Most of the time I finish 2 - 3 books before the project so I have my choice of what to do the report on. Any one have any suggestions on what book I should read.

Read American Psycho by Bret Easton-Ellis.

I've read it before and the book after and i have to say that they're pretty well written!

A Childed Called IT, A Lost Boy, and A Man Named Dave are all epic books. I have read them all many times.

I loved that book! it was so sad. I want to read the other two as soon as I can get them, rather as soon ad DJ Connect goes and gets them so i can read them lol :)

Well as soon as we get the money to put them on my book shelf you can read them. Or there is this magical place called the Library and they let you borrow there books for free.

Atm, I've been reading 1984, and some of Allan Poe works. Here a little poem which I consider my favorite I've created. And as a note, if any of you trying to pass this off as your work, i have copyrighted it ^^.

The Feeling Through Music

Music is a language, one's thoughts through beats,
The power of words is sometimes too strong,
And lyrics are censored.

It is wisdom that people seek,
Untill the end of time.
What would life be without music?

The fall of music will be forever lost.
Life will go on, but our soul will have no reason to live.
Without the smoothness of beats and rhymes.

When children hit the first chord, they become happy.
When a maestro fills a theater with music, he becomes happy.
When the elderly hear music from their time, they are reminded of times when they were happy.

Music is inspiring, intellectual,
Wonderful, creative, brilliant.
Music makes us think.

I play the music. I enjoy the music. I create the music.
Music makes you cry, happy, mad, excited.
All these things make music wonderful.

That's why I love it.

Twilight is the best book ever.

Great poem, I can really relate to that. I create music and love music and know how it can change your mood. It does remind you of things and it can boost the mind to new heights. Really wonderful.

Both Poe and Orwell are excellent! As for 1984, thats a really awesome book, quite scary to think if we ever had a global revolution like that for real!!!

Has anyone read Of Mice and Men? I started it today... and finished it. Shortest book I've ever read in my life. I wasn't too crazy over the ending.

Yea of Mice and Men was a good book, I read it freshmen year. I liked the ending, I never though it would end that way.

**SPOILER**

I knew that Lennie was eventually going to die, and I admit I was surprised at how, but it's not really the kind of book I liked. It was way too short too, I finished it in a few hours.

**END SPOILER**

It was short but I think that is a good thing. I don't think I would have read a long version of that.

Has anyone read the second chapter of In the Wake of Sin yet? I'd appreciate some feedback.

Well good news to me, I'm going to start reading The Odyssey,which is a greek story by herodotus i beleive, and i have heard some great things! Has anyone else read the book yet, if so was it okay?

The entire thing? Seriously? We're only reading an excerpt from it... lucky!

We read a few books of it freshmen year as well. I wasn't real interested in it though. I just can't place my self inside the book if you know what I mean.

lol no excerpts to but i read the whole thing while the rest were taking the easy way out. i'm a book worm like that :)

Wow the whole thing? You must have had no life, lol.

I enjoy reading, and this coming from the guy who read every book on the book shelf + some? I thought it was a good book. I like Greek mythology, they kinda go along with my fantasy books i like. (and you know i have no life! why do you think i chill at your house all day :P)

I didn't know you liked Greek mythology. This is true I am a book worm as well. Yea I don't have much of a life other then you, books, school (sometimes), and computers. The written word is a fantastic thing. It can paint the most vivid pictures in your mind and arouse all your senses. It is just wonderful.

you sound smart in that post...who don't you sound like that normally? lol. I do, I like getting out of the real world. thats why I'm reading the Green Rider books now. They paint a great picture, and its a great story line. They are kinda short though, theres three of them.

If anyone has the time, they should explain to you everything that was wrong with that sentance.

...But anyway. I'm almost finished Dragonlance, I'm on page 1025 currently.

So your almost done:) I'm a fast reader, the last book I read was about 800 and i finished it in two nights. What is the book about? I have never heard of it.

And as for DJ. I'm looking at your desk and see three programing books, maybe i should just hide them on you ;)
