What kind of books do you read?
I personally like sci-fi and fantasy. I have enjoyed immensely most books written by Terry Pratchett, Orson Scott Card, and Anne McCaffrey.

And yes, plenty of textbooks as well. Some of my textbooks in logic and philosophy are actually pretty comfortable reading. Unfortunately, while no less interesting, the same can rarely be said of my math textbooks and syllabi. Heavy stuff, that.
I like to read sci fi and fantasy, but I spend most of my time with "classic" literature. I think I find it comforting that certain books have lasted for such a long period of time and are still applicable today... I have absolutely no faith in new books, and as such I rarely read them :P
One of his earliest stories but one that never got published as such until now (though parts of it seeped through to the public in various ways). His son Christopher sifted through his notes to locate and compile the whole story. It's apparantly quite a good one.
That's "The Children of Hurin", right? Is it good?
I read all kinds of book, even manga and comics too...
Speaking of comics, perhaps you guys from europe can help me identify an old european comic? It has two leads named Danny and Katia... I don't know the artist I only remember it's about action, mystery and espionage. I love old european comics, as a matter of fact, I'm collecting them.
I also like The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of The apocalypse and it's sequel The Toyminator. If you like Sam & Max and british humour you'll love them.
I'm also reading "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days" but that not really as exiting...
At the moment I am reading Encylopaedia of the Serial Killer. Quite interesting - there are certainly some sick people out there. My workmates are kind of freaking out about it.
I read that once... it had good suspense, a little romance, and some great comedic moments. Sadly, I never finished it because the version of the book I had had an error on day 7's material... and it made me so frustrated I quit.

What's that icon of yours supposed to be sparklechick? It looks like a rootbeer float with a tomato slice on the side resting on a fish.
That's Gary .... Spongebob's snail ... wearing his Santa hat coz he's festive like that
Edit: Well, I was late but at least I was right
Ohhh, that's what it is!
*sobs* *pouts*
Isn't it past your bedtime you lot?
Want some coffee? Cocoa with marshmellows perhaps?

When I read that, I immediately looked at your location... I thought Austrailia or New Zealand... and it appears I was correct on the latter. Welcome to the forums
*Edit*Oh, and watch out for AdamG... he is a womanizer... actually, I don't know that for sure, we don't see many female folk on here. At least he makes good cocoa... well, I am not sure about that either, but one of my two hunches is bound to be correct.
Always nice to talk to friendly people from around the world.
Assuming you're all friendly that is ...

I ated a butter, and my face was covered in butter, and I used a paper towel to wipe off the butter, and now I'm out of butter.
Good thing I have margarine.
RIP book thread
I will remember you fondly.
