BOOOKSSSS!!!

[Takun]

Ok, I just finished reading a series of good books. Heres a list,
1)Looking for Alaska
2)Impulse
3)Burned

All three are great. No lie, they're the kind of books that give you lessons and make you cry at the same time. Im not one to cry but at the end of Impulse and Burned, a single tear streamed down my manly face. And in the middle of Looking for Alaska I got pretty choked up. Number 2 and 3 are very intense. I dont suggest you read them if you cant face life's issues. And number 1 is just a flat out good book. One of the best Ive read in a long time.
Any who, if you guys want to discuss some good books you've read lately or ever, or just talk about the books. POST IT HERE!

Well, a topic I previously started was about Daniel Quinn's books. Therefore, I don't think I need to explain Ishmael to you guys. ;)

I'm slaving away to finish the Stephen King collection by 2009.

43 books left to go.  I can put away the 400 pagers in a week or less, depending on my momentum.

But on to the specific book talk.  I just finished Christine.  It was a really suspenseful book.

I'm reading Russell Brand's Autobiography:
My Booky Wook.

It's great.

I read Acceleration by Graham McNamee. It was good. It had serial killers, child abuse, animal abuse, people dying... I personally really liked it. It was about a murderer who lost his diary on the Subway, and a kid who was helping to run the Lost and Found there found it. At first he thought it was a joke, but...

Oh, and Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher was really good. It's about a girl who killed herself. She recorded 8 tapes, each side having a different reason for why she killed herself-different people. And they were to be shipped in order to the next person. It's from the point of view of her secret admirer.

I love Stephen King. I watch a lot of his movies but the only two books by him that Ive read are The Shining and The Long Walk. Acceleration sounded good! I might look for that one at Barnes and Noble. Impulse has a lot of suicide and death in it. The books by Helen Hopkins are usually very intense. Thirteen Reasons Why sounded cool too.

I got a collection of Poe, and man, I want to write just like him! I don't think need to tell you about his stories, they are the best!

[Hi no Seijin]

I have a really thick book of Poe's writings, but I think it's in a box up in the attic.  I ought to go up there and get it down some day.  And while I'm up there, I can find the rest of my Calvin and Hobbes books.

[Takun]

I own so many Calvin and Hobbs books. And Poe is good too. I like Raven, that one with the still beating heart under the floorboards, and this other one about winged seraphs taking away his bride.

I like Junie B. Jones. Reading a book in which the main character uses horribly bad English improved my literary skills.

I used to read Junie B. Jones when I was younger.

Just finished with the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix. Great read if you're in the mood for something a bit dark.

Just finished "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time," it's about a 15 year old autistic boy who's trying to solve the murder of his neighbour's dog.

Also, "Shark Girl." It's about an artist who gets her right arm amputated above the elbow.

And, "10 Things to do Before I Die." Pretty self explanitory.

Ah, you read that? I love that book.

[Keaton]

I hated that book.

Books are from the devil.
