What are you reading?

I love Making Money!

Capitalist!

I knew someone'd say something like this (not surprised it was you, Tony )

The Longest Day to prepare myself for my trip to Normandy

Yay, just finished Making Money.
Adora Belle doesn't really seem herself...It's like she suddenly turned nice after getting engaged or something. 0_0
I'd expect for her to be meaner and smarter.

Let's see if I can get another DW book today.
I'm going malling with friends this afternoon, and maybe I can go to a few bookshops. No one shop stocks the whole DW collection, so I have to visit several to find ones I haven't read.

Another annoying thing about the DW series is that it's so huge it intimidates would-be readers. My friends don't want to read it because they're afraid they'll get sucked in, just like the Bleach manga franchise with 50+ books.

Does this mean you finished The Eyre Affaire? For your "research" I recommend Saving Private Ryan... (it's not my type of movie, but you're the one who reads war stories in his spare-time ) And of course, it's soooo cliché...
No, but really, did you like the Eyre Affaire?

Interesting Times is, in my opinion, the best of the Rincewind books.

I'm reading And another thing with a french dust jacked slipped on so that it LOOKS like I'm preparing for my trip to Normandy

 

[michelanCello]

Maybe it's just me, but what is the title of the book again? :

 

[bikkit]

What book?

I'm reading And another thing with a french dust jacked slipped on so that it LOOKS like I'm preparing for my trip to Normandy

Is it any good? I'm not really an Eoin Colfer fan so I'm wary of reading it...

 

[bikkit]

Yeah, it is quite good. I don't like him either

 

[BatrickPatrick]

Is it based on things Douglas Adams wrote?

 

[bikkit]

yes. It uses the same characters, ect

 

[BatrickPatrick]

Yeah, I know it's a continuation of the Hitchhiker books...but is the actual plot based on an outline of something Adams was going to write or did someone else make it up? Maybe I should just google >.>

I'm reading 'Something Rotten', the fourth of the Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde. He really brings the story together in this one.

Too bad he didn't leave it by this one... you'll know what I mean as soon as you've finished it...

This isn't the first time I've read the series.

I liked Last Continent! It was very Narnia - that magical land where things just grew into what you needed was a bit like the end of Magician's Nephew.
I'm halfway done with IT right now.
