I've just finished reading Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett. *sigh* I love that book. Love the whole series. I've just had to choose which books to take to uni and it's such a wrench leaving most of the books behind

I am currently reading The Soddit. It has some stupid humour in it but is also intelligent. It is a praody of the Hobbit but that dosent matter. I have only read the first few chapters of the Hobbit but you dont need to know anything to apreciate the comedy. (Only the chapter names). I think ICWP would like it as it is pedantic.

No, my mum bought it for me before I could even see the cover. I was going to read it anyway, nice cover or not.

So you judge books by its cover, eh? Sometimes I do. If a book's got a nice cover, I'll usually be more enticed to pick it up and take a look at it. I like the smell of books. That may seem like a strange thing to say, but somtimes I sniff the pages. New books have a nice, clean, fresh smell, and old books have old, warm, sometimes faintly musty smells. Each book tends to have its own individual smell.

I'm reading this book called Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements. It's about this kid who turns invisible. It's kind of weird how the story seems to be like the episode ''Invisibility'' (there's also a neighbor name Mrs. TRENT..coincidence don't think so)

Yay! Terry! I wonder which covers you get over there the American ones or the British ones? (are you reading it in English, by the way?) The older edition British ones were cool - instantly recognisable. And the new books have cool artwork in a completely different style by another artist. But the new editions of the older books are a bit boring (well, it's what's inside that counts anyway)

Traitor.
I... never thought that Star Wars book would lend itself to 200-plus pages of psychological analysis. Especially not of Jacen Solo (Han and Leia's eldest son), a character who up until reading this book I never cared for.
Wow. Amazing book.
Ganner Rhysode screming NONE SHALL PASS, then killing thousands of Yuuzahn Vong as he dies, is also awesome. A man who became a Jedi Knight so he could play hero, treating everything as a game realised that he couldn't fight it. He had previously become cautious and unobtrusive, forsaking his heroism in attempt to be taken seriously. But that's what it was, everything was a game, and he would treat it as such, dancing with the Vong as he became one with the Force, dying like the hero he had been all along. He'd just never known it.

This cover is different from all the other ones I have of Discworld. This is how the book I'm reading at the moment looks like ^^ This is the kind of cover I get with the other books. I always spend some time looking at the cover of these books, so colourful and pretty The ones I read are in english, I usually choose english over spanish when it comes to books, they sell them in spanish as well but IMO it loses some of its funniness when they translate them.

The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov I like his satrical view of religion.
