I figured I might aswell post this here to.

As some of you may know, I'm a 15 year old guy. I have a quite active life with friends and soccer and all the usuall stuff. But I have great passion for films and books. And i started reading when I was about 11 to 12. In many cases it's that a kid my age who reads does nothing else. No sports, not many friends and stuff like that. And there's not many people who are able to even those two elements out. I have succeeded in that. And early on I decided to write down all the books I read in choronilogical order on a small four page piece of paper from a schoolbook. Today I finished a book and there was no more room on the piece of paper. I then decided to post the list here along with a few lines of my thoughts about the book. I leave it up to you to think about what you wanna say in your reply to this post.

Quoted Text Books I've read in chronilogical order. J.K Rowling _ __________ Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ___________ __________ Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ___________ __________ Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban ___________ ____________ Thoughts: I'm a bit ashamed on having started my ___________ ____________________ love for reading with Harry Potter like ___________ ____________________ so many other kids. But it's just how it ___________ ____________________ worked out. I got the book for christmas ___________ ____________________ by my aunt and i read it in a couple of ___________ ____________________ days. I liked it and I discovered a certain ___________ ____________________ plesuare in reading a story. I started on ___________ ____________________ the fourth one but after a while of reading ___________ ____________________ it I decided that for now I'm above the Harry ___________ ____________________ Potter reading level. now I'm not saying that ___________ ____________________ I'll never read the rest. Because I might ___________ ____________________ some day. But for now I'm not going to. J.R.R. Tolkien __________ The Hobbit ___________ __________ The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring ___________ __________ The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers ___________ __________ The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ___________ ____________ Thoughts: I started with The Hobbit because going from ___________ ____________________ easy read Harry Potter books to the second ___________ ____________________ most read book in the world after the bible ___________ ____________________ was a bit much. I found the writing to be ___________ ____________________ very easy read and exiting. And the way it ___________ ____________________ was written with the maps in the front and ___________ ____________________ the back of the book where you could follow ___________ ____________________ the journey was quite brilliant! Some very ___________ ____________________ unforgettable characters in these books and ___________ ____________________ I've read The Hobbit twice already. I might ___________ ____________________ read Lord of The Rings again. I've already ___________ ____________________ tried twice. But I never get through the ___________ ____________________ first book before I stop for some reason. Robert Lewis Stevenson _ _ Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ___________ ____________ Thoughts: I suppose this was the first book I read ___________ ____________________ which I hadn't seen a movie version of. Quite ___________ ____________________ a big step I thought. Quite difficult to but ___________ ____________________ the story was facinating in its own way and ___________ ____________________ scary at times to actually. I will most ___________ ____________________ definately read it again some day to fully get ___________ ____________________ the story. Jules Verne ____________ The Mysterious Island ___________ __________ Journey to The Center of The Earth ___________ ____________ Thoughts: OK! So I do admit that it kinda sucked to ___________ ____________________ read about the death of Nemo in my FIRST book ___________ ____________________ written by Jules Verne. But I had seen the ___________ ____________________ film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen so ___________ ____________________ I knew who the character was sort of speak. ___________ ____________________ The Mysterious Island is without a doubt one ___________ ____________________ of the best books I have ever read. The way ___________ ____________________ it was written and the constant mystery of ___________ ____________________ what was going on on that island was very ___________ ____________________ exiting to read. And the amount of science ___________ ____________________ and the things I learned from the book...WOW! ___________ ____________________ I was completely amazed. And I don't regret ___________ ____________________ reading it first. Journey to The Center of ___________ ____________________ The Earth was a facinating little story and ___________ ____________________ quite claustrofobic in parts. I really ___________ ____________________ enjoyed it. James Woods __________ King Pulp: The Wild World of Quentin Tarantino ___________ ____________ Thoughts: Not much to say about this one. Me being an ___________ ____________________ extremely big Tarantino fan (but I like other ___________ ____________________ movies to of course) enjoyed this one to the ___________ ____________________ limit. Peter O'Donnel _________ Sabre-Tooth ___________ ____________ Thoughts: Ah Modesty Blaise. I was already a fan of the ___________ ____________________ comic a while before I read this. I was made ___________ ____________________ a fan by the Scott Spiegel film. This book ___________ ____________________ was quite the adventure with some very tough ___________ ____________________ bad guys which I enjoyed reading about. And ___________ ____________________ the ending was perfect I think. A novel by Max Allan Collins based on a screenplay by Robert Rodat ________ Saving Private Ryan (novelization) ___________ ____________ Thoughts: I love reading about wars. Unfortunately I ___________ ____________________ haven't found many books which are novels and ___________ ____________________ about war. But I did find this one. And I ___________ ____________________ liked it very much. Quite different from the ___________ ____________________ movie and the way the battles was described ___________ ____________________ was nothing short but perfect. H.G. Wells __ __________ The Invisible Man ___________ __________ The Time Machine ___________ ____________ Thoughts: I don't like Wells. I don't like his way of ___________ ____________________ writing. It's hard and WAY to boring! I spent ___________ ____________________ a whole month on every one of his books I ___________ ____________________ read. And after I was done I didn't feel ___________ ____________________ anything special. Like Jules Verne he puts ___________ ____________________ science in his books to but not as well put ___________ ____________________ as Verne. And the main difference between ___________ ____________________ Wells and Verne is that Verne knows how to ___________ ____________________ keep the reader interested. Wells seems like ___________ ____________________ he skipped that chapter when he studied ___________ ____________________ writing. The only reason I fought my way ___________ ____________________ through three of his books was because I ___________ ____________________ felt obligated to. These books are considered ___________ ____________________ classics and I am also able to see why people ___________ ____________________ say that. But this doesn't change the fact ___________ ____________________ that I don't like his writings.

Frank Miller____________ Sin City The Hard Goodbye
___________ __________ Sin City A Dame to Kill For
___________ __________ Sin City The Big Fat Kill
___________ __________ Sin City That Yellow Bastard
___________ __________ Sin City Family Values
___________ __________ Sin City Booze, Broads & Bullets
___________ __________ Sin City Hell and Back (a Sin City Love Story)

___________ ____________ Thoughts: Read long enough in the Sin City graphic
___________ ____________________ novels. And you can find...anything. Ok
___________ ____________________ they're graphic novels and not real books but
___________ ____________________ I included them none the same. I consider them
___________ ____________________ as books. The twisted characters and the story
___________ ____________________ and the city is very "cool" to read about and
___________ ____________________ most certanly enjoyable

H.G. Wells_ __________ War of The Worlds

___________ ____________ Thoughts: Bo-ring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I litteraly fell
___________ ____________________ asleep after every two pages! Litteraly! I was
___________ ____________________ reading in bed and I could only get two pages
___________ ____________________ each night. The only thing which I liked and
___________ ____________________ actually found quite facinating about the book
___________ ____________________ was the beginning and the end. In the epilouge
___________ ____________________ the writer actually got me beliving that this
___________ ____________________ actually happened in real life. It was that
___________ ____________________ realisticly written. But when he wrote that a
___________ ____________________ specimen was stored in a museum then I realized
___________ ____________________ that it couldn't have happened. But kudos to
___________ ____________________ Wells for making me belive it even for a short
___________ ____________________ while.

Peter O'Donnel _______ Bellman

___________ ____________ Thoughts: Just another Modesty Blaise story. But this
___________ ____________________ doesn't change the fact that I liked it of
___________ ____________________ course.

Jules Verne __________ A Voyage in a Balloon

___________ ____________ Thoughts: Verne and his weird short stories. What can
___________ ____________________ I say about this one? It's about some guy who
___________ ____________________ gets his balloon hijacked and wounds up
___________ ____________________ jumping to his death! I do admit reading
___________ ____________________ about it was very claustrofobic. A good
___________ ____________________ little short.


Frank Miller__________ Frank Miller: The Art of Sin City

___________ ____________ Thoughts: Just a fact book about the art in Sin City.
___________ ____________________ Not really interesting for someone who's not
___________ ____________________ into the Sin City comics.


Jules Verne __________ Dr. Ox's Experiment

___________ ____________ Thoughts: I honestly don't remember what this one was
___________ ____________________ about! It was about this town or something
___________ ____________________ and about some sort of gas or something? I
___________ ____________________ mean it was the weirdest thing i have ever
___________ ____________________ read. But after I finished I somehow felt
___________ ____________________ that I had read something special.


Frank Miller____________ 300
___________ __________ Ronin
___________ __________ Frank Miller's Sin City: The Making of The Movie

___________ ____________ Thoughts: 300 was interesting to read but a bit
___________ ____________________ confusing the first time. The obvious
___________ ____________________ connection of "Where to figh" to the Sin
___________ ____________________ City story The Big Fat Kill was something
___________ ____________________ which got me interested. it was better the
___________ ____________________ second time I read it. I guess I'm gonna have
___________ ____________________ to see the movie to make up a real opinion
___________ ____________________ about it. Ronin was very interesting and fun
___________ ____________________ in parts to read. but it could get boring and
___________ ____________________ the ending was to confusing. an aquired taste
___________ ____________________ (aquired taste. heh.) for the average comic
___________ ____________________ book reader. Sin City: The Making of The
___________ ____________________ Movie is something I really enjoyed a lot to
___________ ____________________ read! It told you pretty much everything
___________ ____________________ you'd want to know about the movie and the
___________ ____________________ production. And with a special introduction
___________ ____________________ by Frank Miller plus the script for the
___________ ____________________ movie! A great read for the one who's
___________ ____________________ interested!


Jules Verne __________ 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

___________ ____________ Thoughts: The long awaited masterpiece by Jules Verne
___________ ____________________ which I had heard so much about! My
___________ ____________________ conclusion: Good!...Very good! It didn't blow
___________ ____________________ me away but It didn't dissapoint me. I was quite
___________ ____________________ facinated by the character of Nemo and the
___________ ____________________ dark ending. And something I really liked was
___________ ____________________ that it ended in my country! Norway! Yay!

Frank Miller__________ Batman Year One

___________ ____________ Thoughts: The graphic novel Batman Begins was based on.
___________ ____________________ Way to short that's what it was! What was in
___________ ____________________ the book was top notch and a very good Batman
___________ ____________________ story but also way to short. A gritty style
___________ ____________________ and good characters we wanna learn more about.

Jeph Loeb _ __________ Batman: The Long Halloween

___________ ____________ Thoughts: I think it's the best Batman story I have
___________ ____________________ ever read. The length and the clear crisp
___________ ____________________ drawings and the mysterious characters and
___________ ____________________ the mystery of who's the killer is enough to
___________ ____________________ drive you insane with anticipation of the
___________ ____________________ final conclusion! A perfect Batman.

Tom Clancy __________ Clear and Present Danger

___________ ____________ Thoughts: ...It was ok. I didn't really enjoy it as
___________ ____________________ much as the others and it was a bit hard to
___________ ____________________ read. But as all Clancy novels it does have
___________ ____________________ its moments. And it told me more about the
___________ ____________________ Rainbow Six character Domingo Chavez!

Anthony Burgess_______ A Clockwork Orange

___________ ____________ Thoughts: Let the stooooormy clouds CHASE! Every
___________ ____________________ ooooooone from the PLACE! Cos Im singin!
___________ ____________________ Just singin in the raaaaain!!!! I'm from
___________ ____________________ Norway. English is not my native language.
___________ ____________________ Yet I speak it perfectly. And I thought
___________ ____________________ reading this book in Norwegian would really
___________ ____________________ ruin it. So I got it in English. With the
___________ ____________________ final chapter. I'm one of those people who
___________ ____________________ thinks it's better with the chapter and not
___________ ____________________ without it. Damn that american publishist for
___________ ____________________ butchering this book! It was one of the most
___________ ____________________ easy read books ever and I finished in three
___________ ____________________ days without much effort. How can such a
___________ ____________________ masterpiece exist? Alex' sick mind and the
___________ ____________________ twisted time he lives in was extremely
___________ ____________________ facinating. What struck me with it was how
___________ ____________________ easy it was to read it despite the fact that
___________ ____________________ it wasn't really in English either. I have
___________ ____________________ come to realize that the easyest books to
___________ ____________________ read are these fake biographies of people.
___________ ____________________ Maybe it's because of the way it's told and
___________ ____________________ that we really get to know the character
___________ ____________________ which makes it so easy and fast and fun to read
___________ ____________________ it.[/quote]

Quoted Text Stephen King__________ The Shining ___________ ____________ Thoughts: I don't wanna talk about this one to much ___________ ____________________ because it will turn into a rant against the ___________ ____________________ book. All I can tell you is that I was deeply ___________ ____________________ dissapointed and that I probably wont be ___________ ____________________ reading a lot of Stephen King in the future... ___________ ____________________ ..I mean come on! It's supposed to be horror ___________ ____________________ but it's not! It's a god damn drama! And boring ___________ ____________________ to! I mean....I'll stop there. Ingvar Ambjørnsen ____ Fugledansen ___________ ____________ Thoughts: This is a Norwegian book. I don't think it's ___________ ____________________ been translated to english yet. It's about the ___________ ____________________ weird character of Elling (the movie: ___________ ____________________ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279064/) ___________ ____________________ and his experience in Spain and in a "crazy ___________ ____________________ house" in Norway outside of Oslo. Man oh man ___________ ____________________ how I enjoyed this book. Like A Clockwork ___________ ____________________ Orange it's a fake biograpy and is told ___________ ____________________ enteierly in his point of view. And with ___________ ____________________ Elling's slanted view on life this only makes ___________ ____________________ it more interesting to read about. Him being ___________ ____________________ a sick man he makes up thoughts about people ___________ ____________________ and what they might think about him but what ___________ ____________________ we never hear is what other people actually ___________ ____________________ think of him. Which creates a claustrofobic ___________ ____________________ atmosphere and only makes us wanna keep ___________ ____________________ reading. There are four books about Elling so ___________ ____________________ far and I know after reading this one I'm ___________ ____________________ gonna have to read the rest. There has been ___________ ____________________ made three movies about Elling and I have ___________ ____________________ only seen the two first and I've decided not ___________ ____________________ to see the third one untill I've read the ___________ ____________________ book. Because I think that when I like a ___________ ____________________ book and a character as much as this it's ___________ ____________________ better to read the actual story first and ___________ ____________________ get the real story before you see the movie ___________ ____________________ adaption.
