Luna 2 Posted May 6, 2012 Anyone have some good books they've read? I need some new books for testing :/ Thanks! Share this post Link to post
Cripp 167 Posted May 6, 2012 this is a great read jk I slightly disagree with that, first off, we have jerk off's in the technology company, that are charging you more for a book to be digitally downloaded then a hard copy. Also you will never get the same effect from a book then you would get from a video game/tv show or even a movie. Share this post Link to post
Luna 2 Posted May 6, 2012 1. I like holding an actual book in my hand. 2. I can't bring a eBook into a classroom with me for testing.... Share this post Link to post

Brownie Man 41 Posted May 6, 2012 btw I did say I was jk, but it is true that reading a book is becoming a whole lot less common, in fact reading at all. People are slowly starting to tend towards visual media. Whether its anything from CNN to youtube. But I was joking. Personally I fall under that same boat. I don't really consider my self a book person and I'm sorry if I didn't contribute to your thread. I hope I didn't go too off topic :) On a side note one book I did enjoy reading was called "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. Share this post Link to post
succubis 1 Posted May 6, 2012 Anyone have some good books they've read? I need some new books for testing :/ Thanks! I'm not sure if you're into sci-fi series or not but here's a couple serieis I love: A Galaxy Unknown - Thomas Deprima Spinward Fringe Series - Ralph Lalonde The first book is called Origins and its free to download, I know you like to hold books in your hands (me too - although I love my e-reader as well) it may be a good place to see if you like his writing style. Also the Enders game series is definitely worth a read. I also have a thing for dystopian sci-fis. However they tend to be an easier read as they are for young adults. Like the hunger Games[/b] Or the The maze Runner series If your looking for something a little more drama-ish I definitely recommend Sarah's keyby Tatiana de Rosnay which about the french occupation during WWII Another favourite book with a WWII theme is The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak Share this post Link to post
JorrieJhoi 3 Posted May 7, 2012 A series known as "The Dresden Files" by Jim Butcher is really good. It's actually my current favorite. It's an urban/sci-fi/fantasy series, so it's kind of like old P.I. movies meets meets the supernatural meets the 21st century. "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams is always a classic. Or if you're looking for something a little more romantic there's "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman, yes it's an actual book and not just a movie. Maybe something more gorey? "World War Z" by Max Brooks. Although this read is a bit on the darker side. I found myself reading bits and pieces of it at a time because it started to bring my mood down after a while. Still a great read though. There's a series called "The Keys to the Kingdom" by Garth Nix that's really interesting. It's written for a bit of a lower level reader compared to the other books I've mentioned, but that doesn't detract from the very interesting plot/story. Garth Nix has a way of weaving details together to make a very rich scene form in your imagination. It's a good series for someone who has a lot of imagination. That's all I can think of for now. :P Share this post Link to post
