I havn't read a book for months.....

I fail.

Well, actually I havn't finished reading a book in months. I've got a habit of starting them and then getting distracted and never going back to them. I'm currently in the middle of like 3 right now.

^ In my whole life, I have read about 3 full books.

I read 1 myself, and I Read 2 at school.. Because I had to.

I'm reading The Gambler, basically i'm too lazy to go my library so I just read books off the internet.

It's pretty good.

I just finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, and now I am currently reading "The Giver" and "The Golden Compass".

"The Giver" is a beautifully crafted book, that goes into detail about a world where there is no color, no war, no rule breaking, no memories, no nothing. It tells about a young man, who gets assigned his job [as everybody in this world does] as 'the receiver'. "The Giver", who is an old man, gives 'the receiver' [called 'Jonas'] memories of the outside world. Such as love, fun, war, hate and more. I really suggest It.

I'm pretty sure most of you, probably all of you, have heard of / seen The Golden Compass.

I read it, for school, good book, i liked how the memories made him see what they did differently.

I'm reading this:
Nova Refuge
the legend of saber-scorpion, book 1
Warrior Born

for the second book of an author it is extremely well written.(you won't find it on retail)

I am at about past the middle of the book, it's awesome.

Yeah, Like when he learned about war, he saw that they had nothing close to that ... then he freaked out on those kids for playing 'war', when they didn't even know what It was.

The Golden Compass is good, but the beauty of it is i wouldn't call it something that is a must read.

if you've read harry potter, or something similar you get the general gist of it... great books, but there's no harm in waiting to read them...i read the first book and i've been putting off the second for the better part of 3 years

What? Subtle Knife is the third book in the trilogy. The non-US titles for Golden Compass is Northern Lights.

Lemme guess, your parents didn't approve of Pullman's slight hate-on for Christianity?

EDIT: And yeah, the series is entertaining, somewhat original, not the greatest books ever, though.

Aha, Is that the chapter where they bathe the old-wrinkly man? Yes, quite awkward. Oh, and Deathly Hollows IS amazing. I'm in love.

Nah, the one after it. It's the one where he has the dream about trying to give Fiona a bath, Stirrings, and taking pills and such.

... Oh yeah. That was a little more on the sexual side. Very, strange.

Correcto, I wouldn't read it anyway, looked to much like the alternate dimension of Narnia... I still need to get back too Dune, find Long Hard Road Out Of Hell (No store has it here) then hide it from my dad while I read it. And I need to get the final Seventh Tower book fro mthe library.
