Saw the what are you listening to right now thread and decided to create this. Go! Even if it does progress more slowly. Doesn't even have to be a book, it can be a comic or a manga or a graphic novel or anything you read that forms a story. Memnoch the Devil - Anne Rice. Also starting, Next - Michael Crichton.

I'm currently re-reading some of my favourite books, and I strongly recommend that some of you guys read 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night'.

I've been told twilight is horrible. Artemis fowl was ok, I read a couple of them when I was younger. But I wouldn't now. I'm not going to even try twilight at all. Sparkling vampires just isn't something that clicks with me. That, and the fact that it is complete and utter fanservice. And there are always books to read, or study. Reading books you've already read is always a good idea, unless you've got photographic memory of course.

Artemis Fowl was good, my fav of those would have to be "The Eternity Cube." I'm currently enjoying "Azumanga Daioh" (Volumes 1-4 - the mega book!), and will be picking up "Mahou Sensei Negima" (On chapter 178)

For a nonifiction book report we had to find a book at schools library that was non fiction. I quickly went to the sports section and found some old things. The newest Sports illustrated almanac's were like 2004. They had kids and regular so i chose kids since it was shorter. So im reading sports illustrated for kids 2004

Brave New World. Reasons? 1. Distopian futures are mega awesome (the other book I chose for our Independent Reading Project in English was 1984) 2. I'm gonna have to read it when I'm a senior anyway. 3. Justin Rushin, the coolest kid in school, told me it was awesome. So yeah. I only read past the second chapter, though. They electrocute babies so they don't like flowers or books.

Brave New World. Reasons? 1. Distopian futures are mega awesome (the other book I chose for our Independent Reading Project in English was 1984) I'm a big fan of dystopian futures too. Have you seen the movie Brazil? I HIGHLY recommend it. No. You don't understand. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Go get it. I'll wait. Also, I'm working on a short film myself in my spare time, being slowly cobbled together, which is my own ultimate dystopian future. This world is about as bad as you can get. I recently put up a new trailer for it, it's a short one, so give it a peek: http://www.thelibrarychronicles.com/video/bptrailer.mov Back on topic, I've just started Dr. Strange and Mr. Norrell, after having just finished Oliver Twist. Haven't gotten into Strange-Norrell yet, and I'm never a fan of footnotes, and this one is heavily footnoted, but I hear it gets good after a bit. I love the concept and the period too.

I wonder if anyone else has the same problem as me. I can't read fiction books. whenever I do I get a nagging feeling that I could be learning something instead. It's just books though. Not games of films for some reason. I can only read non-fiction books so I read alot on Middle East history and politics. It's a fascinating subject that seems to have limitless depths and complexities to delve into. I'm currently reading a book on Hamas call Hamas In Politics by Jeroen Gunning. Anyone else have the same problem?

Not games of films for some reason... Anyone else have the same problem? Not at all! Lordy. I can't stomach too many non-fictions in a row. Some are light fun, some are so utterly fascinating I can't peel my eyes off (Ray Kurzweil anyone?), but many read like textbooks. I tend to alternate. 2 non-fictions, 2 fictions (or a series), somewhere along there. My shelves are packed with varieties of both that I haven't dug into yet. But there is a delightfully refreshing feeling of cracking open an unread fiction book after a string of non-fic. Getting to know new characters, settling into another universe for a while.

I just finished The Road of Bones by Anne Fine. It took me around 2 hours, but was pretty good.

Reading "Mythology" by Edith Hamilton. It's absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Highly recommended if you're at all interested in Greek Mythology.

One of my favorite books is The Heathen's Guide to the Rapture. Though if you're strongly religious, I wouldn't suggest it. Its not all that long, either, maybe 200 pages.

Anyone else have the same problem? I have a similar problem. When I was a teen I was reading around 5-10 books every 2 week. My library card was always at full capacity. I read SO MUCH that I got generally bored of reading if that's even possible. Today I can't only read informative books about very specific subject that truly interest me. Anything else and my attention span simply isn't there anymore and I stop reading. .

I read that book years ago, though you probably are referring to something else. Not bad, but I didn't like it all that much.
