| In the process of reading The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare. Currently on City of Glass. |
| As for normal novels, I am currently reading "And then There were None" by Agatha Christie, as for light novels, I have lost count. |

| I'm currently reading Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Dawn by Yoshiki Tanaka. Really hope they translate all the volumes. Having read about 2/3 of the book and watched about 40 episodes of the anime, I honestly think it needs more recognition. |
| I had to read Li Xun for University, but I actually really liked his short stories. I know they're political parables, but they're also fun just to read "as is," you know? I also just purchased a massive book entitled "War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race." Which is, of course, about the USA's embarrassing and tragic obsession with eugenics & its aftermath. I've always been interested in this (attempted) forgotten part of history, so I'm thrilled! |

| I am currently reading Nerve by Jeanne Ryan. I watched the movie when it was released in theaters a month or two ago. I thought that the movie was entertaining, but the book has not been the same at all. I supposed if I had read the book first and then watched the movie, I would have been upset with the movie. But, the book just doesn't really seem that great after having seen the movie. |
| I've just finished reading crime and punishment by Dostoevsky. Going to read Lolita. |
| Alternating between Assassin's Apprentice (English) and the Witcher Saga - The Last Wish (German). The back-and-forth is quite amusing The Last Wish, if anyone has read it: Chapter 3, the one with the Shrike. It's my favorite episode. The moral conflict and Geralt's stance toward it is very interesting. What's more is how it's structured. You hear one person's side of the story, and meet the other person, who mirrors more or less the opinions of his enemy. A lot of "oh shit" moments without any action, that's what I like the most. |

| Enid by Marmaduke Pickthall. Being a Victorian novel, it reminds me of Jane Austen and Bronte sisters. It took me a while to get used to the endless descriptions of nature and other surroundings, but I like the Emersonian vibe it has. So far, good! |

| I'm currently reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey, and rereading Hornet Flight by Ken Follett. |
Mikasa said: Alternating between Assassin's Apprentice (English) and the Witcher Saga - The Last Wish (German). The back-and-forth is quite amusing I've read both of those series and they're really great. The two short story compilations of Witcher are probably my favourites of the series but the main story books are a fun ride too. It's especially enjoyable to play Witcher 3 after reading all of the books, seeing how many references the game makes to the books. Assassin's Apprentice is a part of a huge series called Realm of the Elderlings, spanning over 5 trilogies so far. The author, Robin Hobb, releases about one book per year, with a few exceptions, so you wont be stranded without the next book in the series for a decade. If you ever catch up to the latest book. Im currently reading the 4th trilogy/tetralogy of the series and will probably re-read the first and third trilogies before getting into the latest trilogy, because the last book of the latest trilogy isnt out until next year and I wanna read the whole trilogy in one go. The 1st, 3rd and 5th trilogies all share the same first person pov main character while the 2nd and 4th alternate between a bunch of different characters, similar to the Game of thrones book. |
| Picked up William Gibson's Neuromancer. I've heard it can be a hard read for some, so let's see about that. |
| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| Finished Lolita, surprisingly good, Nabokov is great. Currently reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, and some TS Eliot poems. |
| Finished The Art of War a week ago. Was good, not as good as I expected it though. I'm on A Song of Ice and Fire: A Game of Thrones. |
| Currently reading Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria, you know, the top rated light novel here on mal. Havent gone far with it yet just about to finish the first volume but i can say its pretty good tho it has a lot of elements that can also be found in a lot of light novels out there but yeah, was still enjoying it. |
 |
| I just started reading a book called A Little Life. Pretty interesting so far, though I haven't reached the dramatic part yet. It's too fucking long though, 700+ pages so I hope it's compelling all the way through! |
| Anyone else reading Six of Crows? |
| End Zionazism |
| Lying by Sam Harris |
| I'm reading a brazilian's book : Sagarana it's about rural people and theirs culture |
There's no heart without you! |
| Read Fahrenheit 451 in one sitting on a plane ride. I really enjoyed it, even if it felt somewhat predictable at times. |
| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| At the moment, I'm reading "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom. |

Its a good book if I recall, didn't think it was too predicable either but I guess I didn't try predicting it Ot; finished Catch 22, wonderfully funny book with some very dark undertones. |

| I'm reading a strange contemporary piece by Hungarian writer Parti Nagy Lajos.The title is "A Test Angyala", the literal translation of it would be "The Angel of The Body".This book is bordering the genre of parody to be honest, it deliberately uses incorrect grammar and whatnot, with which it tells an incredibly mundane story.It might not be up everyone's alley, but it's a great read for enthusiasts and appraisers of the Hungarian language. |

Yarub said: How you were able to concentrate on reading it on a plane is out of my mind. Is it worth it? Well, there's not much to do on a plane so it was pretty easy to concentrate. And yeah I'd say it's worth it, it's a nice read, very straightforward. |

| I'm currently reading Sick in the Head by Judd Apatow. I'm enjoying it so far. |
| Just picked up A Tale of Two Cities. I'll get into that soon enough. |
| Reading Rashomon by Ryuunosuke Akutagawa . It's really great . picked it up because of akutagawa's character in stray dogs . |
 |
| My friend recently recommended me The Name of the Wind, so I decided to give it a read. |
 Love-love the stars Love-love the moon Nothing comes even close To half of you |
| Reading Crooked Kingdom, it's quite decent, and in some ways reminds me of One Piece. The victorian-dutch steampunk vibe it has going on mainly. The characters' flashbacks are all the more reminiscent. Now about to start part 5 of the book, so 20~ chapters left. |
| End Zionazism |
| Re-reading Showdown and Sinner by Ted Dekker. Still as great as I remember. |
| "Let Justice Be Done!" My Theme Fight again, fight again for justice! |
| I've just started reading Adam Ant's book, Stand & Deliver. (I'm about two chapters in). Man, I adored Adam Ant before but now I love him even more. He's very relatable, and honestly quite brave. đź’‹ |

| Started to re-read The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Claire cuz that series is <3 |
 "The other day I met this man, a nice guy, y'know? And we had a really good chat. Then I slit his throat and ripped his heart out through his chest. Does that make me a bad person?" |
DragonSlayer_19 said: Is it the "Rashomon and 17 other stories" collection? There are so many great stories in there. Rashomon probably wouldn't make my top ten, although it's still good.Reading Rashomon by Ryuunosuke Akutagawa . It's really great . picked it up because of akutagawa's character in stray dogs . |

| Finished the disaster artist by Greg Sestero, pretty funny book about the making of the room. I really recommend it. Hopefully I can now finish the count of Monte Cristo before the new year.. |
| I've been here way too long... |
Good luck. I've had it on my reading list since July, I haven't been able to pick it up since August. It's just extremely tedious. |

| Crooked Kingdom... such a disappointment. Bleh, weak ending. |
| End Zionazism |
| The Gambler by Dostoyevsky. Decent book. |
| The Charioteer by Mary Renault. Nothing I could ever write about it could do this piece of writing justice. I don't want it to end. |

| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| Abit into The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. Would probably end it next week end. |
| cyclonopedia complicity with anonymous materials by reza negrestani it's speculative realist theory-fiction about the middle east as a sentient entity and it's good |
| I'm currently reading Giovanni Boccaccio's Decamerone. I usually don't tend to enjoy books I have to read for school, but this one is rather interesting. I didn't expect it to be as amusing as it is. Reading this and Dante's Divine Comedy made me realize that the world hasn't changed so much since the Middle Ages. |
