I have to say, a couple of books come to mind for me. Meg Cabot's Ready Or Not- It is the sequel to All-American Girl, and I have to say I was very disappointed in this book. It did not flow as well as its predecessor, and I just wanted to cringe every time I read it. Stephenie Meyer's Twilight- ...

Most recently, I have been reading the Starcraft books, in particular the first 2 books of the Dark Templar trilogy.

Anyone else into these kind of books?]]> The Written Word Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:26:54 GMT http://chaosrefuge.forumotion.com/the-written-word-f8/books-based-on-games-t81.htm#866 http://chaosrefuge.forumotion.com/the-written-word-f8/books-based-on-games-t81.htm http://chaosrefuge.forumotion.com/the-written-word-f8/how-open-minded-are-you-with-reading-t32.htm Morbid
Occasionally I will even pick up a book that looks un-interesting on the surface, and walk away very pleasantly surprised.

So, what about you?]]> The Written Word Thu, 07 Feb 2008 17:39:17 GMT http://chaosrefuge.forumotion.com/the-written-word-f8/how-open-minded-are-you-with-reading-t32.htm#142 http://chaosrefuge.forumotion.com/the-written-word-f8/how-open-minded-are-you-with-reading-t32.htm http://chaosrefuge.forumotion.com/the-written-word-f8/where-do-you-buy-your-books-t87.htm Morbid
I personally go to book stores for most of mine, along with thrift and dollar stores believe it or not. You'd be very surprised on the kinds of books you can find when you least expect it.

The things I look for are attractive prices, and of course books that look interesting to me.]]> The Written Word Sat, 16 Feb 2008 10:20:07 GMT http://chaosrefuge.forumotion.com/the-written-word-f8/where-do-you-buy-your-books-t87.htm#938 http://chaosrefuge.forumotion.com/the-written-word-f8/where-do-you-buy-your-books-t87.htm http://chaosrefuge.forumotion.com/the-written-word-f8/how-long-does-it-normally-take-you-to-read-t93.htm Affected heart When you find a good book, how long does it take you to read the whole thing? For me, it depends on how into the book I am. The longest it took me to read a book was maybe a week and a half. But the book was Gone with the Wind. But for an average book (which seem to range between 300 and 600 pages, I can read it in 2 days. I don't think it's because I'm a fast reader but the fact that when I get into a story, I don't want to put it down.

I myself don't read much. I usually only read for book reports or something. Actually I've been reading more recently. Last year I made up book reports. One being March to Mount Madora by some fake name I can't recall. So how often do you read?
