Hey, sorry if there is a topic like this already but I just recently got into.. "reading for fun". I really enjoyed the Alex Rider series. So, post the types of books you enjoy to read, or just say you don't like to read, do you read books, the New York Times? Your schools newspaper, etc?

 

 

 

Please fill me in on some good books too.

Don't you know the first rule of MMO's? Anyone higher level than you has no life, and anyone lower than you is a noob.

For our language-arts class we're required to read from any book of our choice for at least half an hour a day (on top of other assignments). It's all a matter of finding books you like. Get recommendations online or from friends. I'm thankful my teacher has gotten me back into reading.

Anyone who likes fantasy or fiction in general must read A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin. Four books, fifth coming out sometime this decade hopefully. Best contemporary books I've ever read.

 

 

 

I'm not kidding. Read them.

 

 

 

Note: Adult fiction. No sheltered kiddies. I'm not kidding about that either.

Now I feel weird for not reading the big political classics like 1984. I really enjoy reading, it's something I do quite often. I'm a big fan of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt series. Right now I'm reading Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett. It's really good, just finished the 2nd book.

Typical response from me. :)

 

I read more than the average person that I know, so I guess I would say I like to read. However, I used to love to read, now I would prefer playing video games but I still constantly read.

 

Other than everything written by Tolkien, Ender's Game is probably one of my favorites. The other three in the series aren't as great, but still good, I suppose.

Michael Crichton was a great author, I've read Jurassic Park a few times, and Disclosure, that was brilliant.

 

 

 

I've also read The Hobbit liike 4 times, it's a very good read.

 

 

 

I remember having to read To Kill A Mockingbird for English at school over the holidays. At first I hated it :lol: now though I recognise it obviously as one of the best novels ever written.

I highly recommend the Alex Rider series to everyone, it's sooo good, you won't be able to put it down, I used to hate reading, and only read when for school, if then.. Until I picked up the Alex Rider books, they're amazing.

I know, right? I think I'm going to go out and at least get it from the library sometime this week. My resolve has just been strengthened.

I love reading.

 

 

 

I recommend Catch-22 it's an amazing book for the slightly older scene, it has been called one of the best litereary achievements of the 20th century.

 

 

 

Catch-22 is only for the 16+ crowd, if you are younger then that you won't have a clue, if you are only moderately intelligent wait until your 18.

I like to read, but for some reason I can never find any books that I truly get into. When I do get into a book though, I can't put it down (I finished Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy in under a week). Favorite series of all time is the first trilogy of Artemis Fowl books, I must have re-read them 10 times each, though the newer Fowl books are starting to suck.

I re-read that a few weeks ago, and it's probably the funniest book I've ever read. It's not often that books are laugh out loud funny but still cutting and relevent satire. Silly Orr with his apples in his cheeks and chesnuts in his hands.

Ironic.

 

This is a forum.

 

:lol:

 

 

 

Anyway, I dont particularly like reading books. Books bore me to death. I havent found one to date that actually had me enthusiastic about the situation the main character/s were in.

 

 

 

Also; there are some booknerds at my school who are so rebelious, they DONT DO THEIR WORK

 

and read instead.

 

 

 

Wow.

I dont need a siggy no moar.
