What's 8wayrun Reading?

I read through the NKJV a couple years ago. Now I'm reading through the GNT. (Slowly) :*) I'm on I Samuel right now.

The last modern books I read were Hunger Games Trilogy, which I liked a lot, The Skinjacker Trilogy, which was okay, and the Maze Runner Trilogy, for which I want the 2 weeks I wasted back.

In class though, we had to read a shitty ass book called The Hatchet, and it was boring as all hell. It was about some over privileged brat getting stranded in the wilderness and trying to survive ALL ALONE. It dragged on and on, and the lack of character to character interaction wore on my attention span. That book discouraged me from reading on my own time, FUCKING EH!!!

WHOA, WHOA, WAIT A MINUTE. What is wrong with you buddy? Hatchet is one of my favorite books. And D&D books are literary garbage, sorry, but it's true. I actually read more than one. I don't know what I was thinking.

I've only read Meditation XVII because of its significance. What do you think of the rest of it?

You know, I actually Wiki the book before I posted to see if it had any type of huge relevance and didn't know that excerpt comes from it. I've actually been interested in John Donne since high school; I think we wentover a poem that he dedicated to his wife dying and this was a a time where I thought all poetry was pretty gay...after I heard it, though, it was like, "Damn...!" I'm just now...probably 8 years later, picking his stuff up.

As for the book, I like it a lot. I like how spiritual it is and interpreting what he's saying in different ways. Lot of inspiration to draw upon for my own writing too. I'm not religious so I do have to Wiki some of the stuff of the Bible but I figure I'm just learning more.

I really need to get around to reading the rest of it. Meditation XVII is the source for the sayings "not man is and island," and "for whom the bell tolls." From that alone it was provocative, and I have it on my shelf at home so I should probably crack it open some time.

I actually just re-read Slaughterhouse Five on a plane ride. I'm a huge fan of Kurt Vonnegut, but his books can be read in one sitting and now I'm looking for something new.
