What Book Are You Reading? — Part II

I finished “2001: Space Odyssey” tonight, and I am also starting “2010: Odyssey Two.” I love Aurthur C. Clarke!

I’m totally making progress reading the B.O.M. I’m in 2 Nephi: 10. Already read 32 chapters. Now only… 13.8 books and… 207 chapters left to go… !

Needless to say, I won’t be done before I head out into the field.

I’m reading Orwell’s 1984 :colgate:

Oooh, that’s such an awesome book! :mrgreen:

Unfortunately, I’m not reading anything at the moment… except for all these books about Borderline Personality Disorder (I’m doing a project about it at school, and it’s project week right now >_<). I’m so bored with it already…

Hah, no one has posted here since me… :bored:

I’m reading one of the Dune books right now, but the problem is, it’s the second one (I think) - Dune: House Harkonnen. I haven’t read the first one… so I’m just wondering, if anyone has read the Dune books, is it necessary to read the first one before you read the second one?

Otherwise I guess I’ll go back to the library and borrow the first one instead.

The last book I’ve read was “The Conference of the Birds” by Farid Ud-din Attar.
Edition www.penguinclassics.com

white noise by don dedillo. funny book. very clever.

House Harkonnen is in this sort of “Prelude to Dune” set of novels, so they would prepare you well for Dune, I guess… I’m not sure, though - I haven’t read the prelude to Dune ones yet.

Your reply made me even more curious, Wnvoss, since I didn’t even know the books had prequels, so I went to the Wikipedia (I had no idea the Dune universe is so huge! :eek: ), and then to amazon to check the reviews… and now I think it seems weird to read it because first of all, people say it’s not as good as the other books, and it’s written after all the other books… :bored:

Luckily, I picked up another book at the library, I’ll read that one instead until I go back to the library check out the other Dune books. It’s “The Telling”, by Ursula K LeGuin (my favorite author). :content:

Im reading the narnia books

Or , i just finished em last night.
They are so brilliant :content:

Battle Royale by Koushun Takami.
Freeky good stuff.

Just finished Phillip Dick’s “Time Out of Joint”, Just started Discworld - love it already :content: , and also currently reading Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” book 5 - it’s quite ponderous :bored:.

I bought that book some time ago, but I have to finnish reading “Howl’s Moving Castle” first.

Ithaka - Adele Geras

Really good hehe :happy:

I’m reading “Animal Farm” by George Orwell. I normally don’t read books, but I have to read it in school.

Finished 2010: Odyssey Two last night.

Now I’m reading The Jesus Incident by the same guy who wrote Dune. It’s turning out pretty well (but then again, I’m only reading it while waiting for the 3rd Space Odyssey book).

:grin:

Currently reading “Sahara” by Clive Cussler.

Something about love. I can’t remember what it’s called right now. I’ll edit this tomorrow or something. :razz:

But it’s a good book. :smile:

I am about 30 pages away from finishing “The gunslinger part one of the Dark Tower series” By Stephen king.

Thank you for making me want to buy it Mohegan!

My Current list:

The Forensic Casebook
The Idiot’s Guide to Private Investigating
How to Write a Mystery Novel
Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie

Kenneth - tell me how Sahara turns out. I never finished it because I was like 12 when I tried reading it…

And in my opinion, Agatha Christie > Sir Arthur Conan Doyle so far, mostly because Conan Doyle’s short stories consist mostly of someone telling what happened and why they’re hiring a PI…
