Book Confessions

[Smash Adams]

the movie thread made me think of how I've never read anything by Chuck Palahniuk or Catcher in the Rye, not sure how I got a high school diploma without reading that last one

[Burning Star IV]

Me neither.

Also, I'm illiterate.

[gloriousmuse]

I've never read any thing by Palahniuk either.

I loved The Scarlet Letter, many people at my school hated it.

[Jessooker]

I own about 50 books I've never read, but do plan on reading.

Whenever I go to a bookstore to buy one books, I usually buy 3.

that and the grapes of wrath were the only classics I truly hated
I own about 50 books I've never read, but do plan on reading.

Whenever I go to a bookstore to buy one books, I usually buy 3.
I have like 5-10, I never really go to bookstores unless I need books and I have a hard time paying $35 for a book I'll read once so I try to do paperback

[Jessooker]

-I'm not a fan of hard covers.

- I can't read a copy of a book that anyone else has read, so obviously I can't do libraries.

-A single tear of a page or blemish ion a cover pisses me off.

[Burning Star IV]

I'm more of a non-fiction man myself. I just have a hard time getting into something that never happened. Granted, I know there is some fictitious literature out there that has greatly impacted the way people see certain things, but for some reason I just don't have the attention for that.

Haha, I'm the same way with everything you've said in this thread, usually I end up with five books though.

[Jessooker]

Haha, I'm the same way with everything you've said in this thread, usually I end up with five books though.

we are too good.

[bowl of oranges]

- I hate hard-covers
- I loved Romeo & Juliet and was made fun of by my classmates when we read it in class last year.

[Ailite]

-I absolutely love Harry Potter. Harry Potter was a huge part of my younger life nad though the books aren't perfect, I still absolutely love them.

-A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers absolutely turned my life around and got me on the right track. I've read that book 10 times and I'll be starting the 11th shortly. I feel that book really helped me get out of a bad place and I haven't read one as good as it since. That's kind of alright with me.

-I haven't read many classic books

[FondestMemory]

the great gatsby is the most irritating thing i've read in my life.

absolutely fucking loathed that book.

[Jessooker]

- My favorite of Shakespeare is Macbeth.

[Smash Adams]

- I hate hard-covers
- I loved Romeo & Juliet and was made fun of by my classmates when we read it in class last year.

I love Shakespeare's plays but can't see them performed since I can't tell which characters are male and which are female since they all look like Marilyn Manson got transported to the Renaissance

[Jared Kaufman]

we are too good.
I do tend to highlight while I'm reading, though, so I'm sure that's a sin for you, haha.

My brother would always fold the cover behind the back when he was reading, including my books, and it'd tick me off beyond words and would have to flip out on him.

Both of those would drive me crazy haha. I can't lend books out.

[bowl of oranges]

-I absolutely love Harry Potter. Harry Potter was a huge part of my younger life nad though the books aren't perfect, I still absolutely love themme too!

the great gatsby is the most irritating thing i've read in my life.

absolutely fucking loathed that book.i have to read that this summer for honors lit.

[Jared Kaufman]

the great gatsby is the most irritating thing i've read in my life.

How old were you when you read this?

I think the symbolism within is some of the best in literature.

[Jared Kaufman]

I'm more of a non-fiction man myself. I just have a hard time getting into something that never happened. Granted, I know there is some fictitious literature out there that has greatly impacted the way people see certain things, but for some reason I just don't have the attention for that.
If you haven't you need to read The Tipping Point and Blink.

- Chuck Klosterman is my favorite author.

[gloriousmuse]

I don't like folding the pages for book marks. And by don't I mean hate. It makes me angry when I lend a book to my sister and I get it back with several creases in the corners.

-I absolutely love Harry Potter. Harry Potter was a huge part of my younger life nad though the books aren't perfect, I still absolutely love them.


I'm a tad bit obsessed with Harry Potter myself. I've read all the books at least 10 times (Deathly Hallows, 4 times)

[FondestMemory]

How old were you when you read this?

I think the symbolism within is some of the best in literature.

had to read it as a sophomore in high school, but then reread it again when i was 20 to see if i just hated it because it was forced on me.

no, still hated it.

[Ailite]

I'm a tad bit obsessed with Harry Potter myself. I've read all the books at least 10 times (Deathly Hallows, 4 times)
Yeah, I'll always love Harry Potter. I just associate anything from a previous year with Harry Potter.

[FondestMemory]

and i'm with everybody on not wanting pages bent or creased at all.

i grew up reading comic books and graphic novels. so reading has always been a very delicate, gentle thing to me.

[Jared Kaufman]

- I can't read a book more than once.

[Adeniz19]

i can't stand cormac mccarthys style. i had to stop reading blood meridian because it annoyed me that much.

[gloriousmuse]

I didn't like "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. I'll only see the film adaptation for Viggo.

[Ailite]

i can't stand cormac mccarthys style. i had to stop reading blood meridian because it annoyed me that much.
Why, the lack of quotations? I think Blood Meredian is his best book

Haha, two people? My avatar isn't digging this

[Adeniz19]

Why, the lack of quotations? I think Blood Meredian is his best bookthats mainly it. it just got so hard following dialog and who says what. the story itself was intriguing enough but I just sort of gave up on it. I might give it a shot again later.

In The Road it wasnt big of a deal since it was mainly the boy and father speaking to each other so it was pretty easy to follow along, but it also threw me off at first since that was my first book I read from him.

[oh totes]

i'm in love with everything chuck palahniuk writes. its like an unhealthy obsession.
anyone want to suggest any fiction writers you think are similar to him?

[Ailite]

thats mainly it. it just got so hard following dialog and who says what. the story itself was intriguing enough but I just sort of gave up on it. I might give it a shot again later.

In The Road it wasnt big of a deal since it was mainly the boy and father speaking to each other so it was pretty easy to follow along, but it also threw me off at first since that was my first book I read from him.
It can be really hard. There are tons of parts in his books where I have to go back and carefully read the dialouge, but I just love the guy. I strongly recommend finishing it though, its got one of the most incredible endings I've ever read.

[Adeniz19]

It can be really hard. There are tons of parts in his books where I have to go back and carefully read the dialouge, but I just love the guy. I strongly recommend finishing it though, its God one of the most incredible endings I've ever read.Yea, I'll def get back to it again. I think what hurt me too was, I was just reading a little bit here and there, just whenever I had the time and that was the wrong type of book to do that with.

[Ailite]

Yea, I'll def get back to it again. I think what hurt me too was, I was just reading a little bit here and there, just whenever I had the time and that was the wrong type of book to do that with.
Yeah, that adds to it, because the hard thing about is that its got three sections, which are beginning, pillage and destroy middle, and end, and the middle is 85% of the whole book. Getting through it can be irritating at some parts.

[FondestMemory]

the last two palahniuk books have blown.

[doyouhas?]

i just started 'the road' a couple of days ago. im like half way through and it does get slightly confusing since it doesnt say whos speaking but its not too bad. other than that im loving it though.

[FondestMemory]

i just started 'the road' a couple of days ago. im like half way through and it does get slightly confusing since it doesnt say whos speaking but its not too bad. other than that im loving it though.

i enjoyed the road. not sure how it'll adapt to a feature length though.

i'm also not a big fan of his style, but i enjoy some of his stories.

[doyouhas?]

the last two palahniuk books have blown.

i havent read rant. i did read snuff, and it wasnt really the greatest story but it was extremely funny so i enjoyed it for that. invisible monsters is my favorite by him, its absolute genius.

[doyouhas?]

i enjoyed the road. not sure how it'll adapt to a feature length though.

i'm also not a big fan of his style, but i enjoy some of his stories.


i didnt realize it was being made into a movie. its very different than most of the stuff i read so i thought it would be good to mix it up a bit.

[Ailite]

I can't stand Chuck Palahniuk

[FondestMemory]

i havent read rant. i did read snuff, and it wasnt really the greatest story but it was extremely funny so i enjoyed it for that. invisible monsters is my favorite by him, its absolute genius.

invisible monsters is possibly my favorite as well. it was for a long time, but upon further reads, choke keeps climbing up there.

rant sucked though. i thought it was gonna be so good. wrong.

i didnt realize it was being made into a movie. its very different than most of the stuff i read so i thought it would be good to mix it up a bit.

yeah. starring viggo mortensen. it should be badass. but i still have curiousities about it.

[nivek87]

I tend to read a lot of Christian literature, but neglect the devotionals at the end.

[AtlanticRadio]

I can't stand Chuck Palahniuk

I can't either. I liked Fight Club, but I can't take any of the others. I sat it Barnes and Nobles and forced myself to read Snuff, and it was like rubbing my eyeballs with a steel brush.

[FondestMemory]

that's because snuff was fucking awful.

[stayillogical]

I don't like folding the pages for book marks. And by don't I mean hate. It makes me angry when I lend a book to my sister and I get it back with several creases in the corners.



I'm a tad bit obsessed with Harry Potter myself. I've read all the books at least 10 times (Deathly Hallows, 4 times)

My sister does the same thing. I nearly bit her head off when she did that to a Harry Potter book. I continually force her to use a bookmark.

[doyouhas?]

yeah. starring viggo mortensen. it should be badass. but i still have curiousities about it.


wow. viggo mortensen is badass. he looks just like ive been picturing the character. that should be pretty sweet.

[Jessooker]

wow. viggo mortensen is badass. he looks just like ive been picturing the character. that should be pretty sweet.

http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/photos/theroad/theroad1.jpg

[doyouhas?]

im guessing that a still shot from the movie. if it is that looks amazing.

[stayillogical]

- I can't read a book more than once.

The only books I've read multiple times are Harry Potter books. Other than that, what I want to do is reread my favorites at least 10 years after I first read them. I want to forget what I loved and read them again as if it's the first time. It's not time yet for Catcher in the Rye but I can't wait.

[Jessooker]

im guessing that a still shot from the movie. if it is that looks amazing.

correct.

[Ailite]

I hope to one day have facial hair equal in greateness to Viggo's

[doyouhas?]

I hope to one day have facial hair equal in greateness to Viggo's

haha, dont we all.

[FondestMemory]

i read almost anything more than once.

there are a handful of books i make sure to read at least once a year, and one i make sure to read at least twice.

[AShannon04]

I own about 50 books I've never read, but do plan on reading.

Whenever I go to a bookstore to buy one books, I usually buy 3.

Haha, it sounds like you buy way too much shit.

[lindZ629]

I hate hardcover books, but I also hate waiting for them to come out on paperback. The only exception is Harry Potter. I love those in hardcover.

I need to buy all my books new.

I'm done with Chuck Palahniuk.

[Chris Fallon]

I hardly ever read books. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't seem to have the time to.

I do try to read the paper daily (mainly sports and comics, I won't lie), but that's pretty much it.

[FondestMemory]

i read a good bit, but i still prefer comic books by a long shot.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

I've enjoyed everything Chuck Palahniuk has written. :shrug:

[tomakebelieve]

- I have way too many copies of Harry Potter. I have all of the American books in hardcover (and all of them being first edition, except for Sorcerer's Stone). I have all of the paperbacks that have been released in America. And I have all of the British hardcovers. Not to mention I have Quidditch through the ages and a couple of theory books. Harry Potter was a big deal to me. I am a nerd.

- I got through high school using sparknotes, mostly. I read maybe two-three books for high school. I don't know why I didn't read them, I am a big reader (I usually read 2 books a week). My best paper was written about Uncle Tom's Cabin, and I read less than four sentences from that book. I bullshitted (to quote my 10th grade English teacher): "the best essay [she] has ever read on it." Apparently, saying Uncle Tom = black jesus was a really good idea.

[amysaurus]

the movie thread made me think of how I've never read anything by Chuck Palahniuk or Catcher in the Rye, not sure how I got a high school diploma without reading that last one

Me neither, but I really want to read both this summer

[fromoc2dc]

-A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers absolutely turned my life around and got me on the right track. I've read that book 10 times and I'll be starting the 11th shortly. I feel that book really helped me get out of a bad place and I haven't read one as good as it since. That's kind of alright with me.



All throughout the school year, I buy books and then try my best to get through them during the summer because that's the only time I get to read for fun. I never get through as many as I'd like though.

This summer I decided to begin with AHWOSG, and I've been soaring through it. It is so great, and I'm sad that I only have a few pages left.

[gloriousmuse]

This may mean nothing but I have never read The Cat in the Hat

[doomcrs04]

I don't have much respect for people who don't read.

[FondestMemory]

haha. wow.

why?

[Smash Adams]

I hardly ever read books. It's not that I don't want to, I just don't seem to have the time to.

I do try to read the paper daily (mainly sports and comics, I won't lie), but that's pretty much it.
I only read for fun when I don't have school, but I do try to read the paper daily even when I have school so I'm not clueless
Me neither, but I really want to read both this summer
I'm currently reading the dude from Pennywise's book
This may mean nothing but I have never read The Cat in the Hat

did you read the lorax? if not do so now

[Ailite]

Yeah man, its the best the book I've ever read, and seems to make me feel every motion I can think even name. It gets better every time.

[Kif]

I've had Catch 22 for well over a year and still haven't opened it.

[fromoc2dc]

Yeah man, its the best the book I've ever read, and seems to make me feel every motion I can think even name. It gets better every time.

Have you read "You Shall Know Our Velocity"? I was considering picking it up but I haven't talked to anyone that's read it yet.

[Jessooker]

Haha, it sounds like you buy way too much shit.

haha yes. that is why i am poor.

[lindZ629]

Have you read "You Shall Know Our Velocity"? I was considering picking it up but I haven't talked to anyone that's read it yet.
I actually liked that a lot more than A Heartbreaking Work. Easily one of my favorite books. You should definitely check it out.

[AShannon04]

Have you read "You Shall Know Our Velocity"? I was considering picking it up but I haven't talked to anyone that's read it yet.

I read it and liked it a lot, but not nearly as much as AHBWOSG.

[Ailite]

Have you read "You Shall Know Our Velocity"? I was considering picking it up but I haven't talked to anyone that's read it yet.Yeah, its also great.

[fromoc2dc]

I actually liked that a lot more than A Heartbreaking Work. Easily one of my favorite books. You should definitely check it out.

I read it and liked it a lot, but not nearly as much as AHBWOSG.

At least you both agree that it is worth reading. I'm sold. Maybe that will be the last book I read this summer, make this whole summer be an Eggers breakfast sandwich.

[airik625]

I've never read more than 5 books from start to finish.

[JacquelineNancy]

In elementary school, I would read during recess.

[Momo32T]

the movie thread made me think of how I've never read anything by Chuck Palahniuk or Catcher in the Rye, not sure how I got a high school diploma without reading that last one

I actually just took Catcher In The Rye out of the library so I can say that I've read it. I was never required to at school and it didn't pique my interest til now.

[PaulsRightNut]

I've never read catcher in the rye either.

[FayeQC]

I never finished reading Great Expectations,made up some stuff in the paper and got a B :-(

[amysaurus]

I only read for fun when I don't have school, but I do try to read the paper daily even when I have school so I'm not clueless

I'm currently reading the dude from Pennywise's book


did you read the lorax? if not do so now

I am currently rereading all of the Harry Potter books in order because I am way cool.

[jbaseball44]

I had to read Jane Eyre recently, the ending is one of the biggest copouts ever.

[Poultrylicious]

i don't hate catcher in the rye but i hate how people love it because it's a terrible book.

i love chuck palahniuk.

I refuse to buy a GAD t-shirt because I felt the great gatsby was underwhelming.

although i do love watchmen it is way too freakin overrated.

fan of jk until the 5th harry potter book which made me want to give up on life.

[MyWorldEntire]

I didn't like "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. I'll only see the film adaptation for Viggo.

:-0 , the road is one of my favorite books I've ever read. But as shown by my avatar, I also am looking forward to the movie adaptation. Viggo was a perfect casting choice for the father.

[MyWorldEntire]

O and I'm also the only one in my high school class that actually liked The Great Gatsby. I've read through it at least 5 times.

[utgjames]

Though I've read quite a few books, I always tend to love non fiction more, for no real reason. Also, I will forever think the greatest written work is "Death of a Salesman"

[Broken Parachute]

I don't mind borrowing books from libraries, but I love the smell/feel of a new, soft cover book (that sounds weird).

Oh, and it's no secret that i think Chuck Palahniuk is one of the most overrated authors out right now. Sex and drugs can only get you so far as a writer. I'm tired of his bullshit, boring stories that are praised by everyone.

[imahoodlum]

most of the books i was required to read during school, i got half way through and never finished them. it's not that i didn't want to read them, i just didn't finish them in the allotted time. maybe i will go back and read them. i feel like i am only cheating myself if i don't read them.

on a sidenote, i am currently reading choke by chuck palahniuk.

[CstSnow]

I say that I love On The Road, and declare it is genius to alot of people but honestly I would probably have to admit that it is merely pretty good and definitely overrated.

I live in Monterey and have read everything Steinbeck ever put out, but seemingly nobody else here has read much of him if any at all.

The Sun also Rises is my favorite book of all time, but I think the Adventures of Kavalier and Clay is literary perfection.

[gilatron5000]

I tried to read Chuck Palahniuk and I think hes overrated.

I hated reading books in high school, because I really do not care about symbolism. Not one bit. And that would be the thing every teacher would ask for.

I want to read more non-fiction, but I mainly read graphic novels.

[CstSnow]

O and I'm also the only one in my high school class that actually liked The Great Gatsby. I've read through it at least 5 times.

Same here, its easily in my top10 of all time.

[Jason Tate]

i don't hate catcher in the rye but i hate how people love it because it's a terrible book.

i love chuck palahniuk.

I refuse to buy a GAD t-shirt because I felt the great gatsby was underwhelming.

although i do love watchmen it is way too freakin overrated.

fan of jk until the 5th harry potter book which made me want to give up on life.

This actually makes me weep.

[CstSnow]

This actually makes me weep.
I hope out of sadness because being happy that someone was just so incorrect would be mean.

[Jason Tate]

I hope out of sadness because being happy that someone was just so incorrect would be mean.
The Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book of all time.

[CstSnow]

The Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book of all time.

Oh ok weep on( I think its great too)

[jbaseball44]

The Catcher in the Rye is my favorite book of all time.
It isn't my favorite book of all time but it is in the Top 5.

[Ailite]

I say that I love On The Road, and declare it is genius to alot of people but honestly I would probably have to admit that it is merely pretty good and definitely overrated.

The Sun also Rises is my favorite book of all time, but I think the Adventures of Kavalier and Clay is literary perfection.
I'm reading Big Sur right now, On The Road was great

[Broken Parachute]

Today made me realize a book confession. I cried after I read Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls back in grade school.

I think I'm going to read it again for nostalgic purposes.

[williek311]

-I'm not a fan of hard covers.

-A single tear of a page or blemish ion a cover pisses me off.
Yes, a girl actually spilled a Dr. Pepper on my copy of Survivour and just ended up buying me a new copy.


-Catcher in the Rye is overrated
-So is Hot Water Music

[nhoium]

Both of my parents read like 3-4 books a week, and I tell them I will when I have time
I have a lot of free time now being job-less, yet I still rarely read, though I finally read Watchmen in May. (I highly recommend it to everyone who's a fan of fiction/super-heroes/reading in general.
I have so many books on my need-to-read list but I just don't put forth the effort to read them.

[handlikesecret]

when i was home schooled, i used to skip my schoolwork so i could read.

[nhoium]

I won't read a book if I've seen the film/show medium of it first, especially if I liked it.
I feel it will ruin it for me. This rules out a lot of good books (so I've heard) for me.

[Ailite]

Cloud Atlas is a truly amazing book

[handlikesecret]

I won't read a book if I've seen the film/show medium of it first, especially if I liked it.
I feel it will ruin it for me. This rules out a lot of good books (so I've heard) for me.
please don't tell me this includes Lord of the Rings.

[nhoium]

please don't tell me this includes Lord of the Rings.
I've actually read The Lord Of The Rings when I was younger, don't worry.
My dad insisted on me reading it before he'd see them with me, ha.

[Chris Fallon]

- I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell might be the best piece of literature I have ever read in my life.

[chokemeout]

Bukowski was a genius.
I force him on everyone I know.
Nothing will ever beat Ham On Rye.

(Although, The Count Of Monte Christo comes pretty close.)

[Ailite]

I didn't think Post Office was that good.

[williek311]

- I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell might be the best piece of literature I have ever read in my life.
lulz

[chokemeout]

I didn't think Post Office was that good.

Agreed, not his best work.

[Ailite]

I need to check out more of his stuff, I've never read Ham On Rye

[chokemeout]

I need to check out more of his stuff, I've never read Ham On Rye

http://bukowski.net/
You can read alot of his stuff there.

[jbaseball44]

franny and zooey> catcher in the rye

just saying!

I wouldn't agree but both are good. Salinger is an interesting guy.

[lindZ629]

Bukowski was a genius.
I force him on everyone I know.
Nothing will ever beat Ham On Rye.

(Although, The Count Of Monte Christo comes pretty close.)
I've been meaning to check out Ham On Rye and Post Office. I guess that would be a good start for him?

[chokemeout]

I've been meaning to check out Ham On Rye and Post Office. I guess that would be a good start for him?

Yeah, definitely. Although, if you've not read any of his stuff before.. check out some of his poetry first. :-)

http://bukowski.net/

[airik625]

I've never read Fight Club. I've only seen the movie.

[Ailite]

I've never read Fight Club. I've only seen the movie.
Same here. I have a friend who reads and worships anythng Palahniuk does, irritates me to no end.

[stayforawhile]

Chuck Palahniuk is absolutely amazing. I love his books.

[entrepy]

I've never read Fight Club. I've only seen the movie.

Same here. I have a friend who reads and worships anythng Palahniuk does, irritates me to no end.

Ditto, never read anything by Palahnuik. Also never read To Kill A Mocking Bird.

[googirl8907]

I've never read anything by Chuck Palahniuk.

[ror.]

i think Palahniuk is mediocre.

[SockMonkeyRiot]

- I love the Lord of The Rings books, but no matter how many times I've started "The Silmarillion" I just cannot get through it.

- My brother got me the complete works of William Shakespeare set (with each play as a separate book) and I am much more excited looking at it in my bookshelf than I am about actually reading them.

- I read "The Death of a Salesman" while on the toilet

[YeahItsCase]

I've never read anything by Chuck Palahniuk.

x2. I think I am finding that the more I hear certain types of people gush about his work, the less I want to read it.

[Smash Adams]

I never read a single Harry Potter book and have no intention on ever doing that

[doyouhas?]

x2. I think I am finding that the more I hear certain types of people gush about his work, the less I want to read it.

people do tend to go a little crazy over him. but he is an extremely talented writer. invisible monsters is maybe the best book ive ever read. so give him a shot.

in other news i just finished the road yerterday. very sad but very good. im greaking looking forward to the movie.

[CstSnow]

I never read a single Harry Potter book and have no intention on ever doing that

Eh they are okay, decent adventure/fantasy stories nothing more. The thing that I hate about them is the whole claim that they are getting kids into reading. I honestly do not think they have caused kids to read more, maybe kids who in the past had not read as much are reading them but I dont think they then move on to better literature once they are done with the HP books.

[doyouhas?]

i like this thread. people should use it again.

[DickfaceChillah]

I think everyone else's tastes in books are bad. Unless I agree. Just automatically, I dunno why.

[CstSnow]

Awesome Mission Hill avatar I LOVE that show.

As for your statement,that is extremely arrogant, and a badly structured sentence but......I am exactly the same way haha.

Haha, thanks. One of my favorites! Very badly structured sentence, I agree. All of mine are. I don't mean to be arrogant, it's a subconscious thing.

[&IllBeTheReason]

Woah! This thread is totally void of angry people cursing at eachother for having different opinions! I like it!

for the most part, i only read John Grisham books, and i hate Catcher In The Rye

I have an unhealthy obsession with Charles Bukowski. I have recently decided that each time I go to a book store, if they have something of his that I do not yet own, I will buy at least one thing.

I love McCarthy but didn't like The Road at all, so I'm hoping he writes at least one more (better) book before he dies...

I used to love Chuck Palahniuk, and I still read his new stuff, but I find that I don't like him nearly as much anymore. He has a really particular style that gets tiring pretty fast, IMO.

i thought the road was brilliant. i cant wait for that movie.

im reading a book called 'Master of Space and Time' currently. its really crazy so far but very entertaining. its about these couple of guys figuring out how to travel through time and create new dimensions.
