Liraele Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ooo, I've been curious about that one. It is definitely interesting...and makes me wish I had the space to grow all of my own food. O.o Link to comment
Coconut Twin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Not a book but interesting nonetheless... link removed Link to comment
FYI Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Disasters that shook the world. It's a Time magaine. Very interesting. Link to comment
LillyLooWho Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Life of Pi by Yann Martel Great book but I didn't like the end. Link to comment
MizzGee Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Great book but I didn't like the end. I'm not sure how I felt about the end.. Definitely made me think... I'm going to read it again and see how it is the second time around. It seems like one of those books where you discover something new every time you read it. And I love those kind of books haha Link to comment

And I love those kind of books haha Yes, it was such a weird premise and yet, it worked....even the part about the algae island which I tried to explain to a friend of mine and he looked at me like I had three heads. I kind of felt like the end was..I don't know, just not fulfilling...not to ruin the book for anyone! It is definitely a good read Link to comment
LillyLooWho Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I forgot to say what book I am reading. I am reading "On Food and Cooking". It is a book about the chemistry and history of food. It is very interesting. It's not like the kind of book you sit down and read straight through. I guess you could but I read it in short bits. It's a pretty thick book because it covers everything. I'm reading about honey and how the bees make it honey. Next chapter is on brewing and how we started making liquor. Link to comment
Ferrero Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 The Green Mile by Stephen King. I've seen the movie but the novels are always better. I'm about 20 page in to Chapter 1. The next book I'd like to read is called Trafficked by Sophie Hayes. Apparently its a brilliant read! Link to comment
imsuperman Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 ^Loved that book! I read it in the summer between seventh and eighth grade. Link to comment
Donovan79 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Man, I remember spending the summer that The Green Mile came out on an island that didn't get the last three monthly installments of the story. I'd take the ferry one hour to the mainland and bike another hour to the locate bookstore to get them. The last page of the last one was powerful. Link to comment
LillyLooWho Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The next book I'd like to read is called Trafficked by Sophie Hayes. Apparently its a brilliant read! I looked this up and wow! What a story. Looks really interesting but horrific too. I'm not sure if I can handle reading it but I am totally intrigued. Link to comment
Liraele Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Anathema - Megg Jensen Self-pubbed e-book... I pick them up for free on Amazon regularly in the hopes of discovering new favorites... it happens sometimes. Good story, needs some editing. Just finished Under the Dome by Stephen King. That thing is a monster. (But was pretty good.) Link to comment
Donovan79 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Just started re-reading after 10 years. Still one of the funniest / mind-breaking books I've ever read. image removed Link to comment
blueidealist24 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I started reading Innocent Traitor by Alison Weir. It's about Lady Jane Grey. I may actually be finishing it tonight, I usually can't put books down once I start lol, just took a quick break! Link to comment
Ferrero Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I've just finished the green mile and now I've started the Hunger Games. I'm about 100 pages into it and its awesome!! Wow, awesome but a very twisted and sadistic story line. Link to comment
Donovan79 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 If anyone's looking for a good horror read I can't recommend this more -- I've never read anything that is so addictively terrifying. image removed PS: Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the thumbnail after I edit a post where I accidentally post one? There doesn't seem to be a way to make them go away and I hate 'em. Link to comment
Liraele Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've just finished the green mile and now I've started the Hunger Games. I'm about 100 pages into it and its awesome!! Wow, awesome but a very twisted and sadistic story line. Loved the Hunger Games trilogy. It is one of those that you'll sit there at the end thinking... "Well, now what?!" One of those that you know has to end, but you really don't want it to. Link to comment
PlayingAces Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen. Link to comment
Donovan79 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 A friend at work gave me Fifty Shades of Grey two months ago or so. I read it. It was awful. Gave up after the first book. And yet every day I see girls on the train platform clutching onto one of the later sequels. "Oh my." "Geez." "Holy crap." "Oh my." "Holy crap." "Geez." "My inner goddess did a backflip." "Holy crap." "Geez." Shudder. Link to comment

I have a feeling I'll read the book and roll my eyes almost the entire time. Guess we'll see! Link to comment

Oh God. The "eye-rolling" was another thing she repeated over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over. I looked it up on Wikipedia after I read it and turns out it was originally written as Twilight fan fiction that she put online for free, but then the makers of Twilight told her to take it down so she just changed the main character from a vampire to a billionaire and the names and left the rest pretty much the same. Which is exactly how it reads. Link to comment
ApocalypseDreams Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 A New Earth - Eckhart Tolle The title is a bit cheesy, and some of it is abit new age. The chapters on ego, self and pain bodies is really interesting though. Link to comment
blueidealist24 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The Kingmaker's Daughter by Philippa Gregory - I haven't got too far, but it's good, like her other books Link to comment
Grace696 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Just started re-reading after 10 years. Still one of the funniest / mind-breaking books I've ever read. image removed Chris have you read Quicksilver? I got about a quarter of the way through, and was loving it, but then I went through my breakup and I couldn't concentrate on reading. And I think I actually left my copy at the ex's, so have never picked it up again. But it was very cool. I'm currently reading Alice Munro's "The View From Castle Rock". Another brilliant writer who makes it all look too easy. Link to comment
