The only book there that I ahve tried reading is the Hobbit. After 50 pages though I just got bored and stopped reading. The only books that I have properly read are all the Harry Potter books.

[quiksilver]

Oh, yes the Harry Potter series I have not read any of those books but my brother and sister have. They seem to enjoy them I have seen all the movies they are ok.

I don't know what I think of the books that you own because I find reading boring and a waste of time. Making graphics or riding a bike are much, much, much better than reading. Atleast they don't waste time

[ramon]

You have some good books there, the lotr sage and the hitchikers to the galaxy is realy fun to...
Hope you enjoy them as much as i did.

yeah, um, that doesn't really make any sense. how are making graphics not a waste of time and reading is? Reading is part of life and teaches you things, just like anything else.

To me, I would say you have a good choice of books there. I really liked the hobbit and the lord of the rings trilogy was just awesome(as well as the movie) and the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and all the books after it are just great. I kimda got a huge "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Omnibus" which contains all the five books and that bonus story "Young Zaphod plays it safe".

Yes yes, the HArry Potter books.

Couldn't stop once I started. They were all very good.
Sooo into it. I had fantasy dreams a few nights after reading them.
haha...They are so cool! Next one is coming out soon too.

i say you got a good collection going and no reading is not a waste of time. what would you do if somehome a nice electric surge just blew out the world power you have nothing to except read and eat


also the reason most people find books boring is that they do not understnad what they are reading or have no imagination to get into the book.

Yeah I agree with you Saint_Michael... we can't live without books, they rock! All of the best ideas are from books, most movies and tv shows are from stories someone has written... when we study in schools and universities, we're essentially studying from books someone has written, noting down disciplines tried and tested through the ages... so how can one not think reading is worth while?

quiksilver - I think u have a good selection of books there, esp. the LOTR series, but the others are right, you gotta get into HP!

yoofus - I think ur signature is very offensive, especially in light of the recent London Bombings.
