Memories of Ice by Steven Erkison.
I doubt I'll finish it. Not that his books are bad but for some reason I have trouble sticking with them.

I'm reading Feed by M.T. Anderson though it is not of my choice, it's the book for my english class. I also started to try to read Bakemonogatari the light novel (in japanese) but it's way to fucking hard for my level.

Currently I'm reading "Our Lady in Darkness" by Fritz Leiber, it's easily becoming one of my faves, since I already was enthralled by Thibault de Castries and his Megapolisomancy, from other sources.

Lovin' it! Lovin' it! Lovin' it! Absolutely lovin' it!

I just finished reading "A Wrinkle in Time". It's an awesome book but it has all of this science stuff that I don't understand. Still, it's a classic and is great for science-fiction lovers.

I finished my Dumas book and will keep with classic horror.

Will now start Shelley's "Frankenstein".

I think I referred this before, but this was a very unexpected present from a friend, so I got to read it as soon as possible, so we can chat about it. :p

I played game, called "Metro 2033". And it made a huge impression to me, that I started to read the novel, that was the game based on.
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of the ten thousand things.
I do not recall, Jesus ever saying "build churches, temples, and kill those who doesn't follow christianity..." nor he said "christianity is religion".

I finished reading The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie, for a 1st book in a high fantasy trilogy i would say it was very good, it has many memorable characters, some mysteries, action packed but the story is just getting started and after it ends you definitely feel like wanting to read more, the only things i did not really like are toward the end of the book, but of course i am not gonna mention them here. Definitely a fun read.

The third installment, City Without End, of the series the Entire and the Rose by Key Kenyon. Not the greatest storywriting so far, but the dialogues of the main character Titus Quinn seem so similar to Shepard in Mass Effect that I laugh everytime Quinn makes some blunt statement, even though it probably isn't intentional.

I picked up this book only to stall reading it until it was due to the library again. Maybe I'll pick it up again, hmm.

After this I'll pick Frankenstein, as my friend offered me the book and I have to read it soon so I can discuss it with her. :p

Done. While I think the whole book was too consistent in terms of style, considering there were at least three different characters talking in first person. But the narration of the "monster" was extremelly beautiful and heartwarming, being tragic at the same time. I loved the fact that the "monster" was more tragic than his human counterpart.

Will now start to read the Juvenile Japanese Encyclopedia on Portugal. In Japanese. My first attempt in reading someting in Japanese. So... Wish me luck!

It's possible he was referring to 'currently' being the same as 'now'.

Is Sellevision any good? I've only read Running With Scissors and partially read Dry but got bored with it.
