. With that in mind, I bought much less than my average this week. I bought:

 

Slowhand by Eric Clapton (Vinyl, £3)

Doremi Fasol Latido by Hawkwind (Vinyl, £3)

Comeblack by Scorpions (CD, £8)

Asia by Asia (Vinyl, £2.50)

Live From Beyond Hell Above Heaven by Volbeat (Limited Edition Vinyl, £30)

 

I'll have enough music to satisfy me for a few weeks with that lot, though.

Hi everyone.

 

I'm planning to start reading some Jane Austen today, after I've cleaned up a bit. I was planning to start with Pride and Prejudice, but a friend of mine says it's one of her more difficult books. Is it a good choice for my first Austen book, or is there another that would be easier?

 

Thanks in advance.

[Do you read faster on a kindle and other such devices?]

I've read one book on my mother's Kindle, and I found I read it faster than I read the book in paperback format. However, I read even faster on my DS than on the Kindle, getting through multiple books a day. I've found this is because you can see the total number of pages at the bottom of each page, which always makes me think 'Oh, hey, I've only got 600 pages left, that shouldn't take me too long'.

[Your Book Activity Jan 2013]

Hey everyone!

 

I've read a fair few books this year, due to my purchase of '100 Classic Book Collection' for Nintendo DS during December. Since New Year's, I've read:

 

Little Lord Fauntleroy by Frances Hodgson Burnett

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll

The Adventures of Pinnochio by Carlo Collodi

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas

The Call of the Wild by Jack London

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde by Robert Lewis Stevenson

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain

 

I'm currently reading Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne, but I'm almost finished. I'll likely read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen after Eighty Days.

[Hi everyone!]

Hey, everyone.

 

I'm DJMonty. I'm a 14 year old boy living in England. My hobbies (besides reading) include learning languages and playing video games. I enjoy reading just about everything, from post-apocalyptic fantasy to crime/legal thrillers, and everything in between. I'm currently reading The Time Machine by H. G. Wells, and I'm loving it.

 

I look forward to meeting you all!
