A friend of mine said the movie was not nearly as good as the book as well. I've been meaning to get a copy for a while now.

I didn't agree with their stance on firearms; never reading books again.

captinamerica, Hugo reads like an antique soap opera...but if you liked Les Miserables, you'd like Hunchback, too.

 

What I'm reading "right now" is a huge list...what I read just for the sake of reading, is even longer...this household tends to dump all but our "serious favorites" two or three times a year, on used book stores, and begin collecting again...yet we somehow consistently have 3 six foot bookshelves piled two high and two deep on each shelf, in paperbacks.

 

Right now, I'm into John Ringo's Paladin series, love his book "Last Centurion", liked the "Empire of Man" series he did with David Weber, read all the Honorverse books, am re-reading the Wild Card books (George R. R. Martin editing), which were re-released in '09, but were originally released in the late 80's.

 

Of course, we keep Steinbeck, Dickens, Hugo, Twain, Orwell a few other classics around the house, but they're not "I go back to these to waste time" type books.

 

Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (Gaiman does the Sandman comics) did "Good Omens", a great comedy built around Armageddon not going right (by the POV of Heaven and Hell, anyhow), and Pratchett did the Diskworld comedies, which I like the Moist Von Lipvig and Sam Vimes centered books from.

 

Orson Scott Card did the Ender series, which I LOVE "Ender's Game", and like the next three books of...

Just finished reading The Dark Tower.

 

I am now reading Huckelberry Finn.

 

My favorite part is when Huck sees a steamboat blow up.

Then he runs up to Miss Watson and the Widow Douglas with the news, and when one of them asks if anyone was killed, Huck says with perfect aplomb, "No, ma'am only a nigger."
