Or do people even read books anymore?

Right now, I'm greatly enjoying Haunted by Chuck Phalahniuk.

[eyezik]

Ive been reading Poisonwood Bible. Its pretty good.

[log1c]

"The Towers of the Sunset" by L.E. Modesitt, Jr. It is kind of boring so far, to be honest.

The Fall - Camus
The Once and Future King - TH White

an internet forum.....that's about as much reading as I do.

I don't really read fiction, and very few books these days. I just don't have the time! My big indulgence is that I just started playing The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, which will take up more time that I can really spare. In fact I doubt I'll ever finish it. I never finished Morrowind. That's mainly because I got stuck in a quest and refused to cheat and look up the answer online...

I hate fiction, I rarely read it. The book that I know inside and out is my Haynes manaul. The other books I'm currently reading are all school books. 3 seperate books for History, plus 2 more for this paper that's due soon, 2 for psyc, 1 for art(I haven't even opened it), and two for Fire Tech.

Basically, it's something like 10million pages of information I need to know buy the end of the semester.

i'm reading "a bright red scream" by marilee strong. psychology book on cutters. i'm reading it for fun. i'm also reading "in cold blood" by capote and "thank you for smoking". i tend to have a lot of books started at once. it's so nice to be out of school and have time for reading.

I've been reading "the zombie survival guide" along with the resident evil novels.

Damn, zombies and and a post-apocolyptic/apocolyptic world are my cup of tea

I'm going through a Steinbeck thing right now. I finished Of Mice and Men and am now about halfway done with The Grapes of Wrath. Awesome Great Depression books.

I've read Fight Club and Choke. Both great. Then I started Survivor but his style just got redundant so I never finished it.

I have that sitting in my stack of books from when I tried reading it a couple of years ago. I got to about the 3rd of 4th chapter and was just completely lost. It's a goal of mine to be able to actually finish it and understand it.

I plan on reading some Capote next. This girl I work with told me about some of his stuff and it sparked my interest.

yea, i've read both, as well as 'the atrocity archive.' i'm really enjoying this book.

[mistawiskas]

I admire those that can sit still long enough to finish a novel. i've always had to be 'doing' something. When I was younger, it was clay sculpting, model building, and pen/pencil drawings. Now it's structural design, building
stuff, gaming and beating the snot out of my keyboard in my chicken-pecking manner.

hey brent, check out Jesus Freaks by Andre Duza

it's pretty good. one of my friends did the artwork for it. good dark zombie humor.


At the moment I am reading "the Illuminatus Trilogy" it's awesome and off the wall, a bit like hitchhikers guide...but with more raunchy sex.

before that is was The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlin, and Brave New World by Huxley
