Infinite Jest. The author thought that it would be cute to write two books and put them together. Here's the catch, the second book is told in footnotes in 8 font! I had such a headache after the first 40 pages I couldn't go back.
I warned you that I'm no fun!Originally Posted by theimp98
oh boyhow could you skip Tom Bombadil i am still mad he was not in the movies for at least a second or 2. I loved lord of the rings
in war and peace i skipped the love part the first time to get to the battles.
That's interesting to know. I don't like Lestat at all...even before he became a vampire.Originally Posted by maverick_kitten
I agree!
I think she is too overly in love with Lestat (based on her husband Stan. Lestat was actually a typo, his name was meant to be LestaN)
And i hate the way his charachter does a complete u-turn in the later books.
You know Sam, its funny you should say that. I am a huge, devoted LOTR fan and yet it took me four tries to actually finish The Hobbit. I was very young, only about 13, and yet I couldn't understand why I was struggling so much. I left it until I was a bit older and then did get through it and loved it, and then I went on to The Lord of The Rings.Originally Posted by WellingtonCats
I saw the Da Vinci Code and I absolutey loved it - got the book out and it's still sitting on my desk. I've tried time and time again to read it but it just puts me to sleep!
Same with the Hobbit.
Not at all - but I will say, while it is very different in style from the first four (and it is) - the book could have been a lot worse - I still would love it for the last 100 pages. Do try it again. Skim if you have to. The ending - that's where it's at.Originally Posted by Yarra
Ok, yall are probablly going to kill me, but I could not get through the 5 Harry potter book. Read the first four in practically one sitting. LOVE the movies. But the 5th could not hold my attention. I really need to give it a go again. I think it was so long between the fourth and 5 book, that I just lost intrest???
I have no clue. But maybe now that the Goblet of Fire is a movie, and I have seen it, I can try reading the 5th book again since I am caught up.
