Any of you guys like to read?

I only read non-fiction. I'm a huge nature freak, so I delve into any nature-related book that catches my eye. I've read several books about tropical rainforests, which have taught me so much about the ways that they are negatively affected by human behavior. Did you know the fast food industry is responsible for most of the deforestation occurring in South and Central america? And that the palm oil industry is responsible for most of the deforestation in southeast asia?

I have that movie cervantes. I found it one day and it looked interesting so I picked it up. I didn't think anyone but me knew about it. At first I thought it was a little boring but then I got into it. I want to get the manga too which tells more of what happens. The manga goes into more detail then the movie does. That movie adaption was pretty long though it was like over 2 hours long. I was going to make a topic about it just to see if anyone else knew about it on here.

I have been reading this again from the beginning. The Bismark may have sank the hood but in this story of fiction USS North Carolina wrecks the Bismarck and even captures her. It's a good story but the whole thing is not yet done by the original poster.

Dune is a series I really want to get into, but there's so much I gotto read before I get to that series.

@player1 - Ah, I've never read Dune! But I know how influential it is, and I even like both the movie and the 2000 miniseries. The number of books really seems overwhelming, but I want to read at least the first one.

Spirit Bomb - Yep, the manga in much more complex - it begins with Nausicaä being miss perfect as in the movie, but as soon as people start figuring out about her, various different factions try to use her to their own advantage (and other characters even become more central to the plot than her). Also, her initial instance of just preserving nature against humanity is heavily questioned, and by the end the story finds a better balance. Of course, if you haven't like the movie, then it's probable you won't like the manga either, but I just wanted to point out that the story is better developed there.

By the way, I only watched the original japanese dubbing (it's superb), so I wouldn't know about their casting choices for the american one.

And I agree that Avatar sucks.

Spirit Bomb a little harsh? Avatar's story is not much to write home about, but the visuals and 3D pioneering are really astounding.
