I borrowed The Silmarillion from the DC public library. I can't get around to read it until I finish the one I'm reading first.

I never read a single book by Tolkien. Tell me if it's good.

Wait... what? REALLY? Go get the LotR and The Silmarillion NOW. I've read them in spanish before and the writing is fucking amazing. You don't have to be into Middle Earth and that stuff to enjoy it. It's an awesome story by itself and a lot more immersing than the movies.

Really? I thought the books were quite boring =/.

Are you serious? The Silmarillion has to be one of the books with more depth that I've EVER read in my life. When you see the amount of thought it went to create such a universe you see it's not boring at all.

Okay, so I've really been meaning to pick up Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, because I discovered it recently reading about something else and I'm really fascinated by what I hear and know about it.

Also, there's another book I'm kinda interested in picking up. Is The Hunger Games any good? People don't shut up about it and it seems there's a lot of hype around the upcoming movie.

You should really give The Hunger Games a try, it's quite a great book. And I think the media is seeing the upcoming movie as the series that will replace Harry Potter and the like, hence all the hype from the people who have no idea about it. However I'm not holding my breath. Few books get a decent adaptation.

WHOA WHOA WHOA, serious? I've read almost every single Murakami book out there except for After The Quake and What I Talk About When I'm Running. If you're gonna pick up a book from Murakami and haven't read his stuff before, pick Norwegian Wood up. IT'S AWESOME, and a nice entry to the way Murakami writes, without getting too onirical and s'hit. Then you can move on to other stuff like... Dance Dance Dance, or Kafka on the Shore. Just drop me a message if you're looking for a recommendation.

I need to get around to finishing Norwegian Wood up. I have this terrible habit of buying books without finishing or in some cases, getting too far. It's one of the first things I do want to finish if I'm in a really good mood for reading.

Oh c'mon DO it! It's totally worth reading, even if just for the last 50 or so pages. Instead of reading Hard-Boiled Wonderland... You should try with the shorter books, like Sputnik, My Love or South Of The Border West Of The Sun. That way you can finish up a book and leave it halfway through.

Hunger Games is amazing, read it. I'm currently reading the 2nd in the series, it's got that "must keep reading holy pomegranate" even if it isn't the best piece of literature.

EDIT: Ignore this post.

Oops. I meant LotR.

Walk walk walk.

Pretty much all of my books have nude people in them. Yay!

I can't even get through the LotR books because of how boring they were for me and I enjoyed The Hobbit. It's one thing to enjoy how their world can be, but I'm not one to enjoy reading encyclopedias.

Girlfriend is trying to get me into reading Discworld and other books from that author.... :B

I'm planning on taking out Flowers for Algernon sometime tomorrow. Can anyone recommend me similar books along this theme?

i have absolutely nothing to recommend but I do want to thank you for bringing that book to my attention. I really want to pick it up right now.

I liked Hunger Games, but I haven't bothered reading any of the others because I've been told it just devolves into estrogen soup.

Anyone here read the CHERUB series?
