Mapcore Book Club

[JynxDaddy]

In shadow of Zaphod's recent request that we townsfolk 'clean up' our act, I think starting a Book Club in these forums is a grand idea.

The paperback I am reading will be familiar to many of you, 'To Kill a mocking-bird' by Harper Lee. I am enjoying my reading time with it, especially the description of the behavior of the children. I get quite a kick out of the attention to detail Harper Lee puts in, even noting their fidgeting while their father teaches them valuable lessons.

The style of humor is unlike any other authors, it’s astonishingly funny considering how close to home it is.

What books are you reading?

[Minos]

I'm not reading it atm, but surely the best book Ive ever read in my life (one of the only ones though )

mikezilla, I must refer you to Zaphod's recent global announcement

And Mino’ dear, as much as I do like reading informative books, and I do, they are just in such an abundance that I have no time for them all.

Past books I have read that I feel I should share with you.

Game Over

Very fascinating book about Nintendo's history, from the very beginning

Boy and Going Solo by Roald Dahl

These two books, which I own pooled into one thick hard cover, are all about Roald Dahl’s life. Yes, he normally does young level writing, but his childish backing makes the story read very well.

The only books Ive read have been stuff that was forced upon me in school, so Ive been scared for life D:!~

But Ive been interested in checking out Masters of Doom, looks quite interesting (although Ive heard it wasnt all that great from som people :G)

Im currently re-reading the Riftwar saga (Magician, Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon) by Raymond E Feist. He owns Tolkien. After reading them, I want to move onto the other books written by Feist.

I've also recently been reading the series called "Left Behind", a series of books based on some peoples thoughts about what the end of the world is gonna be like, based on the bible. Its pretty cool

[CrazyMAC]

by cleaning up do you mean gagging duffy

hmmm recently i've been reading that book burce lee wrote....its all abit meaningless to me but i guess if i was a leet kung fu artist it would make perfect sense

I don't read any books. I read magazines and sometimes the newspaper, but no books. Sad but true.
