Prey by Micheal Crichton. I had to read this book for chemistry class, and I found it very interesting as well as suspenseful. It is full of death, suspense, technology, and people cheating on their spouses. I highly recommend it.
Okay. I thought we could talk about some of the latest books manga and magazines(except porn). Tell me some of the latest books you have read that you couldn't put down. Some of the books that your writing or just love to talk about. The same goes for manga and magazines. jeyviolin
well, my interest is lost. I suppose it isn't recent, but Fight Club is a good book. I saw the movie and it rocked
books: maximun ride (the one where they have wings and can fly) drums , girls , and dangerous pie
manga: i read the new naruto chapter every week and i read death note (chapter 18 as of this post)
magazines: nintendo power, tips and tricks, and game informer
and i am writing simpsons episodes to send to MG to see what he thinks
Im reading Moby Dick by Herman Melville right now. Its really good, i suggest it to all of you. WARNING: tons of old slang and oddball nautical terms that you never heard of. try not to get confused, I sure did, anyone know what a monkey jacket is?
some random literature stuff.
- Frog and Toad pwns all!!!!!!! best series ever concieved. yes im serious, i love Frog and Toad.
- Dickens is good... if you skip the 8 chapters he wrights describing the rose bush outside.
- I loath Nathaniel Hawthrone. flippin guy is off his rocker, sheesh.
- whoever mentioned Eoin Colfer: yeah Artemis Fowl aint bad. really good blend of fantasy and sci-fi, plus its funny! did you read the supernaturalist by Colfer? its pretty good.
tman2k, that book looks interesting, may check it out... maybe.
I see we have a classic soul here. I love moby dick to. Frog and toad do pwn and I like dickens but he is depressing. I think nathaniel hawthorne was weird to. I love Tolstoy and Poe is good to. Have you ever read Beowulf in Gaelic. It is really cool.Im reading Moby Dick by Herman Melville right now. Its really good, i suggest it to all of you.

^ eh im not a big classic lit guy, but i do read my fair share. lately no modern sci-fi books have intrigued me and fantasy IMO is hit or miss. dickens depressing? yeah a little. and hawthorne is a lunatic, i dont even know what he's talking about half the time!
i have never read Beowulf at all yet... i like solid books not little itty bitty fragments of text. but i will check it out one day. i still have to read Gilgamesh! my cousin lent me it and i haven't had the time to get into it. grargh!
I think I might actually read through the Harry Potter series. Thyen maybe go through the Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson.Marksman2200
ok go ahead with the latter but avoid the former. HP really aint that great, decent story but the writing is mediocre. it had potantial though but Rowling missed the mark. but what type of book are you looking for?
Okay. I love LORT series. The Hobit is awesome and is different style than the LORT series. Great SCI-FI books are Micheal Stackpole Dragon War Cycles series and Sean Russels Swan Wars. Absolutely amazing books. Beaowulf is like a real book. It has three parts to it and it is an amazing story. I loved it. What is Gilgamesh about?
^ wow now i wanna check that book ou-....... umm... nevermind.
MM yeah lord of the flies was pretty good, i bet if the boys were americans they wouldn't last 1 day! damn brits :P give a brit a can of beans and a wool sweater and they could survive any winter. outside in exile.
