Read Soon I Will Be Invincible

[ChairmanPoo]

Gastby's a fool. He should've spent the monkey in women and booze.

Preservation.

[Acanthus117]

I just read Water for Elephants, the Book Thief, the Passage, and some other books.

In other news...

yay book club!

Preservation.

Yeah, that too. Women, booze and prophylactics

...or the Bagavad Gita.

if you're gonna read that, you may as well read the mahabharat, of which the gita is but a single chapter.

It has the record of being the longest poem in history.

That length might actually be a problem--not many people are going to sit down for the, what, million and a half or two million words of it? That takes a certain level of devotion that probably shouldn't be under the auspices of an online book club, heh.

[Acanthus117]

Wow, a million words...

How many pictures would that be?

/lame pun

Has anybody read Inkheart? I couldn't get through it the first time I tried to read it, nothing happened for the first half of the book. I can bare a slow start, but that was just terrible. I've been wanting to try again though, because I've been told it's a good book, but I lost it a while ago.

[Acanthus117]

Ooh, I have, some years ago.

It was O.K, and the sequels are alright at best.

[Heron TSG]

Inkheart is good, the sequels will make you tear your eyestalks out.

[Acanthus117]

Really? I didn't find it that sad...

I read the first 50 pages or so, and then I wanted to kill myself too badly to continue.  It just seemed so... childish.

[sonerohi]

Those sequels made me want to cram explosive propellant into my consumption orifice and blow out my thought muscle.

[Acanthus117]

I have this habit of finishing a book whenever I start it, no matter how bad I find it. I have no clue why.

If there are sequels, the urge to read continues.


That's why I read the Twilight series. Oh god all the wasted brain cells...

[ECrownofFire]

Hmm, maybe my friends just have bad taste in books or something. At the very least, the friend that recommended it hated The Great Gadsby.

Also, anybody read The Golden Compass? I hated the book, personally. Far too many unanswered questions. If I wanted a mystery, I would read a mystery novel. It's not nice to make a critical plot element completely unanswered as to what it even is.
