Has anyone here read Origin? It's one of my favorites.
Heres the synopsis;

Pia has grown up in a secret laboratory hidden deep in the Amazon rain forest. She was raised by a team of scientists who have created her to be the start of a new immortal race. But on the night of her seventeenth birthday, Pia discovers a hole in the electric fence that surrounds her sterile home--and sneaks outside the compound for the first time in her life.

Free in the jungle, Pia meets Eio, a boy from a nearby village. Together, they embark on a race against time to discover the truth about Pia's origin--a truth with deadly consequences that will change their lives forever.

Origin is a beautifully told, shocking new way to look at an age-old desire: to live forever, no matter the cost.

That sounds good, I might pop into waterstones and buy that while I'm town tammorow.

YAY!
I got a butt-load of books for Christmas<33
Most are non-fiction: Trees, Philosophy, Cats. (my favorite stuff..xDD)
But I also got an amazing Sci-Fi book called "Childhood's End". It's written in the same year as Fahrenheit 451, and I L-O-V-E that book. My uncle gave it to me and he said it's his all-time favorite, so I'm very excited. Anyone ever read it?

I asked for Sherlock Holmes and got stories from the PBS-TV series. Are these lame knock-offs of the original books, or are they actually pretty good? Written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I have not read "Childhood's End", but I may have to now. I personally loved "Fahrenheit 451". (I actually spelled Fahrenheit right first try!)

Haha, ya, I needed to spell-check mine. x_x
Anyway, what's you're favorite scene from F451? I love the beginning, and Montag's conversations with Clarisse and when he first emerges from the river.

I love when Montag first meets Clarisse, and also when he's on the run. *Spoiler Alert* I really wanted Montag to find Clarisse at the end though, and for her not to have been really dead.
On a completely different note: I got a new book today! Life by Keith Richards. I haven't gotten to read very much of it though. I'm on the 2nd page.

I got a nook a few years ago and I only use it sometimes because I feel guilty that my parents bought it for me.
Plus I'd rather spend money on real books than ebooks. So I only have a bunch of free books on it.

I have a kindle and I love it :3 I understand about real books, but all my books look kind of 'loved...' so a kindle is great and the books arec haeaper and I can get them instantly.

Some of my books are loved too. I should probably get them on my nook.

Hey, I have a question

Who doesn't like to reread books? Even though I might not have read the book for years, I can't pick up a book again and reread it. I guess it's because I don't like knowing what will happen and knowing how everything will turn out. Who else is like this?

I'm not. I'll re-read a book a million times, because I'm really picky in getting new books to read. However, if I start a book and don't like it then I most likely won't pick it up again. Ever. Mostly because it feels weird remembering the beginning but not knowing the end...idk. The only one I've successfully picked up again and read the whole thing was Pride & Prejudice.
