Would you mind posting your opinions of these reads? I'm always looking for good books, Alex has supplied some good ones, so my reading list grows. That being said, I watch very little t.v.(history channel,science channel, that kinda stuff)

It is truly amazing to me the things that one can discover about history if you take the time to read....
The title gets mistranslated based on the adaptation. They almost got it in Will Smith's version, but they changed the ending.

Neville is not a hero.

Yeah, that's the gist that I got, I suppose it would depend on your point of view though...lol

The world moved on, without him...??

The parable's in the book are a little much to take in all at once, but ultimately the book debates right and wrong, if you are in the minority, but are clinging to the old ways, are you wrong by default? It's a great read and over looked in the Cannon of post apocalyptic and Vampire text.

It is because I love the pub ? a place of great fun ? My vacancies will end at 15th of September, when the winter semester will start. So, my birthday will be when I have a busy period. Over more I do not like to celebrate it ? it is not so funny event for me ?

But summer ? it will be great I hope ? I intend to spend at least 50 ? 60 nights out beginning since 20th of April ? bicycling, swimming, walking, hiking in the mountains and camping in the wilderness ?

I regret a little I can not take part in conversations about the literature ? I do not understand very well some of discussions ? but I fill in my dictionary with words and expressions ? it is very useful experience for me.

How many years??..Just remember, it's not how old you are, it's how old you feel...you obviously take good care of your body and train like a youngster, you should be proud...

My apologies, we don't mean to exclude you in our discussions...do you have any books that you'd like to discuss?? I'm always trying to expand my understanding, what do you read that is not technical??

I would not have read this if the movie hadn't been made, usually, when I see a new(decent) movie come out, I look to see if there's a book that it's based upon...I'm sure you know that the book is always superior...

Was the Authors intention to teach a lesson?
