son, what you need to do is make an investment in an ereader. throw $100 at one of those bad boys and you'll save ten times that in unbought books.

It feels much more satisfying to me to hold a good paperback. I have no idea why I just feel much more relaxed and feel as if I gained more after finishing the book. I also like to smell the pages.

>> No.2341814

fuck you and your e-book reader.

you know how many girls are attracted if they just see the glimpse of a book in your backpack?
also this way you can find out which girls are not totally intelectually retarded.

Good boy of you.
I read it a bit ago and have just finished Metro 2034.
Both worth, the first one is better and longer.

You shall not regret it if you like apocaliptyc sci-fi.
It's great and has gotten me into emotions a lot of times, something that only this book and a few more have. And I have read a lot.

If it's for 15 get it motherfucker.

DO IT

Metro 2033
HALO: The Fall of Reach (I didn't expect, but the space ship battle narrations where awesome)
The whole Foundation saga by Asimov. It sure did. Specially The Limits of Foundation and Foundation and Earth.
The Lord of The Rings (quite good overall, but not that grat, I prefer sci-fi.


What am I forgetting...
Somehow I can't get my mind straight and remember them all, but it's hard. I've read about two books per month on winters and four books a month in summers. For five years.... A lot of books. And as I said only a few have.

>> No.2341895

Wow I wasn't expecting that much to be on the map. Do they really go into depth with that? It seems like a really fun concept.

>> No.2341897

Ah yes. Dune, 2001: Space Odissey. Starship Troopers, I am Legend, The House At The End Of The World and some H.P Lovecraft novels, don't remember the exact names.

>> No.2341906

>>2341895
Well, it's not direct. The character moves along the stations and you can see where he is at every moment, I liked it, because it has a legend where it tells what things are on each station,
Love to read this book with low light and a glass of vodka next to me.

But well, it's quite good,
Have you read 2034 yet?
I've heard that it's not out in america yet, I live in yurop so I got it one month ago or so.

The vodka part isn't that much, just have a small glass I drink in a span of 2 hours (time I spend reading before sleeping) I like the feeling of heat it gives.

>> No.2341976

Anybody want to comment something about the book?
I came here looking for a Metro discussion and the first thread I saw was this.

im in uroop too, and ive seen 2034 a year ago in the store.
wanted to buy one at a time. now that im done with 2033 im gonna buy 2034 sometime soon.

oh how i wish i could find some time to actually JUST read a book. im working a lot, so the only time left for me to read is in the train, which is about one hour daily. =/

>> No.2341985

>>2341979
I actually scratch hours of sleep for reading.
I can't live without my daily dose.
I try to do as much as possible the day to get into bed early and read one hour at least.

>> No.2342228

>>2341976

Yeah. Am i the only one who thought Metro 2034 was better than Metro 2033?

Maybe it had to do with the fact that someone had spoiled the ending for 2033 when i was halfway through the book.
But honestly i believe that 2034 had so much more emotions packed in and the ending was much more satisfying for me because it was actually longer than 3 sentences.

I liked em both though, even if i dont like sci-fi.
