Books you're reading (37 Viewers)

Yeah, I have a friend who has a store bring whatever down for me. He's expensive, though. :|

That's cool though so at least you have some access to getting your books. You should save the money each time you decide to buy a book and you'll have enough to buy it in to time. Some of them are as little as USD79 I believe and you get a book at your fingertips in seconds.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

I don't really wanna think about spending money right now. If I buy a book now, it's purely impulsive

real books are so much cooler though, love reading a yellow-page oldie at the sea with the small pack of cigs and coke. screw electronic books, electronic greeting cards and sliced bread.

So you don't like books because they are nonsense, except Mein Kampf?

Interesting taste.

Well I was interested to know what Adolf thinks about Races and People since he has a chapter there. For the sake of argument with someone I read it.

Well, you got me! I'm speechless for once in my life.

It's not that, it's just boring, holding a book in my hand it's pain in the ass. I would never read a book for fun. I read IT books and economic books because I have to, but I would never enjoy reading a book.

It's that time of the year again. The good uncle has made a reading guide for you so you don't have to know what to read.

The best of 2011

Deneb has the first click because he already requested this a month ago, poor guy.

You don't read, you just listen

Nice compilation, saw the g+ link earlier.

Amazon, on my Kindle.

Can't wait til you get one because you know how lame the bookshops are here.

Order online? Because I cant think of anything more insanely lame and awkward then e-books. Can never compare to actual books.

That's because you don't live here and experience the annoyance that I do. I am not fortunate like Matty to have a friend at the book stores who will actually get everything I request. I love real books don't get me wrong, but it's a matter of convenience for me.

I red Mein Kampf and it was the most idiotic shit ever. I mean, you can have a crazy ideology but for the love of god, get someone who actually knows how to write, to write it. It makes The Da Vinci Code seem like Crime & Punishment.

I keep saying that The Da Vinci Code is one of the worst forms of writing I have ever come across; choppy writing and aside from its controversial topic, there was no saving grace for that book!

 

[Nzoric]

It was horrible. The thing which annoys me the most is that Dan Brown doesn't quite seem to grasp the concept of inner dialogue. Everything the characters think is spoken dialogue - which naturally draws you to the conclusion that every character is a moron

I tend to agree, though I have only really read the classics of your list. And my God I hate Walden. But then I hate pretty much everything to do with transcendentalism.

Finished 'Forever Peace' by Joe Haldeman. Great book following similar themes to 'The Forever War', but with improved characterization, a denser and more textured world, plus a lot of interesting ideas on the side. His style became very polished with this one, but, in the end, I enjoyed 'The Forever War' more.

Ordered that Douglas Hofstadter book off Amazon. Sounds like something I can pass the time with.

-edit. Lol@the special mention for The Brothers Karamazov.

"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" will be my next read

"The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds, and The Laws of Physics" Roger Penrose.

Interesting title. Can you describe a little more what it's about?

The Rum Diary. Really good book so far, totally my style.
