Metal Reviews

Now that english is over, I've started P.S I love you by Cecelia Ahern as well as Trickster's Queen by Tamora Pierce.

Currently reading Spawn Vol.1

I have it. I'll be reading it next, after I finish A Feast For Crows.

Julian is a great book. I highly recommend it. I'm not sure about the overall historical accuracy though.

Is that all? My god, can't believe I've wasted this much time on them already...

NR: The Shadow Of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

What's the deal with people reading more than one book at a time? SRSLY

NR: The Shadow Of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.

great choice. that homeless guy rules.

I have to read Pride and Prejudice for a Lit. class. I've got about another 100 pages to go in it. It's not too bad, but definitely not something I would read on my own. Actually, that's true for most books I've read for school. Ones that I legitimately enjoyed would have been Brave New World and One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, but other than that, not really. I don't really hate books to often, so all I can usually come up with is mild distaste. Left Behind was ridiculously stupid. I have no idea why I even began to read it, because I'm pretty much predisposed to hate it.

I have to read about 5 books for school at the same time. Then if I have time, I also have a book for my own pleasure.

Awesome, and I think comics are gay. The Clown is teh evuhl!

He does indeed.

Titus Alone by Mervyn Peake.

Oh man, that book makes so little sense. Still very enjoyable though, in a perverse way.

Just finished the new Clive Barker Mister B. Gone. It sucked. Now on to Beowulf and some Voltaire.

Just Finished:

Stephen King - Insomnia; it was awful, one of king's worst books for sure, nothing much happens for over 200 pages wich is like half of the book and when it does is not that great.

Stephen King - Dreamcatcher; havent seen the movie but the book was decent, just like "IT" you get a group of childhood friends in a supernatural situation, not as good as "IT" though.

Now reading:

Seeing how much praise "The Pillars Of Earth" is getting here, i went to the bookstore to buy it, but it was sold out hopefully it will arrive next week, there were other Ken Follet books there so i would love to hear if anyone has read any other of his works.

Anyway i ended up buying "La ciudad y los perros" by Mario Vargas Llosa i think they named it "The Time Of The Hero" in english and actually its the second time i buy it, i lend my firts copy to a girlfriend years ago and she never returned it, so thats what im currently reading right now, its one of my favorite books ever, Vargas Llosa is such a fantastic writter his style may seem a little confusing at first jumping through different times or places without telling the reader and sometimes during conversations, but that gives the book a very unique feel, the epilogue was a big surprise for me when i first read it.

BTW my roomate is currently reading the "Artemis Fowl" book series by Eoin Colfer, he keeps telling me to read it, but im not sure, from what he tells me it looks like a b-grade harry potter or something like that, has anyone here has read the books? arre they any good?.

They're lying, of course. You'll also notice that aside from reading a ton of books, they're listening to music all the time, hnaging with friends, buying music, going to school, posting online 20 hours a day, and watching about 10 movies a week.

That's because Oprah made it here Book of the Month not too long ago. It shot to number one immediately. The books like twenty years old, right? That chick has powa!

Aside from World Without End, the quasi-Pillars sequel, his other books are more along the mystery/espionage/action kind of stories. Pillars and WWE are in left field. I've read Hammer of Eden, and it was a good read. Not really my style, though, but good. He's got a lot of fans, so I assume he generally writes some good tales.

And I think the Artemis Fowl series started before Harry Potter. Either way, same sort of young adult fantasy, from what I've been told. It's supposed to be good, quick reads.

So this is what Zad meant by you randomly calling people gay ( i know you said that comics were gay but you implied that i was also gay for reading them) or was that sarcasm? I can never tell most of the time since sarcasm never works on teh internetz.

Furthermore, how can a comic be a homosexual? And what's with calling people gay? Is this some latent homesexual desire you have recently discovered? It's ok to be gay. You can tell us...we won't judge you.

Just finished reading Emperor: The Gates of Rome. It took me a while to read, but I loved it. Fortunately I already have the rest of the Emperor books so I can start reading the next one immediately.

Auuuuugh... I hate those books so much. If you must read them, keep in mind that absolutely nothing in those books is true, and that Iggulden is so retarded that he even gets Roman naming conventions wrong. How it pisses me off when an author deliberately urinates all over history..

Re: Afro Lint: It is quite true. I work at a bookstore- we always carried about 2 or three copies of the Pillars of the Earth, and sold about 1 every two weeks or so. Now we have about 60, and sell 5-8 a day.

The Voice: Aww, I kind of liked Insomnia.
