    I'm on Checkmate....the last of the twilight series.

    I think Checkmate is the last book in the Noughts & Crosses trilogy.

    Jurgen Habermas: Toward a Rational Society: The Student Protest Movement

    Tis for college project. Based on the topic of the project, its actually very good from what I've read so far. Yay for skepticism and No to Fee's:D

    I persuaded a friend (penisless, obviously) to buy the books from me today, managed to salvage €20 and perhaps a smidgeon of male self-esteem :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 862 ✭✭✭cautioner


    ... not even a smidgeon then? Darn.

    I'm reading "Flow, My Tears, the Policeman Said"-Philip K. Dick


  • Registered Users Posts: 234 ✭✭Heggy


    Just finished War of the Worlds.

    I just started reading The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick. He seems to have lot of famous books that I haven't read.

    Im gonna skip the one Blade Runners based on, Valis is meant to be good.

    Our Friends from Frolix 8 is brilliant, nerdiest title ever though!


  • Registered Users Posts: 234 ✭✭Heggy


    The title of the one Blade Runner is based on is pretty nerdy too,
    "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?". It sounds a whole lot more profound though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 553 ✭✭✭Futurism


    I'm reading:

    The Fellowship of the Ring - So far,fantastic.
    The Selfish Gene - Richard Dawkins. Not far enough into it yet but liking it more than The God Delusion.

    Just started The Making of Memory by Steven Rose. It's about memory.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,590 ✭✭✭Pigwidgeon


    just started the secret life of bees
    have to say its pretty good so far.


  • Registered Users Posts: 234 ✭✭Heggy


    Finished The Man in the High Castle, a bit underwhelmed, I think it's a rather deep book which I just didn't spend too much time reflecting on, it was just begging for analysis.

    Anyway, I'm going to read The Wrong Box by Robert Louis Stevenson now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,312 ✭✭✭Limerick Dude


    I finished reading "Dreams for by Father" by Barack Obama.

    Very good start and finish, drags a bit in the middle though.

    Overall very good read and its quite insightful.


    Already started the "The Audacity of Hope"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    Just started The Decent of Angels - Horus Heresy
