The characters seem really unrealistic I think.

The plot's pretty horrible too. No substance whatsoever.

yea, the plot's lame and the characters suck..... but at least it's not costing me anything.

The worst part is, we only have ourselves to blame.

SOAF is so much better as a book than a movie but it doesn't beat the game though!

I'm on Volume I of a 9 volume series of the History of Philosophy. I've had no worries about it getting stolen, and can easily leave it in public places for hours with no consequences. Sometimes I mark my territory with it.

It's good, though, really...

Hey, you know how I always tell you guys that I'm still reading the same book since last November? Well I put that one down and started a new one that Karion sent me for Christmas.

And

I

FINISHED IT!!!! Yay!

Now I gotta try to finish the last one I was reading.

You're supposed to say which book it is.

Is it dirty?

I mentioned it back on page 7.

Yes, it takes me that long to read a book. Most books I don't finish. I have such a short attention span. This is a huge accomplishment for me. You all may think I'm stupid, but I'm quite proud of myself.

ivan · « **Reply #168 on:** February 10, 2005, 04:03:06 PM »

I haven't litterally read a book in years. No time at all for that. I'm lucky if I get a chance to read the newspaper.

Books On Tape, baybuh. Books On Tape.

Min · « **Reply #169 on:** February 10, 2005, 04:06:55 PM »

I love books on tape.

Hmmmm, maybe I should try to find one for my road trip tomorrow. Thanks for reminding me of that.

Ivan, are you familair with Cracker Barrel's audio book deal?

http://www.crackerbarrel.com/trip-booksaudio.cfm?doc_id=48

You too, Detta... check it out.

On the way to and from Fla for christmas, I "read" 4 books.

Min · « **Reply #171 on:** February 10, 2005, 04:13:58 PM »

That's pretty neat! Thanks.

ivan · « **Reply #172 on:** February 10, 2005, 04:52:24 PM »

That's a great deal, BizB, especially if you're on a trip.

Back in the day when I had more expendable income, I used Books On Tape, Ltd. -- they are a local company, so delivery was quick, and their catalog is huge. They produce the recordings themselves and have a good troup of readers. The recordings are always unabridged. In the late 80s and early 90s I "read" everything written to that point by Robert Ludlum, Stephen J. Gould, Tom Wolfe, some Dickens, Rex Stout, A.N. Wilson, and lots others. I had a nearly 2-hour commute in those days, so I went through a lot of books. The good thing about Books On Tape, Ltd. is that you don't buy the tapes: you order a book, they send the tapes, when you're done you drop the box in any mailbox, and you're done. The only downside is they're not too cheap -- around $15-$20 per rental, if I recall correctly.

However, I have found a much cheaper source for my books on tape now: the public library. Price: $0. I just recently finished George Orwell's 1984 and "Down and Out in Paris and London".

Currently I'm listening to "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain, unabridged, read by the author. The library didn't have it, so I decided to buy it. "Kitchen Confidential" is one of those books that belong on my shelf. The box of tapes will fit nicely next to the bound version.

Wait... you have one of them old fashioned tape players?

Wow... I just use CDs.

ivan · « **Reply #174 on:** February 10, 2005, 05:31:51 PM »

Yeah, CDs are nice. It gets old changing reels in traffic.
