Two interpretations of a first chapter.
In no particular order:

Version A.

Version B.

Curious what 4chan thinks.

Better: version A or version B?

I recently started reading Haruki Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart. So now I am reading that and also casually looking through/reading Louis Wain's Catland and A Catland Companion: Classic cats by Louis Wain & many others.

I have a huge stack of books that I need to read so I still have no clue what I will be reading next.

For those of you looking for something unusual and unique, I record audiobooks of randomly generated stories. They don't follow a plot line, but they are hilarious. Any thoughts, comments, or compliments welcome.

Searching for books about Mentalism

Ok, now people have been saying that Harry Potter is just a little kids book, with no real depth, but Im begining to beleive the people saying this have not gotten past the first book. Yes, at first glance, the first book and maybe the second seem a bit kiddish. But, I, loving literary analysis, see beyond that. JKR is an amazing writer, you hides things within the story, in the smallest of things. It has real depth if you look closely, which Is what i like to see in literature. ANyone else agree?

Anyone read this shit? My niece, my damn 14-year-old niece, got this from her school library.

Now, I've read some fucked up shit, but this exceeds all of that because it is marketed for young adults.

The story is about a girl named Alice, 15, who was kidnapped by a man named Ray when she was 10. Ray likes 'em young, so he makes sure Alice is always "shaved" and he practically starves her to keep her weight under 100lbs. He keeps her subdued by telling her that he will kill her and her family if she tries to leave him. He backs this up by showing her news clippings of his last "Alice". She was found dead, floating in the river.

Ray rapes and beats Alice daily. He makes her blow him a lot in the book too. Basically, Alice is getting too old, so Ray wants her to scout and find him a new girl, which so happens to be a 6-year-old.

This book is fucked up throughout.

I've been in a Star Warsy mood lately.  Which is a little strange since I'm not a huge fan of the movies.  I really like the universe though and I was wondering if you all could recommend me some Star Wars novels.  I've read several of the X-Wing series and thought they were pretty decent. 
I would prefer books that don't star the leading characters from the movies. 
Are some of the new books about the Clone Wars any good?

The Unshelved BOOK CLUB PRESENTS AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS BY JULES VERNE

Old Man : "I'm looking for a classic adventure novel."

Dewey : "I just read Around the World in Eighty Days.

Passepartout was looking forward to valeting for the predictable Phileas Fogg.

But his master arrived home from dinner having wagered 20,000 pounds he could travel around the globe in a mere 80 days.

Passepartout packs their bags for a journey that takes them from London to

Bombay, Calcutta to Yokohama, San Francisco to New York, and back to London.

They're trailed by a detective wrongly trailing Mr. Fogg.

They rescue a beautiful Indian woman and escape on elephant back.

At no time does Fogg lose his clam, despite facing a lifetime of poverty if he loses his bet.

(And, despite popular misconception, they never ride in a hot-air balloon. It's read by the fabulous Jim Dale.)"

Old Man : : "I thought you read it."

Dewey : "I listened to the audiobook. He's the same guy who does Harry Potter."

Old Man : "You didn't read them either?"

Hey /book/. This is literally the first time I have visited this board, as I usually frequent /g/ and /sci/, but I was wondering if you could read a quick extract from a short Erotica story that I have written for my girlfriend. I guess I understand if I get laughed off the board, but any comments of all kinds will help me. I did read the rule(s) before I posted, it didn't really say I couldn't post this I guess.

"I rest my fingers on the lips, then slide them inbetween and start stroking up and down, you are so wet! You start moaning and gasping, which makes me just want to go faster, and make you cum again and again. You start to beg me to put my fingers inside you, so I get my middle finger and push it in as softly as possible, only halfway, you feel so tight! I ask if it hurts at all and you say that it doesnt this time. I tease my finger in all the way, its inside you so deep. I start to take it out, then back in, then out again, carrying on and speeding up as we kiss passionately. Your hips keep pushing upwards towards me, and I slip another finger inside your pussy and start fucking you with them. Our tongues are dancing to the speed of my arm moving, and I can hear you panting and gasping in my ear; I start to rub the front wall of your pussy with both of my fingers, it makes you whimper and put your hands in front of your mouth. Your sex is tensing up and I can feel you shaking with anticipation as you get nearer to orgasm."
