yes, they are very different entities, i'll agree there! =)

I just thought I'd mention that the last book I read on the ferry and by the beach was Jaws. Co-incidence, entirely, but I find it amusing nonetheless.

You are so funny, I was waiting for the answer hahaha BOTH??? :p

Quiet: when I went to Florida this winter, I was sitting on the beach reading: Smilla's Sense of Snow!

[trystan830]

yep, both. *nods* i like them both. =)

and i'm glad someone else thinks i'm funny, thank you =)

[Moonshadow]

Trystan yeah I think you are adorably funny! I like talking about books, there is such a difference in opinions about books.

[trystan830]

awww, thanks Moonshadow!

Wait, are Castle's books for real?? Are they for sale in the US?? Tell me all! xD

[trystan830]

yep, there are a series of the 'Heat' books (and i think a 'Storm' book too) published by ABC Studios...that are 'written by' "Richard Castle - his picture is even on the back of the book (ok, its a pic of Nathan Fillion). there's been speculation as to who the actual author(s) is/are, but i think it was the tv show writers, actually

Nuuu so unfair D:
I want to read them!!

[trystan830]

i'm pretty sure my library has them XD

but since i want to own them, i try to look for them at library book sales - i have the first 5, but still need the next 4.

it's weird - if i've read it from the library and then i buy it, i won't re-read it. (which is why i haven't read Mentats of Dune yet - i'm waiting for it in paperback - august 29th!)

Yay! Almost finished with one of my bigger books!
It's only taken almost 6 months...
Would have finished it a lot sooner, but it's gotten sooo boring. If the author hadn't insisted on one of the characters obsessing over another of the characters in such an obnoxious way, the book could have been finished with half the pages, I swear!
XP
But I have less than 100 pages to go and then I can read some better books.

[trystan830]

finally finished that Castle book.... i started it quite a while ago, so i'm glad i finished it. yaay!

now i'm starting the last book in the Chicagoland Vampires series. heh.

Okay that's pretty amusing. I haven't watched the show, really, but I know Nathan Fillion and the concept is fun.

Into Death By Video Game. The books is not about how it is that people an die playing games (lots of factors, and the usual stuff about sedentary pass times e.g. blood clots) but how we get to the point where our health is at risk in the first place. Pretty easy read so far. Not as in depth as I was after, I think (though I'm not too far in) but still interesting.

[trystan830]

oh yeah.... the books are as if 'Richard Castle' really did write them!

and i did watch the show! =)

[Moonshadow]

@ Kad: what book are you talking about? I usually quit a book that is boring to me.

[Moonshadow]

Those Castle books sound interesting.
I remember Nathan Fillion from Firefly, what a great show.


Edit: Sorry for double posting, I got all confused, I am so sleepy tonight, not thinking straight.
