Title: barnes and nobles is good for nothing :|
Post by: Pokesamrus on December 27, 2007, 09:56:12 PM
I get a $25 gift card. So I head over to buy my Death Note Manga, of course, who wouldn't? So, I check everywhere for it, and I only see volumes 11 and 12. OF COURSE I HAVE VOLUMES 11 AND 12. So yeah, I'm like wtf. So I preorder volumes 7, 9, and 10. Only problem is the week long wait :| :(

recommend me any other manga though please.

I recommend you none of it. But I do recommend you reading something like "The Alchemist" or even a book written by Paris Hilton. That would probably be entertaining.

yes but I want to go back to being an manga/anime nerd. Plus I need to start a collection. Also I read enough good books frequently. Books for lulz aren't for me, lol. But, I'll check out "the alchemist" in the library.

It's written by Paulo Coelho, and it's pretty much a very interesting story about a boy who leaves his parents at a young age and then travels around.  :D I know my summary sucks, so just wikipedia it.

But I wouldn't recommend it if the summary (not mine of course) doesn't interest you. There are a lot of other good books I can't think of right now. Hold on.

Oh yeah, "The Hounds of the Baskervilles" is a great book. So is "The Hobbit".

I love The Alchemist. It's one of the few books that I had to read for school and enjoyed.

There's definitely more to the book than just him traveling around.

It's about a boy, Santiago, who is pursuing his personal legend (to find a treasure).  Along the way he meets many people who impact him tremendously and in some way affect the outcome of his journey.

:P Yeah, this is a much better overall picture of the book. But it's cool to know that someone on here liked it.

Anything Fullmetal Alchemist is pretty good.
Death Note Manga > Anime (no offense but Light's whole schpeal at the end is so much better in the manga)

Yes, I'm glad I got the manga and saw for myself. The whole final showdown was much more in depth plus there was an EPILOGUE!!!
