That was nearly 6 years go. When I started re-reading it, it took me a while to warm up to it. I've now finished the first half and I'm absolutely in love. |

I did, thought it was OK, then read it again a few years later. Leagues better the second time round, I have to say. Now I feel like reading it again... |
| Finishing up re-reading The Wheel of Time, since the last book comes out in January. |

| Eh.... I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been reading half as much as I used to, but I still stay very loyal to the books I do read, and so I'm going at them one at a time. Right now I'm reading Code Orange, actually. ^-^ Super easy to get through and involving many gruesome details about smallpox, which is always a fun time. I actually picked it up initially for the sole reason being that it made me think of "orange" from Code Geass. Creepily enough, the book actually mentions some things that "orange" could have been a code for, even though I know it was a bluff. 0_o |
| Just picked up the Hitchhikers omnibus so I’ll get stuck into that Just finished all the dexters, man did I get stuck into them... also just finished Koji Suzuki’s spiral, AWESOME! |

| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Re reading the entire three world cycle series. |
| Killing Kennedy is an amazing read. his affairs and what not is pretty surprising. that is one horny president lol. but yea also talks about his emotional state and that badass duo he and his brother bobby made |
| this is my god damn signature. |
| 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke. It's a sequel though I've never read the first book, I can understand it enough. A science fiction story about a retrieval operation of a spaceship stuck in Jupiter. (How it was stuck there was the plot of the prequel.) I liked it because it talks about artificial intelligence, and aliens. And I'm a frustrated astronomer, so I can only 'realize' my dream by reading sci-fi. |
| Reading the HHGTTG books. They are odd books. The plot, characters and setting are all kinda stupid but the writing is so good that you just keep reading. |
| To my surprise, I can fit in one chapter a night of The Rise and Fall of Napoleon Bonaparte: Volume One. The first book covering "The Rise" and the second "The Fall". While they're thick books, the chapters are pretty darn short. I suppose even if I weren't in uni, I'd have to read a bit at a time. I'd rather let the facts sink in than just read a lot of chapters a day; there'd be no way I could remember anything. So far, I've just finished reading about his siege of Toulon. The bureaucracy Bonaparte had to put up with is just enough to make you sigh. Not only that, but the incompetent generals he served under before he could do what he wanted. The prose is rather dry, but it's better than the stuff from uni I have to read. I'm just surprised how much this book covered the French Revolution. |

| Matthew Reilly writes pretty beast novels and action series. Have many of his books. |
| I'm currently reading "A Thousand Years of Good Prayers" by Yiyun Li. It contains amazing short stories that reflects Chinese history(Especially the Cultural Revolution and their way of life shortly after the reign of Chairman Mao.) and Chinese society during the 20th century. A really comprehensive author if you ask me. In addition to my reading, I've picked up Flannery O'Connor's "Everything That Rises Must Converge" which also contains short stories. I plan to start reading it shortly after I've finished Yiyun Li's work. Lastly, has anyone read John Flanagan's fantasy novel series "Ranger's Apprentice"? If so, please tell me what you think of it, since I'm planning on buying the first book! |
| Catch-22. |
| reading arcadia by lauren groff right now with intermissions of kafka on the shore by murkami. though murakami is pretty boring to me at this point since all his novels are similar. also have the unedited draft of on the road for my next read. and no, i don't give a shit about that movie. |
| I'm currently reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower because someone bought me it for Christmas. It's a very sweet book, I'm not very far into it yet though. |
| After a six week hiatus in the middle of reading it I just finished Wolves of the Calla. It was enjoyable to be sure, but it left me wanting to immediately begin Song of Susannah. I don't think I will though, I think I'll take a break. |
| Anybody read Brandon Sanderson's new entry to his Mistborn universe? Frankly I don't have time atm but I'd like to get it soon. |

Getei said: Since there's a topic on this, can you recommend some good books? Fantasy, good story, mystery? Well,not exactly fantasy but I suggest you to read "Animal farm" by George Orwell. His book portrays political issues and totalitarian regime through animals. It's easy to read and if you're from Europe , this could be a really interesting experience. Ofcourse ,othervise , try Game of thrones. As for me. Yesterday after finishing overrated Hunger games trilogy(which wasn't that bad), my attention got focused on Neil Strauss and his work "The game". It's about pick-up artists who seduce (in my opinion simple minded) women. Oh,men and their instincts. |

| Right now a book on taoism. Other than that I just finished Red Storm Rising, and Death Star. |
