Re: What Book Are You Reading Now? Mk IIAhh, AWESOME series! My favourite was Catching Fire; I can't wait for the film! Though I'm not all that impressed with the casting so far :/(Original post by duckjustice)
The Hunger Games - Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Started reading the first one about three days ago when I was bored, then got all addicted and had to lend the next 2.
Not as into it now I've spoilt the ending for myself.
I wasn't a huge fan of Mockingjay tbh, but it was still a great book; hope you enjoy it despite spoiling the end :P -

The Algebraist - Iain M. Banks
Received it as a gift on my 14th birthday and couldn't comprehend it at all; returning to it four years later, I'm very much enjoying it.
Although prior to starting the book, I was drafting a short story involving a galactic organisation preventing the creation of (and destroying existing) artificially intelligent machines, before discovering that this was pretty much the backdrop for Banks' novel.

Re: What Book Are You Reading Now? Mk III hadn't realised there was a film until someone mentioned it this morning! But IMDB'ing it, they don't look how I imagined much. Most of the main characters not at all.(Original post by azurefalls)

Only have until Friday to read it before I have to give it back. And so much stuff to do! Oh dear. -
Re: What Book Are You Reading Now? Mk IIAck, I know, right? Having seen the magazine release images, Katniss did look a little more the part after having been through hair and make-up and so on, but idk, she still just isn't really the Katniss I imagined. And NONE of the other characters look how I imagined. :/ Eh, I guess that's just what happens when books go visual. :P I just hope they don't try to make it too... relatable. D;(Original post by duckjustice)

Re: What Book Are You Reading Now? Mk III haven't read the Liveship ones(Original post by kurovalte)
I'm actually half way through 'The Ship of Destiny' , third book of the Liveship Traders and its actually amazing.
Only the two Farseer series, and I know that means I've read them out of order! But I intend to get those next time I order some new books

Re: What Book Are You Reading Now? Mk IIi've read this! i love it(Original post by azurefalls)
Currently reading A Million Little Pieces by James Frey. The narration can be a little repetitive, but it's a good read!
i know what you mean about the repetition. though isn't it supposed to be like tht?

Interesting how the previous thread on this topic started on 2nd June 2005 and ended a week earlier six years later. I thought these threads could last forever; I never realised that there was a limit on posts and pages (10,000 posts and 500 pages)
Currently reading a book on the Weimar Republic for one of my History modules by someone called Eberhard Kolb.Last edited by Zoltan250; 03-06-2011 at 00:38. -
Re: What Book Are You Reading Now? Mk II
Finished "George Orwell - Homage to Catalonia" two days ago
Very good book which i would recommend. Whether you are interested in the Spanish civil war or not, i think you would find it an interesting and enjoyable read.
Haven't started reading a new book yet though but i shall when i am back home in about a week and a half
Haven't decided what to read yet >_>
(I know I can read both but I don't know which I should start with...)
