Dimitra Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Right now I have Punk:the Whole Story in the middle. I want to read:Emma, Northanger Abbey and Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, 1984 by George Orwell, Peacefulness (Galini) by Elias Venezis and Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I also have a huge album about films, but i have no idea when I'll be able to all these! Any suggestions on which I should start with? Quote
Bemii Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 No suggestions, but I have been wanting to read 1984 for ages now! I can't seem to find it in any charity shops around here and I don't want to buy a new one. Anyway, the only one I have read out of those is Pride and Prejudice. It's a good book, I got into it straight away. I had to read it at school though for coursework so I might read it again once exams are over. Quote
Dimitra Posted June 4, 2009 Author Posted June 4, 2009 Hmmm, I haven't updated this thread for like ages now, so it'd be good to put some things in order.

Adam Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I see you have read/some still to be read Tennessee Williams plays there. I have read all of his works. They really are brilliant. I hope you enjoy them! Quote
Dimitra Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 I would have probably added more by Williams, but I couldn't find summaries that don't contain spoilers. Quote

Chrissy Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 I have read (and thoroughly recommend) the three Phillip Pullman books. They are just wonderful. I also read 'The Lord Of The Rings' trilogy many years ago. If you haven't already, I would suggest reading 'The Hobbit' before the trilogy, as it gives you a great introduction into that world and an insight into the character Gollum. Quote
Dimitra Posted December 4, 2009 Author Posted December 4, 2009 Well, I've seen the films, so I know what it is about, but I can always read Hobbit too. Quote
Chrissy Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 D'oh! I completely forgot about the films. In my defence I did read the books way, way, way before the films were made! God, I feel old. Quote
BookJumper Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Don't feel old, Chrissy I read LOTR way, way before the films came out, too. Then when they did come out I went to see them 5+ times each. Quote
