Freedom Fire XWraith_LordX I'm still reading Don Quixote, it's taking me forever! I wish I had more time to devote to it... I'm also trying to finish the Dune series even though it's getting a little too political for me. I'm also reading The Divine Comedy, I'm taking my time with it. I only read it if I'm stuck at the airport for three hours or I have to sit in a boring office for a while. Is Don Quixote good? I played the guy in my school production of Camino Real, the story sounds kind of interesting.
Don Quixote is amazing. Everyone should read it at some point in their life.
Jonathonn I am currently reading Velocity by Dean Koontz (my first book by him so far, and I look forward to more, so far it's VERY interesting). It's about a man who is greeted by a note on his window, from a killer. Through a series of notes, he has to choose what person to save and which one to give away to the murderer.
Koontz was good for a while. He can write good stories, but after enough of them they are basically all the same. I can't even stand to read most of his later work, as the metaphysical junk he dwells on is repetitive nonsense that detracts from the stories. A guy I knew once made an interesting observation about Koontz. He said Koontz's books are best at the start, the first hundred pages or so. Stephen King is the opposite, with his last hundred pages being the best. We just need those two to work together, and maybe find a third person for the middle, and we will wind up with an amazing book.
As for me, I am currently reading a book called The Third Wave by Alvin Toffler. The book is something like 30 years old, yet it is better at explaining many things that are happening in the world than most things written in this decade. |
