Do any of you read books?
 

I hate reading, just wanted to see if any of you liked it :)

I used to read a lot. My favorite genre was sci-fi, and my favorite authors were Robert Heinlein and Douglas Adams.

As a kid I read here and there. I don't think I have a read an entire book for at least 20 years. :)

Honestly i never read alot of books until i started working in jail. Now that i have 8 hours of absolutely nothing to do i started just fucking with books and found out that i like those fantasy type books. I never thought i would like that sort of shit and always considered it kinda gay, but it keeps my interest while i am at work and makes the day go by faster.

I read manga :) thats japanese comics

Isnt that japenese comics with titties and shit?

Just finished reading these two books

this book was good as well, and is suppose to be based on true events

So I take it your into the documentary books. :)

haha no, i think those are doujins(sp?) manga comics are actually comics, like superman and spiderman

Doujins right gotta remember that.

ill remind ya if you forget lol

Every now and then I get into a book but I tend to get busy and stop then never get back to it, there are like 3 I need to finish right now :rofl2:

Try out Stephen King imo, he has some good shit. You can get one of his short story compilations and read a couple to see if you like how he writes, then move on to his big ones. The Dark Tower is an awesome series and is fantasy based imo

last book i read was the Last patriot, it was pretty good although I only read about half of it before i had to turn it into the library, I havent tried to go and check it out again lol

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is one of my favorite books ever. If you're bothered by sci-fi then you won't like it. If you don't care for sci-fi but are not bothered by it, it might fit you. It's about a gifted child who is a second-class citizen, abused by his psychotic brother, and protected by his sane sister. He gets drafted, struggles through school as an outcast nerd, and winds up in charge, leading the military defending society against the worst attack ever.

On the other end of the sci-fi spectrum: Camelot 30K by Robert L Forward. This is a book about intelligent life found on an extremely cold sub-planet-sized body. They are very small, a couple inches in length or height or whatever. The chemistry and biology of how they could live is pretty thoroughly explored, and there is a major surprise ending.

How sci-fi are those books? Just beyond startrekie??

Ender's Game uses Sci-Fi as its premise and setting, but the story itself isn't really Sci-Fi. It's less Sci-Fi than Star Trek. You could probably use a computer to search-and-replace all the sci-fi stuff with stuff from present-day America or ancient Egypt and it would almost all still make sense.

Camelot 30K is hard Sci-Fi, too much for a pedestrian Star Trek watcher. You probably need to have some interest in real science to fully enjoy it, though the plot would be enjoyable enough without understanding all the details.

Dam i am gonna go look at some books tomorrow now Fuckers. I heard the Dark Tower series was an awesome series but i forgot all about it. Is it really worth getting?

IMO definitely worth getting. Plus if you like it, there is also a comic book version put out by Marvel.

Dually Noted. i dont know exactley when to say that but i always wanted to say it. so there.

Finally off your chest. Good for you. Go out and get it and let us all know how it is ;)

Fucking AWESOME book. Sci-fi bores me, but the Ender series of books kick serious amounts of ass!

Looks like Tron

Oh God, so gay...

True, but i cant stay on a computer 8 hours a day either so gotta find something to do.
