chrysalis_stage Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Read about 120 pages of The Road by Cormac McCarthy over the last couple of days and only have about 100 pages left. Am starting to get more and more into this book and am beginning to enjoy it at last. Shame there is so little left to read now though. It took me a while to get into it too, but once in it was great. It ended as I was starting to really enjoy it... in the way you enjoy that sort of book. Bought a brand new copy of Handling The Dead by John Ajvide Lindqvist on local book stall for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Univerze Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Picked up two books from the university library today, "Planetary Sciences", and can't remember the other title, but about black holes and stellar evolution. Good reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brida Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Read some more of Kafka, and a couple of chapters of Shouting down the moon. I'm hoping the second one will be getting more interesting soon. Although, the style is typical of L.Tucker and that is a good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeeeve Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Just finished Foundation and Earth by Isaac Asimov. I thought there was one more in the series (not including the prequels) but I was wrong. I can't believe he let it end that way!!!!!!!!!!! Such a cliffhanger. Ach. Asimov you git. I went to look on amazon for more sequels and the kindly website had recommended a book about Chris Morris to me. I'm not usually a fan of unauthorised biographies and such but...Chris Morris! It has been added to my wishlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookThane1590 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I pretty much just started "The Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown (almost 30 pages in), and I'm surprised, frustrated and kind of annoyed by how slow it is! I wasn't expecting that at all. I've heard such good things about it, and I may end up loving the book, but the beginning ... AARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!

tunn300 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I read about 30 pages of The Best a Man Can Get yesterday evening. I can't decide if I may have already read this book before. I thought the only O'farrell book I had previously read was This Is Your Life but the plot of this just seems so familiar. It is quite worrying when you can't remember if yo have read a book or not. Am going to continue reading it for now, until hopefully I can decide either way if I have read it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthien Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Just finished the first chapter of "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", which I am reading with a reading circle of a German forum. Though I probably don't belong to the age group the books were written for I still love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Have you read all of the Harry Potter series before, Luthien? Or is this your first time? There are loads of adults here who love Harry Potter (including me!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love children's books! Roald Dahl and CS Lewis write great children's books. I'm listening to Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett (a bit out of order I know!)

Karsa Orlong Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Finished George RR Martin's A Storm of Swords 2: Blood & Gold. Thought it was absolutely brilliant and the ending was magnificent - talk about leaving you wanting more! Makes me want to start the next one straight away but I've read two of his books on the trot so am going to read something different for a while, just haven't decided what as yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't expecting that at all. I've heard such good things about it, and I may end up loving the book, but the beginning ... AARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!! I never got further than say, 100 pages. I hated almost every page of it. Boring, annoying and just not interesting me at all. I too, had heard good things about it, people couldn't put it down etc.. well not me.

Stephanie2008 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Last Night I finished the Best of Times by Penny Vincenzi (which was a mammoth book at 880 pages!). I plan to have Cell by Stephen King finished this weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooshie Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 200 pages into The Crimson Petal and the White. I am having a run of reading long books just now; The Gate House was about 670 pages long, TCPatW is about 800 I think, The Stand (next on my list) is over 1000, and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest (hoping to read in the next few weeks) is about 650.
