What are you reading?

My apologies, having been searching the web it seems he claims that he agrees about 2+2 but then refutes it in the bar at the end.

[Guest Nicole]

In that case ignore my earlier recommendations of Battle Royale, One flew over the Cuckoo's nest, A brave new world and Lord of the Flies.

 

Read about 75% of Lord of the Flies, just thought it was a load of tosh :)

Oddly I havent read the full book, I went to watch it at the theatre instead and it rocked. Normally I do it the other way around.

[Guest Nicole]

I think it's definately a boys book. I sound like a real literature hater, but I do like some classic books. I really enjoyed Hard Times (Dickens) and North and South (Gaskell), especially the second because I hated the female lead, yet found the leading man brooding and sexy. Best bit of my literature course was possibly reading "The Great Gatsby". Now that is a brilliant work, chintzy and just wow. I loved it.

Just finished Long way round, Dark Rising: The rise of Darth Vader and the Torchwood novel Another life.

 

Think i'm going to start workng my way through the Star Wars Old Republic novels now.

[Guest Nicole]

Torchwood novels <3 Loved them. They are writing 8 more for the new series. Can't wait to get my grubby mitts on them.

[BRM]

I liked Another Life and Slow Decay

 

Buti thought Border Princess was a bit meh really, although it did sort of tell you how Jack came up with the name James Harper in the tv series.

Hey Nicole, have you read To Kill A Mocking Bird? I read it a couple of weeks ago and it was nothing like I expected it to be. Simple story but beautifully written, centered around childhood. Very nice book.

I read TKAMB for my class at school and really really liked it, suprisingly...

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

[Burakiosaurus]

[Guest alexmoss12]

i went into poundland in colchester and picked up the hulk hogan autobiography for yes you got it... A POUND!

[Guest Jung]

Was it in the non-fiction section?

[Naitch]

He got ripped off paying a pound for that.

[Guest alexmoss12]

a pound, in the cover it says 16 pounds so a saving is a saving because there is no way i would have paid 16 for it, it is interesting that hogan used to be really fat when he was younger though and how he worked with mike graham and such.
