What? I don't understand the Harry Potter = Metallica comparison.

Kage- I'm beginning to think that you are correct. :lol:

Anyways, I asked Deadohiosky to forward Blair's email about the whole dot crap dash thing to me, so once I get it, if you're good, you may get to see it as well. :naughty:

HP=Metallica because both are overrated, over-fanboy'd, yet still good. :-D

I don't think she sold out, just made it more angsty, which made me real angry.

EDIT : and there was no popping snare, or maybe thats the next book?

Dude. :amaze:

Hes right...What have we been doing with our time? Seriously, this make more sense than anybody elses idea!!!

Your a friggin' genius! Seriously!

**** these theories, Im going with this dudes idea.

I think the books have gotten better with each release, although I haven't read the new one yet.

Logic, my friend, is the true path. ;)

:lol: AJIG I wonder if we can contact Carol Vordeman to help us with our quest? Or that woman that always got the longest words on countdown, alright she sued a dictionary, but daaarn she was good.

Bah.

Overrated, defended by too many idiots who believe it to be the only great book out. And even though I know there's some good stuff in there, im put off by the fact the crap (which there is, my sister is a HP fangirl, and she even admits its got some really bad aeas) is hyped up too.

Though I havent read any, I cant complain really.

I enjoy the books thouroughly, though, and as far as I'm concerned there's no reason to look into it any further than that, especially for the type of book it is.

What's the whole deal with the new HP book?
I'm not interested in Harry Potter at all. It may be a good series, but nothing can bring me to read them. Its not that I hate reading, its just that I can't bring myslef to do it. I always fake book reports. And there are a lot of books I want to read, I just can't stay on a schedule of reading them. I'm more of a movie guy.

[QUOTE=Kage]Logic, my friend, is the true path. ;)[/QUOTE]

Indeed.

I'm more of a movie guy, too, but I often wonder why when I finish reading Stephen King books.

TBH the books do have their bad points, sh!tty endings and in this book kids falling in love (which i stated in a thread in the pit seems to crop up in every book i read which focuses on kids), but there is something that really hits you with the book, it makes you want to go to hogwarts (sounding lame here), and puts you in a good mood. I read it in 10 hours with hangovers, which is some pretty mean feat, so yeah it has to have something going for it.

I do read other shizz too, the speed i have digested this means i can get back on my summer reading adventure, finishing off the discworlds and truckers/diggers/wings series by pratchet and the 'reading list'...which is...

A Clockwork Orange – Anthony Burgess
Trainspotting – Irvine Welsh
Fight Club – Chuck Palahnuik
Animal Farm – George Orwell
Nineteen Eighty-Four – George Orwell
Catch 22 – Joseph Heller
The Catcher In The Rye – J.D Salinger
Dark Tower Series - Stephen King??

I really want to read the whole [I]Dark Tower[/I] series. I got half way through the 2nd book, lost it, and haven't got back to it. That was like a year and a half ago.

I haven't read the Dark Tower series, but my brother says it's absolutely amazing. I don't think he'll ever beat The Stand, though.

Im still waiting another Andy McNab release. My favourite book series by far.

And I should also try and get into Chris Ryan's books too, he has considerably more to offer in material manner.

Clearvision, you have the best summer reading list. [I]A Clockwork Orange[/I] is a great book. I have to read [I]The Giver[/I] and [I]The old man and the Sea[/I]. I have no interest in either one of those books.

I have to read For Whom The Bell Tolls, I think, but I never do summer reading.

[QUOTE=Dude3]Clearvision, you have the best summer reading list.[/QUOTE]

I know all i need now is a GF and a Job and i'm sorted, i have taken to driving rather well (I think/hope). And the rest of the time i shall spend reading and going on adventures on my bike :lol: Best summer ever.

/optimism ++

Ive read the Stand and all the Dark Tower books. Excellent! Its really neat how he uses the dark tower to tie a bunch of his other books together which includes the Stand actually...Stephen King rules.

I never do summer reading either. Although, this year they said that we would get a test on the books. It smells like BS to me, but I'm not really sure. I'll start the Hemingway one in a couple minutes. I think I'm going to try to read all of it tonight.

I know, my brother raves about how he does that. Stephen King is the man.

I usually have to do essays. Needless to say, I have to use quite some finesse in my writing for those, but usually if you have a nice teacher s/he doesn't count it for much.

my school doesnt have books :D we each do all our work on a laptop

How many dark tower books are there now? I seem to remember that I read the first four, and thought it was some of the best books I've ever read

There's a total of seven in the series.

Woot!.. It pays off not reading for a couple of years

Have you all heard the track danny played on with Collide?

I was going to go start reading, but my dad is blasting some Bee Gees on his computer. The bass is anoying the hell out of me. I can't concentrate!
