I was reading Pride & Prejudice and Zombies.....really fucking boring in my opinion. I had to put it to the side for later reading when I can put more time into it.
Found it boring as fuck too.
Currently reading Heaven's Net Is Wide...Prequel to Tales of the Otori series which I liked. This one started out ok, but its degrading into too much forbidden love bullshit.
Picked up The Brothers Karamazov (Fyodor Dostoyevsky), Night Shift (Stephen King) and some Aldous Huxley books today though...Might try getting through those instead...
Or Don Quixote which sits half-read on my bedside table. Hilarious book, but for some reason I want to save it for when I'm travelling.
I just started Physics of the Impossible:by Michio Kaku. It's very interesting so far. It's all about how stuff like time travel parallel universes and stuff is scientifically possible.
Hannibal was probably the best of the bunch. I find it hilarious how easily upset people are. The book caused sooooo much controversy. There are only a few scenes that were unpleasant. The book is well-written, has a great story and lots of time with Hannibal. I really liked Hannibal Rising too, but it's a different sort of story.

Sweet Ill have to check it out. I love gruesome books and movies so unpleasantness isn't an issue. All the Hannibal movies are among my favorites and I just got into reading the books. Is it necessary to read Silence of the lambs before Hannibal?
Oh yeah, Junky was good. Though I'm not sure how good it would be if you weren't a drug user...I liked the blurb on the back about 'seeking to turn self-destruction into art'.
Google said it's having a movie made of it, it will NOT be better than the book cause the book itself is quite controversial and funny while doing it and the american film industry won't have that.
Finished Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad...Enjoyed it a lot, though it was quite heavy reading for such a short book. Conrad manages to say so much with so little words I would need to go reread sentences every now and then.
Now going through some articles in The Great Shark Hunt by Hunter S. Thompson as some light reading prior to starting The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles or The House Of The Dead by Fyodor Dostoyevsky...After a recommendation in 'the brothers karamazov' thread I can't make up my mind :mad:
Thats a pretty good book man. I read it years ago so Ive forgotten some of it but it isn't light reading. What I remember mainly is George Rockwell being opposed to him. Anyway I don't agree with Yockey on a lot but he was a brilliant philosopher in regards to race, history and America.
Currently reading three books at once cause I get different moods.
My Booky Wook (Russel Brand's memoirs)
The Quran (I'm interested)
Return From Tomorrow (Story about how some guy made it back from death after 10 minutes, real story)
Hood, a renegade American diplomat, envisions a new urban order through the opium fog of his room. His sometimes bedmate, Mayo, has stolen a Flemish painting and is negotiating for publicity with "The Times". Murf the bomb-maker leaves his mark in red whilst his girlfriend Brodie bombs Euston.
Comments
Right now: Nature-via-nurture, Open veins of Latin America, and John Donne's poetry.
Good book but I'm a Palanuik fan.
I'm reading "Paths Not Taken" from the Nightside series. Its okay. I'm ready to get back to serious stuff though.
Next is "The Lesser Key of Solomon" and "The Greater Key of Solomon"

Now onto The Brothers Karamazov.
Just recently got done reading Speak. It was okay 7/10
Tales of the Otori, excellent series I gotta say.
I've always liked Tolstoy.
After a recommendation from the 'Burrough's' thread...Not bad so far.
How was Hannibal? I just got done reading Red Dragon not that long ago and it was pretty good.

I really liked the movie. Never knew it was a book.
Oh yeah, Junky was good. Though I'm not sure how good it would be if you weren't a drug user...I liked the blurb on the back about 'seeking to turn self-destruction into art'.
Yeah, the book was published in 1977. I watched the movie, looked it up and found out it was a book fisrt. So I went and torrented the book.
Crazy cat.
Bunch of lunatics
I definitely need to read this book again. Especially the bits on Pontius Pilate
Yeah, that part was profound.
Azazello was an excellent character though, Bulgakov is so damn descriptive without being long winded.
Basis for "Blade Runner"

I havn't been reading much for damn months. Now I've got a few lined up
And the odd history book for my course, like "The Hitler Myth" by Ian Kershaw ans some obscure book on the Crusades.
EDIT: Nobody got mad

Hard to think something so depraved was published in 1959
To say the least, Robert Louis Stevenson has made the list.
For Uni - The Christian Heritage in the Holy Land, various Authors and Editors
My Booky Wook (Russel Brand's memoirs)
The Quran (I'm interested)
Return From Tomorrow (Story about how some guy made it back from death after 10 minutes, real story)
Next I'll be re-reading The Alchemist.
The next book on my shelf waiting to be read is The Old Man and the Sea, which I've wanted to read for a long while.
