Mara 29 Posted January 25, 2010 No, but I'd kinda like to, though at the same time, I think I'd prefer the book. Leaves more to the imagination. Ah. I've only seen the movie, and I loved it. (It's on DVD on Tues.) May have read the poem way back when in school, but I don't remember which of Keats I've read and which I've not, haha. Reading The Endless Forest by Sara Donati. I'm sad, 'cause it's supposed to be the last of the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ender 8 Posted February 2, 2010 Just finished Let The Great World Spin by Colum McCann. One of the single best books I have ever read, it's an amazing portrait of New York City in the 70's. Now, on to read The Plague by Albert Camus again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sticks 1 Posted February 12, 2010 Anyone read the Wicked series by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie? Story's good, but the writing is horrible...jumps around waaaayyy too much, which makes it hard to follow at times. Also rushes the story quite frequently. Just finished the second book, and even though I'm not at all impressed with it, I have to read the others cuz I hate not finishing a series. Guess I should have expected crappy writing...it is a teen/young adult book afterall (though I've read many great young adult books) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted February 15, 2010 Can't say I've heard of 'em... Star Wars - Crosscurrent - Paul S. Kemp. So far, so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticks 1 Posted February 20, 2010 So reading Superfreakonomics now...loved the first one, and so far, this one looks very promising. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted February 22, 2010 A Poisoned Season by Tasha Alexander Second in her Lady Emily Ashton series, and I'm loving it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted March 1, 2010 Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay I started watching the series Dexter that was based on the books but got behind. Until I catch back up, I'll read the books. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticks 1 Posted March 2, 2010 I loooovvveeee Dexter! Just finished Wicked 2...now I'm on to Wicked: Resurrection...by the same author I was ranting about earlier...her writing has gotten a little bit better as the books progress, but still not great. Not very far in Superfreakenomics...heh, I have too many books going right now. Also reading a book about the Taliban, but that's my "work book," meaning I break it open whenever I have downtime at work and another lieutenant is hogging the computer :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted March 4, 2010 Yup, the book was good. I was surprised how close the TV show kept to it (for the 3-4 episodes I have seen ). Now I'm reading The Dead Guy Interviews: Conversations with 45 of the Most Accomplished, Notorious, and Deceased Personalities in History by Michael Stusser. Came across it last year, titled seemed interesting. Should be a good one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted March 8, 2010 George Lucas's Blockbusting: A Decade-by-Decade Survey of Timeless Movies Including Untold Secrets of Their Financial and Cultural Success - Alan Ben Bock and Lucy Autrey Wilson Kind of reads like a textbook (and it's over 900 pages), but it's super interesting.

James the Defender 7 Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) It sounds like a textbook, I'm reading Backlash by Aaron Alston Edited March 15, 2010 by James the Defender Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted March 15, 2010 A little bit. But I love it. I'm already past page 700 in just over a week. (Up to the 1990s, whoo!) There's so much I'm learning about the film industry in general. Plus, all their stats are in 2005 equivalent $s, so that means Star Wars (IV) is the second most grossing film of all time, behind Gone with the Wind. (Suck that, Titanic). If only it had come out a few years ago so my prof. could have used it for my film class. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted March 17, 2010 ^ Man, that book was awesome. Anyway, now I'm reading No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
