Tempting! I'll see if there's anything like it available in Limerick. If not, I may be in BÁC soon anyway.

Didn't even get a chance to scope out the Military section, that's on the list for the 2nd visit.

I got 150 pages into Ulysses and realised I actually hadn't the faintest idea what was going on, so I gave up. Never had to give up on a book before, it now sits on my bookcase and mocks me Shall have to give it another shot in the summer...

Same happened to me. Guess I'm not as stupid as I thought ahahaha. Anywho, now I'm reading Daniel Martin by John Fowles. A pretty light one, only doable on a train/bus ride. So I gotta find something else in parallel to read.

I've been reading non-stop, I'm not sure if a kindle was a good or bad present...Just finished The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. So good. So, so, good. Go buy it.

Reading the second book in the Rizzoli and Isles series "The Apprentice" by Tess Gerristsen.I've read two of the later books in the series but I'm liking the early ones and finding out more about the characters.

I bought it the second it was released but haven't gotten around to reading it yet!

Have you read any of his other stuff? Any good?

cloud493 · 28-02-2012 09:32AM

I do not hate the twilight series

not the best series I'l ever read, or even one of the best. But its not nearly as bad as people act like it is.

Namlub · 28-02-2012 08:06PM

Got through a few chapters of the first book and I can honestly say that it was the worst thing I've ever read.

I are mostly reading Just Kids by Patti Smith, I'm not usually that into memoirs but it's properly good

cloud493 · 06-03-2012 10:35PM

Had a chapters binge yesterday

cloud493 · 11-03-2012 06:14PM

Cloud agree's with this statement

Finished Slaughterhouse 5 by Kurt Vonnegut, re-reading Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, bought One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest today. I'm glad I picked the FYP topic I did!

I've had a bit of a reading binge over the last two days. Read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins yesterday and Looking for Alaska by John Green today. The Hunger Games was good, entertaining but the characters were very superficial and the plot was frustratingly slow at time. Looking for Alaska on the otherhand was amazing. Really really enjoyed it. I can very easily see it becoming a teenage cult classic. It was perfectly paced with the right amount of suspense and mystic to keep you reading. He is just as poetic a writer as he is a vlogger. Would defo recommend.

Same! Since Saturday I've been reading a crazy amount. It's amazing how much I've neglected it, but these days I turn off the laptop at a reasonable time and then end up reading in the dead of the night...oh how things change. :pac:

Anyway, so far on my binge I have read Fatherland by Robert Harris, The Help by Kathryn Stockett and I've finally finished A Game of Thrones (nine months later...the odd thing is, I think it's brilliant!). Currently past the halfway mark of The Picture of Dorian Gray, and I'm quickly becoming obsessed with Oscar Wilde. It's almost indescribable, it's just...when I read his words I despair that I'll ever be able to write anything of worth because how he writes is almost exactly how I'd love to write...and there's no need for that, because he's already done it. Just so perfect, aaaah.

Corkfeen · 04-04-2012 06:15PM

Finished The Hound of the Baskervilles. Think I'll move onto the Steve Jobs biography next. Should probably be studying at this stage.

Namlub · 04-04-2012 08:56PM

Finished The Shadow of The Wind, The Great Gatsby and The Life of Pi recently, now I'm (finally) reading One Hundred Years of Solitude. Really like it so far, it reminds me a lot of The House of the Spirits. Except with more incest...
