What 📔book are you reading right now?

[Feanorian]

All I can really say to comment on the above posts is take a look to the left at my avatar....best flag ever.


Anyways, right now I am reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine. I just started but it is very short. I love how he pokes so many beautiful holes in the old English Constitution

 

[ely]

I'm reading "The Crystal Cave" by Mary Stewart. And I like it a lot

 

[Veramir]

Aside from the Sil, i am about to start reading 'The Great Gatsby' for my A Level English Lit class... from what i've heard i don't think i'm gonna enjoy it too much, but ah well, these things must be done huh! I bet it won't be as good as 'Frankenstein' which I studied last year for AS Level!
~V~

Maybe not 'as good as' ''Frankenstein'', but still...
Enjoy it (at least 'try to'-->it's not so bad...)

 

[Niniel]

I just finished Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix... just like half of the world I suppose.

 

[Boromir]

Well, I'm reading The Chronicles Of Narnia right now. It's awesome.

 

[Rhiannon]

Not the last time I checked And I see the flag fairly often...

We have the flag in Eliot's avatar - the St Andrew's Cross. And we also have the Lion Rampant. Originally the royal symbol, now adopted as an unofficial flag - yellow with red lion on it.

All right- now, does anyone know where I got the idea it was green?

I finished One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez while floating in an inner tube on the San Soloman Spring- a surreal experience- and I'm halfway through American Gods.

 

[Boromir]

Has anyone heard of The Thousand Orcs by R. A. Salvatore, I've got a article right here about it.

The star of The Dark Elf Trilogy, Drizzt Do-Urden is back in this latest tale scribed by none other than R. A. Salvator. The Thousand Orcs is the first installment in the new The Hunter's Blade trilogy, and as expected, it centers solely on this mean little elf. If you haven't had the chance to read The Dark Elf Trilogy yet, run out and do so immediately. It ranks right up there with The Lord Of The Rings as one of the best fantasy tales ever conceived, and this new chapter only expands upon its brilliance.

So what do you guys think about it, I think it could be good.

 

[Feanorian]

Upon completeing Common Sense and Civil Disobediences and other essays I have begun re-reading the Machiavelli books. Discourses, The Prince, and The Art of War.



Edit: I put discourses twice instead of The Art of War..haha

Sounds interesting... isn't that Drizzt, Dark Elf, connected with ''Baldur's Gate'' series? If the 'moods' of the games and books are the same (or similar), it could be great

 

[Boromir]

I've never played Buldur's Gate, so I dunno.

 

[Thorondor]

Since I haven't gotten around to getting cable installed in my new apartment, I am turning into a reading machine. Last week the first four Harry Potter books. Right now, East of Eden. Then The order of the Phoenix, after that probably the Sil. After that, probably something by Hemingway, or maybe To Kill A Mockingbird.

 

[Lantarion]

My original reading-plans were hindered by the arrival of the OotP. I devoured it in two days, then went on to read the rest of the series over again. I've read a book a day, and I've almost finished the GoF.
But then I have to finish the Silmarillion, and only then I can tackle the Kalevala.

 

[Wolfshead]

A list...

Recently finished - Enemy Of God by Bernard Cornwell.

Reading now - Lord Of Chaos by Robert Jordan, book 6 in The Wheel Of Time. I got fed up of waiting for it from the library, and besides, it got cancelled because I'd been waiting for over 6 months, so I bought it with some of the money I got for books from the school prizegiving - an advantage of being in a small school and being fairly intelligent - I get money for books every summer

Sitting in a pile to read in the near future after the 1000+ pages of LoC - A Game Of Thrones by George R R Martin, Polgara The Sorceress by David Eddings and Wolf In Shadow by David Gemmell.

 

[Boromir]

I just finished The Migician Nephew. now I'm reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

 

[Rhiannon]

(Ack, Boromir, not in that order!)

I'm almost finished with American Gods. I'm not sure what I'll read next.

 

[Captain]

I'm reading A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain.

 

[Boromir]

(Ack, Boromir, not in that order!)

Why not in that order? My brother said that that's the right order to read them in.

 

[Rhiannon]

Why not in that order? My brother said that that's the right order to read them in.

Chronologically by events, it is. But I object strongly to reading them out of publishing order, which would have The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe first, and The Magician's Nephew sixth. I maintain that they were written in the order they were intended to be read, so the new boxed editions numbered with Magician's Nephew as book one bug me to no end. *is insane picky biblionutcase person*

 

[Boromir]

I personally like to read books by the events. I would never read TTT first, and then read FOTR.


P. S. If I am bugging you by reading them out of order, than I'm sorry.
