Anybody here a reader? Anything to share about past or present books? Or hell, literature of any format, be it internet, comic book, newspaper, magazine, or anything else.

ATM, I have a huge reading list that I'm slowly grinding through. As much as I'd like to be at the moment, however, I'm not one of those people who goes through a book every week...

Mah list:

McQueen by William F. Nolan
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remerque (I found this one in a trash can at my school :/)
Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy
Blackjack-33 by James C. Donahue
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens
The War of the Worlds by H.G.Wells
Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose
Fallen Eagle by Harold E. Wills
Snow Falcon by Craig Thomas
Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons
Total Titanic by Marc Shapiro
America's Last Days by Douglas Mackinnon
Star Wars: The Han Solo Adventures by Brian Daley
  • Han Solo at Stars End
  • Han Solo's Revenge
  • Han Solo and the Lost Legacy

Peter Pan by J. M. Barrie
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden
The Secret Sharer by Joseph Conrad

Many clans (like our past affiliate, the ODL) have been literally hacked and destroyed simply because of some stupid clan war. I wouldn't necessarily want to get into that, but we have to have some kind of WiFi action. I think inter-clan prevents most of that.

Glad to see that you're back. ;)

I haven't read anything new since the last Harry Potter book. Even in school I've happened to get slacker teachers as my English teacher the last couple of years. :P

Wow... Dscuber's got the same idea. For the longest time, all I read were Star Trek books. I even stopped reading those. I hate that I don't read. I'm thinking of getting back into it though. It'll probably help me focus on my writing.

However, I would be very particular of my readings:
Philosophical things (Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Buddha, Nietzsche are my main interests)
The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
Mythology books
Icelandic Sagas
Other books about Vikings
A Clockwork Orange
Post Apocalyptic books (good ones)
Books about zombies
Maybe interesting Astronomy, Paranormal/Cryptozoology books
Epic Poems (Gilgamesh, Odyssey, Beowulf, Divine Comedy, Paradise Lost, King Arthur and others)
Other classical literature (Shakespeare stuff and more)
The Bible

Those are where my interests are.

I like Kawagner, lots of enlightening material there. I can't believe I forgot to put down the Bible. I definitely need to read that one of these days.

I heard something a while back saying that the average American spends four hours watching TV daily. Four hours.Daily. Can you imagine how different things could be if people spent that time reading instead?

I also just thought of "Origin of Species" and "Mein Kampf" to read.

I need to read "Mein Kampf" too. Does "Origin of Species" read like a normal book would?
