I haven't read anything new in about 2 months....haven't found anything that says read-me! in English. Am still reading the novelized version of "Kagen no Tsuki" by Yazawa Ai--it's kiddie love for all ages! And the really good High School romance "Parfait-chikku" (pafechikku).

I want to read The Da Vinci Code...has anyone read it and would recommend it?

Can't say that I've read it, but the book seems to have stirred a lot of discussion... I think even some members of the Vatican voiced their opinions...

And there's the FujiTV series about it starring Ryoko-chan and Naohito Fujiki: http://www.fujitv.co.jp/davinci/index2.html

i was reading it for a while but then i got bored and i heard that theyre making a movie out of this.. ill wait for it

I don't know if u guys discussed this yet, but is the sequal to Enders Game any good???

I've read Enders game more than once and i heard the sequal isn't as good. Just want to know if u guys think reading the sequal to Enders game is worth the time

I'm on my second read-through "Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid". Truly an amazing book!

yesterday i read a book called "split image" which is a story all written in poems...
im also currently reading "snow falling on cedars" but im not that far into it

Just started reading "All That Matters" by Wayson Choy (and it's a signed copy too!)

I've got the same book... Hardcover, right?


I think I might reread it sometime soon...

Yub, and it's pretty heavy. I actually had to order the English version since all German versions I've found on Amazon weren't the complete editions, and that... I don't want. I want the whole thing.

You ain't kiddin': I was reading it in bed and when I got sleepy, I dropped it on my face... bonk!

That woke me up.

I still fondly remember reading that during the summer Musashi was one KTSF...every evening from 10pm to 12am.

Yeah, after about ten episodes of watching Musashi, I picked up the book and finished it by episode 25...

I think I started reading it before it came out on KTSF...it was a gift from my sister, who saw it at a used book shop and thought it looked cool. Then I saw the previews for Musashi and thought "I better start reading this." I don't remember what episode I finished it by...I know it was before half the series was over.

Heh, I don't read much, but I knew so much from the movie and TV versions that I devoured the book... Great stuff.

Yup.

I've found that I read books after I've seen a movie I liked: The Andromeda Strain, Shane, Grapes of Wrath, Shogun.... Weird.

Usually for me, it's the other way around, and then I'm usually dissapointed by the movie . Of course, I think I probably read too much sometimes....

All the more reason to see the movie first.

That's ridiculous.
