Rereading the Harry Potter series like any other fan.

I also got my Jeff Noon books in the mail the other day, so as soon as I can get my mind off of Harry Potter I'll start reading them.

-The World of Karl Pilkington

Words by Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, & Karl Pilkington

*Basically, it's the transcripts from "The Ricky Gervais Show" podcasts. I actually quite enjoyed them myself, I have never heard the actual podcasts though.

 

-The Office: The Scripts series 1

By Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant

*It's just the first season of scripts for the BBC series, "The Office". It was just something to read to see how similar they are to the show.

 

-The Office: The Scripts series 2

By Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant

*It's bascially the same as the first one, except, this time it's season two of the BBC series.

 

-Nineteen Eighty-Four

By George Orwell

*His infamous novel in a society where everyone is watched all the time. I enjoyed this one, but I was left with a little disappointment with the ending.

 

-The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy

By Douglas Adams

*Another well known novel. It's actually pretty humourous. I quite enjoyed the little pot shots it took at humans as well.

 

-The Restaurant At The End of The Universe

By Douglas Adams

*It was pretty good, but this book feels like an inbetween book, so I'm interested in seeing how the third book plays out.

 

-Life, The Universe, and Everything

By Douglas Adams

*This is a well done book, I think it's basically the one where they bring the first two together.

 

-So Long and Thanks For All The Fish

By Douglas Adams

*It's a good book, it's kind have the only piece of the story that wasn't finished off though...

 

-Mostly Harmless

By Douglas Adams

*An alright end to the series, but I was kind have hoping for something more.

 

-The Bourne Betrayal

By Eriv Van Lustbader

*It's a pretty good novel, however, this one does get a little long at times.

 

Now Reading: "The Audacity of Hope" - Barrack Obama

Moving on to Cannery Row by John Steinbeck

This turned out to be one of the more interesting books I've read. It's short/easy to read/funny/insightful/and other positive adjectives.

 

Try it out imo
