How is this? I have heard good things from a friend of mine but his taste is pretty different than mine and I haven't read any easy fun books in forever

Started Dune for some terrible reason. Going to stick with it but at the beginning it just sorta feels like work.

That's one of those kinds of books that I always tell myself I'll get around to reading "eventually," but mostly because I feel like I should, not because I'm burning to do it.

Just finished Lolita, now catching up on comic books before I get into reading some stuff for my thesis.

How did you like it? I grabbed it on a recommendation but still haven't worked through it myself. Does he focus into one time period or does he just kinda keep skipping around like he does at the beginning?

I liked it a lot. It's beautifully written. The middle section gets a bit rambly and boring, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me.

QuoteOoh, what are you going for?

A master's in English with a focus on literature and film.

Well, urine luck. If you're never seen the movie, someone recently uploaded the entire thing to YouTube. Hurry before it gets blocked!

Oh, lawd. My pull list is pretty long at the moment. Batman. Batman and Robin. The Dark Knight. Detective Comics. Catwoman. Worlds' Finest. Superman. Action Comics. Supergirl. Batman/Superman. Superman/Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman. Justice League. Justice. League of America. Justice League United. Justice League Dark. Trinity of Sin: Pandora. Harley Quinn. Forever Evil. Batgirl. Batwoman. Batman Eternal. Birds of Prey. Nightwing. Earth 2. Futures End.

And... I think that might be it.

And I don't have anything to sell. :(

Have you read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It's the book that Blade Runner was based on. A bit different than the movie, but it's one of my favorite books.

Czech out The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett sometime if you get the chance. It's one of the few books I've read that I'd truly consider "epic" in the classic sense; it goes through entire lifetimes of some characters and goes from deeply personal spotlights on individual characters to almost an entire society when ideas/ themes are put together.

what else do you suggest/what book is your favorite? i personally love baudolino by umberto eco, and i enjoyed the island of the day before again by eco.
also, i really liked ''the brothers kipp'' from jules verne.
