If anyone forces me to read a book, I won't like it no matter what.

 

[MGMT]

It was pretty damn terrible.
Forced reading back in 6th grade.

Apparently it's a good book for people with complex minds.

I hate intellectual books, they're so friggin boring.

...We can't be friends anymore. : (

Can we be friends? I read three novels in April.

I read three in April; The Amber Spyglass, The End, and Twilight.
In May, I've already read New Moon.

I think Twilight is being made into a movie also.

I'm rereading the Harry Potter series, The Peter Jackson and the Olympians series, and The Seventh Tower series. I'm trying to finish all of them by the end of this month, should be easy.

The Giver was probably one of my favorite books ever.

Since we're on the topic of reading, here's what I'm tackling right now:

Mara and Dann by Doris Lessing
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
(re-reading) The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Edit - I also want to read Twilight... heard it was a good book.

Twilight is about this teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire.
I won't spoil the book.



I can't wait to buy Breaking Dawn in August.

Twilight is getting made into a movie!:O

I read it in grade 6. I didn't like it that much.

 

[TheGremp]

wow, I was one lucky 12 year old. I never had to read it in 6th Grade, which seems to be a normal thing.

 

[UltraByte]

Twilight looks so crappy. "I LUV VAMPIRES OLOLOLOLOLOL 8D"

Yeah, I'm skipping it.

 

[MGMT]

"I LUV VAMPIRES OLOLOLOLOLOL 8D"

Sounds like every girl in my grade. I keep hearing, , "Guys should read it, it gives great dating advice." I'm just like What the *CEN-3.0-SORD*. Its a *CEN-3.0-SORD*ing vampire, and werewolf, I hear in the 2nd book.

 

[Gabby]

I read it this past year.


It was a good book.

Hardly.

I think it's written by Lois Lowry. But anyway, I have to read it next year.

Why do you have to read it next year?
Why not read it this year?

Because I have too many books to read for the rest of this year. I probably wouldn't have time for it this year.

I can read a 200 page book in a few hours... you must have a lot of books if you don't have time for one more.

Who would want to read a 200 page book in a few hours? When you do that you are making it a chore. I take my time reading a book because I want to savor every bit of it.

Making it a chore...? Sorry, I'm just a fast reader. I honestly prefer speed reading... or rather, what I call "diagonal reading"... I read so fast it seems like I'm going from the top left to the bottom right of a page.




Of course, certain books I want to savor, and sometimes I stop for a minute to take in the plot, like in mystery novels.

The only book I have ever sped read is The Deathly Hollows. I was really mad at myself when it was over though.

Eh, met my goal of readin it in under twenty-four hours...

I'm a much faster reader than most of my friends, but I still consider myself a very slow reader.

 

[TheGremp]

I'm a fast reader if I'm actually interested in a book, but that almost never happens, because books in general bore me. The only book that I actually got sucked into was Call of the Wild.

 

[Mino]

I'm a fast reader, but I run into problems when my mind thinks about something else but my eyes keep on reading the words. I end up halfway through a page and can't remember a word I just read.

I hated Call of the Wild with a passion. Worst book ever. imo.

That happenes to me alot. I cannot watch tv and read at the same time, unless the volumes really low.
