Univerze Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I didn't plan on buying anymore books this month, but honestly, who can resist a book for 1,39 euro? Went to this discount store with mom and they usually don't have books, but not I walked out with three Jules Verne books (have been thinking about reading some of his work lately): Around the World in 80 Days (De Reis om de Wereld in 80 dagen), From the Earth to the Moon (Van de Aarde naar de Maan) and Around the Moon (De Reis om de Maan). All are Dutch paperbacks, since I don't read French that well, might as well read them in Dutch. English would be silly. Anyway, three books for 4,17, not bad ey? They didn't have much else though, too bad. Yeah some Poe stories books, but I have that already.
StephenKingman Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Well im at home sick with flu today so my book activity is restricted to browsing this forum so good thing i really enjoy it!
Kimmy619 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I have read a little bit of The Rum Diary by Hunter S Thompson.
Nollaig Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Went to Waterstones. They don't have Flowers For Algernon. They also don't stock Brom, and they have all of M. Crichton's books except the Jurassic Park ones. Is there some kind of law stating that Waterstones isn't allowed stock good books or something? It's rubbish. I hate Waterstones.
Lucybird Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Will they order them for you Noll? Am now about half way through Definitely Dead finding it a bit slower to get going than the others
Nicola Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Well im at home sick with flu today so my book activity is restricted to browsing this forum so good thing i really enjoy it! Hope you feel better soon StephenKingman Am now about half way through Definitely Dead finding it a bit slower to get going than the others I thought the first four books were great but from Dead to the World until Dead and Gone, I found the books to be much slower paced. When I think back to them the later books merge into one story and I can't distinguish one from the other. Dead and Gone returns to form though I've read the first chapter of The Virgin's Lover and I can already hooked. I've put it down so I can finish off a little bit of uni work or I'll never get it done! Eeeeeeek!
Kate Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I finished In The Heart of the Canyon by Elisabeth Hyde today. I really enjoyed it. I've now started Grave Secret by Charlaine Harris
lexiepiper Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I'm reading the final book in the Karen Rose trilogy Kill For Me.

When I think back to them the later books merge into one story and I can't distinguish one from the other. Dead and Gone returns to form though I have a theory on this, I think it's the lack of Eric as a love interest. After Dead To The World that's all you want to read about! Well ... it's only a theory

Well ... it's only a theory That makes sense I like Eric, and he hasn't been in Definitely Dead at al yet (although I think I spotted his name on the next page). Very little Alcide either, who is probably my favourite.

Very little Alcide either, who is probably my favourite. I knew it! I bet you're reading on to see if they pop up, I know I did I loved Alcide too, can't wait to see him in True Blood season 3
Lucybird Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Yes, they are what I look forward too! Even to the level of spotting the names on pages I'm not reading!
StephenKingman Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Hope you feel better soon StephenKingman Thanks Nicola, i am feeling a bit better now so i can dedicate a decent portion of tomorrow on my latest book Duma Key, and also browsing this forum!
AbielleRose Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I read another 18 pages of Flowers for Algernon this afternoon and am already needing to carry tissues with me because I know whats to come. Gosh I love this book!
Nollaig Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 *Still hating Waterstones for their lack of Algernon*
SFG75 Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 Last night-wrapped up Mrs. Dalloway, the last 45 pages. It was quite a slog, but it was the best part by far. Reading about Septimus's behavior made me want to reach out for the DSM.
AbielleRose Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 *Still hating Waterstones for their lack of Algernon* *Shock Gasp Horror* They don't have Algernon?
Kylie Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 I have read a little bit of The Rum Diary by Hunter S Thompson. How are you liking it Kimmy? I enjoyed it quite a lot. They don't have Flowers For Algernon.They also don't stock Brom, and they have all of M. Crichton's books except the Jurassic Park ones. Wow, that is pretty bad. Maybe they need to get you on board so you can get all the good books in. You'd be well qualified for the job! Thanks Nicola, i am feeling a bit better now so i can dedicate a decent portion of tomorrow on my latest book Duma Key, and also browsing this forum! Glad to hear you're feeling better. I received three books in the mail today: Sylvia Plath: The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath Tom Wolfe: The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test Jack Womack: Heathern

I'm glad I'm not the only one who reads on to see if Eric pops up too It's just no fun when the sun's up!
Shin Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Well no guessing I am still reading The Lovely bones...maybe my mojo is leaving me or that I am engrossed in my cross stitch project. I got 5 books today at the charity shop.
bethany725 Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Nice deal you got yourself there, Shin! I'm giving up (for the second time) on Kate Morton's The Forgotten Garden. This story just moves too slowly for me and it's difficult as a stop-start book since it switches from different perspectives of both characters AND time.. Too much confusion if you don't have large chunks of time to read, which I don't!
Rawr Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Just read another couple of chapters of Cabal by Clive Barker
Cookie Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 I read one of Poe's short stories and started The Pickwick Papers by Dickens. Not sure if I'm going to like it though as I gave up on it years ago and have recently decided to start reading it again.
StephenKingman Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 Well no guessing I am still reading The Lovely bones...maybe my mojo is leaving me or that I am engrossed in my cross stitch project. I got 5 books today at the charity shop.
Charm Posted February 24, 2010 Posted February 24, 2010 It's just no fun when the sun's up! True! Skip the boring daytime stuff, get to the night when Eric's up! Well no guessing I am still reading The Lovely bones...maybe my mojo is leaving me or that I am engrossed in my cross stitch project. . I hope it's the cross stitch and not the book that's draining your mojo, I bought The Lovely Bones in a charity shop yesterday Labyrinth - Kate Moss. I got this in a charity shop too before Christmas! In fact when I was trawling through the shops yesterday I saw loads of copies, hope that's not a bad sign Finished The Heretic's Daughter last night, not sure what to read next.
