Book Thread!

The only books I have read this year are Hunger Games, Catching Fire & Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, they're pretty amazing. I've also read Of Mice & Men for school. But, as I've just started English Literature for College I've got to read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and also Dracula by Bram Stoker. Then I have to read Jane Eyre. But apart from studies, I'm interested in reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (No guesses why

I'm currently reading The Beautiful and the Damned by F Scott Fitz & something by Kant.. I'm not sure, I haven't started it yet

I started reading the Fellowship of the Ring the other day, and it's so different from the movie! Seems rather good tho.

[Sitar 22,218]

I've read 34 books this year... :ph34r:

 

*keeps a list*

[ChasingTheGhost 55]

I finished Stephen King's Carrie a couple nights ago. I wanted to see the difference from the film and knowing that the 2013 film will be faithful to the book itself. I gotta say, I love it more than the film and it's one of my all time favorite films.

Just finished "Never Let Me Go" last night.

I just finished "Fight Club" the other day. It was kinda weirdly written, and I had the movie in the back of my head while I was reading (wich was annoying). But it was good!

[Sitar 22,218]

Reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower for like the tenth time in my life before I go see the movie. If they fucked it up, there will be hell to pay.

[Guy 976]

Oh, they did

[Sitar 22,218]

Oh, they did

 

Nooooo, I'm so mad.

I've heard about this book I think! The name sounds really familiar. Is it any good?

It's my all-time favorite book, if that's any indication. Read it

Oh, will do! It better be good!

[Matt 984]

So I was just thinking about books, this past summer I read:

 

Lolita

Helter Skelter

Rosemary's Baby

 

Rosemary's Baby is classic but I of course love the movie more.

Lolita brought me to tears.

Helter Skelter was chilling at parts, and Manson deserves to get crushed to death.

 

I'm currently reading "Go Ask Alice" - It's good so far, nothing mind-blowing.

 

In school I am being forced to read "Of Mice and Men" and can safely say it's completely uninteresting.

Ok, I just finished it, hahhaha. It was good. It was not the best book I've read, but not bad either, hahha. I didn't catch get that he was molested tho, I was just reading about it and I found it out, haahha. Looks like I have to reread the last pages!

o well...Then what is the best book you've ever read?

[teethclick 898]

"Pan" by Knut Hamsun.

[Hundred Dollar Bill 21,809]

The best novel I have ever read is called Always & Forever and Five Other Lies by Veronica Simunovic. Sitar, you should read it! Perks used to be my favorite novel of all time, until I read A&FAFOL. It's seriously a perfect book.

 

My favorite series is Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events. Those books are my childhood and I will never stop loving them. They're so well written, and the story is so good. They got me through a lot of hard times. I've read the series in its entirety 3 times, they're full of great humor, emotion, mystery, idk just about everything you could think of. I wish they had continued the movies, they had the perfect cast.

 

Meryl Streep + Jim Carrey + Emily Browning =

 

I can't imagine how amazing the movies would have become if they'd continued them because the plot gets so much more interesting and really picks up towards the middle of the series. I could really talk about those books all day tbh.
