best book i ever read wwas (the last lion) by william manchester it was about Churchill during his wilderness years on the back bench.
You kid.. Several chapters or several books ? Did u take up speed reading?
Maybe that's why your spelling sometimes needs work
😛
As for me, just several pages? The book I'm reading is not easy and it gets boring
IF ITS BORING WHY READ IT?
ARE YOU TALKING THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO?
great read to bad he died right after delivering the books.
I have read all three also its not just a great story but it gives you an insite into the real lives of the people of sweden.

IF ITS BORING WHY READ IT?
cause boring has its expiry date
it's not boring with intervals.
it matters more if a novel is boring..
but not if it's a literary book because those are boring by default 😛
BORING GOT IT O.K.
I HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM DON'T DO MUCH FILM AFTER I READ THE BOOKS IT A LET DOWN FOR ME MOST OF THE TIME.
But it's still less boring than the dxp
The last lion is a history book just woundering
How booring must it be.. I guess it's exciting to those history buffs
The last lion is so well writen that it is anything but boring. It is history but you also see the greatness and the failer of Curchill. you see him as a man not the legoned but the man.
But Churchill was a Sagittarius.. not a Leo.. some facts must have been lost in translation when they called him the last Lion..
It should've been the last Centaur

I read quite a bit. One book at a time of course, or else I'll definitely mix up the stories. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo series was pretty good in my opinion. It took me awhile to finish them but I feel like it was worth it. I didn't really see the twists coming so I thought it was a good thriller/murder mystery/crime drama/whatever. I saw the Swedish version of the films and I really liked it, and how it stuck to the story. The American version looked bad to me. And, well I got carded at the movie theater and couldn't see it anyway (embarrassing). No love lost.
A book about Churchill you say? I like me some Churchill.
Read the last lion and give us a book report.
Is it really a three volume series? I looked it up on Barnes and Noble. I might have to shut myself in my dorm for a month to finish it all. Seems like a lot of work for a book report..

best book I ever read bling
My university library actually has it. What are the chances of that one? Well now, I mean, I don't really have any excuse not to read it.
i read so much that growing up i was grounded from my books not the tv or a video game. lol i've gotten better at not neglecting my responsbilities for my books. i read at least 3 at a time. as of right now i'm reading the first of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the first of the Game of Thrones books, New Spring: The Novel by Robert Jordan and i'm reading through the complete works of Edgar Allan Poe.
AH POE ONCE UPON A MIDNIGHT DREARY. AS I PONDERED WEAK AND WEARY. LOVE HIS WORKS. THE RAVEN IS MY FAV.
That's my favorite as well 😆 at one point I had it completely memorized. Another is annabell lee and also the tell tale heart
Poe is my absolute favorite author. 😆
Poe is my absolute favorite author. 😆
MANY MANY YEAR AGO IN A KINGDOM BY THE SEA.
It's hard for me to find an author who can truly speak directly to my soul. I know that sounds cheesy but it's the best way to explain it. When I read Poe I feel like someone understands the depth and severity of true emotion and what it can do. As clich? as it is I started reading Poe during a very rough patch in my life and have come to enjoy it even when I was happy and enjoying life because it speaks to how deeply any emotion can be felt.
I read a lot.
I have a short attention span and a vivid imagination so I love a good book.
Recently I've been reading a lot more. I went through 3 books in the space of a week just a couple of weeks back.
If I'm really into a book though I literally won't put it down until it's done.
I know where your coming from pirate. Its strange I read some but can't get into others. Hemmingway and stinebeck I have read everything they wrote. but can,t get into Falkner. the last couple years I have been on a history read Manchester is a fav read almost everything he has writen. I have read poe's works many times and find new thought and ideas each time I reread him. The RAVEN each time I read it new ideas pop into my whisky soaked brain. Perhaps I read him a lot because he was an alky. Its the weather for him here in Wales put a log on the hearth and pop open his works sip a bit of whisky.
how is life in Scotland. You know you can always come to Wales and warm my bed. Can't end with out going to sex.

I love to read, I always have a book going. Sometimes I read 2 books a week. Have loved reading since I was 4 years old (now 44). I also read quite fast so I think that helps me. When I'm reading I get lost and totally block out what is going on around me :-)
I always read two books at a time. I usually read 1-2 chapters a night. That's all I usually have time for. I keep saying I'm going to start getting audio books on tape, but it's just not the same to me for some reason.

I read a lot several chapters a night in any given book. how about the rest of you? I used to read more than one book at a time but I gave that up as I got older.
