Sci-fi and Heroic Fantasy discussion

They are amazing!!!

I finished my book, finally.

That's interesting. I'm reading The Last Book in the Universe. It's really good.

Cool! I'm reading The Two Towers again.

I finished the last book in the universe! Now I'm reading The Knife of Never Letting Go.

Cool!

You read fast; or are they easy and really fast pace?

I read pretty fast, but my books are so long that I seem normal paced. I think Nicole reads fast because"the knife..." is 400 pages or something.

I read the last book in the universe in a day and a half, it was like 300 pages. This one I'll probably finish on Saturday or something.

I finished a book 126 pages in 2 days. :)

I seem to read at the same pace no matter what. I have to read a long time to get a bunch of books done. I also read multiple books at a time as well. If you've looked at my profile you already see... never mind my profile is private (because I'm under 18 which is dumb. I like other people to see what I've read).

All right. Any other books people like?

I like Markus Zusak's The Book Thief.

Cool! Didn't we already say that one?

Oh... I guess we did. Okay then, I like Suzanne Collins' Gregor the Overlander books.

How long is that series?

There's five books, I think.

Cool. :)

I can't think of any more books at the top of my head, even though I've read like 200.

I've only read 102 books. ;( Or is it 103...

I just finished Jane Eyre!

Was it good? I have to read it soon (actually want to, not have to).

It was AMAZING. Seriously. I wasn't expecting it to be, but I found it intriguing and exciting. The gothic elements are much stronger than people think.

Good. My dad likes it better than Pride and Prejudice and that was a really good book, so I decided I'll read it soon.

I read Pride and Prejudice too, and I thought it was great. But Jane Eyre is definitely better.

Awesome! have you read Wuthering Heights?

No, not yet, but I've been meaning too. Is it good?

I don't know. I haven't read it yet. I was hoping you would.

Nope. But I hear it's pretty good.

I just bought that book! But I fell asleep reading it. :( Who is telling the story?

I'm going to get it at the library. Hope it gets better. :(

My mom told me she started it a couple weeks ago, but I haven't heard about it since.

Hmmm... well, I'm still going to read it.

Yeah. I don't usually start a book unless I'm going to finish it.

Pretty much the opposite for me. :)

That's probably why you've read more than me. You might just give up on a book and read an interesting one while I trudge though dumb books for months.

But I only mark them as read if I've read the whole thing. I'd have about double if not.

I'd have an extra quarter of my books.

I'd have 2 extra books.

I never read a book unless it interests me. I couldn't bear it if I didn't read a book I bought w/ my own money, so I'll have to finish it.

Same. The last book I bought ANGEL, the most recent Maximum Ride.

I like Maximum Ride. Who's your favorite of the 6 main characters?

Hmm.... what book are you on? :P

I finished the 2nd one. I like Nudge best.

Cool. I like Gazzy. He's so exactly like my youngest brother it's creepy.

I guess I should read them so I know what you guys are talking about. I used to like The Inheritance Cycle until Brisingr ruined it for me. In fact it ruined books for me until I got a Goodreads account in December. I haven't really read anything for two years until I got this awesome account.

I didn't think Brisingr was all that bad. I actually had to read it for my middle school writing class. We were all like eleven!!! Can you believe that?!?

It was Brisingr. That was gross but some parts made me mad. I don't remember why because I erased it from my memory. I also was getting angrier and angrier because he started to mimic The Lord of the Rings. That made me the angriest. His description of the elves, his dwarf language, his elvish language, his Ellesmara, Everything!

Yeah, that sucked. I mean, seriously! I felt like I was reading Tolkein's series all over again!

I didn't notice that. Of course, that was before reading LOTR, so, yeah...
