101matt1 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 That's good man. Enjoy what you read. By itself, it's not a bad read, but compared to other things you will read later in life, you will wonder why you read it. But enjoy it now bro <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, like I said, Im liking it. Next Im going to tackle Flags of our Fathers. Has anyone read it, good? Link to post Share on other sites

Lil Leprechaun Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Finished reading Good Omens the other day. Gotta say it's one of the most enjoyable books I've ever read. And now I gotta read Much Ado About Nothing for school....groan Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore_Mitsuko Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Much ado is easy. 1) boy hates girl. Girl hates boy. 2) boy 2 loves girl 2. girl 2 loves boy 2. 3) Misheard conversation. 4) boy now loves girl, for no reason at all. Girl now loves boy too, for the same reason. 5) boy 2 calls girl 2 a slut. girl 2 fakes her own death. 6) boy 2's mates call him a nub. he agrees. 7) girl 2 pretends to be girl 3. boy 2 wants to marry her. 8) wedding scene. girl 2 takes off her mask. boy 2 says "lol, self pwnage" and marries her. Finis. Link to post Share on other sites

NICE ANALYSIS <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did it in first year of uni, and it's a bit pants. That really is all there is to it. I really need to start doing that more often: "Shakespeare's greatest plays in ten bullet points or less". Link to post Share on other sites
Lil Leprechaun Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 In my opinion most of Shakespeares work is a bit pants. Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore_Mitsuko Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Some of it's ok if you can get your head around the language. Look for the dirty jokes too, because they're in there somewhere.... Link to post Share on other sites

Look for the dirty jokes too, because they're in there somewhere.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> like the whole first scene of romeo and juliet most disturbing english lesson ever. finished steppenwolf, would recommend any of hesse's works then read "holes" again, currently @ The Lotus Caves - John Christopher have been recommended "dune" anyone know it?

phoenix360mute Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 the five rings, good if you like teh sword, not so good if you like teh gun thus, im torn between love and hate, good read highly recomend to anyone who does martial arts seriously Link to post Share on other sites
PariahWolf Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Next read - The assassin's apprentice by Robin Hobb, I love this book! the folllowing eight books are fantastic, if your into your fantasy these are definately worth a read. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> God I love these books read them all 3 times. The first trilogy is genious, 2nd one isn't so good 3rd ones are the best books I have ever read I think. Only surpassed by the 1st book in the 4th trilogy. Thoroughly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good fantasy read. Half way through - Preistess of the White by Trudi Canavan. Thoroughly recommended as well just like any of her books.

wolfspider Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Thankyou Pariah, someone with taste. Now reading "The secret hunters" by Ranulph fiennes: This is one of the most disturbing books about the Holocaust I have read, takes what you already knew and just adds to it in spades. Also some horrific descriptions of the massacres in Rwanda between the Hutu and Tutsi tibes. Totally shocking what people can do to each other. Link to post Share on other sites
Kousnik Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Almost done reading 'Mein Kampf' by some guy called Adolf Hitler, hes a pretty unheard of author. The read is questionable to this point but since i'm studying totalitarian political ideologies, I guess it helps. Link to post Share on other sites
mower Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 have been recommended "dune" anyone know it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ive read most of them and i recomend them all, but they get really strange the further you go on.
