Another book thread.
« on: Thursday, September 13, 2007, 08:33:10 PM »
So, I've been on this reading thing lately. I dunno if school has gotten me in the habit or what. Anyway, I finished "Life of Pi", great great book, loved it beginning to end. It's just a great story. One of the best books I've read in recent memory. Highly Highly recommended. Tonight I picked up "The World Without Us", which G-Man recommended, and I'm gonna start reading that. I also picked up "Water for
Elephants" which I heard was really good, and it was only like  $7 a B&N. So We'll see. After these I think I'm going to check out some books that always wanted to read, but never got around to it.

I'm still reading through Atlas Shrugged after Que mentioned it and I'm enjoying it.

Tell me your thoughts on "The World Without Us" whenever you finish.

I'm still not done with it, actually. I've been bogged down with school work lately. Hopefully I can knock it out this weekend and pick up pi.

I've been reading The House on the Strand.  Quite enjoying it, and I wasn't sure that I was going to.  I find that almost anything that relates to time travel in any sense is just completely stupid, but this is an interesting take on it that doesn't really have anything to do with time travel at its heart.  It's pretty cool.  I haven't finished it, but I certainly recommend it at this point.  It has a very graceful quality to its narrative.

Still reading The Brothers Karamazov as well, on and off.  Have read it before, but reading it again since it's been many years.  Haven't had the time to finish it, though.  Too much stuff to do.

Glad you're still liking Atlas, Belmont.  It's a bit of a beast, but the interesting parts make up for the bad ones, I think.
