I'm reading Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. It is already amazing and I'm only 148 pages in. I can't put the damn thing down.
Something very interesting/awesome will happen. Then I'll decide to finish the chapter, but every chapter ends with something crazy starting to happen. Then I have to know what is going to happen with that.
In the middle of the last chapter I just read they just got done describing some horrible monsters that crawled out of the underworld. Then one of the characters almost gets pulled into the underworld. The hero saved her but two of their companions were unconscious. (The wizard and their guide.) They had to get to safety before dark, when the various creatures come out, but they don't know the way back to the path and it is VERY foggy. They finally found the path and tied their unconscious friends to their horses so they don't fall off. Then they head off. It gets dark, then they hear the beasts howling......HOW COULD I STOP READING THERE!?!?!
Eventually (eventually usually meaning when I'm shaking from hunger or my blatter is about to explode) I'll shut the book and put it where I can't reach it. But then I can't stop looking at it....it's like it's calling to me "Reeeeaaad meeee........something awesome is going oooooonnn.....Zedd is about to do something cooool"
I know it's really sad. sweatdrop

That's not sad. I'm reading like three books at once right now. And I understand the difficulty of putting a good book down. I lose a lot of sleep to books.
Right now, I'm getting started on 'The Left HAnd of Darkness' by Ursula K LeGuin and a collection called 'Tales before Tolkein'. I just finished with Robert Heinlein's 'Starship Troopers', and I've been working on a scholarly book on the history of the Vikings for a while. These are all recreational reading.

Hey now! I love H.G. Wells and I love The Time Machine. And no book deserves to be burnt. You have aroused my bibliophile's ire! If you don't like it, don't read it. Do NOT advocate burning. I know you were probably joking (not about disliking it, I know it's not everyone's thing) and that you don't really plan to burn it but it's a touchy spot for me.

Oops,Sorry a million times sweatdrop ,I only meant it as a joke,I wouldn't dare burn a book,nor would I condone behaviour like that,That's like cutting a tree down,And it frustrates me that deforestation happens needlessly,which would make me no better than them,I'm going to read it to the end anyway as I feel it might pick up later on,It's just a bit confusing at the start,And I do like H.G.Wells,the book of the War Of The Worlds was most excellent,Sorry again sweatdrop

Like I said, I knew you were joking and I probably shouldn't have gotten bent up about it but like I said, it's a touchy subject. I knew some kids in highschool who disliked the Great Gatsby so much that they ripped up and then burned thier copies after we had to read it for class. I didn't like the book either but that really got to me. I'm sorry went off on you. It's obvious that you are a book lover and would never do that.
Anyway, on the topic of the thread, I'm reading the second volume of Sherlock Holmes. I have the complete collection and I plan to finish it soon.
