November 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 11:10 AM) I recommended that in here quite a few months ago. I adored that book. That's how I found it. I went through this thread and wrote down some titles that sounded interesting.
November 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 10:38 AM) Just finished "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline. As a child of the 80's and a slight geek, this was right in my wheelhouse. There were a couple of references that I didn't quite get because I hadn't played the game or watched the movie but I enjoyed it overall. So who can send me this for free?
November 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) So who can send me this for free? In what format? I can if you PM me an email address
November 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 02:02 PM) So who can send me this for free? Everyone. You can also just google "ready player one .epub" or "ready player one .mobi" and be good to go. Anything from mobilism is safe.
November 15, 201213 yr People read? In other nudes, should I get a Kindle for Christmas? iPad? Something else?
November 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 04:10 PM) People read? In other nudes, should I get a Kindle for Christmas? iPad? Something else? I love my Kindle paperwhite. I'd much rather read on a e-reader than a tablet.

November 16, 201213 yr QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) I love my Kindle paperwhite. I'd much rather read on a e-reader than a tablet. I've still got the original nook, but that's my opinion as well. Color touch-screen e-ink would be awesome if they can figure it out, but until then I'd rather have the dedicated reader.
November 16, 201213 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 04:10 PM) People read? In other nudes, should I get a Kindle for Christmas? iPad? Something else? Here's the deal. Nook Tablet HD gives you the ability to expand storage, Kindle Fire HD is out of the box easier to install any app. I've had my original Nook Tablet for 11 months now, and still use it every day. It's great. That being said, the competition in the "smaller tablet" has exploded. If I were shopping today, I'd be looking at the Nexus 7 or 10 (probably 10, I love to use my Nook at the gym and stream HBO Go, Amazon Prime Instant Video, or Netflix and just watch shows. Makes burning the calories no big deal. Then just download the kindle app or the nook app and read your books as if it were a Fire or Nook. No real reason to not get something that out of the box opens you up to the Google Play Market. Edited November 16, 201213 yr by Steve9347
November 18, 201213 yr Author It has been nothing but Faulkner the past three months. Sanctuary, Absalom! Absalom!, Go Down Moses, Wild Palms, Pylon, they are all blurring together. I am looking forward to a bit of fun reading as soon as the semester is over. Border Crossing: Walking the Haiku Path on the International Appalachian Trail by Ian Marshall http://www.modernhaiku.org/bookreviews/Marshall2012.html firelight spreading farther than its heat remembering an old flame every wave the sea revising its last line the map after the trip creases and stories every which way

November 19, 201213 yr I just finished "Colonial Roosevelt" by Edmund Morris, which was a great book. I learned a ton about the guy. http://www.amazon.com/Colonel-Roosevelt-Ed...s/dp/0375757074
November 19, 201213 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Nov 19, 2012 -> 02:06 PM) The Surrender by Toni Bentley. Oooh. I googled it. Apparently it is a book about a woman who loves being f***ed in the butt. Nice.

Beyond anything else, the guy was just crazy.

Beyond anything else, the guy was just crazy. He was pretty crazy. He was completely obsessive about anything he got into. It pretty much got one of his kids killed, and a couple of them pretty seriously hurt.

November 27, 201213 yr Anybody else read the Dresden Files? The 14th in the series came out today. Can't wait to get reading once I'm off work.
November 27, 201213 yr Wow, if not for need for sleep, gym, work, I wouldn't have put down 'Double Cross: The True Story of the D-Day Spies' By Ben Macintyre
November 30, 201213 yr Ugh, Dance with Dragons SUCKED. I'm with Zoom from a few months ago - the last 2 books blew. They took forever to get through and very little happened. So disappointed. I found myself skipping pages of DoD just to get it over with. I'm sure i'll pick up the new one, whenever it comes out, but i'm not at all jazzed about it like I was moving onto book 3. Moving on to The Passage. Book one of three about some kind of post-apocalyptic world. Heard very good things.

I might give it another chance one day.
