Books

This probably wont be too popular but I know some on here like their reading, so why noy have a thread to discuss literature.

I started reading a book two months ago. I'm on page 50.

I don't read much but had to read Tomorrow When The War Began for school. Finished it early got me interested and I loved it. Thinking of getting the rest of the tomorrow series.

I've been reading graphic novels lately, because for the past 7 years I've been forced to real boring school books, and graphic novels have pictures in em' throwback to the 90s son.

Im reading Catcher in the Rye now, quite good, but I dont get the massive hype about it

I'll be frequenting this thread.

I just read Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. Awesome.

Tale of Two Cities.

Watching the T.V./movie version of Bleak House. I have to say it's quite enthralling.

I never read anything I can't learn from, find it a waste of time. IE no fiction books. I only have political, historical and books like Collapse and Guns, Germs and Steel in my bookshelf.

I'm the opposite, don't read much non-fiction. I rely on articles and video for most of that. And the fiction I read is mostly science fiction and fantasy.

Reading Evelina ATM for school, and a German novel called The Swarm for leisure.

started reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but got lost and bored in all the corporate slang

last book I read was mid last year - the curious incident of the dog in the night time - was pretty funny..the book actually made me lol.

Clever people thread?

im only read books like Jenson Button autobiography and karl pilkington diary when he was doing an idiot abroad

Animal Farm.

Ally McCoist's Autobiography = 10/10.

Haven't read that yet. Putting off watching the movie until I do.

Reading Frankenstein ATM, still haven't finished The Swarm.

You haven't read it before? It's really short - less than 150 pages.

It's by George Orwell right? I read 1987 or whatever that book is called where the future is all controlled by the government for school.

I've never even seen the book before tbh. It wasn't assigned reading in school, so I just never got around to it.

Yeah, I've read that before. I couldn't really get into it that well, I mean it didn't really come across as something that should be considered a classic in my view.

got assigned that at school and went on to finish the whole series (10 in total) in my latter high school years.

It's an Aussie book - the Author once came to my College

been made into a movie as well although apparently it's not too good.

would recommend it to any teenager or young adult

Yea it's a good book, I releate to Holden so much, but there's a severe lack of a plot

Just read that because of you and its fantastic so good call there

I want to read 1986, never got around to it.

Highly recommend "The Last Werewolf."

I seriously need to start reading books again, not read in ages.
