hehe I'm reading 'Harry Potter' - I'm up to the 4th book, and I'm totaly into it, but my coworkers have me hooked on watching Lost - so my spare time has gone from computer, to reading, to lost ;) Almost done with it though.
Side note: I'm not a reader - so Harry potter is a big commitment and achievment for me. gooooooo me \o/

Ahh, I love Lost. It's a shame the season has ended though.

Lost is an awesome show.
And I plan on picking up the new Harry Potter book.
I read the paper this morning, if that counts.

baby steps!
Fountainhead - Ayn Rand (not sure what to think, my girlfriend is reading it and having major conflicts with the whole thing and getting all spastic)

I read the Fountainhead, at least up until the end. The style of the writing was great, the way structures/architecture and such were described. However I never really paid attention to the philosophy of it, even thought I guess that was the entire point of the book.. which was why I stopped reading at some point during the 4,000 page speech dictating what Ayn Rand thought about whatever the crap. Yawn!
ive gotta read the long walk for school over summer break... there were other books but since this one is stephen king its probably the best...

You're reading the Long Walk.. for school? Wow. Do you know what it's about? This isn't spoiling since it's revealed right away: it's a race where everyone walks above a certain speed until one person is left, and it's violent, and a lot of fun. Beware the blisters...
I started a thread about Lost since three people mentioned it: http://www.lunixmonster.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3315 (http://www.lunixmonster.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=3315)
Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger (I managed to not read it during my sophomore year, so I'm doing it now)
Fountainhead - Ayn Rand (not sure what to think, my girlfriend is reading it and having major conflicts with the whole thing and getting all spastic)

Both very good books I must say. The Foutainhead has a story, but it is second after all the things the book makes you question about society.
And, Nite, I still need to read Atlas Shrugged. I assume it's good?

Never has any book inspired a stronger urge for me to do physical violence to the main character than Catcher in the Rye.
Meh, she's long winded and has a simplistic view of the world. It was an alright read. But drawn out. DRAAAAAWN OUUUUUT...
Speaking of old I started to reread the Lensman books again. These were
written by E.E. Doc Smith in the 30s-50s. It's science fiction from another era. Everything is force rays and computers were unheard of :). Anyone else heard of them?

I read somewhere that the Lensman books was the foundation for the Star Wars universe.
Rogue Warrior's Strategy for Success: A Commando's Principles of Winning
Behold a Pale Horse
I swear upon MUGA that these are good reads, and if you shouldn't be satisfied with either read you can feel free to come to my town and butcher the damn thing :cool:
