I didn't find it particularly interesting. The court part of it was good but extremely short. Prior to reading that I read Caesar and enjoyed it much more. I didn't expect that.

Has anyone read "The Pact"?

Read 1984 by George Orwell and you'll never have to read another book again.

Just read that for my second time, the similarities are scary.

I really like Lord of the Flies and Heart of Darkness.

Invisible Man

No, not sci-fi.. :/

I fell asleep reading the book itself, but when I did manage to get through it, I was extremely satisfied. It's a book we read in my Honors American Literature class last year about this black man that goes through all this stuff and decides to live the "invisible" life, rather than trying to do more than someone of his race could do at the time (it's back in oppression days).

Like I said, it's not entirely a total attention grabbing book (think like, ender's game, I could read that all day) but it's definitely worth a read if you're into all that American Lit type stuff.

Honestly, I don't really read books, and I don't like them. But there was TWO books I did like.

Ice Fire the 2 book series. Has anyone else read that?

Has anyone read any Dean Koontz books? I have almost read all of them, and was wondering what other people thought of his books.

I reaally liked Ghosts of Onyx.
I've read it about four times over on my own, and used it twice for English class o.o

"The Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy" Greatest sci-fi book ever written. A classic. One that will endure until the end of time. One of my favorites

Indeed. I have the Ultimate version with the paper they use in bibles.

That whole "trilogy" is amazing.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 5:58 pm

Oh, that's without a doubt.

shadowkhas · Post by **shadowkhas** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 6:38 pm

Indeed. I've actually been meaning to ask my friend for the Ultimate version so that I can reread it, and I'm going to get the TV show from the library. However strange it was, I rather liked it, even though it skipped around a lot. Much better than the movie, even though Mos Def played Ford really well in it.

Hawaiian Modder · Post by **Hawaiian Modder** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 6:51 pm

I watched the movie and it was hilarious. I don't read and I doubt i'd be willing to read the book, but I'm wondering how the episodes compare to the movie?

bibbit · Post by **bibbit** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 7:29 pm

I haven't seen the whole movie, but I've seen parts. I think it's probably worth reading. You get the same amount of hilarity, at least.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 7:43 pm

The book was by far considerably more funny than the movie. It's the way Douglas Adams writes, not necessarily the jokes the people say, in my opinion.
