ChilledOutEntertaina: I Read. Do You Read?

owen 12.12.14	reading the Picture of Dorian Grey atm it started amazing, but it's starting to get stale
OysterizerInsomniac 12.12.14	Almost done with A Wild Sheep Chase by Murakami and I'm going to start The Stand by Stephen King over winter break.
Relinquished 12.12.14	philosophy and historic books mostly
ZombicidalMan 12.12.14	A Wild Sheep Chase is probably my favourite Murakami. And I've read about 8 of his now... actually reading Kafka on the Shore by him at the moment. Next is My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk, then probably I Am a Cat by Soseki. Thank god for winter break
demigod! 12.12.14	trying to get myself to read more so i picked up 1984 cuz it's widely considered a classic. about 2/3rds of the way through and it's really great. rather prophetic too but i wont beat that dead horse. afterwards im gonna read either catch 22 or hitchikers guide to the galaxy (the first one), have had them both laying around for a long time
KILL 12.12.14	the fountainhjead
KriegdemKriege 12.12.14	I read a lot of stuff. I'm working my way through all the classic works of Russian literature right now. I'm reading Anna Karenina over this coming winter break.
ZombicidalMan 12.12.14	@demi, read hitchiker's guide, it's a super fast read but it's still one of my favourite books
demigod! 12.12.14	yeah i heard it's a good one, plus id like something a bit more light hearted after 1984
organizedsound 12.12.14	I read way too much. Currently juggling Proust, Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida, Peter Gay's Modernism: The Lure of Heresy, and William Carlos Williams' Spring and All.
MO 12.12.14	"I'm working my way through all the classic works of Russian literature right now" fuck yes all about dostoyevsky. crime and punishment punched me in the gut it was amazing
sonictheplumber 12.12.14	very hip list
sonictheplumber 12.12.14	dude i almost feel like an ass talkin about books online cause so many readers i know are just insufferable cunts who think theyre philosophers but anyway just finished white noise, its alright i wouldve liked it more when i was younger almost done with wonder boys, its good bout to read ursula k le guin's lathe of heaven
DominionMM1 12.12.14	"I'm working my way through all the classic works of Russian literature right now. I'm reading Anna Karenina over this coming winter break." sweet. reading war and peace at the moment.
PappyMason 12.12.14	Sweet list, and nice digs everyone. I'm reading Suetonius - Twelve Caesars, atm. Got Joyce's Dubliners lined up after.
Tunaboy45 12.12.14	Last book I read was Trainspotting earlier this year.
DoctorDoom 12.12.14	Currently reading The Master and Margarita. Russian literature rules.
Ryus 12.12.14	14 rules, cormac mccarthy is probably my favorite author
insanedrexl1 12.12.14	Been reading a lot of Edgar Allan Poe lately.
Nocturnalize 12.12.14	i read emmure lyrics and feel tough and deep n shit
demigod! 12.12.14	emphasis on the word shit rite
LambsBread 12.12.14	1984 is the best book ive read by far recently i read Mystic River, was pretty good, good character development and plot, the movie was shit though. recently read the Hannibal series, those books are fuckin awesome and i would recommend them even if you have seen the movie because the plot is entirely different, changes the entire meaning of the story. Think and Grow Rich is a good self-help book i recently read. shit load of poker books, not gonna name em cuz i dont think anyone here is intereested auto repair books various history books, right now reading The Last Lion biographies of Winston Churchill, before that read Ike, these are classic books but you have to be pretty into history and ww2 as far as entertaining non fiction, Lone Survivor was a really good book too. not gonna say what im reading now cuz i know theres people on here who hate me who will spoil the books : /
zakalwe 12.12.14	Readers wives
VheissuCrisis 12.12.14	Currently reading the history of the templars. Though I can't get enough of epic overland voyages at the moment, inspired by my love of cycling.
JohnTheSavage 12.12.14	Ha I'm reading A Wild Sheep Chase too. It's the first one I've read by him but I've been meaning to get into him for three years now. It's about as good as I expected it to be. I read all the time when I was a kid. Then when I got to high school I really slowed down. Whenever I become a total slacker in school or have no academics in my life (such as summer job) I read all the time again. (currently freshman in college.)
TomTomTomato 12.12.14	read 1q84, fav book (that's a q not a 9)
thacoconut94 12.12.14	In my life I've read 50 cents biography, the two towers, war of the worlds, and a shit load of goosebumps hahahaha
ZombicidalMan 12.12.14	ichikyuuhachiyo! I actually haven't read that one yet. I'm going chronologically with Murakami so it's next, then I'll read Colourless Tsukuru. What I like about A Wild Sheep Chase is that it has all the zany mystery of The Wind Up Bird Chronicle and Hard-Boiled Wonderland, but it has better characters and ties things off fairly well. Wind Up and Hard-Boiled kind of just forget about certain characters and events and end abruptly.
Mort. 12.12.14	last good book i read was For Whom the Bell Tolls. i guess read it if you havent. Hemingways other books are all pretty good aswell i know, what a controversial opinion
ResidentNihilist 12.12.14	moby dick slan for good or evil - clive sinclair
ParanoidAndroid96 12.12.14	Currently reading some James Baldwin, I love his writing style
ChilledOutEntertaina 12.12.14	If anyone has the teensiest interest in graphic novels, I recommend spending some time with Alan Moore. "From Hell" is a delight. So is "Watchmen". And "V for Vendetta". And pretty much all of his work. Even his child porn. Ok. So, it's not really child porn.
YoYoMancuso 12.12.14	Currently reading White Teeth and The Screwtape Letters
Alastor 12.12.14	some good ol' Nietzsche cheers me up every time.
TalonsOfFire 12.12.14	I read the first page of Blood Meridian and it's one of the hardest things I ever read, my friend who just finished it said he'd give me $20 if I got through the whole thing lol
DoctorDoom 12.12.14	Nothing like a little Thus Spake Zarathustra to make you feel great about the existential experience of man.
Torontonian 12.12.14	Ya just started reading unbreakable today and hoping to finish it by christmas, which is when the movie comes out. IM at around page 50, great read so far
FictionalFlames 12.12.14	American Meteorological Society Journals e.g. "Gravity Waves produced by upper-level Jet Streams"
ChilledOutEntertaina 12.12.14	TalonsOfFire, if you thought page one was difficult, just wait 'til you get to page 2. And then page 3. Oh, Jesus tap-dancin' Christ, page 3! Give Child of God a good ol' college try. It's far more straight forward, less Faulknerian, and just as depressing.
ZombicidalMan 12.12.14	I enjoyed Blood Meridian, but for whatever reason I could always put it down and come back later
Gameofmetal 12.12.14	Trying to wrap up the last book of the Malazan Book of The Fallen series, The Crippled God over 10,000 pages of material, it's taken me over a year to read probably
CoolCalmJoe 12.12.14	Mixing Secrets for the Small Studio - Mike Senior; so I can make my music sound beautiful. Sophie's World - Jostein Gardner; so I can fall under this category "so many readers i know are just insufferable cunts who think theyre philosophers"
CoolCalmJoe 12.12.14	Flow My Tear, the Policeman Said was pretty good too
JohnTheSavage 12.12.14	I love Screwtape. When I read it I think of it as a great work of humanism couched in a Christian framework, but everyone else seems to think of it as a cynical and intolerant attack on atheists.
WeepingBanana 12.12.14	in the middle of Bleeding Edge right now. it's okay but i feel like takin it real slow for some reason
ronburgandy 12.12.14	in the middle of "A Canticle for Leibowitz" right now -- it's been pretty great so far might read Murakami's new book over break. i've really liked all 3 i've read by him (wind-up bird, wild sheep, hardboiled wonderland). apparently this new one's a pretty quick read also
YoYoMancuso 12.12.14	Savage I'm at around chapter 12 right now, I love how brisk the pace is and how unapologetic Lewis is about his writing. As he said himself, the truth you believe will always make its way into the fruits your labor.
Onirium 12.12.14	I've been into Kerouac for a while, he's just brilliant. I just finished On the Road and started Desolation Angels, and he definitely has one of the most authentic and beautiful styles I know. Apart from that, I really love Kafka, Philip K. Dick, Lovecraft, Murakami, Allen Ginsberg, Orwell (his essays are also extremely interesting if you liked 1984 and Animal Farm)
JoylessBastard 12.12.14	Currently reading as much Isaac Asimov as I can get my hands on.
ChoccyPhilly 12.12.14	I've been reading a lot of short stories recently, like Children of the Corn because I get way too into a book and it like takes over my life until I finish reading it.
JoylessBastard 12.12.14	If you're at all interested in Sci-fi short stories I would strongly recommend Asimov.
ZombicidalMan 12.12.14	I still gotta read Roadside Picnic
AtomicShane 12.12.14	I'm reading the gods themselves by asimov atm, tis pretty dope so far
ChilledOutEntertaina 12.12.14	Dick, Asimov, and the dude who wrote the Neuromancer- all of it is such stellar sci-fi. Or rather, such interstellar sci-fi. Heh heh. And Margaret Atwood is quite dope as well.
tempest-- 12.13.14	reading an H.P. Lovecraft collection at the moment its amazing
demigod! 12.13.14	lovecrafts stuff IS amazing. i need to get one of his books. ive never actually read any of his stuff per say just a few audiobook short stories and they were fantastic
tempest-- 12.13.14	this is what I have, its got every story you'd want http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1335019.Necronomicon
Rowan5215 12.13.14	nice lloyd I've been looking for one those around for quite a while @ listmaker nice choice on American Gods, book is fucking amazing and the rest of his work is just as good. Read Blood Meridian recently as well and I'm just reading the Stand I would highly recommend to anyone that loves reading and good books The Secret History by Donna Tartt, it's a classic that gets way overlooked
Onirium 12.13.14	Lovecraft is brilliant agreed. It's amazing how troubling some of his stuff can be, and how well written it is. The man really knew what horror literature is all about
Negator 12.13.14	Star wars old republic shit for like the past year. Im on the last of Banes tril rite now Shits raw
Gameofmetal 12.13.14	i liked the first bane book negator
DocSportello 12.13.14	just finished Vile Bodies. it was everything I ever wanted out of Gatsby. can't help but wonder how influential the motor race scene may have been on a certain bend of Fear and Loathing's narrative. having never seen The Princess Bride I'm reading that now. loving it.
wwf 12.13.14	I'm reading Moby dick right now I probably read like a book a year tbh
ncguitar 12.13.14	I read. Also, I usually don't go around flaunting how superior I am by reading. ^.^ :3 -_- =D O.o U.u T_T -
mandan 12.13.14	In between 2 history books: one on Spanish medieval history and another on the US relationship with Central America.
HalfManHalfAmazing 12.13.14	hop on pop
Veldin 12.13.14	20 is underrated mannn. Someone stole my copy of Gone Girl during my final exam today. Fuckin A
Crymsonblaze 12.13.14	what is books? pretty sad that the only book i've read on this list is as i lay dying. the last book i read was a game of thrones and that was all the way back in april. i've got tons and tons of stuff that i need to read but haven't gotten around to. lovecraft complete collection, bram stoker's dracula, a clash of kings, lotr, lots o' stephen king, patton oswalt's book...
ChilledOutEntertaina 12.13.14	Oh, stop being such an ol' fuddy-duddy, ncguitar! Whatchya been readin'?
ChilledOutEntertaina 12.13.14	Stephen King described himself as the literary equivalent of a big mac and fries. And I like big macs and fries.
Negator 12.13.14	@gameofmetal Yea it was pretty good, kind of had to get past the guys writing style the first couple chapters but its been mad entertaining this far. The epic fight at the end lf the second book vs bane n zannah n a bunch of jedis was epic as fuck.
DoctorDoom 12.13.14	@fromtheinside Joyland was great. New Stephen king feels a little more introspective.
rockandmetaljunkie 12.13.14	occasionally
Sniff 12.13.14	Y'all should try Richard Ford - Canada
bakkermaarten007 12.13.14	The Unbearable Lightness of Being influenced me so much. And managed to make me even more cynical.
KrazyKris 12.13.14	Just finished King's It, currently reading the Divine Comedy.
DoctorDoom 12.13.14	IT was my favorite book as a kid and the Divine Comedy is my favorite book now, good picks.
Snake. 12.13.14	Elie Wiesel - Night
Asdfp277 12.13.14	i've read like a single book in my entire life
Shuyin 12.13.14	comics and manga, i like artwork in my reading
wacknizzle 12.13.14	I need to get a copy of Watership Down. I'm just trying to avoid spending money for awhile since I just blew 1400 on a new guitar, can't wait for it to come in
BreakerdeGodot 12.13.14	Unbearable Lightness of Being and Blood Meridian are incredible works. The latter one was a bit too tough for me to finish, admittedly. I hope to finish it soon.
NorthernSkylark 12.13.14	just read the blindfold by siri hustvedt. it was a great read, altho far from perfect it was her debut so a very good book (she had a great story within the story too, so that's always a plus)
PortraitsOfDecay 12.13.14	Tbh I need to start reading so I can feel like I'm doing something with my life for once
