What Book Are You Reading? - Part VI

I’m reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in school. It’s interesting, because a few years ago when I went to my grandparents’ house, we visited Hannibal, where Mark Twain grew up. Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn are both based in that town. Like, the caves that are so prominent in Tom Sawyer are real caves, and we explored them. While we were there.

Anyway, after exploring the area that inspired Huckleberry Finn before I read it, it’s interesting reading the book now and remembering. It brings back memories of the caves and the town.

Wow, that’s pretty awesome that you got to visit the place where the book is based. I read it myself for a university course on American literature a month ago or so. I’d love to go to the US and explore quite a few areas. Unfortunately that won’t really be possibly for me (money, blergh). But glad you got to enjoy it :happy:

I am reading the Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud.

The first section was pretty hard to get through as he was laying out (and to some extent debunking) a lot of theories that were around before his book. Most of those theories are no longer prevalent and many of the things Freud talks about in his book have become accepted now. So it all seems a bit obvious from the point of view of someone reading the book in 2008. I just have to keep reminding myself he wrote the book in 1900.

But the rest of the book has been really interesting so far, the actual analysis of dreams is really cool.

Star Wars: Darth Bane: Rule of Two. Sith lords ftw! I can feel the power emanating from the pages.

Me too but for me it’s the first time :wink: I bought it since I heard many good things about it and when I started reading it the other day I didn’t find it so interesting but when I had read some more pages(“chapters” perhaps) I started to like it and now I enjoy it.

I think I started to like it at the moment they adopted the direwolves

Reading Sartre

Dracula By Bram Stoker
Warbreaker By Brandon Stocker

Im going to get myself The new Trudi Canavan Books ASAP (no i wnat get 'em for christmas … i know that . :cool: )
@Magnus I read many good critiques on several Forums and the sample i read was not bad …

The Magic Thief: Sarah Prineas
It is really good for LD’s because a Thief learns to use magic and becomes a wizards apprentice and after a while it gives me ideas on how to use magic in a LD.

Well,i’m going to start this book soon…when i’m bored.
It’s called “Greseala Vraciului” or “The Bane’s Mistake” in english :tongue:
It’s written by Joseph Delaney and is the fifth in it’s series of phantasy books.
It’s a really cool book.

I just finished reading “The Shack”

theshackbook.com/

Its about a man who goes to the shack where his daughter was murdered a few years earlier and he went back because he recieved a note saying to come, and it was signed from “Papa”, which is what his wife called God. At the shack, he meets God and spends the weekend with them.

It was a good book. Even though I don’t really follow any religon.

The Monkey Wrench Gang, by Edward Abbey,
A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess, and
The Dying Earth, by Jack Vance.

I’m almost done reading this book. I received it as a gift after I told a relative about a dream I had involving a cabin. It has thus far made me cry and laugh and reflect. There are some points where I’ve had to go back and reread a paragraph.

Yeah, the book made me cry at certain points. Mostly when they involved Missy.
It’s a great book. One that I would re-read.

I started a book by Richard Laymon. It’s called “BEWARE!”

Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming - by Stephen LaBerge
Web Database Applications with PHP and MySQL - Hugh E. Williams & David Lane

… I am not a nerd for reading that… :anx:

You are an intellectual, fine sir! Just like I am not a Conservative toff!

I kid really :content: I’ll probably have to be reading something similar for my A levels…

Recently my cousin lent me The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, and just like any other piece of work by him (The Sandman series especially. Very surreal and incredibly well written) it is absolutely amazing. Such a great writer :grin:

Game of Thrones, if incomplete, is still the most awesome fantasy I’ve read. If you want non-fantasy fiction, I just read The Godfather a little while back and it was way better than I had anticipated. I highly recommend it!

im reading warriors: rising storm

I just finished the book “The Outsiders” and soon, I’m moving on to the book “The Alchemyst” which is about “the immortal” Nicholas Flammel or something…

I stopped halfway through the Warriors series, since I’ve been busy and unable…

I also stopped halfway through the book “The Dragon of Greywood” which was written by my best friend’s aunt… good book!

This is a difficult question, as I’m sort of in the midst of quite a few lately. Somehow I just can’t seem to pick a book. But I can’t turn down an opportunity to talk about books. :tongue:

I’m mostly reading “The Princess Bride” (which is my favorite book ever,) but I’m also in the midst of Stephen King’s Night Shift which I misplaced, and then started Dracula, which I quit when I got the Princess Bride for Christmas. :ack:

I’ll finish them all eventually…
