Speak? As in the book about the ninth-grade girl who gets assaulted, and has to come to terms with it? I love that book.Keero wrote:Been reading Twisted by the author who wrote Speak. Liking it, despite the 'guy' things that happen to the character when he thinks of a certain girl and some young adult stuff that wouldn't be nice for children. Fun book so far though.
Whatcha reading???

Yeah, that's the one. Twisted is about a teen who vandalizes the school, gets a bad rap, and is seen as part geek/badboy. He gets the girl but halfway through the book his reputation is shattered even more. Gotta love the school-aged drama.Trudogger wrote:Speak?

Mere Christianity
It's great, although I've only read about a quarter of it.

Mere Christianity is amazing. Period.
I'm starting up Dante's Inferno. This... should be interesting.
(I'm reading a literal translation by Kathryn Lindskoog for those of you that might want to know, Scott.)

I'm rereading the Lord of the Rings trilogy again.
Why? I have no freaking clue.......
I just had nothing else to read I guess.

1984
It's pretty good...but there's quite a bit of sexual content in it, that just ruins a good book.

1984 blew my mind in many ways. It's had more long-lasting effect on me than any other book I've ever read (excluding the Bible). I know what you mean about the sexual content... but... to an extent... it's absolutely fundamental to the ideology of Oceania within the book.tobymacdude wrote:1984

Been reading Ceremony, a great book by a Native author. Only around page 120, but wow, real gripping and paints a realistic view of life for people.

I'm actually really happy to see that people besides me have been influenced by Orwell's writing. 
I've been trying to read Cormac McCarthy's "All the Pretty Horses," but it just doesn't fit me right now. I think I'll either pick up Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Idiot" or W. Somerset Maugham's "Of Human Bondage" next.

You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling him about Mohammed in the same breath. You never mentioned one time the Man who came and died a criminal’s death...

Not really, but after reading all those titles that were hard to pronounce it seemed funny to put that there.
I'm reading Piercing the Darkness. By Frank Peretti.
Yeah, huge fan of Christian literature.
