I don't know I've been trying to read Great Expectations but then I get caught in something else.

And then some other books from school,I've been looking in to reread The Hunger Games trilogy along with the movie,because of the fact that it's been like 2 years since I read the trilogy back in 6th grade.

I've been looking into getting a library on Google Play Books or whatever it's called,I'm getting there.

I used to read a tonne when I was a kid, but now the only books I touch are schoolbooks :(

I would like to read some books where they made movies from, just to look how they differ.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

Dante's Inferno

Fifty Shades of Grey

the contrast is too much for me to handle here

 

+1 for Inferno

 

Heart of Darkness

is that a typo? If it is, this could imply two very different books

 

nvm you fixed it

 

I finished it but hated it. Good luck reading about quotes in quotes in quotes which spans over 2 pages. 

Edited by helping

Thats a pretty dumb attitude to have.

 

Books are probably the best way to learn new things. Yes the internet is great, but there is no comparison to reading a book.
