Lucky Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 The Time Traveler's Wife. I never got around to it when first released ... now that it's been released as a film, I'm reading it. A great book, that is actually about time travel, I was surprised to learn. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 The Lost Symbol -- Dan Brown. It was very good. Don't know how much of it is true (though isn't most of the stuff in his books supposed to be true?), but I read it in one day.

But it is okay farin i will borro it of my mate no, don't worry about it. I was just surprised because that's the book/film it seems everybody knows of him, you know? it's always the association "Dan Brown? oh that daVinci code guy" that doesn't mean that it's the best of his books really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Foundation by Isaac Asimov. 10/10. Possibly the best sci-fi I've ever read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTurtle Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Just finished reading Dune for the fifth time. . . still my favorite book! Seems like every time I read it I get something new out of it. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Foundation by Isaac Asimov. 10/10. Possibly the best sci-fi I've ever read. I love Asimov Tim. I don't remember if I read that one but when I was a teen, Asimov was my all time favorite author. Ray Bradbury was/is right up there to I just finished the newest addition to The Wheel of Time series. Awesome ! Robert Jordon the original author, passed away but left notes for the last book in the series. His wife/ editor had Brandon Sanderson finish the series. She couldn't have chosen a better author even tho I was totally unfamiliar with him. He last book turned out to be three and I can't wait for the last two. You can't even tell it is being finished by someone else. As with most series be it TV or books they can get a bit stale. Brandon Sanderson seems to have breathed new life into the series without ruining or taking over the original feel of the plot line and feel of the characters. He has done an awesome job. I guess he has been a Wheel of Time fan since he was a teen and has read the books many, many times. Two thumbs up for Mr. Jordon's widow for choosing such an outstanding fill in for him. May he rest in peace. !0/10 for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edna Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 After reaidng some three or four short books of Amélie Nothomb and not being quite satisfied, I'm reading a novel by Daniel Pennac, the past Nobel Prize... I wonder if I'll like it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 If you don't like it, edna, then I'll wonder why Pennac received a Nobel. Kinda like... okay, I'll shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Because the guys from the Nobel Awards didn't ask me... had they done it I would have said Jorge Luis Borges and Albert Cohen, both posthumous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far it is up to par with the other books in this series Good thing I'm listen and not reading or I'd be getting nothing else done I love Dexter Forgot to rate it after I finished it 5/5. It kinda went down hill. Thats why it got a soso rating. To much talk and not enough action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 I just finished "Push" by Sapphire. It's the book that the movie "Precious" is based on. 9/10. Very heartbreaking, eye-opening, and engaging. I read 3/4 of it in one sitting. Granted, it has less than 200 pages, but still, that's how engaging it was.

Shawna Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 crikey, I'm still creeping my way through "Lady Chatterley." My, my, but there's some colorful language in that book! It's very up-front about talking about the "c" word, and tosses around the "f" word toward the middle of the book... but when it comes to describing the Big O, it gets very delicate, and mutters something to the effect of, "When Mellors reached his crisis," etc. as if that's the more offensive word.

Shawna Posted March 5, 2010 Report Share Posted March 5, 2010 Finally finished "Chatterley" a couple of days ago. Not a fan of the ending. I guess I'm just not literati enough to get it. *sigh* On to Jane Eyre now. First couple of chapters are fairly shocking. As much as I've heard about this character, I never knew she was an abused orphan. Sheesh. But I just love the flowery writing style of Charlotte Bronte.
