rilo8913 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I've just finished reading 1984 by George Orwell and Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankel. Both were very interesting books and I highly recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandilambi Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yes, I have seen the movie. I liked it, although Kiera Knightley is just about my least fave actress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaurora Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 to the peeps who put the picture of the book! 3 pages already - the MFC is an intelligent bunch I read 2-3 books a day lol oh my goodness! I normally do one a week, but 2 to 3 a day!! I would have to take the books to work to read at my desk LOL (I have done that before ) Yes, I have seen the movie. I liked it, although Kiera Knightley is just about my least fave actress. She doesn't rate too highly on these forums! I find her expressions amusing - and how she only ever has one mouth shape, 'pouted lips, parted slightly' LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I find her facial expressions painful to watch. She actually makes herself look ugly when she does that thing when she juts out her lower jaw. Blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kates Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Well I haven't read any books yet this year. I started Gone With the Wind last year and just finished it. It was so good..read it if you haven't. Now I'm reading The Great Gatsby for school. Could you tell me what Gone With the Wind is about? I'm considering reading it:wub2: I'm in the middle of 'The Secret Life of Bees' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*carrie* Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Could you tell me what Gone With the Wind is about? I'm considering reading it:wub2: I'm in the middle of 'The Secret Life of Bees' Here's something I found. The epic tale of a woman's life during one of the most tumultuous periods in America's history. From her young, innocent days on a feudalistic plantation to the war-torn streets of Atlanta; from her first love whom she has always desired to three husbands; from the utmost luxury to absolute starvation and poverty; from her innocence to her understanding and comprehension of life I probably just like it so much because it's set in Georgia and that's where I live.

nicole Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 That I had to read for school. Can't say I really liked it, I even skipped some pages. It wasn't horrible though. This book I also had to read for school, but it was much more interesting. I would read it again. I read My Booky Wook last year, but at the end of the year, so I just wanted to mention that. *drools all over the place* I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipopski Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I've only read two hole books yet: and anotherone named "Liljecronas hem" (loved the last one) both by Selma Lagerlöf. I've also started reading "Kaos" and "Gäst hos verkligheten" by Per Lagerkvist but not been able to finish anyone of them cuz I get all confused. Sorry, I didn't found the names of these books in english. I need to read a book by an nobel prize winner soon. Any good recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greta Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Oooooooh they are indescribable. fantastic. I must read them in english... I'm currently reading: Why is it allways about you? Saving yourself from the narcissists in your life - Sandy Hotchkiss: It's interesting. I've got people kind of close to me that seem to be narcissists. and I think I've got some traits that may be considered as narcissitic. uhu. and Around the world in 80 days - julius verne. A lot of words that are hard to understund in it... good for me I guess. Those two books will be finished in a month or so ... I haven't got the time to read a lot. ahah, a book about narcisism!..everytime I read psychological stuff like that I convince myself to be surrounded by idiots..it's not good! I was obsessed with Julius! his adventure books are so futuristic for the time he wrote them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjoshi Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 OMG how do you people do this ? i mean read. i cannot read at all. This may sound strange but i don't think i have ever read a single book in my entire LIFE. yeah sad but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalas Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 ahah, a book about narcisism!..everytime I read psychological stuff like that I convince myself to be surrounded by idiots..it's not good! I was obsessed with Julius! his adventure books are so futuristic for the time he wrote them! Oooh yeah I know! all people just seem to be nuts. hahaha. And really, they are never giving you an easy way to categorize people. You are bound to be suspisous about everything. It's kind of hard not beeing a proffesional! how should I know what depends on normal persinality compared to "a very big shame that is first known in age 1-3"?! hehe. I've only read four chapters in around the world ... I'm currently (also) reading the wall (le mur) by jean paul sartre, also, and I must finish it first. I'm re-reading it for a school project. but I've only got like 40 pages left . soon verne again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I didn't found the names of these books in english. I need to read a book by an nobel prize winner soon. Any good recommendations? Jag har läst "gäst hos verkligheten". Den är liksom väldigt intellektuell och dessutom gammal, så den är svår att förstå. Läste ett utdrag ur sartres "varat och intet" nu till mitt filosofiprojekt, och det är lite samma kaliber på dem. Man använde ju en helt annan begreppsvärld på den tiden och det märks verkligen när man läser... Fast jag gillade den ändå. Den är uppfriskande i sin civilisationskritik. Av nobelpristagare som jag läst gillar jag Albert Camus. Också en fransk existensialist. Både "pesten" och "främlingen" är bra. Herrman Hesse är också trevlig, "siddharta", "glaspärlespelet" och "stäppvargen" är alla bra. Glaspärlespelet, och till viss del också stäppvargen är dock ganska tunga. Siddharta är mer "själsfeelgood". Även "En dag i Ivan Denisovitjs liv" av Alexander Solsjenitsyn är frutansvärt bra. Man fattar verkligen hur otrolig människan är som härdar ut i koncentrationsläger. Har inte läst så många andra nobelpristagare faktiskt... Är en latis! Good luck . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
