WAYR *Get me out of this Dome edition*

So what current book are you reading and how do you like it so far? I just finished Skeleton Crew by Stephen King last week, which was excellent and today I started reading Under the Dome which is his latest work. So far it's very interesting, though it is a daunting 1000 pages so I hope things pick up as I get a little further into it.

I really want to read that. I just saw the movie two weeks ago and it was a total mind**** of a film, which is my favorite type of movie.

American Creation by Joseph J. Ellis. Once I get through that I have A Country of Vast Designs by Robert Merry to finish.

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"] Not without my permission. :x :P I'm reading Shutter Island. Good so far, but kinda slow.Theokhoth

To be totally honest, I didn't know it was a book until I saw the film. Martin Scorsese is one of my favorite directors though, so that's why I was originally even interested in the movie. Well, I can say if the book follows the pattern of most books being superior to their film adaptions, then you are in for a great story, even if it is slow at first.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Just started reading 'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett. I'm finding it interesting and well written, but I'm only about 30 pages in.

Before that I re-read 'Pirate Latitudes' by Michael Crichton, it's such a good book, and I love his writing so much. When I read it, I feel like I'm eating beef with my eyes :lol:

I'm not reading anything right now...I did start reading Angels and Demons a few months ago, though.

I'm currently reading 1776

Another book I've been in the middle of for the past year and a half is Eldest by Christopher Paolini. Can anyone tell me if the book, and series, gets any better cause I have been stalemated at the halfway marker by a very slow, drawn out, and quite lackluster book. I was a big fan of Eragon, but only cause of the potential it showed. I don't want to keep forcing myself through it if its not going to get any better.

Hmm.. Well, doesn't look like they are going to adapt either of the other two books to film, so I guess I'll just have to suck it up and blow through Eldest this week. When I am reading with purpose, I can pretty much zoom through a book in about a day.

[QUOTE="Theokhoth"] I liked the third book, but I'm in the minority. :PTheokhoth

I think the fastest for me was either Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix or Swan Song. OotP was over 800 and I read it in a day and a half. Swan Song was 986 pages and I read it in two days.

Reading Atlas Shrugged. Was a bit intimidated by its length, but so far (300 pages in), it's really good.

Not reading anything right now. Waiting for my copy of Stephen King's Night Shift to arrive in the mail. Pretty much the only book of his I don't have, stupid chapters doesn't carry it here.Ace6301

Have you read Under the Dome? I'm about 5 chapters in and it's pretty grisly and mysterious so far. It really has a Lost feel to it cause there's a bunch of weird ass **** going on and nobody knows wtf is happening.

I didn't realize people didn't like his newer works.... I've read Cell, which was really good, but tbh I've only recently been getting into King. His type of writing didn't use to appeal to me for some reason so it was difficult for me to get into his books. Plus he has a LOT of great film adaptions for his books so I used to just watch all those.

I'm reading "Memories of Ice" by Steven Erikson.

Im reading outliers. Not a novel, but still really interesting.

Interesting what's that about?

I got interested in it when I saw the Dresden Files show, and I needed a book for when I went travelling.

It's really good.
