When i first read Dracula, i could not put it down. I think it's the films that spoil the story.

I never read books that people tell me I 'must read'. I'm the same with films; as soon as hype starts building, it really puts me off.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

if you haven't done so already, read The Hobbit. not 'really' a kids book - it's like LOTR 'lite'. THE best fantasy book ever.

Quote from: wjp666
The Hobbit is a great book, and reading LOTR after it is easier.

 

wjp666 is so right..reading The Hobbit is a must before you even consider reading LOTR as it explains how Bilbo came to possess the ring etc..

 

i have started reading Eragon..i want to read it before i see the movie..but i've been going to school all this month and having to read books for that makes it hard to read anything else really..

 

i have always wanted to read Michael Caines autobiography..

I am getting through my pile of books to read by sitting reading in the car and starting work on time, as opposed to getting to work and starting early. We get no recognition / award for doing extra work plus people start taking it for granted so there are two clear benefits!
