The Reading Room

ooooh, thats harsh!:P;) we got to pick are books as long as they were fiction and that is the one i picked because its my favorite!

I probably liked it less because I was made to read it in school.. the six others I read on my own. School can often ruin a book for a person.

Hey I have a bunch of those on my shelves. Everyonce in a while I will pull out, heroes or twins or something and dive into the deep recesses of the D & D world. *sigh* If only I could game still. I may go back home for Christmas, if I do I must join the guys for an all night gaming secession LOL

LOL, i know what you meen! im in the 8th grade and so far out of all those book reports i have had to do i only like like one book called The Medallion.

My word does anybody read any non-fiction!!??

Right now I am reading a few books. I am reading back & forth between Sports Illustrated (not a book but bare with me) & David Sklansky's Theory of Poker while on the um, throne.

I am reading the Swiftboat Veterans book about John Kerry "Unfit for Command" (Yeah, I know, late, but an interesting read nonetheless) & it rests by the bed side.

I also have two out of the apartment books. One is sitting in my car & the exact title escapes me but it is about a woman who was once Osama Bin Laden's sister-in-law. She divorced his brother and moved away from the country. She & her daughters spend a lot fo time in the US as well. Definately an interesting read. The other book, which is in my locker at work, is How to Win No Limit Hold Em Tournaments by Tom McEvoy & Don Vines.

Yeah, I don't get to read often so it takes me a while to finish all of these books but hey, I have a book almost anywhere I go at my disposal so that is nice!

As for a favorite book, I would hafta go with Leadership by Rudy Giuliani. A great book. If I had to go fiction, I would hafta give Of Mice & Men the nod!

Yep.. I remember when I was in school I'd finish the book in two days, and we were supposed to take 3-4 weeks to finish it. It was so boring waiting for the rest of the slowpokes to finish.

im reading the diary of anne frank for school too. thats non-fiction.

I never had to read that.

yeah its ok, but it uses a lot of words we dont use anymore. but its still good

Paper. Then again most of the stories might as well fall under the fictitious category ;) My programming ventures keep me reading technical books most of the time as well.
