DEATHSTARS OFFICIAL FORUM

^ I am planning to read it after "The farewell to arms", but I can not decide if I want to read it or not, because if it is like too romantic and sensitive book, there is possibility that I will not like it...

^ To Kill A Mockingbird? No, it's not romantic... not sure what you mean by sensitive, but... first, it's told through the point of view of a 8 years old girl, who is too young for any romance, so no, nothing romantic. And the whole conflict is far from romantic either. I'd give it a try, for sure.

I started reading American Psycho, but decided to quit after about one third, it was so giving me a bad feeling, too much cruelty, including animal cruelty. I expect cruelty against humans, is about a serial killer.. but to have him jump upon the front legs of a little dog and so crushing them, and leaving the dog like that, that's only one example of something I hated. So no more.
Picked up Robin Cook's Abduction, first time reading something by this author, is okay so far but haven't gotten far yet, is more a sci-fi book than his usual work.

Also got Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita today at the library, wanted to read that one for a while and couldn't find anything else.. so.

"language - thinking - reality" by benjamin lee whorf
it's about language philosophy (my fav part of that field currently)...pretty damn interesting...if one could make money with this, i'd so study it at university

Currently re-reading The Praise of Folly by Erasmus.

I absolutely love Lolita.

@t: I have read more books from The Nightrunner series by L. Flewelling and currently reading Good Omens by T. Pratchett and N. Gaiman. Love love love it, so hilarious.

Well it's been on my TBR list for ages, one of the books everyone knows exist, or everyone knows Lolita, but hardly anyone's read it.

^ I have picked it because of school, I admit, but I was very very pleasantly surprised. It's hard to describe why I like it so much, but the style of the book might be the biggest reason.

have tried to find lolita on few libraries and am fed up, might lend it from a friend thou it is in english so might be a task not done in haste to read it.

but uni tell me how it was



last book i have read was a romance novel by nora roberts.

i am liking them, especially the cordina series.

Lolita is a great book, enjoy;)

^ I didn't finish Lolita. I thought it became horribly boring halfway through.

If it something you like, why not do it anyways?

@t: Currently reading Collapse by Jared Diamond. It is sometimes a little dry, but for being nonfiction it is really interesting. It puts science and history together, which is awesome cuz I love both subjects. Especially the history of ancient civilizations!

When I finish this, I want to read his other book (also nonfiction) called Why is Sex Fun? It is about human evolution and the evolution of sex... very interesting topic

^ because i'm a spoilt rich kid who will die without the finer things in life

I read "The Bell Jar" by Sylvia Plath since Saturday. She was a goddess. I am sure.
I cant wait to read again today, and re-read it in english too!

Well I have read 2/3 of Lolita today, and it's definitely a great read! It captivated me from the first few pages.. though now I am not very fond of the protagonist, but we'll see how it turns out. He's thinking he's being good to Lolita, while she's basically being held captive.. hmm.
