Just wondering if anyone reads books anymore, lol!

Read any good ones lately?
I'm looking for something good to read, fantasy type stuff mostly.

Have you read the Ender's Game series?

dvd871 · « **Reply #2 on:** October 19, 2006, 12:29:25 AM »

Haven't read that. Who is the author?

Comrade Ravenhawk · « **Reply #3 on:** October 19, 2006, 07:34:00 PM »

Orson Scott Card

Looks like it could be interesting.

Zeggy · « **Reply #5 on:** October 20, 2006, 01:00:05 PM »

I recommend Matthew Reilly books, or John Grisham's

Go try the 'for Dummies' series... you learn something and have a good time in the process.

I agree with scriptstealer on that one. Im not really the reading type. Not when it comes to books anyway. I only read if I want to learn something new and that don't get me far. I borrowed a couple of php books from the library and can admit I didn't learn anything.

If anyone does know of some easy to learn php books then please let me know. It's something I would like to learn but it has to be step by step and idiot proof

Have you read the magic the gathering set?

dvd871 · « **Reply #11 on:** January 08, 2007, 04:43:41 PM »

Haven't read the magic sets yet. Never could really figure that game out, but then the few that I did try to learn from didn't know how to play anyways, lol...

I read the Davinci Code once. It was cool

its really not that hard, you just have to know when you can play your monsters enchants sorceries and stuff like that.
u put out 1 land after you draw per turn this is called your upkeep. if you have something in your hand that says it takes 1mana to play, you tap your land to add 1 to your mana pool(mana pool is an imaginary place where mana ends up when you tap lands, once it is used it dissapears) the mana cost at the top of the card usually has one element there, and a colorless number, the colorless means that the mana cost can be payed with any type of land such as forest, island, blah blah. The elemental one means that it can only be payed with that kind. For example if the card said 2 colorless and 1 island. I would tap a flame and forest for the colorless(because it doesn't matter what you tap for that) and I would have to tap an island.

Hey, I played Magic the Gathering as well

It was fun! I played it many years ago though, I think I've almost forgotten how to play

The Ender's Game series is awesome

I'm reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin right now and I'm on book 3 A Storm of Swords

I'm a huge fantasy fan myself and the serie A Song of Ice and Fire is something I definately want to read. But sadly, these books are quite uncommon where I live.

I recently finished the wheel of time series. Or at least got to the last book (the new one has been said to appear sometime 2007/08).

Robert Jordan's 'Wheel of Time' Series is amazing IMO

As is Terry Brook's Shannarah stuff.

I read way too much.

The last book I read was The Neverending Story, by Michael Ende.

Yeah, I'm a huge Grisham fan! In fact, I just read 8 Grisham books within a two week period! Hehe, you just can't put them down!

Sinzygy · « **Reply #20 on:** August 15, 2007, 09:16:25 AM »

If his books are that great, I might go and get some from my dad's library.

bullarky · « **Reply #21 on:** August 15, 2007, 11:08:27 AM »

Well you've got to like the whole lawyer/law aspect. Some books have more in it than others. If you're not a huge fan of that stuff, start with one with a little more action like "A Time to Kill" or "The Client".

Sinzygy · « **Reply #22 on:** August 15, 2007, 11:15:04 AM »

Oh, didn't know what he was writing about and thought I'd just try one out.
law...hmm.... not really my favorite book-content. Oh well, I still might try one of those books. thx

Twisted · « **Reply #23 on:** September 25, 2007, 08:10:00 PM »

I read books. Sci-fi and Fantasy are my preferences.

I couldn't agree more.They both are great read.

One other serie I'd like to reccomend is Rifwar Saga. Its better than A Song of Fire and Ice in my opinion. The world Raymond Feist has build is so realistic (for a fantasy literature) and its very well written.
