I’m also doing of mice and men… Must be something us british folk are being made to do.
I read Othello two years back, and The Great Gatsby last year. Both pretty good.
50 shades of grey is a nice book about the sky in Manchester.

The Bible.
Read it, would not recommend. Too much fiction pretending to be fact. The Earth is flat? It’s only 10,000 years old at best? Oh, and slavery, genocide, oppression of women, public executions of your (disobedient) son/s, and selling your daughter/s into slavery is okay?
Much more, but I think I already got enough dislikes for the review.
Fun reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_Bible
Also, The Great Gatsby is a SERIOUSLY boring book. Almost nothing happens and its about a crazy creepy guy.
And let the religious debate begin on a thread just asking about what books you’ve read and what is your personal favorite book is. >_> GG.
I don’t really read that often, but a book I really enjoyed was The Call of Prophecy. It’s a fantasy book that contained a lot of the races you’d expect. x) Dwarves, Elves, Human, Dragons, Etc.
As unlikely as it sounds, I have read parts of the bible, and from what I have read, the final chapter, revelations, is the most interesting to me.
To sum it up quickly, it’s basically Jesus pointing out flaws in people and telling them he will send them to hell if they don’t fix it. It then goes on to predict an apocalypse.
The reason this is interesting is that this chapter goes against the rest of the bible, which says you shall be forgiven for your sins.
Just something to think about.
Aaaand back on topic, the Dune trilogy by Frank Herbert is also an excellent read. I believe it’s the book that the film Avatar was based on. I will say, however, the book is a very difficult read. Not something you can just pick up for 5 minutes while you wait for a bus, you have to actually give it some time and effort for it to really make sense.
kind of. He is telling the people that they have sinned and will go to hell… BUT! he died on the cross so that all we have to do is believe that he died and ask him into our hearts. its sad how people think it is so hard to get into heaven but there is only on way through Christ. not by good works or needing to be baptized at birth.
The Bible is jam Packed! of really awesome real life stories! even if you do not believe in Christ read it it has amazing stories about, a man who built a ark when the whole earth flooded over, a man who was thrown in a lions den but was saved by God esc. esc.
Dammit kyle, beat me to it. I just read the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti monster, and it was hilarious having semi-read the bible once.
From a completely “I dont know if god exists or not, and either way I dont care” point of view, this book is actually pretty good. I mean sure, to most its the biggest fact book ever, and to others its a piece of fiction, but i’ll be damned if it aint a good read. Can’t say i’ve read it all, and I can’t say I agree with everything it says, but come on, it can’t be a bad book if its inspired a pretty damn big religion. I could turn this into a huge debate on religious tolerance but shit lets talk about books.
Metro 2033 is pretty good, I’ve not even played the game but the whole post apocalyptic but its not really as bad as it sounds but it still is pretty bad cause we all live underground is quite interesting. Metro 2034 isn’t as good but I’ve not finished it yet so hey, lets hope the end proves me wrong.
Lets not talk about religion.
so who here agrees with the current politics and society in general?

so who about them books guys, got another good read for you all, ender’s game. I have no idea how the movie is but the book is pretty damn good. It’s worth a read.
The movie isn’t anything special, but i want to read the book at some point or another.
If you are looking for a light and child friendly book, read how about Fifty Shades Of Grey.
I have not read it myself but I have heard nothing but good things about it.
I hope you never have children, for their sake.
Penguina… Did you just say Fifty Shades of Gray is child friendly?!?
Watch the movie if you can’t access the book.
Ahaha,The movie will be great for the kids to sit and watch… xD
It’s not for everyone, and while I did not like it, I would not say it’s a bad book.
Just because i book isn’t interesting to you doesn’t mean its a bad book. I once read a book called noughts and crosses. Personally I think its a great read and I suggest it to you all. However i have a friend that hates it so yanno.
