What Are You Reading? - #2

I'm reading "Paladin of Souls" by Lois McMaster Bujold. It's the sequel to "The Curse of Chalion," which I didn't know when I started it, cause I'm dumb, so there's stuff I don't really understand. Things that have happened years before (in the first novel) and people and places. Whatever. This book is amazing.

 

After finishing P.J Tracy's Snow Blind on Wednesday (which was good until the bad ending), I'm now reading The Lost Army Of Cambyses by Paul Sussman. Synopsis:

 

I've just begun Criminalistics by Saperstein.

 

I read my favourite book, The Scarlet Pimpernel.

 

Im reading (again) '1984' by George Orwell. This book is my favourite.

 

"A long way down" by Nick Hornby.
Who knows him??

 

Got one more chapter of The Subtle Knife.
Then going onto Jane Eyre and a Rebus book too.

 

Nick Hornby is one of the best authors I've ever read. I love "High Fidelity" and "About a Boy," both of which were made into movies.

I haven't yet read "Fever Pitch," but the movie version was about the Boston Red Sox instead of soccer.

 

I finished Bare Bones by Kathy Reichs a couple days ago, and now I'm reading The Fourth K by Mario Puzo. It's a good book, but the beging is very slow, if it's anything like The Godfather it should be worth the read.

 

Really? I've not got around to buying the Snow Blind yet. It's a shame really as I enjoyed 'Want To Play' and 'Live Bait', 'Dead Run' wasn't so good, in my opinion.

I'm still reading 'A Faint Cold Fear', I've not had much time for reading the past couple of weeks. I received 'Turn Of Screw' in the post a few weeks ago. I was quite shocked, actually - it's about 40 pages long!

 

Yeah, the ending just felt rushed and I found it pretty unsatisfactory, though I won't say anymore because I don't wish to spoil it for you. It's been getting criticism over at Amazon too - the last time I checked, only a 3 star rating for it

And I agree about Dead Run too. The suspense was good and there was some great character development, but I think I was expecting something bigger and better in terms of the plot line. It was definitely less convoluted than Live Bait and Want To Play? (IMO).

Ah well...maybe their next novel will be better

 

"A long way down" is my first book from N. Hornby. But I gotta say I like his style of writing.

 

i'm reading 'The Da Linci Cod' or something along the lines of that... the parody of the da vinci code... i love it caus i hated the da vinci code! hehehe...

 

*snort* Nice one Kate I remember reading the parody of the Matrix called The Matwix, with the characters Newu, Titty and Amorphous :lol:

Ok, moving on...

 

I'm reading Communication Theories by Harris and Introduction to Communication Theories by Em Harris for my finals tomorrow.

Boring.
