The Book Discussion Thread

Oh gee, I wonder.

 

Who me? lol My bad, I didn't know! Right now I'm reading the 4th Harry Potter book which shall be done, and then I'll be reading some book after that.

 

Nah, I was speaking of the book Jedi_Daniel read, for he kept saying the title in his last post

Anyhow, I was reading today from the bible in 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 on "Sowing Generously" It shows the need for one to give without thought of how much he is giving and give full heartedly without holding back.

 

Oh, well that sounds very educational and very deep.

 

Yes, reading a bibical verse helps me to step out and prepare myself for the trials and events meant to come later on down the road. Without those words I would be overwhelmed.

 

Hmm...its that good huh? Perhaps reading it would help me to see more into this character to which Samuel L. Jackson plays.

 

I need another book to read now

 

Did you already read that book I suggested earlier in the year?
Gravity by Tess Gerristen

 

"Nothing in this book is true, but it's exactly how things are"

Hmm, then what is true? . Sounds like a fun book.

 

Has anyone here ever read the Communist Manifesto? I have.

 

Nope I haven't even heard of it.
And OH SHOOT! Gravity of course! I'll have to go and read that!

 

YOU'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF IT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? It's a book that Marx wrote and the ideas portrayed in it were used by Lenin when he turned Russia into a Communist nation. I had to read it in a Bible/English class in 8th grade. We were learning about different world views.

 

I believe my Econ. teacher brought it up, it sounds like a great book .

 

Nope, I have never heard of that book.
Oh and yes! I finally got another book! It's called The Celtic Crusades, The Mystic Rose, written by Stephen R.Lawhead, it looks very good and I'll be reading it very soon, and Gravity I'll have to read too this summer!

 

Its ideals are very good if they would ever work. The problem is that people wouldn't want to share power and they would get greedy for more power. Hence what we saw with the USSR. Communism could work as long as mankind is not a part of it. The ideas portrayed in it are very socialistic. Pretty much everything is to be shared equally among everyone so that no one is above anyone else. Another problem is that not everyone would have good ideas about how to run the country. This creates a paradox, how can the country have a ruler if everyone is equal. The ruler would have to be more equal. 'Everyone is equal. But some are more equal than others.' - Animal Farm Animal Farm is another book that would help you get an understanding exactly what happened in the 1940s with communism. I am not supporting communism but I am saying that it had high hopes that crashed hard into the ground.

 

[face_shocked] Sounds intersting. I will look around for that book.

 

Oh that sounds cool. I'll have to check those books out too

 

Yes, that book does sound intersting, however another good book is one called, "Stories for the Extreme Teen's Heart." By: Alice Gray. She really shows great strength in each of her true stories from real teens.

 

*runs out to go buy it*

I'm already on it!

 

I've seen that book in Borders.
That's one of the newest Star Wars book. I do want to get it and read it.

 

Force Heretic III:Reunion is out now and that is the book that I am currently reading.

 

Oh man! [face_shocked] now a new book is out? I barely even got the first one! This is why I wait!
