Would anyone want to read any of the following books?

[_winks]

- The Celestine Prophecy

- Ishamael

- Life of Pi

-The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

They are 4 books I started reading long ago, and then stopped after the first few chapters, due to my irritating distractability. I feel discouraged with reading, and think it would be enjoyable (but more importantly, motivational) to read these books at the same

I'd totally be up for reading Hitchhiker's Guide. I need to re-read that, anyway.

Ooh ooh, if I can find more copies, we should try American Psycho, or Neverwhere! Those two rock.

[penelope_bean]

neverwhere?

isn't that a comic?

[vangelus]

Possibly? I know it got a 6-part TV series from BBC...

It's originally a really kickass novel by Neil Gaiman.

[_penetralia]

The series was a strange one. I watched it ages ago. I liked that crazy bird guy :)

i have neverwhere and life of pi, i've read neverwhere like 4 times tho but i'd be up for anansi boys, since it just came out...life of pi would be interesting to discuss though too.

[_winks]

My reply to Vangelus kind of applies to you too so you should read it.

[coldbeverages]

I will never turn down a free book.

[hjasper]

One Reader's Digest condensed novel, heading your way.

[coldbeverages]

Uh oh.

[_winks]

Who said anything about free books?

[poobum]

I'd read life of pi, but I dont own it so... that might not work out for me

[zarkov]

we could photocopy it chapter by chapter or something. it's not that expensive to do, like $3 for a hundred pages...

Alternately, someone could probably borrow my copy, which is less effort and causes significantly less suspicion from passersby than photocopying an entire book.

Actually, I didn't think it was a terribly amazing book, although it was kind of neat in its own way.

You can also put books on hold at the Library.

I've read all but Celestine but I've heard good and bad about it. Ishmael and Pi were totally interesting (though there's one part in Pi I've never been able to understand) and Hitchhiker's is hilarious. I had the radio show on tape and that was great for long car rides. I'd be down with reading the Prophecies in tandem.

[_winks]

I might make that book last to read out of the 4, and then providing we enjoy the first, we can read the second or third after. I think there are 3 books, not including the workbook, for the Prophecies. Is that correct?

[infojunkie]

Beats me but sure, let me know when you're ready.

[_winks]

I'm ready. Are you? I've already read 40-something pages so far.
