@empyrion-
How is that? I read Dune but my friend told me the others in the series aren't as good.

@eyetwitch-
Have you seen the movie? It got Best Picture the year it was made.

@Topic-
Right now I'm reading Bless Me Ultima, but am awaiting Brisingr's release.

Necro, no actually i haven't.  I'm not a fan of movies made out of books...except for of course LOTR which ironically is my favorite movie (the last one)...and neither is my teacher, in fact he hates them.  So i'll have to go look it up on my own time.  Although, i think it will ruin the book, which as i said was amazing...

I'm reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for school.  On the side I'm reading The Count of Monte Christo, and some books by H.P Lovecraft.

I love reading novels. Pretty much any genre.

I am currently on When The Wind Blows. I actually just finished it. It is an excellent book that i think anyone will love. It's by James Patterson (he does great novels).

I'm not a fan of movies made out of books

For the most part movies made out of books suck. You just can not portray what is written in a book.

There are a few good ones though. An example is The Lord Of The Rings. Those were outstanding movies and the books were mindbogglingly good.

An example of a bad movie series is Harry Potter. The books will blow your midn with there brilliance and how in depth they are, but the movies absolutely suck and give the series a bad name.

@quakingphear, i just finished The Count of Monte Cristo about a week ago for a summer reading assignment for school, it's amazing.

the book i'm currently reading though is called The Brothers Karamazov. it's a Russian classic that challenges the existence of god and asks all of man's ultimate questions supposedly.
