What are you reading?

[chris.ph]

i cant see a problem with that lady v compared to the dross i wade my way thru its quite high brow

 

[Lady Vetinari]

bikkit - I've been reading nothing but Terry Pratchett for the past month - soo - I think another author deserves a chance, and I happen to like romance thriller type things - so theoretically my soul is jailed.

chris.ph - cool, so you've read them?

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Please don't hate me folks but ...

I am actually going to start TWILIGHT by Stephanie Meyer tonight...

Seriously looking forward to the new film, never read the books but do like the films same goes for the HP ones.

 

[Lady Vetinari]

I haven't seen the film - I want to read the book first as I do want to see it.

 

[Phoenix]

I got distracted by Wicked, so now I'm attempting to read that, Making Money and listening to The Two Towers I anticipate brain ache

I've avoided the Twilight saga so far, romantic interaction between vampires and humans has started to annoy me- it can never really have a satisfactory ending- either one/both dies (completely, rather than undies); the vampire has to watch the human grow old and die; or the human is turned and has to abandon everyone who ever loved them, or watch them grow old and die. Gosh, I'm cheerful tonight This is why I like my vampires slightly more evil :twisted:

 

[Lady Vetinari]

Well I never could get into Buffy I must admit.
At least the heroine in this is intelligent, not overly pretty and puts the arrogant vampire in his place.
And I love the name of the hero ... Edward is one of my favourite boys names and her name is Bella - Isabella full name and that is the spanish for my real name ... so thumbs up.

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

Listening to the Last Continent unabridged version.

Aside from textbooks, I'm reading "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole, right now. I'm only about halfway through, but it's really funny so far.

 

[chris.ph]

chris.ph - cool, so you've read them?

yes ive got them i havent read them yet tho

 

[Lady Vetinari]

I'm enjoying it so far. The hero's adopted mother is called Esme ! And a teacher at the school they go to is named Mrs Goff ... I had a teacher called that at my school ... !

 

[Ponder Stibbons]

I'm reading Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony. The arty series are my second favourite, next to TP of course. I like Eoin(pronounced Owen, is he welsh?) Colfer's 'Wish list' as well. For some reason, it reminds me of "good omens".

 

[Lady Vetinari]

Ponder I think he's Irish.
Reading Last Chance To See so I don't get too caught in any fantasy world.

He certainly is Irish.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

For the second (and still funny!) time......

The Brightonocomicon by Robert Rankin.

Failing that, I'll watch Ronnie Corbett Uncutt on the tellyvison.

 

[Lady Vetinari]

Finished the first chapter of Last Chance To See ... Poor old Stephen!!!!

[Lady Vetinari]

[Phoenix]

I've now moved onto Jingo And still listening to LOTR The Two Towers Will hopefully have some new books/authors to explore soon as my birthday/Christmas is near and when asked what I want as a present, I ask people to find me new things to read. The internet is a marvelous thing, but it doesn't compare to browsing in a book shop
