NationStates Jolt Archive

How about a master list of everyone who read it and is a member? Just for fun!





I have it requested from my library system, if I like it I will probably buy it. From what I saw on the "look inside" feature on Amazon, it looks pretty good.

yeah, I read the excerpt of the first chapter and on the off chance that i go into a book store sometime soon I would get it... but still havent read it...

ive read JG it rocks, my nation is also my username :)

I've read it. (and Company too)

Uh, Coliness, in case you haven't noticed everyone's username in the NationStates forums is the name of their nation.

Yep, I've read it... excellent book.

Read it, found it amusing, am currently trying to coerce all friends into reading it as well.

I haven't read it yet. I hope that books a million has it though

I have Jennifer Government, although I don't have any of Max Barry's other books.

I really liked Jennifer Government, it's great stuff.

I've read Jennifer Government and now it's one of my absolutely favorite books ever! It's so funny and just so darn awesome! I'm gonna read Mr Barry's other books, too. So add me to the list..

Yep, same here.

I haven't bought/read it yet, but I'm planning to.

I read JG, and my nation is the same name as my account but i enjoied the book alot, it reminded me of something that might possible happen. I love the first words from the Author, "Max Barry is Australlian, for that he appologizes." :p

Read it, own it, got 5 people to buy it, and need a new copy.

My favourite JG Character.... Buy!

I've just finished reading Jennifer Government, and it is definately one of my favorite books! So funny at the times, yet serious the other times... Humor, action, some romance (I wouldn't mind if there was a bit more of it, though)... In short, absolutely great!

Bazalonia']My favourite JG Character.... Buy!

Same here! Buy is such a sweet guy, and he is definately my favorite character from Jennifer Government!

I just finished reading Jennifer Government yesterday.
And Buy was my favorite too! :D
I'm gonna start Company tomorrow.

Own it. Loved it. Reffered many to it.

Gotta tell ya, my signed 1st printing of Company is a wonderful thing indeed.

Read it, liked it. Our school library has it and I believe I requested to be put in the library.

I read the first chapter and liked it enough, but I have yet to find one in any bookstore near me.

Bought it a year ago, and have read it twice since..It is very eye opening. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see how society could end up if we are not carefull.

I read it!

If they don't have it in stock ask about it... the worst they can say is "We won't be able to get that in" and with that you'd be no worse off.

Bought it a long time ago, Syrup as well. Waiting for Company to come out here...

Just finished reading it. Great book! I got to Part Six and wasn't able to put the book down!

My favourite characters from the book are Buy Mitsui and Hack Nike.

Interesting. My favorite characters were Violet, Jennifer Government, and John Nike.

I wasn't too fond of Violet. Jennifer Government was a good character, but not my favourite. John Nike was a little too intense for my liking. Buy was a sweetie and Hack was just humourous.

I would love to read it. I'm going to check at librays before I buy it. Money gets a bit tight in college.

Read it, enjoyed it, wouldn't say that it's one of my favourites but it isn't going into the 'find a new home for this' pile either...

Gotta tell ya, my signed 1st printing of Company is a wonderful thing indeed.

Hehe, yay for signed copies of Company.

<--- has read all of Max's books

I've only read Syrup and JG, myself. I'll have to read Company at some point this year.

Pity we didn't mod you earlier... you could have gotten a free copy :p

Yeah, well, I'd still accept a free copy... :D

Pity we didn't mod you earlier... you could have gotten a free copy :p

But is it signed? :p

I've read it...and I'm looking forward to reading "Company" as well

But is it signed? :pOf course!

I've read it...and I'm looking forward to reading "Company" as wellCompany's a trip and a lot of fun. And I dare you to make sense of the mission statement.

I've bought it. Haven't got round to reading it...

Well, what are you waiting for, get around to it.

I actually found NS before I read the book. And by "read the book" I mean requested it at the school library 2 weeks before school ended and procrastinatingly read it. What I did read, I sure did like.

I think I got to the point where the guy was about to kill that girl.. or something.

I havn't read any of his books, as I've recently been led into NS by a friend of mine, though these books do like very much like stories I would enjoy I plan on hitting up the local barns n noble. If they dont have em I'm gonna be pissed.

Well, what are you waiting for, get around to it.

Stupid mod... :mad:

I finally got around to reading it a few years after I started playing Nation States. It was all right. I thought the ideas in the book were better than the actual writing though. I've heard Syrop is better, but I haven't gotten around to that one yet. It's just not the type of book I usually read.

I'm really more into reading gritty sci fi and non-fiction.

I can relate to that. It's certainly not hard sci-fi. You might enjoy Syrup, though; I liked it better than Jennifer Government. It's more a send-up of marketing and popular culture than pseudo-sci-fi.

I bought the book recently, after coming across NS (pretty good non-lethal marketing strategy, Mr. Barry), and I enjoyed it. It was no Snowcrash (by Neal Stephenson, which I HIGHLY recommend to anyone who liked JG) but it was solid.

The book is great, real page turner. It is the only Max Berry book I've read though.

I've read all three.

Read it, quite enjoyed it.

Just finished it. Awesome work. I'll have to hunt down Company next.

Yeah, I read it.

It's awesome. Kept me entertained for the 5 hour drive I just took, so bravo Max Barry!

I keep awake on 5 hour drives with mobile games, and text messaging. ;)

If I can get them from the library* I will read them all this weekend (I'm a quick reader - took me a day and a night to read the latest Harry Potter book). :)

*Because I am a if it is not on the shelf I won't buy it person :$ Plus Pay Pal says my bank account doesn't exist. :eek:
