Re: what are you reading right now?

Well I started Vector Prime but never got around to finishing it... (Maybe during vacation) I'm reading Great Expectations for school as well

Re: what are you reading right now?

I was too slow, my reply was already taken.... I was going to say that I'm reading this thread right now.

Re: what are you reading right now?

Very clever answers you two :P Let me rephrase the question: What book are you reading right now?

Re: oaiuzserg

Hey, how do you like Great Expectations, bmilder? Fun, huh. I'm rereading various things, and am still slogging through Les Miserables unabridged (though not very constantly). If I could find my Sil I'd be reading that, but Gimli lost it... Other than that, I'm looking for ideas. Any good ones?

Fat Middle, I loved Dune!! Where are you at right now? How are you liking it? How many times does this make for LOTR?

Re: re: books

Dune was weird... I'm not reading any books right now, I can only read one thing at a time and right now I'm reading this message as I type it.

Re: books

I´m reading a book called Vägen till Jerusalem ( the road to Jerusalem ). It´s set during the Crusades and the events happen in Sweden. It´s very good and historically accurate.

For school i am supposed to read the pearl, but i dont want to so i wont. I was quized on the first 4 ch i didnt read. I got a 95 on the quiz and a b on the essay. My teacher said it was good butit lacked examples from the story. I have to finish the book and do a 3 essay project thing. I dont intend on reading it.

Re: nxdfng

Hey The Pearl is really great! When i finished my first LOTR i couldn´t find any worthy book... till i found The Pearl. Enjoy the first arriving to the city... Anduin: i don´t know how many times i´ve read LOTR. I often re-read single chapters of it and Sil (... and Hobbit ). But this is the fist time i read it in English: Ã*t´s awesome, but i still haven´t accustom to Frodo Baggins instead of Frodo Bolsón or Strider instead of Trancos... About Dune: yes it´s very weird but i´m enjoying a lot. Now Muad´Dib have just became a knight of the sand, riding his first sandworm. SoaH: Don´t you find many parallels between Dune and Star Wars? I´d like to see a little homage from Lucas to Dune in the prequels. I´m sure he has read the book.

Dune and SW

Fat Middle I agree with you about similarities between Dune and SW....after I finished reading it, I thought "I KNOW Lucas read this book." The Bene Gesserit are proof enough.....almost exactly like Jedi, except for the BG exclude males from their training. Are you reading Dune in English? Do you have either ICQ or IM?
