reading

[metalfossil]

The thread about BB really had me wondering does anyone hear read anymore?

I watch as little tv as possible. I'd much rather put on a cd and read a book. Currently I've just finished reading the lastest Repairman Jack novel and I'm about halfway through Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston's Cabinet of Curiosities with special FBI agent Pendergast. Oh, and Lee Child's Jack Reacher series is also worth picking up.

Anybody else?

I read Just Commodores if that counts? lol.
I have only read one book by choice and it was "Suddenly one sunday" the martin briant story. It was the first week of the school holidays and i spent 4 days in bed reading, didnt go riding or out with my mates, just sat and read, the weirdest thing i've ever done, but that is a really good book. I dont have time to read anymore, only time i read a book is if im studying

I just finished the Bourne series, not long ago re-read The God Delusion, great book. I much prefer to read then watch the shyte on TV.

Is tv guide a book? haha

I'd prefer to be outdoors than read or what bloody crap TV. If i do watch TV, i watch doco's on the Crime Investigation Channel or Discovery Channel.

Much rather be out in the fresh air.

lol, i read on flights and while waiting for flights etc. Pretty hard to be outdoors while on a plane

Unless you were superman. Or were skydiving

I use to read heaps, but now days i just can't sit down and read, i usually need to be doing something. But when I do get the urge I read Dean Koontz, Clive Cussler and Mathew Riley.

My missus works for a public library, so if i need something i just text her and ask her to bring something home. She can read a book a night, and usually has 20 or so books at home at any one time, and then wonders why she can't find one that is overdue!! lol.

[Macca&Mrs]

I read heaps. I read all the sad, and depressing stories. Like My Story by Dave Pelzer, Inheriting Jack by Kathy Webb & Chris Watson (?).

But I have just picked up Mao's Last Dancer, which is a little different to what I normally read. For some stupid reason it would seem I like to make myself cry lol.

Emo? ^^^^ Grow a fringe and comb it over your eyes? I'm kidding of course

[nicko]

Dont mind doing a bit of reading. Read the underbelly book, ice man (great book), scar tissue is good too. Atm im reading a book about ALI its goes into soo much detail. Problem with me is when i start reading a book ill just read it non stop until i fall asleep or finish it they never last long enough

One thing I can't do is read a book and then watch a movie based on the book, or watch a movie and then read the book. Very rarely do they follow the book, they'll use the concept of the book and title and that is usually as close as they get. they suck!!

The Bourne movies are not to far off the book. Adaptions can be hard. For me I still am yet to watch LOTR movies. I grew up reading LOTR and refuse to let my imagination be tampered with when I re-read the books.

LOTR are also one of the few very well done adaptations, you may or may not be a little disappointed (depending on how pedantic you are), but they are well worth the watch.
