Hahaha! Neil Gaiman’s library! YESS!

And sadly, the only book I have read on that list is The Lost Symbol. I thought it was okay, in my opinion, I thought Angels and Demons was loads better, haha.

Wow. I’m amazed at how much you love books to read 700+ pages in just one day.

Sadly, I don’t share the same passion as you when it comes to books. The only recent book I finished reading was design related, it was a very small book which was considered best for one sitting, but I was able to finish it after a month I guess.

Though I do read enough, usually when I’m trying to learn something (like in programming). I do envy people who love to read novels… Since usually they’re the most creative ones on creating stories of their own. :)

You’re right. Honey, nothing can be worse than Twilight. I don’t know why I even kept reading that horrible series… I hated Bella from the very beginning. Got to New Moon and hated Edward too. Got to Eclipse and hated Jacob. By Breaking Dawn I just hated everybody. And what a let down! Where was the war? The Gore? And the blood goddamnit! Meyer took somethng as awesome as vampires and turned them into sparkling little sissies.

Utter fail of a series if I ever saw one. Lost Symbol is definitely lightyears better compared to that *nods*

I knew you’d love the library X3.

Damn, I really wanted to read LotR, but now I just don’t know. Maybe I’ll start with The Witcher…

I just got The Lost Symbol for birthday, so I guess I’ll give it a try, but I’ll keep your warning in mind and I won’t expect too much ;D. After all, I finished Twilight Saga and this one cannot be worse, right? ;D

Oh my gawd that library. That library! Frickin hell that library is to die for! It looks like he’s got books behind books in his shelves as well, god that’s a lot of books, I wonder if he’s read each and everyone of them, or if he has some of them simply because he liked the cover, or the author’s his friend, or it’s a collector’s item… or or or…

?Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed on and digested.?

Agreed soooo much! My mum doesn’t like me buying books either, but only because I apparently have too many already. I don’t like reading fast though. I read books nice and slow so I savour every last word. These books like Jane Eyre I swallow and digest. But if I don’t like a book I either just stop reading altogether, or just skip to the last chapter lol.

I finished LOTR just so I can say I read it, but goodness me it got more boring as it progressed. I’m not ashamed to say I breathed a sigh of relief when I finished ROTK. Sorry Tolkein. Know you’re a genius but I just couldn’t get through that trilogy. The Hobbit, on the other hand, was a joy to read =)

PS: Thanks for the link <3

PPS: Don't read The Lost Symbol. I kind of enjoyed DVC and Angels and Demons, but Symbol is just a bad book to the zomgwtfbbq level o__O
