The last book you finished + 2 lines of review

[mParadox]

Got a feeling that this one has been done b4 in a different context but....whateves.

Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw.

I know right? Awesome. I kid you not,it is very well written and the characters are lively. The story is nicely done but it slows down from time to time. Minor formality but overall a good book.

Definitely recommended.

For Crying out Loud!

The world According to Clarkson.

It was funny yet very irritating. This is mainly because he is Jeremy Clarkson though so it lived up to what I expected.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Star Wars The Force Unleashed II

Basically the game.
With Starkiller as the hot, lead character that kicks ass.

 

[Ldude893]

The Art of War. It should be mandatory reading for everyone who wants to be a military general or officer, and recommended reading for fans of strategy games.

 

[Durgiun]

Diablo: The Sin War: Birthright

Cliche with one-dimensional characters. Best for reading on a boring day without internet or TV.

 

[Sephychu]

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?-Phillip K. Dick

You know what? Great. In a rare case, I'd recommend seeing the movie (Blade Runner) before reading, because the movie misses so much out. You'll feel cheated, and otherwise, it's a great movie.

Go read it.

Moab is my washpot by Stephen Fry.

Personal,insigthful and honest autobiography from a true National Treasue. He tells of the difficulties of his first 20 years on this earth.
Excellent read, written in Fry's witty and always entertaining style. Strongly reccomended.

The Borderlands of Science, by Micheal Shermer (something like that)

Very boring, frankly. There were a few interesting parts to it, especially at the beginning, but was truly a chore to read. And though the premise seems interesting (investigating and/or de-bunking psuedo-science) it is anything but.

I can't even remember.

I don't read very much. Though I still intend to follow the layout for this post.

 

[MrShowerHead]

Generation Kill

Simply the best war book I've read. Really, you guys should read this.

 

[Airhead]

Plato's "Symposium".

A deep inquiry into the nature of love. Also, gay sex.
Seems that pplz in their times didn't have a problem with it. I say we look up to that.

The Sign of Four - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

All the back story seems to be piled on, almost as an after-thought, in the final chapter. However it's delightfully written; and, well, it's Sherlock Holmes.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Neverwhere.

Highly imaginative world with lots of imagery to really flesh it out. Entertaining if somewhat cliched cast of characters, but will leave you yearning for more (and there isn't any).

 

[AngloDoom]

The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde

I considered it oddly modern for it's time. Liked the presentation of dual consciousness and it was quite fun to see how it differed to later works after Freud's Interpretation of Dreams hit the world. Genuinely enjoyed it.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time - Mark Haddon

AMAZING book. Extremely well-written, demonstrates the perspective of an autistic child exceptionally well. The plot is interesting, and the writing keeps you interested. Not a big read, suitable for any age group. Highly recommended to anyone who doesn't know a lot about autism, and everyone else, for that matter.

I think it was Animal Farm by George Orwell.

The interesting fairytale-esque writing makes it an...interesting read, to say the least. Bit short but then that's all it needs to be.

Also you should read it cause it's political and stuff.

 

[Geekosaurus]

Sorry, I lied in my previous post. The last book I read was actually Ian Fleming's Casino Royale.

It's not particularly well written if looked at as a literary text; and aspects of it are incredibly different to what we might expect. But hey; it's Bond, James Bond.

Eye of the world by robert jordan


Strangely enough ive tried reading the book before but found it boring as hell to read but this time around I dont know why but it managed to suck me in. It is a little slow to be sure but it picks up steam as it goes. I am reading the second book now and its actually a lot better so if you are willing to slog through it, I would highly suggest it.
