Where have all the books gone?

BTW, if you don't suck at life, you'll pick up every single book that Chuck Palahniuk has written and read them a few times.
Who? I heard the name but don?t remember who he is...
/googles the name
Ah, sure! Fight Club(the movie) is a masterpiece! I have yet to read the book. Tomorrow I will look for his books.

It's a very good book.
 
Last book I read was "Everything Bad Is Good For You" which explains how all those computer games and laptops aren't such a bad idea after all. Don't worry, the author doesn't say books are useless (else he wouldnt be writing one), just that computer games and the like are good in a different way.
 
Have just re-read the Appendices of "Lord of the Rings" and I'm thinking of starting "The Hobbit", now that it seems Peter Jackson might finally be directing the adaptation. I have also finished "The Stars, my Destination" by Alfred Bester. Great classic SciFi, and I intend to re-read for the nth time "20000 Leagues Under the Sea", my favourite book by Jules Verne, which for some reason I tend to read every December, I don't know why. Last month I started reading "Temeraire", by Naomi Novik, which looked promising, but I haven't had much time to sit down and read (it's in electronic format, I'm afraid...)
 
I read a lot when I was a child. The first book I read was "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Seuss. Since that time, I have been an avid reader. All I did before the Nintendo came around was read books, I read through my small encyclopedia set numerous times. I just read a lot of things when I was very young, and most of the information has stayed with me. I am the type of person that knows a little bit about everything.

Having a 4-hour break 2 days a week has rekindled my passion for reading. I have gone through 3 lengthy books and am now going through "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins. I usually however read fiction novels, such as Tom Clancy novels and other novels in the same type of theme. I got through a Splinter Cell book during October and it was so good that I missed my class because I got so involved in it, it was that good!
 
The first real book I ever read was Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton. I was about 10 years old. Still one of my favorite books. Big Crichton fan because of it.
 
i used to read a lot, but the last couple of years, not that much anymore, 2 books a year maybe

last one i read was "belgium for beginners", a big satire of how belgium works, i laughed my ass off
 
I went through a time after college where I didn't read a lot, but I'm reading more now that I'm older.

Big Dean Koontz fan here. I just picked up his new one, Brother Odd. I'm eagerly awaiting for the third and final book of the Frankenstein trilogy, also.
 
Reading is the way to go. It expands your imagination and helps you relax. People might say its boring or i don't have time, but you always feel a lot better after you finished reading a book. Even if it is that 1/2 hr before you go to sleep. I strongly recommend Jeremy Clarkson's books, they all made me laugh. If not, try Catch 22, a great World War 2 comedy.
 
If you ever want a quick laugh, read Lysistrata. Some ancient Greek person wrote it (Aristophanes, maybe?)
 
Tell me how the book is, I'm interested. :)
so far it's pretty interesting. i'm jumping around a lot, you don't really read it cover to cover, but some of the hacks are pretty cool and work well. I recommend a trip to the bookstore to browse it, if you see a few things that perk your interest buy it.

I may just do that, I'm always down to read some tips and tricks to keep the ol' mind sharp.
 
I just finished War of the Worlds. Very good. I can't believe it was writing in the 1800's. Best read next to the halo books.
 
A few years ago I picked up a set of James Bond books from a garage sale. Since I saw the movie, I've been wondering how close Casino Royale is to the book. Looks like I've got some reading to do.
 
Speaking of old-school books, I read The Count of Monte Cristo on my flight to China this summer. Phenomenal book, the 19th century DaVinci Code in terms of popularity and suspense. No wonder it's a classic.
