My little brother still knows it by heart ^_^ "and he had a tummyache!'' Someone said storm of swords earlier. The whole quartet that that's in is absolutely great. Amazing characters, plot twists and scenes. | ||

by Robert A. Heinlein. It's really a book for junior highschool kids, but it's an interesting read because Heinlein was just that good of a writer... before he went totally insane in the 1960's. Other books read (or re-read) recently: Starship Toopers - Heinlein Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams Whats Wrong With The World - G.K Chesterton The Quiet Light - Louis De Wohl and for history buffs Our Oriental Heritage - Will Durant | ||

Just not sure if i can read it in 2 weeks, or want to keep it, in which case i'll buy it. You'd finish it in 3 days. It's so addictive that you can't stop reading it. | ||

You're right If tl.net had a spellcheck function I would so use it. Besides the fact that english isn't my native language. And ihatett is right, actually, he could have a sentence of an infinite amount of words (or as long as tl.net allows), and the chance would go to 1 to (infinity-1) which is taken as infinity. And 1 over infinity is an indeterminate form :[ | ||

Hiroshima by Hersey is a really interesting read, but calling it a good book might be a bit of a stretch. that book where usa sides with germany during ww2, really good. Berlin 1945, can't remember the author..amazing book. | ||

Ghostwritten (semi-recently). Both have a similiar style of writing and narrating which I really, really enjoy :O You should really check them both out, I don't really want to spoil either, seeing it all connect is a nice feeling ^^ I'd suggest number9dream (by David Mitchell, also wrote Ghostwritten and cloud atlas the later which I am yet to read) as well, and probably any other book by the author to Dance Dance Dance , Haruki Murakami, haven't read anything but Dance Dance Dance but I hear David Mitchell is likely to have gotten some inspiration from him, and having read Dance Dance Dance, I'm inclined to agree with that notion). ~_~; | ||

If it takes you 2 weeks to read a book there's something wrong ^_^ Doesn't that all depend on how and when you read? For example, I really enjoy reading stuff at like 2-5 am, which means I'm pretty tired and won't read for that long/won't read that fast so if I read a book like that it will take me a good while to get through. If you read a book hardcore you can of course go through it in a really short amount of time ;p | ||

A Sword of Truth - Goodkind easy reading, good story and characters imo the Wheel of Time - Robert Jordan hopefully he just ends the damn story already, the quality of the writing has been dropping significantly since book 4...and he's on 11 now Hyperion - forget the author - highly recommended...well written, interesting storyline Dune / Enders game like everyone else If you're into star wars, the 10 book x-wing series is a good place to start. they don't really depend on the other books for continuity, and they're an awesome read. starts with rogue squadron by michael stackpole i believe, goes on from there. really gets you into some of the secondary players in the rebel alliance (wedge antilles, wes jansen, others) | ||
