pyjamazombie Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 THAT'S impressive. Those books are massive. It takes me months to get through them. Haha! They ARE! All I did for the past two weeks was read them. Which is why I had to put them down. I was like "Jess. You're still in school, and you haven't answered your phone in days. Everyone thinks you're dead" 4 Quote Link to comment

Jothra Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I'm cruising through the old Target novelization of Doctor Who and the Ark In Space. It's absolutely an easy read, but it's actually a lot of fun (and surprisingly a more visceral horror story than the original serial). Next up: S by J.J. Abrams and Doug Dorst. 2 Quote Jothra i | ii | iii | iv | v | vi | vii | viii Link to comment
Jittersthe.Clown Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 God's Debris - Scott Adams. A good quick read that gives the brain a bit to think about.

Machete Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Strength Training Anatomy Workout by Frédéric Delavier. A lot of fitness snobs would probably scoff at it.EDIT: I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless it's required reading. Cool drawings though.

Kaylya Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Just finished the Millenium Trilogy (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo etc), because, you know, I like to read what was popular last decade . Really enjoyed them, as soon as I finished the 2nd one I went and got the third one.. 2 Quote "None of us can choose to be perfect, but all of us can choose to be better." - Lou Schuler, New Rules of Lifting for Women Link to comment
Bearded_Dragon Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Finished American Gods over the weekend, well done you guys, it was an amazing recommendation! Really enjoyed it! Currently reading Fatal Flaws by Jay Ingram. Like to mix it up and go non-fic every now and then. 3 Quote Link to comment
Lexi Cal Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Just finished Tenth of December by George Saunders (short stories). Fascinating characters and stories throughout. Now I'm starting The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco, in French (Le Nom de la rose). Quote Link to comment
MariahSnow Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 Just finished The Walking Dead Compendium 1. Pondering buying Compendium 2 but... Just started Doctor Sleep by Stephen King, the sequel to The Shining. Not far into it yet, but it's interesting. Part of me wishes I'd read The Shining again but the rest of me has a very strong reaction against that since it was borderline traumatic the first time around... 1 Quote Amazon Warrior 29, F, 5'11 ft, 159lbs #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 Link to comment

Jothra Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 S will have to wait. I had a rough Sunday. I need light humour, so Three Men On the Bummel it is! “The box you bought [the bike saddle] in had a picture on the cover, representing a sitting skeleton—or rather that part of a skeleton which does sit.†He said: “It was quite correct; it showed you the true position of the—†I said: “We will not go into details; the picture always seemed to me indelicate.†He said: “Medically speaking, it was right.†“Possibly,†I said, “for a man who rode in nothing but his bones.

Lexi Cal Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Has anyone read a good "pick me up" book? I'd recommend P. G. Wodehouse (anything with Jeeves is always hilarious), Terry Pratchett (The Discworld series, if you like fantasy), or Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome. Just thinking about those books makes me smile Quote Link to comment
EvillePanda Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm a fan of Gail Carriger. It's a bit romancy, but very tongue in cheek. Quote "I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer.

Jerem The Great Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Reading Alas, Babylon by Pat Frank. It's a look at what might have happened in the Cold War if the USSR had struck hard with their nuclear arsenal, following people from a small town called Fort Repose in Florida. The most interesting part for me is the differences between the reactions of the adults, for whom war was never the norm, only an exception in short bursts of their lives, and the teen and pre-teen, who are noted to have lived with the spectre of death at their door all their lives. So far, it's very good! 3 Quote Jerem The GreatLevel 0 Satyr. Warrior at heart, training with the RecruitsSTR 0|DEX 0|STA 0|CON 0|WIS 0|CHA 0 Link to comment
