Eli Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 I'm reading a book called "KRIG!" ("WAR!") by a famous Norwegian comedian and author. It's a great book, basically a political satire about war, based on how a fictional war between Norway and The Netherlands take place, triggered by an ice skating race, cheese burning and politicians with a lack of ability to speak English. President Bush also makes a brief appearance, it's definitely one of my favourite chapters I think you have to be Norwegian to get it, because there are a lot of refrences to Norwegian culture and events from the past 20 years, so I don't think it's translated to other languages (Maybe Danish and Swedish, but that doesn't count, and I think it might be available in Dutch as well, cause I know a Dutch production team wanted to make it into a movie) but it's definitely a hilarious and brilliant book
Laura Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 I like reading but I havent read for a book for ages
jenlee Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 After all the hype and because the movie is coming out soon and I want to read the book first, I'm going to start reading Twilight tomorrow for the first time
Cerise Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Lily, how else should I occupy myself during this dreadful wait? Now: New Moon. Once more. I have lost count, but lets just say it's over ten times because I love the book this [............................................................................... ................................................................................. ............................................................................... ... ........................................................................] much
Pierced Musie Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 I should be reading The Child in Time by Ian McEwan for English Literature. But due to problems I have had to back out of the lesson until the next module pops up. I can't get my reading groove back

Luc Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 ^^ I saw something about that on The Morning Show a few months ago. It sound's good, but I haven't had time to read it. At the moment I'm reading 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck for the hundredth time
emmasi Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 CUJO!! It is AWESOME!!! I love Stephen King Why didn't anyone ever tell me that his writing was about human relationships? Why?? I pick up a book thinking, "Oh, this one's going to be about a big dog mauling people. Great." Ah, NO. So not. It's like... so freakin' awesome. Go read it. GO NOW!
