[viJilance]

I know I have a lot and no, I haven't read them all. Does anybody else read around here?

Favourite Books:

1.) To Kill a Mockingbird
2.) 1984
3.) Fight Club (Movie was better though)
4.) Farenheight 451
5.) Catch-22
6.) Starship Troopers
7.) The Catcher in the Rye
8.) The Great Gatsby
9.) A Clockwork Orange (Movie was better though, hard read imo)
10.) Lord of the Flies

nice collection. i'm an avid reader myself. at first, i started with the classics (stuff taught at schools like 1984 and gatsby), but then I moved onto things that interest me like philosophy. But 90% of what I read is non-fiction.

I like Fahrenheit 451 a lot though.

[eXceL]

no they dont

[Slimm]

Nice collection from what I can see, can't read all the vintage titles though. I do read a lot, and usually alternate between fiction or non-fiction depending on my mood. Usually don't read more than two at the time because I'm afraid that will lessen my immersion. I just read a couple of Murakami's, and am now reading The God Delusion (long overdue) and the second part of Game of Thrones. I think next up will be either Infinite Jest or Norwegian Wood.

I got my entire list typed out (w/pricing) if you're curious, it's long though. Infinite Jest, The God Delusion, and maybe Norwegian Wood I will check out, thanks!

[Slimm]

Yeah sure man, don't really need the pricing though. As for the question posed in your title, I think the answer is clear now.

[VictorVerzion5]

I bet they still make kids read in school, so I mean yeah they still do, but I wouldn't say they do it in their freetime.

[SajN]

Norwegian Wood.

I have if you want

[Slimm]

Norwegian Wood.

I have if you want

It's too hard to out-gay this so I won't even bother.

[Trimss]

I have to read three books for school.

Great Expectations (Charles Dickens)
Moral Disorder (Margaret Atwood)
Money (Martin Amis)

[PAINKILLƎR]

I haven't read many books my life. I've read To Kill A Mockingbird, Into The Wild, 4 Harry Potter Books, all the Indain in the Cupboard books, those super fudge books or whatever the fuck they're called, Gears if War books and I am currently reading the Art of War. Also some autobiographies.

My little brother has already read more books than I have my whole life and I'm six years older than him.
