so has anyone made it through Pirate Latitudes yet?

i'm interested in putting this on my xmas list

12/7/2009 9:53:51 AM

currently on this one...still. this will be my last WOT book for quite some time, if not eternity.

"i might go back and get back into that series at some point. I wasn't that into them after reading the first two books and knowing how long of a series it is I kinda put it on hold."

that's because they're bad books. i enjoyed the first two, but after that they went down hill. too much detail. jordan manages to turn a 300 page long story into 1000 pages for a 10+ book serious. if i read one more derivation of "nyneave pulls on her braids in thought" i will cut myself.

I reallyyyyyyy want to read:



Anyone have any good memoirs or crazy books to suggest?

12/9/2009 12:34:14 PM

just finished The Lovely Bones

I've started on The Glass House

12/9/2009 12:45:54 PM

The Lovely Bones is seriously one of the best books I've ever read

I'm interested to see what the movie's like.. but I know I'll cry like a bitch

LK - have you read her memoir?

12/9/2009 12:50:05 PM

nah I haven't. Lucky right? I'll prolly pick it up. I got a few here already that I've been meaning to read over the years...now that I got all this free time I've just been knocking the "neverending to do list in life" down one by one

12/9/2009 1:30:14 PM

yeah i'm re-reading Lovely Bones right now in preparation to see the movie in the next week or two. i'm gonna be dragging miska with me, so if anyone else wants to go let me know

alex robinson- box office poison

12/20/2009 4:53:37 PM

my standard winter time book every year

12/20/2009 5:34:01 PM

Not this exact translation, though...

I'm actually surprised by how relevant it still is... a satire of "books of chivalry" from that era translates very well to a satire of the fantasy genre today.

^^how is that? I read about it in a magazine and was kind of interested.

1/5/2010 8:15:24 PM

Finished The Lies of Locke Lamora yesterday. Good book. Not 5/5 but a fun read.

Onto Alice's Adventures in Wonderland tonight.

1/13/2010 8:01:35 AM

I'll be getting Game Change in the mail soon, so I'll begin reading that when it comes.

1/16/2010 9:38:00 PM

so...has anyone finished Pirate Latitudes yet? Is it good?

1/16/2010 9:59:20 PM

^ Finished it a couple days ago, definitely recommend it

i have never read dune. /hangs head
i'm about halfway through it, and it's amazing. ender's game/shadow are currently my favroite sci-fi, but i can tell dune will give ender a run for it's money by the end.

i didn't really like hyperion. that is more or less thanks to the way in which the story was told. we'll see how i like the sequel considering it's written in a more traditional sense.

I just bought this one tonight... anyone read it yet?

1/24/2010 8:33:20 PM

i've been doing a lot of guilty pleasure NY times best seller reading lately haha.

i just finished:

kinda cheesy, but the sad parts were well done, i think. obviously the book had a happy cheesy ending, though. really easy read.

and now i'm reading:
