I'm also reading 'The Hunger Games'.
It's amazing! I don't think I've ever read a book as fast as I've been reading this. :o :D 8-)

Already finished 'The Hunger Games'. :lol: I was expecting it to be good, based on the hype, but I didn't expect it to be THAT good. :D :o
I've now started Tina Fey's hilarious 'Bossypants'.

^ 'Faust' is probably one of my favorite books. :D
One of the most brilliant things I've ever read, I'm actually thinking of reading it again myself in the near future.

I read 2 of Christopher Brookmyre's books last week - Snowball in Hell and One Fine Day In The Middle of the Night.

Both brilliant. Have A Big Boy Did & Ran Away to get started on next.

Brookmyre is genius.

read crime and punishment as a requirement for school when I was 11.

That book was really intense for me.

:o :o :o C&P is very mature and to deep for a 11-year old child. It wasn't that intense for me (I'm 15), but it was still a great book.

I've got to say people just don't realise the schocking way, Dostoyevsky deals with crime. :o

My teacher was this guy that was huge on education. He had us reading all kinds of adult books.

It was really intense, but I remember reading it for days straight, and sweating each time I look away from the book to go eat dinner, or take a bath.

He introduced me to delirium, in the book. Since the character spent some time that way, and I thought I was delirious mostly while reading it. Hehe.

the story is still too mature. Sonia, Katerina and Raskolnikov are really not characters for children. The crime scene must be really frightening at that age. :-?

Almost done with Nick Hornby's 'Juliet, Naked'. Great read so far, he has that very modern feel in his writing and always manages to make the pages interesting even when nothing spectacular happens.
Almost as good as 'High Fidelity' (all the pop-culture references in that book made it stand out in a unique way, and even though 'Juliet, Naked' also shares that particular approach on the subject of music, it somehow doesn't feel like re-hashing the same process), and miles better than the rather disappointing 'A Long Way Down'.

Great to see that somebody is reading Dostoyevsky.
We read many of his writings in the HS. :D

I've been blown away by the TV series so I decided to also try the books.

Great book, I already posted about it recentley here... It's very warm novel, funny, current and easy to read but yet somehow it has that deeper side to the story..
And as a fanboy myself, I think that guy's obssesion with singer was very convicing and well written :D
