What are you reading at the moment?

I have just finished reading The Host. It felt strangely like New Moon in some parts though. It's a very good book though, and it almost seems like you'd WANT a sequel to it, even though it gives a very clear ending.

Narnia 6 >_<

I'm slowly working my way through a really weird book called "The End of Mr. Y", by Scarlett Thomas. Very strange book.

And also waiting and waiting till September when the third Inheritance book comes out.

It's ok, there are some really strange bits. Probably just references to something personal to her. If I knew more about the author maybe it'd make sense. But it's a good book over all.

Read it for yourself.

Mort, by Terry Pratchett
Actually I've already read it a long time ago, I just needed some light reading for the train trip..

The new issue of Sound On Sound. Now isn't that exciting?

Oathbreaker · Post by **Oathbreaker** » Mon Jul 07, 2008 3:03 pm

I'm buying Breaking Dawn and the third Inheritance book as soon as they come out... or rather my sister will and then I'm going to read them.

And I'm thankful that she's going to be the one to buy them because as with Sublymonal, I'm making a trip soon, although it's going to be rather more permanent than his, as I've decided to change my moving plan altogether and just go to a different country.

Well, I AM getting DragonFire and DragonLight [my last two purchased books for a few years] in the mail tommorrow. And to Oathbreaker, I do eventually plan on moving to cambodia, but that will be a long time from now. Like ten years from now.... possibly longer.... probably longer....

The Alchymist, it's spelled weird, not like the regular spelling, great book.

The Dog Whisperer · Post by **The Dog Whisperer** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 2:45 am

King's last post reminded me of a book I have. I'm not reading it but it's good.

It's called "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night", by MMark Haddon I think.
It's about an autistic kid who discovers a dog dead in his neighbours front yard and then sets out to "solve the mystery".
The point of view in the book is strange, and there are a few strange things like the chapters are numbered only with prime numbers.

Great book though...

I just finished the New Jedi Order, I'm [&@%!] that they killed off Chewie, 'the family dog'!

Ha, I'm supposed to be reading a book for summer! Screw that!

Daedricmudcrab · Post by **Daedricmudcrab** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 1:35 pm

I know me too. I have to read Drums, girls, and dangerous pie. What kind of name is that

. God it's weird. This kid is annoyed by his brother and everything seems like a normal book, and then, out of nowhere, his little brother has a nosebleed and gets lukiemia. And then it gets sad. And while your thinking, oh the poor boy has lukiemia, the book suddenly randomly switches over to the fact that the main character is like addoring this girl. Then he starts talking about god alot. he's like, ok if I don't do ______ then You'll make my brother not sick, and I'm like OK. God I hate summer reading and other reading assignments. I love reading but when they assign it it completely ruins the fun of reading and turns you off to the idea.

The Dog Whisperer · Post by **The Dog Whisperer** » Tue Jul 08, 2008 5:54 pm

I don't mind reading assignments, they're easy.

If I had to choose between a 3 page essay or reading a few chapters of a book for English homeowrk I'd always choose the latter.

One of the better ones was The Silver Sword, Ian Serrailer.

Oh, don't get me started... I had no idea just how many weirdos were so desperate to see male game characters get together with other male characters. There have to be more than a dozen Harry Potter and Ron Weasley pairings alone on fanfiction.net. Disturbing stuff.

Anyone read the Darren Shan books? They use to scare me

They're not so bad now... but if I'm alone reading one and there's no background noise I still get the chills.

ironmaiden83 · Post by **ironmaiden83** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 2:20 pm

Never heard of 'em. What are they about?

The Dog Whisperer · Post by **The Dog Whisperer** » Wed Jul 09, 2008 2:50 pm

Various horror books.

I haven't read one in about 2 months, but my favourite one is one about a werewolf, it really creeped me out for about 3 days.

Well, I wouldn't consider a leader of millions of rotting re-animated humans to be scared by the books.

But they scare me.

I like most anything by David Eddings, one of my favourites is "The Redemption of Althalus", by him and his brother, Leigh.
