Lazer Yoshi Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm currently reading Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, which is a compilation of stories based around the creatures that H.P. Lovecraft created. After I'm done reading it, I plan to move on to Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, hopefully to be followed by Misery by Stephen King.

SmartyKing Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 At the moment I’m reading The Dark by Ellen Datlow. This is wonderful ghost stories for the shivering delight of readers who are ready to be frightened. So far seems interesting to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 "Ulysses" by James Joyce. Toughie, but I'm getting into it. You don't "get into" that book. It's like the Black Sea, you just kinda float on top of it. Speaking of that, I just finished The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon, which was great.

NoshpalStefan Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Currently reading the Kite Runner, in all honesty amazing book, really gets you into it if you have the patience for books that aren't all about the action. Which, for me was rather difficult, because before reading Kite Runner I read Fight Club, and trust me, such a combo no one reader wants to make. O.o Embittered Moon, 1984 is a classic for its ideas but it's also horrid for its pacing. I've read the book and found a great interest in the ideas, but it simply feels like Orwell just kept writing and writing until his fingers hurt to the bone and then he kept writing just for the hell of it. I'm not going to say not to read it because it serves as a nice Literature classic and is very similar in the core concept to Brave New World, but be prepared for some serious yawning at parts. Ambrosia, Ulysses, um...good luck. The book is experimental literary genius but it is also a confusing pile of concept - more or less, Joyce attempted to put all literary genius into one book and to put forth all his ideas there, so if it gets cluttered, confusing, and messy, don't be surprised, it's supposed to be that way.

I, and most of the 180 people reading it at our school, would agree that we read it more like a textbook. But, i am starting to enjoy the characters themselves, but the book is overall a not-so-entertaining book, but we still have 2 more chapters and we are done with the whole book, does it get better at the climax/resolution?

Again, it's all very subjective, so I can't say much - I personally loved the entire book, so the climax was no exception to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serefin Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'm currently reading The Monstrumologist. It's very interesting due to being a horror book, and I'm really liking the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
