The Books I Read in 2011
Emilia:
I get all my books secondhand from fetes, because they sell them so cheap. I have a lot of books to read this year, but seeing as it is my final year at university, that may be hard!
I posted this link up on the Spectrum forum. For anyone else who loves books as much as I do, check out: http://bookshelfporn.com/
It is just a collection of photographs of people's bookshelves (no porn here)
When I eventually move out, I want to have a room in my house just for a library :)
Sam Colt:
That's too bad KM, I heard it was awesome. Mind blowing in fact. I wasn't a huge fan of The Robots of Dawn either though. As for the Kindle, I just got one for Christmas and I'm about to embark on my first book with it (The Satanic Verses). I'm hoping it works out well, I have too many books and need to stop collecting, but I don't know how well I'll transition from paper to plastic.
Ah yes Emilia, library porn, so easy on the eyes. My favorite is the Yale Rare books and Manuscripts collection. http://gilygily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/yale-rare-book-library.jpg?9d7bd4

--- Quote from: killermonkey on January 08, 2012, 04:14:55 pm ---I only read books 3/4 of the way through, then I get bored. Here it goes anyway:
1. Dead or Alive by Tom Clancy
2. Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain
3. Foundation by Issac Asimov
4. Common Sense* by Thomas Paine
5. Speaker for the Dead* by Orson Scott Card
6. Ready Player One* by Ernest Cline
*I finished it
For some reason reading on the kindle makes me want to finish a book so much more than in paper.
Ready Player One was by far my favorite book of the bunch. It is awesome, and all of you should read it NOW.
I am currently starting the New Year with Old Man's War by John Scalzi, then moving onto The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
