  1. I like The Catcher …
    I like The Catcher in the Rye, Life of Pi, The God of Small Things

  2. P.S. “Of Mice and …
    P.S. “Of Mice and Men” is supposed to be about the American Dream which the two guys aim for fruitlessly. It’s a much deeper novel than you believe it to be.

  3. Steinbeck is …
    Steinbeck is brilliant, but you seem to have read only his short novels; try “Grapes of Wrath”. Maybe we’ve got different tastes: I couldn’t get on with “Dandelion Wine”.

  5. I just started …
    I just started reading “East of Eden” by John Steinbeck and Its not great… I have to agree with you on Steinbeck being a bit messed up….

    It’s pronounced ” …
    It’s pronounced “cri-ton”, even though it is spelled Crichton.
    The Andromeda Strain was reeeeeeaaaaally good. I liked Next, too (another of his). I haven’t read the Jurassic Park book(s?), but the movies were good.

  7. i always thought it …
    i always thought it was pronounced chrIc-ton

  8. I’m glad you …
    I’m glad you enjoyed it :) Catcher in the Rye is another must read, if I didn’t mention it in this video. I made this ages ago, after all.

    Ah, don’t worry …
    Ah, don’t worry about it. We all make mistakes, eh? I thought the name Esther was pronounced like ‘ess-the’. Haha. (:

    I liked the video, by the way. Watching it has led me to decide to read The Life of Pi and 1984 once I’ve finished Pride and Prejudice. (: Thankies!

  10. I know, and I was …
    I know, and I was kicking myself for this afterward… makes me feel like an ignorant fool. Maybe I am.

    Its pronouned …
    Its pronouned Cri-ton not crich-ton. I know its spelled that way but haven’t you heard his name enough in the media to know that? hes only one of the more famous sci-fi authors. don’t mean to be sarcastic but I was just surprised, thats all.

    It’s good that you’re reading so much. Fewer and fewer people are reading these days.

  20. You only really …
    You only really understand Hyperion when you’ve read the sequel. The first book is like a book-length intro for the things to come in the next.

    haha, “Steinbeck is …
    haha, “Steinbeck is still my least favorite author.” Yeah I have to agree, I hate steinbeck.

    Cusp sounds like a bad premise, but I haven’t read it.

    I’d like to read 1984, I’ve never got around to it yet.

    I hate Crichton, I no longer read him, mostly because everything he writes reads like a movie script. And I have to say, I like Crichton movies, but not his books… I mean there is a reason I read books.

    I didn’t really get into Hyperion, the over theme seemed to meander.
