What are you reading? thread (we seriously don't have one yet?)

i haven't read it yet but once i get home i'm going to read "one flew over the cuckoos nest" - Ken Kesey, "slaughter house 5" - Kurt Vonnegut, or "johnny got his gun" - J.B Lippincott haven't decided which one yet

 

Slaughterhouse 5 is good if you like Vonnegut's sense of humor
I haven't read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest yet
I borrowed To Kill a Mockingbird and yes, I read it in school like everyone else, but it's fun to read sometimes

 

next Amazon gift card I get from a research study, I will probably get Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, it's a very unique manga in that it is a cozy post apocalyptic slice of life series which is very rare for post apocalyptic series.

 

i tried reading to kill a mocking bird and never really liked it all that much

 

There was this one crappy fantasy book with no pictures I had to read for a book report.

One scene described was this cold, cloudy day, as a group of men were riding horses over mud.

blegh

 

old school fantasy art just hits different

 

I got the first Moomin book translated into Esperanto by the people at the British Esperanto association. I like the illustrations in it, it is like a chapter book though. The second Moomin book is supposed to be released in Esperanto soon too

 

I just found out that All Dogs Go To Heaven was originally a book and now I want it but it was like, only printed in the 40s and even banged up copies are almost a hundred bucks. I have a mighty need.

 

Yeah, I was lucky that I got my Heart Quest novels when I did because the full set jumped up in price from 80 to well over 200 dollars

The Lord of the Rings trilogy in Esperanto is insanely expensive too

 

wow rude (again)

also I was around 10 then

 

how can you read this, there's no pictures

 

I mean, most books for adults don't have pictures.

 

Yes but I have been trying to grab as many illustrated editions as possible. My lord of the rings set is the Alan Lee set

 

I had a gift card so I got some more Esperanto books, I promise I will read them and not have them be decorations.

 

as a kid (and now) I don't mind lack of pics when it's "encyclopedic" or nonfiction (or at least as much)

(also lol)
