goldenratiophi Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'll be moving on to Moby @#$% in a few weeks.←My brother read that book. He said that there is very little story; most of the time, the main character person is just talking about whaling (quite boring). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tutankhamun Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 For school right now it's Cyrano de Burcauqe (sp). Story about the swordsman Cyrano with a big nose. Kinda not my type to read, then again none of the school books are. For my own reading I am reading Prey by Michael Crition. I finished reading Deception Point, and Digital Fortress a while ago which were both Dan Brown books. Great books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curufinwe Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 (KingTut ... it's Cyrano de Bergerac, a French classic ... Bergerac is a little town, 100 miles from where I live ... he is the local hero As for me, I read "Angels and Demons" lately ... and "the Foucault Pendulum" by Umberto Eco ...

King Tutankhamun Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 You're right. I forgot how to spell it. Later in class we're going to watch the movie Roxanne with Steve Martin, but now we are watching the old black and white movie. It has a neat story when you read through it and then see hte movie.

Curufinwe Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 (Gérard Depardieu shot a film a decade ago about Cyrano de Bergerac and it was quite a success over here. It was a very good film ... it is the original play made into a film ... a bit like the Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes ...

Red_08 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I just ran out of books (for the third time I've owned them ) and I bought another one from eBay. It's called Knights of the White Cross, and it's about the siege of Rhodes. (I think ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titus Ultor Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'm reading "Ancient Greek Civilization". It's thoroughly modern book (2004). The check-out lady's comment was that I was the first one to check it out. It was very thrilling, I promise you. I'm just now getting to the good part with Athens and Sparta, so I'm happy.

Paal_101 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'm reading "The Mycenaean World" by John Chadwick, very interesting look at the people involved in the creation of history's greatest myths and tales. I'm also mid-way through the Wheel of Time series. I've finished Book 8, ready to proceed with 9 at some point in the future. In addtion I recently finished reading Michael Chricton's Eaters of the Dead. Bad movie, great book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yiuel Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I'll be carefully re-reading my Japanese schoolbooks all summer long, and I'll go on for a strange reading as well : Tsubaki, from a Canadian-Japanese author. And I'll still day by day gaze through the Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Giant Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I've been reading all the books from Simon Scarrow's "Eagle" series again last week ("Under the Eagle", "Eagle's Conquest", "When the Eagle hunts", "The Eagle and the Wolves" - all about the Roman conquest of Britain from the perspective of a young Optio of the Legions), which was a lot of fun. I'm anxiously waiting for the release of the fifth "Eagle" book as paperback in June, and I'll be sure to get the English version from my bookstore no later than a week after it has been released Besides these, I haven't read much in recent times, because there were always other things to do (at least if my maths course-books do not count). Oh, and of course, computer literature, but mostly in online/ebook format, so these aren't really books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
