The Maze Runner was pretty good, except towards the ending … But eh, The Scorch Trials isn't very good so far.

Ah, that's too bad. I really don't like it when sci-fi books are so confusing like that....man!

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

Yeahhh I finished Scorch Trials. And I'm more confused than ever. I don't think a single thing was explained … Guhh.

[Mandy]

That really sucks and is very disappointing. DANGIT.

The book nearest to me is my sister's Dora The Explora book:P

It doesn't even go up to page 56, so I'll just do page 5 and 6.

LOL.

The nearest book to me is actually a programme for my local theatre this season, so I'll have to do page 5 and page 9.

Page 5: Groups of 40+: £3 off each ticket and the group organiser goes free.

Awwwwyyeeeaah! I love me some Murakami!

[tesni]

he rocks my socks, at least so far (I've also read Dance Dance Dance, which was equally brilliant).

[Baxter, butts butts butts]

Get The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or Kafka on the Shore. Those are easily his two best so far. They blow my mind every single time.

[tesni]

Okipoki. I've got a copy of The Elephant Vanishes and I've read a few short stories from that, as well. I'll look out for acopy of either of those two next time I'm at the library.

[Baxter, butts butts butts]

Ohh, The Elephant Vanishes. I have that one. Actually I used one of the stories in that (The 100% Perfect Girl, probably my favorite of the bunch) for a forensics piece. Lucky me, I got a young newlywed girl as one of my judges, and she gave me a perfect score. GO AWESOME ROMANCES!

Holes by Louis Sachar, which my little sister's reading;

"He dug his shovel into the dirt."

[Baxter, butts butts butts]

All of page 59 in Infinite Jest is a single sentence. So I turn to the 69th instead.

"The patient Ms. Gompert seemed both to be fighting for breath and to breathing rapidly enough to induce hypocapnia; the doctor could not be expected not also to notice that she had fairly large breasts that rose and fell rapidly inside the circle of arms with which she hugged her knees."
