Br3tt Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Sure a few of you guys would have read this but just thought that I would recommend, definitely a favourite book of mine! - Ready Player One - "In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines—puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them. But when Wade stumbles upon the first clue, he finds himself beset by players willing to kill to take this ultimate prize. The race is on, and if Wade's going to survive, he'll have to win—and confront the real world he's always been so desperate to escape." There's a cool blog here based on the book -http://readyplayerone.com/ And you can grab a copy on Amazon UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ready-Player-One-Ernest-Cline/dp/0099560437US - http://www.amazon.com/Ready-Player-One-A-Novel/dp/0307887448 Anyone read the book? Would love to know your thoughts, I've read it a few times now and can't put it down! Enjoy! Brett 6 Quote Link to comment

CajunHufflepuff Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 YASSS. Also I have to recommend the audiobook because Wil Wheaton is just the perfect narrator for this nerdy 80's loving book <3 2 Quote Minalo StoutarmMy Rebel IntroBase Character: Deep HalflingDesired Class: DruidLevel: 0 I STR 0 I DEX 0 I STA 0 I CON 0 I WIS 0 I CHA 0 IMy Battle LogChallenges: 1 Weight Loss206--->145 (At 197 as of 1/28/2016) 13.5%13.5% Link to comment

Oh Beep Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Hahaha...if a book can affect me in a real physical way, then it must be half decent. Not giving away spoilers. Part of Wade's story brought in a massive panic attack. Yes, I am such a massive nerd - panic attacks and all. Still, despite that, enjoying the book. Quote Link to comment

Dontonbori Raider Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 The audio book with WIl was great. Armada wasn't bad but I don't think it was as good as Ready Player One but still a fun read. Quote Previous Challenge #1, 2 Link to comment
Oh Beep Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Not finished yet, but this is already a firm favourite. Been recommending it to anyone who'll listen Quote Link to comment

Can't wait for the movie! There's going to be a movie? I am tempted to buy the audio version now. Gave the original book away after reading it and loving it so much. I am not really good at audio books, but maybe it'd inspire me to go for long runs... 1 Quote Link to comment
