I haven't read it... Have you?

I haven't either, but I've read River Out of Eden by Richard Dawkins...:D

(Continuing Scher's..."I haven't read East of Eden")

Isn't the next person suppoed to HAVE read the 'I haven't read' book?

Let's see...

*new post*
me1: I haven't read The Old Man And The Sea
*end of post*

*next post*
me2: I have read TOMANTS. I have read it back in highschool and I liked it, I thought the story was captivating. I couldn't believe that after all the hardship Santiago went through to catch the fish he shall lose it. (all symbolism aside ;))

I haven't read Pride & Prejudice
*end of post*

*reply*
me3: I have read P&P WHEN and WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT

I haven't read THIS AND THAT book
*end of post*

And a tiny hitch... "Only someone who has read that particular book can reply!"
Everyone got it now? And at least someone's supposed not to have read a book I have read :D

hmmm someone is being a little bossy isn't she? lol you know i love ya though :D

Who is? :eek2:
:p

:D I was only joking...I knew it couldn't count towards the game. That's why I put in brackets that Scher's "East of Eden" was still being continued...

Sorry for being confusing. :blush:

Sorry for being bossy? :D

No need! It was my fault for not being clear enough about the "continuing" part...

Well that's what happened with the other game as well...the I havent-have you thingy... either we repeat the rule at every page or everyone who jumps in is likely not to notice that rule...even if to me it seems the basic one for the game... but on the other game everybody ended up replying even if they hadnt...

and I've never heard of East Of Heaven so I'm not going on with the game.

Yes, it would be nice if everyone read the game rules before replying; however, we are all grown up boys and gals and can play nicely together despite an odd hitch... or two! ;)

Now, I am sure someone on this Forum has read East of Eden! Any takers?

OK, I didn't realize that Scher had been waiting for so long on this one.

If you like any Steinbock, then my guess is that you'll like this one. Its the tale of two generations of brothers (one blond haired, one black haired) in a sprawling epic tragedy. Starts in the late 19th century, and carries into early 20th. Its not humorous, but it reads well in general, is filled with vague symbolism, and touches on Steinbecks fondness of California.

I've never read 'The Da Vinci Code". I actually looked for it once, it was sold out, and I said, "Now that's an omen if ever I saw one." Still I am curious. I usually read serious literature, and I find it difficult to call this serious literature.

I've read Da Vinci Code. I don't usually read stuff like this but on that particular occasion I was bored & procrastinating studying economic history!
The mystery element keeps you engaged for a while but the writing isn't particularly good so I didn't find it too interesting... and was pretty disappointed with the end.

I've never read War & Peace...the size was a little daunting...same with Anna Karenina

Ive read War and Peace.

I've never read Jude the Obscure.

I have read Jude the Obscure while at university. It is surely a good book but I do not agree with many who consider Jude Hardy's best book. I remember reading that it is somewhat autobiographical and it seems like Hardy was too busy feeling sorry for himself and angry at the academia in general while writing this book.

I haven't read Dracula.

I have, or... a slightly abrideged version at least.

I haven't read the Silmarillion
