Have fun reading!

I just read 1984 not too long ago, it's a masterpiece but somewhat hard to read. As in, it took me a few times through to really understand it.

Hahaha Yup, he is a sly little chap I am liking more & more.

Am loving the book btw. Have received "A Dance with Dragons" Saturday, so have the series complete till book 6&7 are officially out later

i just watched the newest episode last night. omg

but the 2nd book is dragging a bit. i understand why all the stuff is in there but it's still dragging, lol.

another book i'd suggest is The Serial Killers Club by Jeff Povey. it's sadistic but hilarious

I'm finishing 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' by Bill Bryson - it's kinda guide book on science, informative but fun to read, written by non-scientist for ordinary people.

*Random science fact I learned from it today: how fast man's beard grows partially depends on how often that man thinks about sex (because thinking about sex causes increased production of testosterone

Have you seen last Sunday's episode...in the 1st 3 minutes I went to WTF    Loved seeing a bit more from Drogon & Khaleesi.
Love it!

Still on Book One as I don't have a lot of time to read sadly..

Another recommendation from my side is: "Bone by Bone" by Carol O'Connell if you are into thrillers. Very good book , well written

omg yes! i was so mad by the end of that ep though because of what happened! LOL

keep going, it's totally worth it! book 2 is a little boring in the middle but i think i've gotten past it and now it's getting very very interesting...the 2nd season switches the scenes around more but in a good way so that people don't get bored watching as much as reading

i'll have to check that one out! sounds good i like thrillers/mysteries/horror

im feeling rather sad now that ive finished book 2 though, ive become more And more disappointed with the show
BUT
i do understand how impossible it is to have it be exact And in order to save time/money/hiring out extras for bit parts to fill the roles its much much easier to cut, condense, change scenes with characters
i do
i understand
lol
but SOME things should not be changed heheheh

I just finished Paulo Coelho The Devil And Miss Prym and I remembered after a couple of pages why I never read any more books by him after my first experience with The Alchemist a few years ago! Sorry to say but I don't think he is such a good writer as people claim he is, in my opinion. But I do recommend this book if you like these kind of books, that is all about life decisions. (Which you kind of already know, you don't really need someone to write a story about it)
