From the Archive - DiS does the Big Day Out
I just finished 'How to be Free' by Tom Hodgkinson
now I'm about a third of the way through Catcher in the Rye as I've never read it like.
I'm gonna take my pick from gaynors library
I have a lot to choose from, she does have every book.
I think i'm gonna go with something DH lawrence or Henry james though. Or i could pick up on catch 22 again. Or harpo marx's autobiography.
that book is fantastic.
get with it and finish it : )
im still reading Catch 22
so good but sooo slow
I know what you mean about Catch 22
You wanna read it but you gotta eat first to concentrate but you can't eat without relaxing and eating first, so you go to eat but then you need to read first then you open the book but you're hungry... argh!
:D
its a bit of a struggle
i first read it when i was about 12 and it seriously went straight over my head. took me months to read it because i didnt get any of it. im enjoying it much more now.
don't give up
it's bloody amazing
Catch 22
is such a cool book, stick with it.
I'm reading
'The Brothers Karamazov' by Dostoevsky, and lots of Gary Snyder - yay.
tonight I shall be reading Angela Cart's Wise Children
I have some red bull to keep myself awake.
exam on wednesday :(
I've really badly fucked up
the human stain by philip roth
i also have a £24 book token to spend (prize for winning school english and spanish awards, oh yeahhh). recommend me stuff, disers.
richard and judy know their shit
i'm gona make a listmania
i own a book
with a 'richard and judy recommendation!' sticker on the cover. it is called 'ps i love you'. i read one page of it and gave up. i'm not sure i can trust richard and judy anymore.
HAHAHAHAHAH
We went to see that in the cinema. It was dire. Probably dire, offensive on many levels. But hilarious.
somebody tried to make me see it with them
i refused. i like to think this makes up for the fact that i own the book.
at least the book is set in Ireland
the film is the worst kind of American Irish stereotyping. It also had fairytale of new york in it :(
omg thats the worst book ever
all the books they had on the show became instant best sellers because of the publicity and they didn't even read them.
Richard: they all SOUND great...And they ARE great, i would know, i've read them...
I read the Kite Runner and Star of the Sea which were quite good. The Lovely Bones was nowhere near as good as people said it was.
actually i haven't read PS i love you
i went to see the film and couldn't contain my laughter it was that bad.
The sort of film...
...that mkes me want to hide under the covers for ever.
i liked the kite runner
i've read the lovely bones too but i can't remember much of it so it obviously didn't make a huge impression.
one of my friends lists ps i love you as a favourite in both the books and films sections on her bebo :(
i made the mistake of badmouthing it
to my friend who read it and went to see it with her aunt because her husband had just died (the plot of p.s. i love you).
At least she's read a book. I hate it when people on stuff like that put under Books 'haha, very funny!' or something.
a richard & judy bookclub sticker is enough to put me off a book
i work in a library i see what kind of books those are and what kind of people enjoy them - not for me at all.
I'm still burrowing through...
'Mike Leigh on Mike Leigh''...I've been proper busy so I havn't been able to dedicate as much time to it as I'd like.
i'm reading the new Will Self book
The Butt
I love Will Self.
He's top class.
so far theres been some boobs
and someones head has been set on fire
good start.
As a man,
He's really got his head screwed on.
Not on fire. Except for the fire of thought...
which reminds me...I need to re-attach my fire alarms. I was making burgers.
Norweigan Wood by Murukami
I don't seem to have as much time to read now I no longer commute.
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote
Unsurprisingly, a very bleak and depressing book.
is it worth reading though?
I really liked the film Capote.
It's excellent, it really is
Very well written. It's pretty commendable that, despite knowing in advance the details of the murder and the consequences, it's still riveting and very tense. I'm about halfway through. The first third builds up a portrait of the family, and when you actually get to the murders it's pretty horrifying because so much empathy has been created.
Finished rading norwegian wood last month
it was pretty awesome hoping to get sputnik sweetheart at some point this month otherwise I've been reading genesis machines by martyn amos technially non fiction but has some incredibly descriptive prose which is used to convey ideas about the future of computing and strangeland by tracey emin.
what are you a Viking?
???
LOL
Subtle.
Damn my typos
ah well at least it was humorous :-)
I'm reading At Swim Two Birds by Flan O'Brien
Excel Saga
V6.
Still unsure whether I prefer it to the anime. And my head feels like exploding a bit.
is this about spreadsheets?
i never finish a book these days.
i wish i had the time... all i get to read is journal articles... lameeeee.
I've let my reading slip recently
I was reading Paraniod Park by Blake Nelson. But I hvent got round to finishing it yet.
no
never.
Wild Swans by Jung Chang
Nearly finished 'Matter'
by Iain M Banks. It's ace.
i THINK im reading fallen leaves'
but i dont know as im worried i lost it at ATP (also why i haven't listed the author' learning some things i didnt know about china.
also 'dave gormans google whack adventure' by, you guessed it, dave gorman.
