I just buy books, i'm a rereader usually unless I don't like the book much.

Anyone else think that James Patterson is a total hack? Just curious since he is really popular.

Currently reading the second book in the Abarat series. Easily the weirdest thing I've ever read.

I never did read Lord of the Flies either, although I have read Catcher in the Rye.

Yeah I buy all my books too. Most of them new too.

I went through a Patterson phase, bought near enough all his books from a second hand store then realised every novel seemed exactly the same. I still haven't read them all and I doubt I ever will.

i've sort of burnt myself out on reading novels, so i bought the Astonishing X-Men Omnibus. usually find in the summer i can't be bothered to read anything proper due to the heat, not able to concentrate etc.

Will and Hand are burdened by $38,000 and the memory of their friend Jack. Taking a week out of their lives, they decide to travel around the world to give the money away. They can’t really say why they’re doing it, just that it needs to be done. Perhaps it’s something to do with Jack’s death – perhaps they’ll find the reason later. But as their plans are frustrated, twisted and altered at every step and the natives prove far from grateful to their benefactors, Will and Hand find that the world is an infinitely bigger, more surreal and exhilarating place than they ever realised.

I just started reading the first Harry Potter book for the first time ever, way way better than the movie imo. I dont know if I will read the second one or not but the first one is not too bad.

Excellent; I have no money.
