Tireth - Yeah. Can you recommend any? I do like dark.
No mangas, though. I just... can't get into the Japanese style of humor and plots and stuff. Everything I've tried has made me feel like hurting myself/someone/small children. Ugh. >> Birds are cool! Sometimes when I'm bored I just stare out the window and watch them for a while. Especially when there's squirrels. Right now it's too cold, so most of them are just eating and then going back to their nests. But when there's nicer weather, they like to play. It's so cute. They'll chase each other around the yard. The younger ones will wrestle with each other. Sometimes they'll find an empty corn cob or a stick and start wrestling with that. THAT is hilarious to watch. xDD They'll like, pounce on it, grab it, roll onto their back, kick it, run away, turn around and watch it, then jump on it again. So cute. |
@jessie - noooooo call me leenie. :3
@cherry - yes, well. manga can do that. XD anywho. sandman is my first rec. neil gaiman, blahblah, it's awesome. period. my stepdad has kidnapped my volumes to keep with the two he bought in the downstairs bookcase. T_T and then you can't go wrong with sin city. there's a few separate plots which is a little confusing at first, but you'll get used to it as you read. i can't recommend much else because that's all i've read (that's not manga. XD) i am working on fixing that though. @[email protected] the squirrels here are monsters. HUGE. D: ps. AUGHJKHSDFGEUWEHT. there's this awesome quote that mulder says and i had it saved in a txt file on my computer and now i'm trying to find it again, but i can't find it anywhere. T______T even checking a transcript site ctrl+f-ing some key words i remember, but nothing! DDDDD: i'm 95% sure it's from the first season, though, so i guess i'll have to go back and watch them all AGAIN. damn my memory. |
Tireth - I actually wanted to see Sin City pretty soon. So I'll look into that. :D Along with V.
Try googling it? Maybe someone posted the quote online somewhere. You'd be surprised by how many quotes are online. I mean, unless the quote was particularly irrelevant to anyone but you. |
@tire: NEVAHHHH. muahahahahahah -goes back to reading-
|
@cherry - the movie was pretty awesome. :3 (bruce willis, squee)
i said damn my memory because i only remember a few words from the quote. and even those are guessed at. i even checked the wiki quote page, a quote site and the transcripts. nuttin. :[ @jessie - ... ::cries:: |
over the last few days I've read a lot these have been added to my list
2. The Cat Who Played Brahms - Lilian Jackson Braun 3. Holes - Louis Sachar 4. Influences - Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen 5. Bone Crossed - Patricia Briggs Holes was really good and the movie stuck really true to the book. Influences was very good if your into fashion and art. It's all interviews with fashion designs, architects, artists, photographers...and how they were influenced artistically. Bone Crossed came out yesterday and I finished it early today. I love most of Patricia Briggs' writing. |
@tire: MUAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. I think I shall lord this over you for a while before getting tired of it xD.
|
@Leenie: You know you love my fifteen percent increase. It makes me amazing. XD
|
@ Melissa - Oooo. Cat Who books! I love Lillian's writing, and her mysteries (and the cats' reactions to them) are captivating! I ... might have to re-read the books of hers that I own... :D
|
I'm reading Paper Towns at the moment. Surprisingly good considering I picked it at random off a shelf in Target...
|
@shadow: What's it about?
|
Whoo. Just updated my list. There was a bunch of things I need to add to my to-read pile and wishlist.
You can find my list easily by clicking the avi art in my sig. :D |
Kamikaze Kendra - hehe yeah I'm working my way through the series. I'm on The Cat Who Played Post Office. I love Braun's characters. Every character no matter how big or small of a part they played all seem important.
|
@jessie - ;_; meanie.
@dani - hey, i'm almost at a 350 average. and sabriel should boost it up a bit more once i'm done with it. @shadow - i kept looking at that at the store and wondering why there were two covers for it. let me know how it goes, though. ps. augh!! the local convention starts tomorrow and i will be going by myself. >:[ and then coraline is opening tomorrow as well. OHMYGOD, FEBRUARY, STOP EATING ME. pps. sabriel spoilers? i totally forgot how awkward sabriel gets once she meets touchstone. even before she meets him, he's all a wooden, naked figurehead and there's mention of detail of his penis. >_>;; and then, two chapters later, sabriel thinks of mentioning that touchstone putting hot candles in a pocket in his kilt could be potentially hazardous. and then in the next chapter, touchstone explains that because they are traveling together, unless he explains it by being her "sworn swordsman" they could be assumed to be ILLICIT LOVERS. <3 of course, me being the same age as sabriel makes me giggle in explosions. wood. kilt. illicit. giggle. :3 |
Tireth: I've been mentally pronouncing your username pretty much the way you say it is, but with a silent t at the end. Coraline doesn't come out until the 8th of May here. Wah.

Melissa: I read Holes in secondary school and they gave us 2 for 1 vouchers to see the film. I enjoyed them both too. ^^ I finished my Torchwood book and I've started the one I borrowed from the library. They have it in my sixth form library too, but people were talking to me so I just put it down. |
Tireth - LOL it's been a long time since I've read Sabriel. I love those books, I always just find myself rereading Abhorsen....oh....and I'm so excited to see Coraline, I read the books years ago and fell in love with it.
Kat - thirded? LOL I've read so many Neil Gaiman books it's sad. -__-; I really love his graphic novels the best. Torchwood!?! I'm reading Almost Perfect, the one where Ianto wakes up a girl. XDDDD Cherry - adfadfajkfeafdaf I've been trying to find "Tomorrow When the War Began" - John Mardsen for years now but bookstores don't carry it anymore. I should just buy it offline...I remember reading that book when I was a kid and its been stuck in my head ever since. |
Melissa - Aww. D: If you lived near me I'd lend it to you.
I just found it randomly at a book store when I younger. Here, Amazon has it: http://www.amazon.com/Tomorrow-When-...3873176&sr=8-1 Super cheap, too, if you get it used or new from a third party seller. |
So, I finally got to the library yesterday. I looked for Twilight, but they didn't have it. They don't really have many newer books at all. It's a small library. The county is still debating whether or not they're going to rebuild our bigger, better library.
I did get a few books, though. Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, Where the Heart Is, two Lurlene McDaniel books, and one Lori Foster book. I finished one of the Lurlene McDaniel books in a few hours yesterday, and now, I'm reading the Lori Foster book. It's a lot different from her other two books I read. |
Isn't Lurlene McDaniel that chick who writes about people who die all the time? ._ . Why do you want to read something so depressing! xD;
|
She writes about people with illnesses. They don't necessarily die. I just get really into the books. They're interesting. The one I read yesterday, Angels in Pink: Kathleen's Story, her mom has MS, and she's doing a volunteer program with her friends at a hospital for the summer. It was a cute little story.
And, I just like sad stuff. Books, movies, songs... It's all good. |
I used to be obsessed with Lurlene McDaniel's books. I read all the ones at my library, and yet kept going back to see if they had gotten any new ones. My favorite ones were the One Last Wish series.
|
Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister was a great book . .. it was the first book I read by him :yes:
I know my library owns 6 copies of Twilight - but they're all constantly out and there's a huge hold list of people waiting for them |
Has anyone ever read The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson? A friend of mine just recommended it to me this morning, saying I'll like it. Anyone have an opinion?
|
@kat - yay, you are successful in not making me cry. 8D
and well, you know, that's sad, but gaiman was hinting on his blog about a coraline tour for the movie over there. but 8th of may. that would have been an awesome birthday present. (18 days early, but whatever. |D) lucifer is... another gn? i really need to look into reading more. don't worry, i totally @melissa - ohman, i've had the coraline book for years and just never got the chance to read it, then recently i found the audiobook at my bookstore for $10. i mean, who can pass that up? it took me a few tries to get through it, though, because gaiman's voice has been proven to put me to sleep. ;_; IANTO WAKES UP AS A GIRL? SQUEELOLOL. ... my local store may have it. i might have to wander over there before my stepdad takes me to downtown for the convention. SPEAKING OF, I NEED TO FIND MY COSTUME, CRAP. @firsty - omg lurlene mcdaniel. i always stayed away from her books because i read the back of a few while i was helping in my middle school library and just the summaries made me depressed. too much sad with sickness and diseases thrown about everywhere. |

@siaasgn - It is good? I just grabbed it because it looked interesting, and I wanted something to read in case I get through the others too fast. I don't want to be left with nothing to read again. @tirethminet - I used to want to be a doctor. I think that's why I first got interested in her books. I watched all kinds of medical shows. I changed my mind about the whole doctor thing when I realized I don't like touching strangers... |
