Books You Have Read in 2008

[Mici]

I've just finished reading this biography book on David Walliams & Matt Lucas, after it was sitting in my shelf for nearly a year.

 

Now i am reading 'The Coma' by Alex Garland

[Oakie Doke]

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.

 

Wow, yeah a little sad. I don't read for fun or in my spare time, I read to fall asleep. Otherwhiles I lie there awake, thinking about who knows what, but after reading a couple of chapters I drop off . But it means it takes me a while to get through books.

 

This year I finished Russell Brand's Bookie wook... It was awesome!!! Everyone should get it!

 

*sigh*

I have a friend who is Russel Brand-obsessed. She has ordered a "borrow out" copy to force people (ie. me) to read, because she doesn't want anyone else to touch her precious. I can't wait. (... I can)

 

Now i am reading 'The Coma' by Alex Garland

 

Oh, I read the "The Beach" by him, what's this one about? Good so far?

[mandilambi]

Wow, I can't imagine never reading an entire book. That's crazy to me. I love reading books...

Just finished this

 

 

I thought it was a new book but it was written like 20 years ago it was still good though. I usually dislike old Koontz novels and prefer the newer ones.

i finished reading interview with the vampire (even though ive read it before)

 

im currently reading 20th century ghosts by joe hill, as it took me a week to read his other book, heart shaped box because it was so good

 

I loved the first two vampire books by her. The rest are not good. Each one is worse than the last one.

 

I read an Iggy Pop bio called Iggy Pop: Open up and bleed. It was good but it had a naked picture of him and I didn't know it. I was reading along and all of a sudden there was Iggy in all his glory. It has some David Bowie in it too. It kind of had to. You can't tell the story of Iggy's life without talking about Bowie.

Wow I thinm there is something incredibly wrong with me. I love reading books, but i haven't read any books for like, 4 months or something:shocked:

[sienna]

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?

 

Om det räknas att läsa gamla nobelpristagare så kan jag varmt rekommendera John Steinbeck -62, mina absoluta favoriter är Buss på villovägar och Resa med Charlie. Men alla hans böcker är klassiker mer eller mindre.

Och bra, dessutom lättlästa.

Om du vill läsa en svensk, Harry Martinsson -74, säkert är han bra, jag menar han fick ju nobelpriset:bleh: men personligen tycker jag han är lite tung (men säg för all del inte det till någon svensklärare det gjorde jag, inte så lyckat!)

 

Och sen finns ju förstås William Golding -83, han med Flugornas herre. (Lord of the Flies, som Mika:wub2: har nämnt i en intervju, handlar om kvalificerad mobbing)

Tack för tipsen Nu blir det nog så att jag ändå använder mig av Herr Arnes Penningar av Selma (jag frågade min lärare och han tyckte att jag för all del kunde analysera den) men jag ska absolut kolla upp de andra böckerna

 

Flugornas Herre låter intressant men nu råkar det vara så att mer än halva min klass har valt just den boken och det känns lite halvt tråkigt att läsa samma som alla och sen tror jag inte att min lärare kommer uppskatta dussintals analyser om samma bok.

I ONLY FINISHED TWO BOOKS!

it's because... because well i dont have much time to read!

 

[Mici]

Oh, I read the "The Beach" by him, what's this one about? Good so far?

 

Sorry, i have just seen your post now, the book is about a guy who get hurt in a train rubbery and gets into a coma. The story is moving from fantasy to reality in a way that you dont know which is what, i find it very intesting read.

 

Right now i am reading Atonement, very good book as well is the movie.

[avoca]

so far I have been reading only the two nurse matilda books (techincally children books, but enjoyable). author christianna brand.

 

plus, I'm still struggling through the ever-so-awful jonathan strange and mr norrell by susanna clarke.

 

spent a fortune on it, it's like 1600 pages or smt along that line. most boring book i have ever read, or trying to read. I have been having it for 2 years: this gives ya an idea of my determination..
