Well, I found my John Dies At The End book so I'm going to continue reading that and save Asimov for later.

I'm so glad I found it, I was bummed that it was lost. I had to backtrack a bit but now I'm up to speed and so far, I fucking love it. It's great.

^^loved John Dies at the End! Couldn't wait to loan it to a friend so I could talk about it with someone. A movie of it has been made, but don't know when it will be released or if it will be a wide release.

Currently reading "Something wicked this way comes" by Ray Bradbury. He has amazing ideas for books, but sometimes I think he should have been an artist as he uses words in a way that is not always cohesive but instead describes a feeling or a sense. He's an impressionist writer. But then I read a perfect phrase or sentence and change my mind. Luckily Ray doesn't care what I think.

I totally have to re-read John dies at the end before the movie comes out!
(& I will be very sad if John's Chair one-liners aren't in the fight scene. “Have a seat, bitch!”)

I'm barely to the middle and I love the shit out of this book already. I'm eager to see the movie. This book is amazing.

just finished reading "The Brothers Karamazov". It was okay. Don't really see why it's a classic. It must be better in Russian.

The sequel to John Dies at the End will be coming out later this year - I think around October. It's called This Book Is Full Of Spiders. Cannot wait!

Just finished "Bite Me" by Christopher Moore. The book follows "Bloodsucking Fiends:A Love Story" and then "You Suck". Didn't expect 3rd book, so it was a nice surprise. He is so funny, with his characters, phrasing and creative cursing. Laughed out loud while reading it - while I was sitting by myself on a train.

Now starting The Sisters Brothers. Did not realize it was a western when I bought it, must admit the black and red cover design lured me in.

^OMG! I can't wait for the sequal to John Dies At The End. I'm not even all the way through this book and I fucking love it. It's creepy and hilarious at the same time!

Well..
Still in the middle of The Phantom of the Opera.
I just started John Dies @ the end.
And I'm ready to start Mockingjay.

So many books!!!
I have a lot of time to read now.

I finished John Dies At The End. Fucking awesome book. There were times when I was genuinely creeped out and times where I was laughing my ass off. Loved it.

Now I'm jumping on the Hunger Games band wagon.

I've heard a lot about it, even before the movies were being made. Looks like a great book.

^^ I mocked my friend for reading The Hunger Games series - as it's aimed at teenagers and we definitely are not. Then ended up reading them in just a few days. So enjoyed them!

 

04/02/12 10:45 AM

I don't limit myself to any book. I read Twilight, I read Harry Potter and I read Hunger Games. I like reading anything really lol.

I loved the Hunger Games, it was a brilliant story, for powerful, and unusual and kinda sick when you think about it. Can't wait to read the next in the series, which I have to buy at some point.

I don't know what I'm gonna read next. Gotta pick something from my pile of books.

Just started reading this one last night. I couldn't put it down but I had to... It was getting late.

 

04/04/12 5:52 AM

I'm just past half-way through reading "Desiree" by Annemarie Selinko. Book starts off just after the French Revolution then goes on to the rise of Napoleon. Interesting read.

I've got lots and lots of books to read, a lot of fiction, history, biography, all sorts of books. I hope I can read all of them.

 

04/05/12 10:23 AM

I finished Fated last night and WOW. That book was amazing! I felt so much emotion just reading it and the ending was beautiful in a way that kinda made me cry. I highly recommend!

Now, I'm reading this:

Don Kirshner's Rock Concert

Main article: Don Kirshner's Rock Concert
In the fall of 1972, Kirshner was asked by ABC Television to serve as executive producer and "creative consultant" for their new "In Concert" series, which aired every other week in the 11:30 p.m. slot normally showing The Dick Cavett Show. The following September, Kirshner left "In Concert" to produce and host his own syndicated weekly rock-concert program called Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. With its long-form live performances, as compared to rehearsed, often lip-synced performances that were the staple of earlier television shows like Shindig!, it was a new direction for pop music presentation. The last show aired in 1981, the year that MTV was launched.
The program presented many of the most successful rock bands of the era, but what was consistent week-to-week was Kirshner's deliberately flat delivery as the program host. In its final season Rock Concert was mostly hosted by Kirshner's son and daughter, whose delivery was the same as their father's.
Kirshner's wooden presentation style was later lampooned on Saturday Night Live by Paul Shaffer, most notably in Shaffer's introduction of the Blues Brothers during the duo's television debut. Shaffer and Kirshner worked together on the short-lived situation comedy, A Year at the Top, which Kirshner co-produced with Norman Lear, and in which Shaffer starred.[6]
In the Blue Öyster Cult song "The Marshall Plan", from the album Cultösaurus Erectus, Don Kirshner's voice is sampled to introduce the fictitious Johnny: "This is Don Kirshner. And tonight on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, a new phenomenon in the music world — with six million albums to his credit in just two short years, my good friend, here's Johnny!"
[edit]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Show Changed My Life~!. umm or it gave me a music concert addiction around 1975. heh heh
A biography of Don Kirshner just came out. The author was in Cleveland (Tremont) bookstore today book signing.
I thought I could just mention it this morning and someone would be game to go down there (like 10 miles) so I could get this book now smiling smiley but no...no interest...Really!? can you not tell how much I want to read this book Now! It's 12:30 am. I could've read this book by now. I'm sad and disappointed that nobody read my mind, or knows me enough to know that I wanted to go so bad. I know, I should've just went myself, along w/any other person in this area who gives 2 shits about Don Kirshner and his Rock Concert. I Do!

So...maybe I will share how the book was tommorrow, I hope smiling smiley sorry for the blab but I gotta take it out on somebody heh heh
