What book are you reading at the moment ?

[Stained Class]

Did anyone read The Hunger Games? I just saw it and didn't really like it but the book might have been alright.

Battle Royale >>>>> The Hunger Games

This one? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/
Yeah, it looks way better.

Just be careful of who you watch it with. It has no discretion shots or any of the other wussy risk-free stuff which I heard gave Hunger Games its PG-13 rating. I'm certainly not planning on seeing the Hunger Games movie, but my sister is strongly recommending I read Hunger Games. I've been looking for something to fill the gap while I wait for George Martin's next book, but I'm feeling a bit deterred by the way Hunger Games is categorized as "Young Adult Literature". Has anyone on the forums read it?

yeah, be careful about watching it with Kate... she might get ideas haha (will make more sense after you watch it)

[mooyagi]

I'll keep that in mind

I started reading 'The Hobbit' again - after all, it has been 20 years since I first read it

It's a good book!
Probably been some 3 years ago since I last read it, should get at it again pre-movie

...though I do not know if it's really for the better; I didn't really care about the changes in the LOTR movies because my memories weren't that accurate anyway...

From Swedish Death Metal

Third printing 2011

Chapter Six: The reigning years of Swedish death metal

page 190:

"Entombed had become huge, and it was such a good time hanging around with them on that tour. Apart from Örnsköldsvik [an utterly boring and worthless place in the north of Sweden, mostly known for breeding ice hockey players like Peter Forsberg], all gigs were very well attended and you could really feel that the Swedish scene had exploded. And Entombed ruled that scene." - Peter Ahlqvist, Uproar/Tid är musik/Burning heart

HAHAHAHAAHAH

I liverd in Örnsköldsvik at the time, and all I can say is:
FUCK yes he's pot on, hahhahaa

I did not go to taht Entombed gig and neither did any of my friends, we probably didn't even know it was happening



(this was 1991, I was either in junior high if spring, or freshman in high school if fall, I was focused almost 100% on Guns n' Roses)

Örnsköldsvik is one of the most difficult names to pronounce of any city i know of! i can *sort of* say it the correct way...

I think I'll watch the movie then read the book, so I'm not comparing the movie and the book the whole time

I'll probably read the book again to get reacquainted with the story. I don't plan on seeing the movie until both parts are released, and even then, will probably wait until the inevitable extended versions come out, like LOTR.

well yes, some of the changes in the movie were unneccesary, and some were outrageous, some I can understand was for making the movie work.

But yeah, I re-read the LOTR books (again) right before the first movie, whish was sort of a bad idea, since you thought more of the changes than teh awesome quailties of the actual movie.

I read the books after the first movie, so in between the movies being released but still liked the movies

FAIL!

One must see the first movie at LEAST three times at the cinema, then sit around and whine about the next one not being out for a full year, then watch the next one at least three times at the cinema!!

yes!

Sounds about right

yeah!

First lotr I saw 4 times, second three times at cinema.

Just before 3rd was released saw the extended versions of first two back to back at the cinema, then watched 3rd three times.

And own both movie versions and extended of all three films.

I'm a for sure!

I still need to buy the extended versions on DVD

it is remarkably like a sneeze! especially the second syllable. one who doesn't know Swedish has no idea how hard the 'sköld' part is to say...throaty!

I randomly found them for about $10 a pop one day. I love Newbury Comics!

[DrinkMoxie]

OMG! You guys! The Twilight books... you guys! SO. AWESOME.

[last_candle]

seems like reading the book now is indeed not the wisest move - because I truly did not care for most changes in the LOTR movies
with most changes I was just like "oh, I do not remember that" (like the elves at Helm's Deep)

ok Gnoff, four times is indeed -ish
...I only saw FOTR three times, TTT twice and TROTK once in the theater
(...and then again recently all three with live orchestra/choir - that would make a total of 4/3/2)

there's no way I can wait to see part one until the second part comes out!

[KDibildeaux]

"The Way of the Jedi" - guidebook to becoming and being a Jedi.

I have come to the very strong conclusion that I would either make a TERRIBLE Jedi or I would be on a fast track to become the biggest baddest bitch of the Siths

I've finished Man's Search for Meaning and am now reading a manga called Blade of the Immortal



I've really been enjoying it. Great characters, traditional Japanese culture, and a villain whom you really have trouble rooting against. There was one torture scene, however, which I was a bit too squeamish to handle. I recalled it last night and couldn't fall asleep until I managed to purge it from my thoughts.
