...books! I just can't read books... they bore the shit out of me, and I hate it! I really would like to sit down and enjoy a book, but i simply can't cuz i feel it's boring. I can't read comics ether (besides the AKIRA-comics which i totally dig, odd enough). help me! ...or just call me names or something! |
||||||||
|

|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
shit man...I can't even read children books! I tried to read Neuromancer and I reached about the point where he gets fucked buy that sexy bug-eye lady in that room....after that it simply lost any meaning for me.... |

Try: 'American Psycho' - Bret Easton Ellis 'The Beach' - Alex Garland 'The Gunslinger' - Stephen King 'The Burglar Diaries' - Danny King 'Fight Club' - Chuck Palahniuck 'The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy' - Douglas Adams 'Red Dragon' - Thomas Harris Um... Someone else can recommend the intelligent stuff =oD |

read some Enid Blyton! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think books that have been filmed do it for me if i allready saw the movie, so Fight Club and American Psycho must wait...'The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy' sounds good =) |

|
what...the four kids and that shitty ol' dog? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah book are kinda shitty, i cant think of anyway to make book exciting... i was forced to read them in school and hated it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Set fire to the book and throw it at someone you hate. That would make it exciting. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
good idea!! ahhh heres one....."holy bible" that'll do.. |
||||||||
|
|

I also never read books with big stories. All the words start to float if I stare into a book for too long. The information just isn't recorded in my brain somehow. Yes, I also had to read books for school, it was terrible.... But it's not just books, I can't concentrate on a lot of things anymore since about 5 years. |

I was exactly like that, couldent read anything, but then Jar the wonderfull MADE me read American Psycho !! I just couldent put it down !! Give it a go, it's short and realy easy to read. |

Burn math books! I hate math but love literature! But they assign crap at school, loads of tripe shite on booklists its no wonder kids can't get into books.. SHIT! So I get my own. |

Hrmm.. I'm reading Edgar Allan poe, all of his work, at the moment..but..err.. I wouldn't recommend that if you hate books, err, it could be daunting. Hrmm.. the first REAL book I ever truly loved of my own accord was Great expectations by dickens, but of course tastes vary so, its hard to assign books. Hrmm.. Try reading "A farewell to arms", its pretty short and in terse, short prose. Highly addictive, but some people get confundled by sentence structure when prose is involved.. oh well, that's what libraries are for, you won't be wasting any money and so forth. Go to the library. |

Junktion, you're just young. very young. |

Read Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy! You'll like it. And if you don't, there's something wrong with you. I'm just kidding.. but really, give HGTTG a try. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The main reason I don't like to read books is because I get cramps in my neck if I read for too long at one sitting. I like reading stuff on the computer much better... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah hitchhikers giude....i cant read books either, but i read that one...but thats just coz i saw it on tv first :) its a great book! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i always have trouble getting through books too...right now im still in the early chapers of 2001 a space odyssey (havent read any of it for a year) and the time machine(this is not a long book...) and im trying to start naked lunch... the few books i had no trouble at all getting through were a clockwork orange and the hitchikers guide...which i read in like 2 days...thats a record for me.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Blargh, naked lunch. A clockwork orange is good but 1984 and animal farm are superior to both the former. Young my bumhind, I'm younger then junki, I’d bet. I used to loathe books too, I wasn't the type to read at age 12 and all that, I attributed it all to not having enough time and such (and I think I'm a pretty slow reader actually). I have plenty of time now so, reading it is. |
||||||||

Hitchhikker's is a classic along with the Red Dwarf series if you're into that vein of things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i read all the red dwarf books too....they both carry on where the tv series left off |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know EXACTLY what you mean... Dozier-> i'll check it out then =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have a really hard time getting into books too... but the ones that I got sucked into immediatly are the hobbit and lord of the rings fucking great, and really holds you |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? The hobbit held me but the lord of the rings short of had be drifting. I wasn't reading them nearly as fast and would have long breaks between each book. Hrmm.. My attention especially wandered during his description of places, but that happens a lot with me. Where the tv series left off bob? I thought the books came first and the tv show came later? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
short=sort. That's what I get for err.. having tired eyes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well yes... the descriptions were kinda boring... but i read all 4 books in les then a month |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wee! I didn't. I wbobled around them. It wasn't that they were sesquipedalian (nice ironic word) but that's just how I spaced them out in my mind. Oh, I think I was consumed by guitar lessons as well and school and such. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well.... we were moving at the time... we didnt have furniture for about 2 weeks... so thats all i had.... hehe |
||||||||
|

red dwarf- the tv show definatelly came first hitchhikers- the radio show came first, then book then tv....but the book had a lot more in it, there are 5 books and the tv show covers just the 1st and 2nd books |

When reading a book you sometimes must push yourself forward even if its hard until you reach that point where you really want to know and care about what is going to happen. It is harder to get into a book then a movie because you are doing half the job with your brain. A book is a dinner you have to make yourself whilst a movie is a dinner made for you by a chef and carried out by servants =) In really bad movies you even have a servant cutting up the meat and feading you like a baby. |
||||||||

The same could be said about red dwarf (as with most books), it had more in it, and I think the series of books far extended those of the tv shows didn't they? What was that Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett collaboration- Good omens? Yes, that was it. I don't care much for Terry but that book proved interesting with Gaiman's involvement. I read parts of it on loan to me for the duration of an English class (years past) along with his recommendation of course. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, FORCE feeding you. I suppose you could walk out but who hasn't sat through a bad tv show for apathetic reasoning? |

i can relate, i'm reading dante's "the inferno" (part 1 of the divine comedy) and it's been dragging big time. i started it in may, didn't know the whole thing was a fucking poem (i just knew its great reputation and the fact that it's a JOURNEY THROUGH HELL - cool!) and i was never in the mood to pick it up. but i finally got into it a few days ago and i read 50 pages friday and another 20 last night. i have about 30 pages left, i can finish it any time i like. i prefer chaucer's style (canterbury tales) but this is quite good too. next i'm picking something much easier, like 'survivor' by chuck pahlaniuk or 'fear and loathing in las vegas' by hunter s. thompson. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, definitely get Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That's a trip and a half. I'm really digging those Akira novels too. |

i LOVE to read......everything from comic's ( i like the old horror comic's best and tales from the crypt) and various history books, classics and murder mysteries! i do find tho....that i can lose interest in some books cos i'm not in the mood to read it and i start something else. i usually am reading 2-3 different books at once. right now i'm reading about ancient mysteries.....fascinating stuff .... =0) keep at it tho.....reading is enriching. just find something that holds your interest.....you'll prolly finish it! =0) |

||||||||
|
