So What Are You Reading?

[Lady Timpani]

Villette by Charlotte Bronte. This is actually the second time I've tried to read it; the first time I didn't make it to the end of the first volume. I spoiled myself on the ending before I picked it back up, but it's still a pretty enjoyable read, even if Lucy's melancholy is a bit too uncomfortably familiar.

Phobias.

 

[Circus]

I'm almost done with Pet Sematary. It's been good, but the plot takes so long to develop.

Started on Sixty-nine by Ryu Murakami... been wanting to read it for ages so glad I ordered a copy. While it's not the raw and speed of Almost Transparent Blue, I really enjoy it... Need more of his stuff.

Finished this... Really good but yeah I def. prefer ATB man. <3

 

[John Wick]

The Foxtel movies guide.

 

[Dinosaurz]

Hunger games I have all 3 books but I’m just on the first book there’s in the arena right now actually

 

[tokkio]

finally trying to start reading all the books i've bought but haven't opened at all lol (around 10+ books)

starting off with Lord Of The Flies.. but i don't know if i even want to finish this, honestly. i've seen this book get so much praise but i'm almost halfway and still can't see what's so exceptional about it? i still don't care much about the characters because most of them are annoying.. well that's probably the point of the book but eh

guess i'd just have to finish it

Asperger Syndrome.

 

[xSuperMario64x]

Asperger Syndrome.

Ngl I might be interested in reading that as well :eyes:
I tried to find a book on Asperger Syndrome in the library here on campus and there's only one book that doesn't even really go into detail about it oddly enough.



I just finished reading two more chapters for Music History. They were regarding Beethoven's middle and later years of his life. Apparently he was severely depressed and actually considered suicide but his musical gift and composition ability was what kept him going. In his later years he realized that he would never truly find anyone to love, so he spent the rest of his life living for his music.
I know I'm still young but I can kinda relate to this lol

We have loads of them at work but it's mostly for people who need routines, alarms and help with basic stuff, haven't found any good on high-functioning or how you help those people with like, applying for finance aid in a good way, getting your own place easier etc. :/

Anyway OT, some lyrics and some dialogue-ish text for class

Hope you like it as you're rereading it. o: I read and watched it for the first time a couple months ago and preferred the book, but both are good!

I finished Persuasion by Jane Austen a couple days ago and am starting on Mansfield Park now.

Well I just finished it last night but I was reading the Kite Runner. Really well written book and opened my eyes to issues that I had previously not known about. I think the book definitely deserves the praise it gets.

 

[Xianders]

[Airysuit]

My ny resolution this year was reading more books, and right now Im reading the little prince <3 lovely book. Just finished crusade in jeans before this.

 

[SublimeDonut]

i've gotta read more lol. right now i'm reading the mysterious island by jules verne. it's nice but i'm not sure i have the motivation to go through all the 500 pages... i tend to prefer stories about... you know, human stuff, or fantastical new lands. but verne has the hots for technical stuff. he writes these big adventures but keeps the characters archetypical and somewhat bland in favor of properly explaining and developing the apparatus they'll use, how it functions, and how one can realistically get the adventure done. of course that's undermining the writer a bit, i think that's limited to his adventure books. and some of them have quite memorable characters. maybe it's just this book that's getting on to me.
