The Book thread

[Ndnd]

I just finished reading a bok called Jeremy and Amy. It's about a man who looks after Amy the Orangutan.

It was really good, it had me laughing, awwing and crying.

Wasn't based on Monkey World in Dorset was it?

Yeah it was half the book was about what he did before Monkey world , how he met Jim and how they created Monkey world.

I think Jeremy and Amy are both still there actually. I absolutely adore Orangs

I thought I recognised the names! I've been to the park once, a few years ago, but Mum and I used to watch the televised series religiously! Orangs are lovely

I was up until 1:30am last night reading the second K-PAX book. It's not your typical page-turner but I couldn't put it down.

Started the third book this morning, while I was in bed feeling like shite.

Currently reading my way through the "Stoneheart Trilogy" by Charlie Fletcher. (Which is apparently a series for 10 year olds but I didn't realise this until after I'd finished the first book. Anyway, enjoying them so what the hell)

Just started on the Recluce series by L. E. Modesitt. Which it's certainly got some of the tyical fantasy stuff in there, it's quite definatly got the guy's own slant on it. If the rest of the book and series keep up with the first couple of chapters, I think I'm on to a winner.

finished Dexter is Delicious the other day and i have to say, a very gory end to a Dexter book. im curious what will happen in the next book due to the return of some old characters and the various developments involving others.

My reading list as of late has been full of 'classics' because I'm a pretentious fuck (and thought I'd actually read some of the books that I probably should have read already). To whit:

Gawain and the Green Knight (some Oxford World Classics verse translation)
Jules Verne - Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea
Dante Aligheri - The Divine Comedy
Edward Gibbons - The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

Oh, and also all the Scott Pilgrim comics since I found the film rather enjoyable. And a load of Sandman by Neil Gaiman. Up to book 6 and it's epic as fuck so far

[Strapping Young Kate]

Just started Beloved by Toni Morrison. I have high expectations for this book, given what I've heard about it.

Revisiting John Ringo's Posleen War series. Currently on "A Hymn Before Battle"

[Twaddlefish]

Just started World War Z. Wish I'd bought The Zombie Survival Guide too, read it before but this has reminded me how good Brooks is. Anyone who wants to read these, read TZSG before WWZ.

I recieved it as a Christmas present last year. Top notch read

Bump these up to the highest priority. You will not regret it.

The World According to Clarkson Part 4.

Selling point for the book? The chapter list cracks me up before I start reading any further. For example:

Ambulance, quick! Some idiot's had a brainwave.

The world is not safe until Scrabble is banned.

Move over - Pooh the Dark Knight is coming!

etc.
