MizuPinya said: I just started Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I got the wrong copy from the library, though. Since there's no annotations in my edition, I'll be missing out on all of the good ol' literary analysis/devices/deliciousness because I'm too stupid to pick it out myself. ME TOO! I'm reading Pride and Prejudice!! Love the classics!! |
| Always Smile. Stay Classy. |
| Unwind It's a unique idea turned into a book. Not a big fan of the Science Fiction genre but this definitely a must to check out. Oh Pride and Prejudice is my favourite classic. |
 |
| Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (currently) Lifelines :Biology Beyond Determinism: Steven Rose (read a few chapters) The Making of Memory : Steven Rose ( I have it but I haven't started it ;~; I just...need to finish the others) Metaphysics and the Origin of Species: Ghiselin (reading whenever I can fit it in) I did finish V.S. Ramachadran's Book Phantoms in the Brain , that was very interesting XD Concerning phantom limbs mainly, how the brain creates a situation where they could still be felt by the patient even months after removal. |

| Jennifer Government - Max Barry Dystopic novel about governments adopting laissez faire economics and megacorporations taking over. |
| I am about to read Sword of Shannarah. I read the prelude first and it was quite good but had some slow parts. Hope this one is similar but without any slow stuff. Terry Brooks is a high disputed author though. Some adore him and some say he just copies Tolkien. |
ladyxzeus said: Finished Saramago, it was really interesting and I loved the whole environment of the story. It was almost like Eça, but not being Eça. :3 And finally, FINALLY, I finished Only Revolutions. They are not 16 forever. They are 16 now. Will now start reading "The Sands of Time - A Hermux Tantamoq Adventure" by Michael Hoeye. I just love these books. Done, it was cute. Started a Portuguese book called "Teodora and the Spell Book", by Luisa Fortes da Cunha. It's about fairies and Portuguese folklore for kids. Will finish it today, and the next book in line is by Charlotte Haptie, called "Otto and the Flying Twins" I'm loving this strain of kids books, even though they are not really well written or anything like that. I wonder why we let kids read these.... |

| A load of revision books. |
 |
| At the moment I'm reading Domes of Fire by David Eddings. It's good, but just feels like Belgariad/Mallorean with different names. I tend to read fantasy; Raymond Feist, Piers Anthony, Anne McAffrey, RA Salvatore, Weis & Hickman, Jennifer Robbins, Jane Lindskold, stuff like that. |
| I am currently re-reading Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas, great supernatural mystery. It is also my favorite book of all time, awesome story and the main character is really just a masterpiece; one of the best characters I have ever read/seen in anything be it movie, book, manga/anime. Awesome read. |
| I really like this book even though it is taking me quite a while to read it. "The Brothers Karamazov" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It is very good 19th century, I believe, Russian book of mystery, murder, some romance, and religion. I recommend this book. |

Excellent book, even if it feels like Dostoyevsky is simply talking to us as himself as opposed to through a story. I am still reading The Dream of the Red Chamber, but I also started up The Lankavatara Sutra as well as The Legend of Drizzt Collector's Edition, Book II by R.A. Salvatore, which contains books 4-6 of The Legend of Drizzt. |
| Whisper of Death by Christopher Pike. It's good and suspenseful so far. |
| On the 14th chapter of Battle Royale by Koushun Takami. I'm liking it so far, but it's a little predictable. So far, I've been able to predict what would happen in all of the deaths. |
| well, if audio books count - I'm currently listening to Stardust by Neil Gaiman tbh, I expected more since Neverwhere and Good omens were awesome .-. |
| Began David Hume's Enquiry Concerning The Principles of Morals Finished Aristotle's Niccomachean Ethics. Will read Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses if it's in the Library :3 Granted It should be...he did reside her at the uni for a while S= |

| Loveliest Dead by Ray Garton. horror, mystery, suspense. it's one of those I see dead people stories. |
 |
| Just finished The Kite Runner. AMAZINGNESS. |

| Just finished Isaac Asimov - Aurora Now reading Jack London - The Mutiny of the Elsinore And after that the next Asimov (The galactic Empire) is waiting for me :) |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Journey to the center of the earth- by Jules Verne I want to start on another one though, don't know which.... |
| 夜露死苦 http://mochichandiscoversjapan.wordpress.com/ Visit my Japan adventures' blog. =3 |
| No Logo by Naomi Klein. It deals primarily with consumer culture, and how corporations nowadays aren't really selling products, but their brand. |
| I'm still obsessing over Neil Gaiman sooo~ I started listening to "American Gods" :D So far so good ^^ |
| Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides, its about the greatest WW2 rescue mission also I have been reading Xenocide by Orson Scott Card |
 |
| Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford & Obama Zombies by Jason Mattera Both are pretty interesting so far. |
| (ﾟ∀ﾟ) |
| Currently reading American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. The movie was great, so of course I can't resist reading the source material. :] |
| I am currently reading "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai. I would recommend it to anyone, but it is not a book for everyone. It is not a happy book. |

| I just bough a Fantasy book titled "The Demon King". It's the first of a trilogy called "Seven Realms". It's relatively new. Published at the end of 2009. |
| Reading "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" by Agatha Christie I'd read books that are more my style, but, because school is making me read them, I don't want to read more than 2 books at the same time o.O |

Oh, if you like that, you should check out the author's other series (The Warrior Heir + sequels) too; it's pretty good for YA fantasy. I just finished the Demon King. Loved it. I'm definitely adding the Heir trilogy and The Exiled Queen to my to-read list. |
| I am not currently reading "Self Portraits" By Osamu Dazai. It is a great book that portrays the reality of the author decadent life. |

Will finish it today, and the next book in line is by Charlotte Haptie, called "Otto and the Flying Twins" I'm loving this strain of kids books, even though they are not really well written or anything like that. I wonder why we let kids read these.... Well, meanwhile I forgot to update and read quite a batch of books. Here is what I've been doing on the past few weeks: "O Peixe Azul" ("The Blue Fish") by Margarida Fonseca Santos - quite childish, but fun nonenthless. Not especially good. "L'Isola del Tempo Perso" ("The Island of the Lost Time") by Silvana Gandolfi - I loved this one, really great. If you like young teen books you should pick this one, I wonder if there are more like it. It's about two girls that get lost and end up on an island where all the lost things are! "Journey to the River Sea" by Eva Ibbotsom - Really great, I loved this one as well. Very well written. "Teodora e o Caldeirão Sagrado" ("Teodora and the sacred cauldron") - More of the same crap. "The Gallow Glass" by Brian Keaney - Honestly, I did not understand why this book waswritten. The story is not any original, it's not well written, all of it feels like a book that wants to be a movie but never could. My friend let me borrow and said "this book is completely tripped, you'll love it!", but it was just average. Not tripped at all. A poetry Anthology called "Five Stars", collecting children poetry by Chico Buarque, Henriqueta Lisboa, Oavo Bilac, Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Gonçalves Dias (all Brazilian authors) "Eu Chovo, tu choves, ele chove..." by Sylvia Orthof ("I rain, you rain, he rains...") - It's a play. I hated it, all of it was horrible. "Wildwood Dancing" buy Juliet Marillier - I really loved this one to pieces, it was really well written and the story was really original, for a fantasy book. I had to control myself to not cry at parts (was reading during class) and all of it was full of emotions. I really enjoyed this book, I hope this author has similar works under her wing because I want to read more from her! Also borrowed from a friend. "The Scarecrow and his Servant" by Philip Pullman - Great. Adorable. Fun. Philip Pullman is really good, I'm so glad I got this book. "The Guardians of the Night" by Serguei Lukianenko (the original name is in Russian and has letters that my keyboard is missing...) - Really dark, but very well written (and very well translated too). My friend let me borrow only because she knows I like Russian litterature, but this was unexpectedly good. I often dislike the Fantasy genre, but this book kind of gets out the "fantasy" to become a reality and a social commentary inserted on a meta-world. Really good, I want to read the rest of the trilogy. Now I'll start reading an Essay by Erasmo, which I'm trying to translate.... It's something like "Praising of Madness", but there are probably better words to call it. |

| Currently reading Python Programming for the Absolute Beginner: http://www.amazon.com/Python-Programming-Absolute-Beginner-3rd/dp/1435455002 I finished reading Radiator Trilogien by Jan Sonnergaard a couple of weeks ago. It had some pretty amusing short-novels. |

| The C Programming Language Japanese for Busy People Shõgun - Really, well written book imo |
 |
| I used to read a lot of random teenage fiction, mainly stuff with fantasy and action. Not so much anymore though I do intend to finish off all the series I used to follow that haven't been completed yet (such as Alex Rider) |
bergil said: I'm reading Mein Kampf.It's quite enlightening. Not as enlightening as The Turner Diaries. Now I know what to do >:D |
 |
| I like reading books. I'm open to most genres but I've mainly read horror or stories more towards slice-of-life. |
| Yes, constantly really. Craft books mostly. Wicca for life by Raymond Buckland. |
