Posted August 21, 2006 I finally finished Ruined City (utter briallance - 10/10) and I'm now blazing through Power of Three, a much lighter read but highly entertaining and just a little provoking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 22, 2006 Deception Point is brilliant! Keep going. I´ll try but i alway´s kinda lose interest at those "make you smarter" parts in Dan Brown´s books when the main character tells someone really smart that very few know of to make you feel smarter...

Posted August 22, 2006 You probably mean Simon Singh, and Flatterland isn't quite as good, and is more about physics than maths. Ah yes, thats the guy. Physics is still one of my interests so it's all good. Also, I definitely reccomend people read some of the Christopher Brookmyre books, the ones like 'Big Boys Did It And Ran Away' and 'The Sacred Art Of Stealing' (that one has clowns in it ^_^) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2006 Always reading The Dark Tower or something related to it. This summer Ive read a few things and Ive been trying to get through a book I started a few years ago by Tom Clancey, Red Storm Rising but I just cant seem to read it for any length of time or any stretch of days and weeks to get it finished! Its good though and Id recommend it - its my first Clancey book like so maybe hes got better. Ive got books Im gonna get into soon like Dracula, L'Etranger, something I have by Voltaire but cant think of right now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2006 I don't think I have read a book since school. I had to read something for my GCSE English when I was 15/16, I'm 22 now, is that bad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've tried wrestling through Splinter Cell and a few others but I always get lost in the excessive technobabble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2006 I am on book 10 of the wheel of time series. its very good if you like that sort of thing. its by a guy called Robert Jordan who has a terminal illness. Apparently there will be 12 books in the series. i have 11. He hasnt yet finished the 12th. Is it wrong for me to want him to finish the last book before he dies, or should i just wish him a painless death, and to spend the last few months/years of his life with his loved ones? I dont know.....but i really would love to see how this series ends, as it is nigh on 7000 pages of book i will have read though..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2006 The wheel of time series is absolutely awful dude, I randomly picked up Geomancer cause it looked cool, it was so badly written it was unbelievable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2006 ive never heard of geomancer.......besides, i don't care how well written something is. As long as its good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2006 Oh shit, hah, I'm thinking of something else...whoops...I just immediately made the connection cause I've seen loads of Robert Jordans books on the shelf in WHSmith and thats where I got that pile of wank from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 22, 2006 Thats ok, im sure lots of people wouldnt like the series either, but i do! and thats all that matters.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 23, 2006 Not reading anything at the moment, but to the guy reading Deception Point, do keeop going! A high favourite of Dans books in my eyes. Last book i read was Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (the franchise finally broke me after all my years of resilliance and i've just caught up). Was good, if a little dark for how the series has been thus far. Still, it sets it up for a good finale whenever she decides to finnish writing the damn thing (who wants to bet Harry dies? It would be soooo good!). Not really looking for much to read at the moment, i might read my g/fs copy of Dan Browns Digital Fortress, its the only one i havnt read but she says its the crappest so im not very hyped about it to bother starting.

Posted August 23, 2006 I refer you to this article on my good friend's website, EuroFusion. That doesn't prove anything though does it, i'm sure she means life without Harry as in the series is over and she doesn't have to write about him anymore. And the actor doesn't know anything, he's just speculating. I think he might die, but i'd rather it was a surprise that made people cry, mwahahaha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 23, 2006 I haven't read that many books lately. But over the summer holiday I read John Peel: Margrave of the Marshes and The Beach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 23, 2006 Harry Potter? Ive been reading through em over the years to keep up with the hype of the mainstream peeps (cheaper than getting a PS2 :P) and in my opinion the series peaked at book three and has been going downhill ever since. What you guys think? (most people have bound to have atleast tried Harry Potter to see what all the chatters about so dont bother denying it!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 23, 2006 I have just finished reading Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. The only book I haven't read by him is Decption Point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
