guess what i'm reading~

Jericho

OOH! OOH! I know this one! XD

Seriously though, I overloaded on Dune for a high school paper that should have gotten me a spot in the high tier English class. That is until some douche of a teacher in the Eng department said I plagiarized the paper due to like a half of a line I wrote that was similar sounding to an internet paper.

Protoman Blues

I can't believe they're seriously thinking of making ANOTHER Dune movie too.  I mean, the first one (awesome as I find it) wasn't really good because the book is so damn big and informative that it doesn't translate well to a single movie.  I thought the Sci-Fi (SyFy) Series did a good job of it.

Also, gonna read Lewis Black's Nothing Sacred.

Quickman

I'm starting on Coruscant Nights II: Streets of Shadows tonight.  Last night, I had finished Prisoner of the Daleks.  That brings my summer reading to about five or six books now.

I've read thus far...

A Princess of Mars
Coruscant Nights I: Jedi Twilight
Outbound Flight
Allegiance
When Gravity Fails
Prisoner of the Daleks

Rin

I'm currently reading(once again) Sourcery by Terry Pratchett. Then I'm going to read "Science of Discworld 1" AND then Night Watch. All by Pratchett.

Night

I don't read books much. The only think I can read are a couple of comic books laying around.


And that strange magazine #40 carries around...

One mention of LEGENDS and everyone goes batshit.  :\

Yep, every time when someone mentions that game people get energized for an apparent reason whatsoever. It's like this everywhere else, trust me.

It got really messy to find my sprite and comic topic, so it's in my sig.

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

I had a teacher that said it was plagiarism if three words in a sentence were the same.
[parasitic bomb] sucked.

Alice in Entropy

I'm currently (re)reading Terry Pratchett's Monstrous Regiment. I got it a few years ago, got halfway through and got bored. Reading it again, I can appreciate the humour a lot more. It's a very good book. I'd reccomend it to fans of political satire.

The Drunken Dishwasher

Sloooooooooooooooooooooowly, considering i'm a lazy [tornado fang].  Interview w/ the Vampire.  Guin Saga The Leopard Mask will have to keep waiting >.>'

Dr. Wily II

Alice in Quantumland, by Robert Gilmore.

I'm watching you all. Always watching.

Quickman

Currently it's Coruscant Nights II: Street of Shadows by Michael Reeves.  After that I plan to read Primitive by JF Gonzalez.

Alice in Entropy

Ross O'Carroll-Kelly: Should Have Got Off At Sydney Parade by Paul Howard. Like the other books in the Ross O'Carroll-Kelly saga, it's hilarious.

I'm watching you all. Always watching.

Afro-Shroom

As was I when I saw the title. A very interesting book about not only their history but also about their possible future as well.
