RachelleVaughn Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I just finished a book called Dominant Dany Heatley about the hockey player. It was small, but I'll take whatever I can get when it comes to hockey!
Karsa Orlong Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I'm about halfway through Non-Stop by Brian Aldiss. It's pretty good. When I initially typed that first sentence it came out as "I'm about hlafway through Non-Strop by Brain Aldiss". I can see today is going to be a good day!
Abcinthia Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I've just started High Windows by Phillip Larkin. I haven't read a poetry collection in nearly 2 years, so I figured it was about time to get back into it. I'll have to find the poetry section in the library
Kylie Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I read a couple of chapters of Catch-22 and a bit more of Simon Pegg's autobiography. Still loving both!
pickle Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) I am still reading Kelly Armstrong's Industrial Magic (which is a reread as I now own it) and finished a few over the weekend) I will update my list beofre it becomes too many again. Edited January 30, 2012 by pickle
frankie Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Still reading Green River, Running Red. It's going great, but it's just such a long book that it's taking me ages and I'd really love to read a fictional novel already!
lauraloves Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I finished Things I Want My Daughters to Know by Elizabeth Noble and I started The Love Trainer by Julia Llewellyn. I got Mistress Marshams Repose in the post today too.
Tiger Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Mum and I bought a shared copy of Others by James Herbert. I've got the first read, and so far it's amazing!
bobblybear Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I'm about 30% through The Penal Colony by Richard Herley, and really enjoying it so far. It's a Kindle freebie.
pipread Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I'm about 30% through The Penal Colony by Richard Herley, and really enjoying it so far. It's a Kindle freebie. I just finished The Penal Colony this morning, really enjoyed it too. Now I'm reading The Final Murder ~ Anne Holt, I'm a quarter of the way through and enjoying it.
Abcinthia Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I'm about half way through State of Fear. I'm going to the library tomorrow so I'll get some more books to read.
Angury Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I just finished reading To Kill A Mockingbird and A Clockwork Orange. To Kill A Mockingbird was a lovely book, I loved the way we got to see racial injustice from a child's perspective; it definitely added humour to some of the chapters. I'm still not sure about A Clockwork Orange at the moment. I started reading it after learning about aversion therapy in my Psychology class, and I'll admit that the book certainly made me think about free will. It also wasn't as hard to understand the language nadsat as I thought it would be, but it did make the book more interesting to read. I've just started Lord of the Flies by William Golding. It's read by students in my school for GCSE English Literature so I've heard a lot of grumbling over it, but I'm going to delve right in with an open mind.
Abcinthia Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I really enjoyed To Kill A Mockingbird and Lord Of The Flies. A Clockwork Orange is one of my favourite books. I also read it after learning about aversion therapy in Psychology. I also read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest after studying about institutions in Psychology.
The Good Citizen Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I really enjoyed To Kill A Mockingbird and Lord Of The Flies. A Clockwork Orange is one of my favourite books. I also read it after learning about aversion therapy in Psychology. I also read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest after studying about institutions in Psychology. A Clockwork Orange is a great novel although it takes a few pages to get to grips with the language, the film is a classic as well! After many years of suffering CBeebies I find it good aversion therapy to having more kids! Edited January 31, 2012 by The Good Citizen
Kylie Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 After many years of suffering CBeebies I find it good aversion therapy to having more kids! Hahaha.
