I'm in the middle of reading a book by Freud, Totem and Taboo. It's rather interesting, although I've been told to read it with a critical mind.

Rob The Badger · 09 Jan 2005, 14:52

I had the same experience with "Dreamcatcher"- it seemed endless and I really just couldn't get into it. But, having read nearly all of Stephen King's book I just couldn't give up on it. So, I borrowed the book on tape from the library and listened to it instead- it was much more tolerable that way. BTW, if you haven't read King's "Bag of Bones" or "Insomnia", do so immediately- both (particularly Bones) are the best thing he's written in 15 years.

I got that for Christmas!!!!!

Only £2.99 in the Works, but I don't have time to read it: exams

I started reading Ben Elton's Popcorn, but haven't finished it yet. Also Bridget Jones, Edge of Reason (still haven't got around to blacking out the part about my neighbouring city's football club!

) I haev hundreds of books, I can't get enough!!!!! Considering I'm quite narrowly focused in music tastes, I'm very eclectic where books are concerned: Stephen King, Crichton, Rowling, Philip Pullman, Orwell, the occassional script book (Frasier, Fr Ted, Blackadder, Vicar of Dibley), but my favourite book of all time has to be Lord of the Rings

I absolutely loved it!!!!!! I found the Fellowship really hard going, as I wanted to read it before I saw the movies, but found it really hard to picture the characters until I saw the cast, then it was easy. First half of Two Towers was hard, and I stopped reading it for a while, then I picked it up again, read the second half of the two Towers and the whole of Return of the King in 3 days!!!!!!!

I couldn't get away from it after that, I had to read it another 3 times before I could bring myself to read another book! I want to read it again sometime, but I'll have to wait until June when my A levels are finished

I just find it so fantastical and over the top and stunning!!!!! To me, Tolkien's kind of the Steinman of the literature world :)

Cathie · 10 Jan 2005, 22:40

"The Lovely Bones" Alice Sebold

Love reading but haven't really got time to at the moment cos of my A Levels

When I've got a lot on at school I tend to read books that are more easy going than this one, it's a bit much for me to be reading at the moment!

Chris · 10 Jan 2005, 22:54

Just read Terry pratchett Going postal which was great.

Also finished Michael Crichton's State of fear which was rally good and Jeffrey Archer's Sons of Fortune which was a good read.

I have also just finished a book by Somebody Egleton about an SIS agent called Peter Ashton. Apparently there are a whole series of these books. They are a bit like Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan novels but British. Made for a good read.

Tim · 11 Jan 2005, 20:10

Well... at work that i'm currently doing, i must read German. :S Not my best subject in school.

Gez · 17 Jan 2005, 00:30

..does Mayfair/Playboy count??

Gez · 17 Jan 2005, 00:49

....anybody read 'angels of Death'. Great book so far....awaiting the end if I can get over my double vision

Heli · 17 Jan 2005, 01:29

Started reading a book called "Lucas" today...it's rather good actually!

anette · 18 Jan 2005, 19:22

Currently I'm reading "To Hell and Back" by Meat Loaf - actually this is the first book I get round to read for very long time, because my work (and the internet

) do consume most of my time. When I attended school (long, long ago

) I liked reading Stephen King a lot and nowadays I sometimes read fanfiction about Star Trek, X-files, Stargate, Monk and some other series...

BTW, THAT would be a challenge - Meat Loaf related fanfiction

Anette

Tim · 19 Jan 2005, 21:04

heheh, Annete, know what you mean. It is a great book i think!!!

i'm reading some contracts about houses, phone, etc. Not nice, but learning a lot from it hahah.
