Uhhh... So anyone read any good books lately?

[annoyinglad]

I was just reading Les Miserables. It's a pretty good book. It's about a guy named Jean Valjean who steals a loaf of bread and is sent to jail. He is kept there for a long time because he attempts to escape a few times. Once he is finally released he goes to a town and steals from a bishop. Then he gets caught again and is brought back to the bishop's house. The bishop claims he GAVE the silverware and candle posts (this is around the French Revolution, that stuff was very valuable) to Jean Valjean, so he wasn't stealing. Once the men leave, the bishop tells Jean Valjean to take the silver as a signing of a contract that he will use the money to become a good, honest man. Then there's a whole lot of things to do with this effort towards doing so. A LOT happens and it gets REALLY interesting.

Right now I'm reading The Last Lecture. It's mostly a biography about Randy Pausch, but he talks about his childhood dreams and how you can complete yours and a lot of life lessons he's learned. It's really cool.

So what is everyone else reading (if anything)?

[PileOPapers]

It was a bit of joke and a bit of fact, I read text-only books too but I read mostly comics

I've recently read the book "I Am A Taxi" (the book is WAY better then the title)
It revolves around a little boy named Diego. Who lives in jail with him mother. He has to live in a jail because his dad is also in jail. He is technically a "taxi" he runs arrands for people in the jail and gets paid. Then he wants to make more money and goes off with these big men to make money with Cocaine.

I Am A Taxi? That must be one of the weird titles I have heard of, I got a little smile of that. According to your book desc., the title doesn't suit the story very well (my opinion)

[ShadowsOfSilver]

Warrior Cats series. :3

If you like cats, you should check it out.

It's amazing.

Talking about cats, what about Pussy in Boots? You know, the Childbook thing from the 90's? I just came over it while i saw your post...

Illusions. Read it in school. I liked it, very thought provoking, but it was kinda short and confusing....
I'm currently reading Darwin Awards 3.

I hate when we have book-reading-weeks on school. We have to write a report and a desc. of the book. The last book I REALLY liked was Harry Potthead and the Deadly Hallows or something...

Wow that sounds like a good book and ya the book sounds way better than the title. Do you know what section it might be in the Library so i can check out the book if they have it?

Ok I wouldn't go that far...maybe just put them in the back seat of my car and drive it off a cliff after I jump out the window.

But it still kinda brings me back to my point...I think this is the first time i've actually even slightly disagreed with you.

I am reading a very interesting book by Jules Verne, it's called ''Un capitaine de qinze ans'' or ''Dick Sand, A Captain at Fifteen'' in English. 

Is a very interesting book, I'll recomend some of you to read it, because it's very interesting, I'm still reading it sometimes, but I'm still at the first part.

[cobo5951]

So says you. But books make my brains get boo-boos. Unless they are video game related!

But reading a novel is like suicide for me...
