| Anyone read any Mo Yan? He won the Nobel Prize in Lit 2012. I picked up Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out the other day, looking forward to reading it. |

| I heard of the guy, but I don't read poetry. :x I recently finished another book by Brandon Sanderson; The Alloy of Law. So good to be back to the universe of the mist. Can't wait for the next installment. |
| All of his popular works are novels, Tachii. He may write poetry as well though, I'm not sure. |

| I'm currently reading America Again. Ha ha It's probably something that I could finish in a day if I just sat down with it, but I've had little free time these days. xP |

| Down and Out in Paris and London |
| Inheritance by Christopher Paolini |
    Do you have any idea how stupid we are? Don't underestimate us!!! |
| I'm reading a book called "Scottish murders". It's about old, horrific murder cases in Scotland. |
| "A man wishing to be unhappy finds many ways to prove his course." - Hundred eyes |
| I am at the end of: Dead Space: Catalyst - slow start and to be honest, not that different from Dead Space: Martyr. |
 |
| I just finished Freakonomics and am moving onto Superfreakonomics next. |
| The Hobbit and the graphic novel Persepolis. |
| Freakonomics |
| As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all. |
| reading an allen ginsberg poem collection right now blasting through tender is the night occasionally reading arcadia by lauren groff when interest lends itself picked up a copy of sentimental education for 8 dollars today, very happy about that forcing myself to read mockingjay, which i'm finding to be kind of a load of garbage right now. catching fire was much better. |
| Pride and prejudice and zombies – reading it for the lols... Spiral - Koji Suzuki. Epic |
| Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I guess I'm a bit of a Potterhead. This would be the 2nd time that I've reread Harry Potter books |

| A Clash of Kings by George R. R. Martin. |
| SO I finished all three books of the The Hunger games The Hunger games: Very good Catching fire: okay Mockingjay: bad Also I read Battle Royale and watched the movie and holy shit did I notice that THG basically plagiarized Battle Royale. |
 |
| I haven't read Mockingjay and I'm not sure if I ever will. I enjoyed the first two, though. |

| Currently about halfway through The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle. I've read a couple of other Murakami books, but this one is definitely my favorite thus far. I'm actually looking forward to reading some of his short stories as well. |
| I just finished a novel by Donna Tartt titled The Secret History, it was excellent. I recently started reading Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? |
| I'm almost 2/3 of the way through Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison. It's okay and I want to finish reading it but it's not really gripping me at all. Hopefully it gets better. The climax should be good and action-packed. |
| The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories by H.P. Lovecraft. Such a great writer that has no trouble creeping me out. |
| Just finished reading both of Russell Brand's autobiographies. He's like a God among men. |
 |
| I was recommend by my Boss to read, "Who moved my cheese." I am sure anyone who works in management has read this book. It is a great read and I would recommend it to anyone. |
| Be humble or be humbled. |
| Warm Bodies. Never heard of it til yesterday and now halfway through the book. Post-apocalyptic Romeo and Juliet with zombies FTW! |
   |

IMO, it's an excellent fantasy series. Any more suggestion's guys? |

| I currently read A Child Called It. It was a very upsetting book x_x I'm trying to get my hands on As Nature Made Him. I'm in my last semester of college, and a psych major, so reading books about real people and their issues has been really interesting to me. |

Unusual. But also quite fun. I rather enjoy seeing people played for fools without anyone having to resort to waving magic wands. |

| Currently reading "The Passage" By Justin Cronin. It's kind of hard to explain what this book is about since I'm only a quarter of the way in, but essentially it's about a girl named Amy who was basically abandoned by her mother at a young age. She's now being chased by a secret government organization seeking to cure incurable diseases and even extend the human lifespan through the taming of some unknown virus. It's a longer read, more for a mature audience, but it's really interesting nonetheless. |

| A Little History of Philosophy by Nigel Warburton The easiest way to appear intellectual is to read a children's introduction to philosophy. |
| I'm currently reading Dark Place. It's about a woman (Libby) whose family got slaughtered by her own brother. Her older brother gets imprisoned by her testimony against him. 30 years later, we see Libby, almost penniless... she then gets invited to a club.. called the kill club. Where the members are obssessed with homicide cases and there are some members who believe that her brother is innocent... |

| Dubliners by James Joyce Give me a few years and I'l have finished Finnegan's Wake and be a gibbering wreck of a human being. |

| Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes |
| Oh yes, need to get back to Dubliners and Ulysses some day. Finnegan's wake will wait though. Almost finished with 4 Sisters, by Tanizaki. Had good moments, but was kind of boring overall. I enjoyed Svastika more. |
