Drew Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) I wish I had time on my hands to do stuff like that. Not that, just something fun haha. My life is just filled with uni and work these days a wonderful life I live haha What are you reading Jem?

emmasi Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 "The Service of Clouds" (as pointless and pretentious as it sounds) and "Starship Troopers." Starship Troopers isn't bad, I'm just not that interested in reading about boot camp in space or otherwise... plus it makes me feel ways about things, and I'm too tired to give it the amount of thought it requires. If I had the energy to care, and if reading didn't bore me stupid as it is, I'd give Starship Troopers a proper go, but Service of Clouds can go to hell. I'm not finishing that.

Drew Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Are the readings for something you're studying? Or you just picked random books to read? I'm actually reading an interesting book at the moment, Twilight, about vampires and stuff.. It's pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmasi Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) Studying - I rarely read for pleasure, although I was getting into Stephen King. Have I mentioned that "Pet Sematary" is awesome?? We only ever seem to study books about racism and feminism, and it gets really old REALLY quickly. Starship Troopers is different (so far), it's about the nature and purpose of war, which is interesting in theory, but there's a lot of reading about how everyone keeps "bouncing" around and dying and getting injured and I'm like "I don't care. This isn't a story, this is statistics." In reality, I'm sure it's a very well thought out and executed story, but I'm just not getting into it because of the army setting. Army stuff bores me. Except Roman... People keep talking to me about Twilight - I don't have the time or the inclination. I have so many other things I have to read and things I want to read that I won't be able to for weeks >.< Edited September 7, 2008 by emmasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 You are reading Twilight???? Didn't think that was your stuff, although you do write fics about vampires lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 What are you studying Jem? Of course Deany I love all fantasy/supernatural stories... But I rarely read... A few people just kept telling me how good the story was, so now I'm reading it... and yeah, it's good... Apprently it's being made into a movie, so have to watch out for it.

emmasi Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 "Australian Literature" and "Speculative Fiction." They're the ones I have to read for. Actually I do have two Creative Writing subjects as well, and I need to review a couple of books for them. Maybe I can read Twilight for one of those... If I have time...

Dean Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Yeah, in November or December I think. I have finished Twilight, so now all I have to do is finish the three mammoth sequels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I recommend it, it's pretty good. Yeah, the sequels I'll go on the hunt for them on Thursday, ship up and have a reading marathon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
