General Chat / What book are you reading at the moment?

Shakespeare easy to read and understand?! I have to read one page 5 times just to understand what it is saying. Then I forget it... Shakespeare is ment to be seen... Not read..

When the book has a modern synopsis on the left page and the actual play on the right, it's incredibly easy to understand.
The language isn't that hard to understand if you break it down into smaller pieces though.

Angels & Demons by Dan Brown..very interesting book about a historical antichrist/religion cult, or something like that. I'm a really slow reader, I've only read 142 pages of 572. 

Quite an excellent book by an excellent fact based fiction author. Dan Brown really knows how to mend together complex plot sequences well and it shows in this books and another of his books 'The Da Vinci Code.' He also wrote two other books besides 'Angels and Demons' and 'The Da Vinci Code.' The other two are 'Digital Fortress' and 'Deception Point.' Read them both and you'll like Dan Brown even more.

Whats that new book Da Vinci's code I think it's called. I heard it was all abotu the bible and truths and discrepencies in it. Anyone heard anything about it or better yet, anyone read it? I really wanna check that one out.

Homer's The Odyssey - What couldn't be wrong with this book other than it makes me feel mentally inable to do anything... I have to spend energy to read this book. 5 miniutes to understand one page of flashbacks...God shoot me...

Hyperion

Yeah, I heard about it. It's supposedly very anti-religious. Apparently, it talks about how Jesus was married to Mary of Magdala and they had a child together? I want to read that, on my list of things to do.

Going through my 3rd reading of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (5th year) at the moment. Supposed to be reading Huck Finn for school - book report due Monday - but I'm going SparkNotes for that as I haven't started. I basically know the stories, meanings and controversies anyway.

Only nerds read books.

Your joking right?

I just finished up reading Timeline by Michael Crichton.

I just finished A Clockwork Orange... and before that was The Color Purple.

Right now, I just started the book Ordinary People, and next up is Farenheit 451. I'm not reading anything for school firght now.

Jacko If you like Farenheit 451 (which is Bradbury if Im not having a brain fart), Read the Martian Chronicles.
That book really screwed with my head, in a good way. Very weird but very enjoyable, if you like that sorta thing.

Ray Bradbury owns.

Now I'm reading, in lack of better, "The red house mystery" by A. A. Milne. It's actually pretty entertaining.

A multi-biography on the worlds most violent serial killers - morbid huh?
