What are you reading?

[Peanut]

I'm interested to know. What book everyone is reading right now? Want to see what people around here are into. I just got finished on reading the Repair Man Jack series again. The second one was my favorite by far. Good stuff. I recently re-read both books in the Halo series as well. I just got into the Cleric Quintet series from Forgotten Realms. I finished the first and it was so good I decided to go buy the next two today. I'm only one chapter into the second one mostly because I was dead tired at 7:00 tonight and ended up falling asleep until 12:30. Now I'll be up all night.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

The Art Of War by Sun Tzu
I read (and study)it every two months, actually!

[Kali]

Currently, I'm reading up on Yoga, trying to put together a routine for myself.

But I think I'm gonna pick up Raptor Red again. I love that book.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

What's Raptor Red about?

[Kali]

Raptor Red's a story about a Utahraptor, just grabbing a year out of her life, as well as some short bits about other species. It's written by Robert Bakker, great story, especially for dino lovers.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Almost sounds like this CGI movie idea I have. It's called the Sabrewing Saga.

[Cascadia]

I read tons of science books.....I will read just about anything that is science related....nutrition, biology, chemistry, psychology, geology, and water quality issues. I am pretty much similar to Donny. :P I have also read some Chinese and Japanese literature.

[Nickokapo]

What am i reading?Uhhhhh your post :p
Actually i'm not reading any books, i don't enjoy reading that much, even though i did as a kid, but children books do not entertain me anymore for obvious reasons :)
Anyone wanna recommend me a good book?Maybe i should start reading again..

[Karpo_007]

Im not really a book person, I read mostly for school. Last bok I read was Bram Stoker's Dracula. Very good book.

[Pepzi]

I swear the last book I read tried to bite my hand off... So I kicked the ****er... any who, I have plans to read... but year 12... lets just say I read without needing or wanting!

[GK Punk]

I can't remember the title of the last book I read, but it was by Neil Gaiman, and it was very good. (I'll edit this later once I find the book)

[HorseTechie]

Fanfic!

*blinks*

Oh, you mean an actual, pphysical, paper book? *thinks for a minute* Erhm... the Lord of the Rings: TTT, was the last book I was reading. :D

[Mars-Chan]

"Son of the sword"

Look it up. I'm not telling a thing about it. :wink: :P

[Deepflame]

Currently I'm reading "The Talisman" by Stephen King and Peter Straub, although it feels a liiiittle too strange for me :P

Prior, I read "Musashi" by some japanese guy I cant rememeber the name of. If you have the time, go read it (them, two books), 'cause it was friggin awesome!

[JameO]

I have recently finished the StarCraft series and also read Faceoff but can't remember the author. It is a pretty good book about hockey and performance enhancing drugs.

[Kid Icarus]

I'm working my way through some Dragonlance books. I've finished the Chronicles series (around 1,200 pages :dead: ), and now I've started on the Legends (i think?) series. Really interesting, although typical, fantasy novels. Wizards, Dragons, Elves, some-impending-doom-comming-from some-unspeakable-dark-force-that-is-going-to-tear-the-world-apart kinda stuff.

and, in a few weeks, I'll be reading all 800+ pages of the new Harry Potter...Please let Rowling learn that while long books are good, the next one should not be over 1000 pages :dead: :lol: .

[kyabetsu]

YES IT SHOULD!!

THE NEXT HARRY POTTER BOOK SHOULD NEVER END!!!!!

oh wait. that's how the SERIES is....
*kya loves reading!*

[Brodie]

Stupid White Men by Michael Moore right now, I try to read when I can.

That book is funny as hell.

[XERO]

I LOVE EGM but it's not available in my area anymore. :cry: :cry: :cry:

How are the Review Crew doing, Benvenuto?

Great. Shoe and CJ are still there, but everyone else left and went to other magazines. :cry: I really liked Che Chou.

But that's cool. :)

[Tokka-B]

Just finished Harry Potter GoF for the 5th time this month. OotP is going to be great, 896 pages wow! The next one will probly break 1,000 by her rate. The 3rd movie is coming along nicely as well...getting rid of Columbus finally!! :)

[Meira-Bates]

I am currently reading a handfull of Redwall books (Everytime I think I'm done I go to the store and find an armfull of new ones X.x)

I am also reading 'the Dragon and the Pheonix' and 'the Demon Awakens'

[Tokka-B]

Well Jacques only makes like one Redwall book a year, but they are making some alternate Redwall short books about like the clans and such so it could be hard to keep up, but I have been following for quite a while so I actually have problems waiting, so I think I am going to get his other series.

[azure turtle]

Hmm... For comic books, I'm currently reading TMNT (of course), Xin, and Violent Messiahs. As for things outside of comics, I've been reading Mary Shelly's Frankenstein. That's about it, unless you want to include text books. :dead:

[Mars-Chan]

*Glomps Kya for being a HP fan* Yay!! I cannot wait for it!! :D
Neeeh...I'm getting it on DVD. 8) Year three's gonna ROCK!!! :lol:

[Cascadia]

I just finished Renaissance Rivals which is about the various artists of the High Renaissance. During that time, Raphael, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Titian competed against one another to produce artwork. The only artist that it did not include is Donatello. Everyone figure out why. :evilgrin:

[The Stryker]

*head pops out from mile-high comic book pile*

can you guess what im reading?

*pulls out the godzilla 2000 novel*

he was from the EARLY renaissance movement and was not in any way their contemporary. He died before Michelangelo was even born. He pre-dated them by almost a full century. He also worked primarily in sculpture especially with the revoultionary bronze technique that he pioneered. It allowed Artists to cast hollow, free-standing, bronze statues as opposed to SOLID bronze or bronze finished pieces. That bronze technique is primarily why he is considered a renaissance artist, since it was the first of may art techniques that were either re-discovered or invented during that time period.

yaaay European History. love that stuff. less BENJAMMIN FRANKLIN and more BEHEADINGS. and incest. lots more incest. that makes history more fun.


*looks at mouse, stryker and the burning book.*

um... stryker.... you caught your shoes on fire with all that running back and forth over the book burning... you might wanna tend to that...

[Mars-Chan]

*zips toward him, stands up on her broom* Steady....steady....RRRRAAAAHHHH!!! *leaps off broom and tackles Stryker to the ground*

[kyabetsu]

okay... well Mars' got that whole "STOP, DROP, and ROLL" thing down pat. So i guess its okay now.... *pours sand over the burning books and smothers the flames.*

kya says:
ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT THREAD FIRES!!

peace.

[The Stryker]

get off me!!.....godzilla attack!!!

*pulls out square metal remote and presses the big red button*

*nothing happens*

*gazoo appears next to me*

gazoo you gotta help me!

gazoo:"you got yourself into this dum-dum"

*gazoo disappears*

big headed bastard....

[Mars-Chan]

um... stryker.... you caught your shoes on fire with all that running back and forth over the book burning... you might wanna tend to that...

Good job. :) This techniques are still used today. He was the one that rediscovered how to create full-bodied bronze sculptures and free-standing.

[Tokka-B]

I hate those fundamentalists/extremists who do that sort of thing (Of course they don't mind Narnia chronicles since they have christianity written all over it as well as witchcraft).....I am surprised there weren't any terrorist attacks on JKR's home... :(

[The Stryker]

its not my fault it was a quote from the simpsons......i just dislike HP and don't say i haven't read the books cause i have and its long for nothing

but thats my opinion!

Bamf! *disappears before a grenade lands where i was standing*

[Moomintroll]
