Alright, been a while since I posted in here. Finished a lot of books since I last posted, but I’ll stick to what I’ve finished recently.
I just finished the Narnia series (excluding The Magicians Nephew), which I thought was really good. I thought the parallels in it of Christianity and Islam were rather interesting. I looked that up on wikipedia, and of course there’s charges of “racism” about Lewis, which I thought was pretty typical of the politically correct
Just getting to work on a bunch of others. I’m continuing reading the Day of the Jackal, which is challenging but very well written. I’m trying to get into the Count of Monte Cristo, but finding it a little hard to get into. It’s bloody long as well, so that isn’t helping the motivation.
Oh… I tried to read The Fountainhead before… I enjoyed Anthem for the same reasons as you enjoy The Fountainhead, but it’s such an intimidating book. I think I got to chapter 4. I mean to pick it up again someday, as I own it.
Ah yes, Anthem was the first of her books I read, it was definitely a great book, short but sweet. While The Fountainhead is a bit more intimidating, once you just pick it up you’ll start reading. I read about 337 pages in 2 days about 10 days ago, just picked it up again today and finished it off and thought what took me so long!
I am reading the “Remember Me” Series by Christopher Pike again. Very good reading he puts dream related stuff in most of his books (or at least that of the paranormal) I also like Whisper of Death by him (my favorite book so far by pike)
Found an amazing buy-one-get-one deal at a local bookstore while out of town. I picked up The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics by Robert Oerter. I’ve yet to see how good it is.
I also picked up Nerds: Who They Are and Why We Need More of Them by David Anderegg. I’m a few chapters in and it’s both humorous and informative.
(I think that makes 5 books I’m currently reading )
“The Tao of pooh”. I love this book, I read it a few years ago, and this book was like an old friend. If you havnt read it I recomend it. It explains Taoisem using the charecters of Winni the Pooh.
I went to the library Thursday and picked up one of Stephen Gould’s books and Albert Camus’s The Plague. I already read The Stranger for school and enjoyed it; I was eager to read more of his work.
I a rereading Harry Potter. I believe I am on the fourth one. The only reason I am rereading it is because I’m waiting for this other book to get shipped to me(I had nothing else to read )! I have wait for TWO MONTHS! to read the 4th twilight book! I’M SO EXCITED!!!
Now, I’m reading the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov. It’s really interesting. I don’t like how it skips around so much, but I suppose he does have to cover 10,000 years in three books.
Gah, I’m jealous, Lil-P. I’ve got EWLD on hold, but the library hasn’t gotten it back yet . So for now, I’m stuck reading Inherit The Wind (Lawrence/Lee) and The Jungle (Upton Sinclair) for school.
I’m reading Breaking Dawn, the 4th and latest book of the Twilight series ^_______^
I don’t want to finish it too quickly, though! The series is too awesome, I hate anticipating for the next one, without a good book from Stephenie Meyer. D:
