Yea, I stood and read a few pages over at the bookshop and the book doesn't really interest me much.

I'm reading "The Devils Picnic by Taras Grescoe" now by the way.

Just got neverwhere by neil gaiman and magician by raymond e. feist. couldn't find anansi boys softcover anywhere ...

and i dunno if magician is the compilation of both the magician books, magician: apprentice and magician: master... all it says is that this contains 15000 "missing text" from previous versions...

most of what it says in the book is true... after i compare it to my previous experiences

I think you got the 'extra' version. You se, magician was released as one book, but it was too think for many publishers so they split it into masters and apprentice. Later, when the book got famous and Raymond E. Fiest got enough power to do so, he decided to readd the pages that got truncated from his original draft. Thats the 15000 missing text.

Recently I picked up a few discworld books. I've been sniggering during lectures again (fyi I get most of my reading done during lectures.) and people have been looking at me funny again. Sigh...

wat is ur fav book? can rekemen to me... havent read books for leisure for quite some time, since bz with study... i love to read self help books (karen salmansohn, richard carlson... etc)... robert t.kiyosaki's... novels (virginia andrews, sidney sheldon, nicholas sparks)... i havent read donald trump's book yet... has anyone read it..? is it as good as T.Kiyosaki's?

share ur fav books... mayb i can check them out....

thanks!

If you haven't read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller yet, do give it a try. Absolutely hilarious.

Instant phails. You don't read books that obviously isn't written by the actual person himself. You also do NOT read books that obviously sells based on the popularity of the said person in reality shows.

Discworld! Really twisted humor those books.. But it's a good read though. The last one I read was about death playing father christmas. Now that's ironic

So no one's been reading any new books recently?

I just finished The Lord of Chaos of The Wheel of Time.

I must say, I'm impressed! I wanna be an Asha'man!

Let's see

What am I reading at this particular moment?

Title

The Secrets of Economic Indicators: Hidden Clues to Future Economic Trends and Investment Opportunities By: Bernard Baumohl

Review

Well, it's explains the cause and effect of economic indicators in the market today. Allows you to understand economic trends and investment opportunities from various reports released from each respective government.

The book is boring and it's full of numbers. I like it.

tyr reading eragon and eldest by christopher paolini

Does anyone read John Grisham's books? What do you guys think about his books? I've read six of his books. In my opinion, his most well-written books are The Firm and The Client. I'm reading The Street Lawyer now. Any recommendations?

robert jordan gave me the headaches.... i stopped at lord of chaos and couldn't continue.

been doing all 30 odd books of terry pratchett (discworld + misc) which i say they're pretty good.

The Wheel of Time can get pretty...twisted?

Terry Pratchett is an aquired taste. His jokes can be either really funny. Or really dry

Read the Hog-something (hog father was it? Death playing Santa). Thought it was pretty good. But it's not dark enough for my liking. Hehe

that one my good man is the 'hogfather'.. dark would probably meant gaiman stuff. Good omens is a good collaboration though. Chuck palahnuik - stranger than fiction/fightclubg, i find that one pretty depressively interesting, like watching an alligator eating a pig... ugly but fascinating. hehehehe

Sounds like interesting stuff...

Gonna give it a try after my fantasy stint

Ohhh! Just found this club! I LOVE reading. Practically goes to Borders Times Square every day during the semester break to read. I can finish a book in a day there.

This month I have spend all my money on Princess Diaries Book 1 - 6 and a good fantasy book call Percy Jackson & The Olympians, The Lightning Thief. It's about Greek Myth clash with modern days. Quite cool!

I love Meg Cabot's book, which is Princess Diaries series, Avalon High & Teen Idol. I wanna try The Mediator but unfortunately Borders dont have book 1 - 4 in the stock.

I also loves HP series. Read them all. Looking forward to book 7 next year!

Sounds like on the path to chic lits. personally i think Borders are ok... heck they had some of the titles i'm looking for.

The downside is how they lump the book categories (this is a personal preference) i feel kino's better in distinguishing the type of books u looking for.

Just finished prattchet's Mostrous Regiment. on Chapter 3 of gaiman's Anansi Boys.
Interestingly, anyone read Gao XinJiang - One Man's Bible? Finished that... the book is about bonking..
