I felt that way the first time I read it in High School. I had started reading it again a few months ago but then stopped because I got distracted by other things. I a lot more critical of it now than I was before. It is good, but part of me feels that it makes the history of philosophy seems so linear and progressive rather than dynamic and full of interactions. Then again, I did not finish rereading it.Originally Posted by Rantzien
That's a fantastic book.
Reading the fourth instalment in The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind, Temple of the Winds. I blame this all on "Legend of the Seeker."
I'd blame it on the guy playing Richard :PI felt that way the first time I read it in High School.

Anyway, I'm still looking forward to reading Sophie's World.

It should be said that it's been quite a few years since I read it. That's one thing that sucks about growing older, feeling the need to analyse everything to death xD As a kid, it was much easier to just sit back and enjoy a good story.I felt that way the first time I read it in High School.

I'm currently reading a crap-load of Nicholas Sparks books. At least, all the ones I've yet to read. o.O

At the moment I'm reading the Night Angel trilogy and the Odd Thomas series. I guess. They're more on my "read-once-holidays-are-here" list.
I'm about to start Slaughter House-Five by Kurt Vonnegut. Should be a quick read.
Reading Born to Run by Christopher McDougall right now. Absolutely amazing book that can't help but make anyone want to love running.
At random, I picked up a book off my sister’s bookshelf called “The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer” by Brian Masters, and read it—oblivious to what it was about beforehand. I... Wow. :|
My sister is obsessed with Jeffrey Dahmer and has several books about him, including the one you read.At random, I picked up a book off my sister’s bookshelf called “The Shrine of Jeffrey Dahmer” by Brian Masters, and read it—oblivious to what it was about beforehand. I... Wow.
Jellyfish swim by.
Great book. I'm a Vonnegut fan. I think most of his books are great quick-reads.
Seriously, sometimes university sucks the joys out of things. T_TIt should be said that it's been quite a few years since I read it.

Such a good book, easily one of my favorites.
As for what I'm reading now, I'm going to the library tommorow to get Beyond Good and Evil, and Genealogy of Morality by Nietzsche.
I missed it initially, but I agree with Lone Wolf Leonhart about the Camus. It's one of my favourites too. I've only read an English translation though.
At the moment I'm considering either starting From Russia With Love or Bill Bryson's A Short History Of Nearly Everything.
Not my words Carol, the words of Top Gear magazine.
