Thread: What are you reading?

The reality dysfunction, from the nights dawn trilogy. I'm in 300 pages and It's just as good as all peter f hamiltons other works.

Multiple books

Game of Thrones - George R.R Martin
Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee - Dee Brown
Cosmos - Carl Sagan


I RECOMMEND Fearless by Eric Blehm

Ex-Communication (by Peter Clines) just came out, and I've started reading it. It's the much anticipated third part of the Ex-Heroes trilogy (Zombies + Superheroes, people!!!)

The first two books were a lot of fun, and my fast-reading friends tell me this one is really awesome too.

Brave New World

I'm reading Akumu Love panic! I really enjoy it. Akumu Love Panic! | A fiction serial about sex, magic, and terror in Japan.

Reading Porno by Irvine Welsh. I don't really like it much. As a companion to Tspotting, I find Skagboys far superior. The characters feel much too old in this sequel. It makes me feel uncomfortable and horribly aware of my own mortality. Maybe that's the point, but I think that'd be giving Mister Welsh a bit too much credit.

After that, I picked up the first novel of Stephen Kings The Dark Tower which I've been wanting to read for yonks. I picked up a later edition, that according to the jacket, is "revised and expanded throughout". Something something the later books don't mesh well with the older ones so Stephen King had to go back and sort it all out something something. I know this series is p. popular, if any of you cats have read it and want to tell me if I should stick to the original go ahead.

last thing I've read was World War Z by Max Brooks it was kind of boring to me..... now I am not reading anything

Last book I've read was Inferno by Dan Brown. I loved it.

Now I'm reading Misery by Stephen King.

Currently reading through Blackveil the 4th book in the Green Rider series. I have to say, that while sometimes the author's writing is standard or overly dramatic, and I sometimes don't understand her humor, I love this series. I impatiently await the 5th book which is due out in May 2014.

...I dearly wish she hadn't left it as a cliffhanger, since there are usually many years between her books.

I'm reading Ella Minnow Pea (yes, that's a pun) for school.

I've been reading the Silos series by Hugh Howey: Wool, Shift, and now I'm on Dust. It's a really interesting world: post-apocalyptic bunkers with careful, cold-blooded social engineering in place to keep people from tearing each other apart or busting out prematurely into the deadly wastes. The characters in the first book were great, but the second book dragged a bit. There was still a lot of interesting material, but less sympathetic characters, and a large chunk of it was backstory on one relatively minor character who, IMO, was no more fleshed out for all the details provided. The third book is better, introducing the good characters from book one to all the stuff we learned in book two.

Spoiler for Weird spoiler from book two:

It's never presented as a really deep part of the world-building and there's no clear political message behind it, but all of the survivors of the apocalypse were attendees of a Democratic National Convention. I see a trend lately to make Democrats the bad guys in fiction featuring politicians just because, it seems, Republicans plotting the end of the world would be too obvious.

Working on Poison Study. It's one of those books that I always saw at the library and couldn't decide if I really wanted to read it. The world is interesting, I suppose, but I can't see myself wanting to revisit it.

Ella Minnow Pea was better than I expected. I recommend it. It's approx. 200 pages, but it's written as a series of letters, so many pages contain less that 1/2 a page of text, so it's a rather short read.

Currently reading MaddAddam...it's awesome, I love that trilogy, I think Oryx and Crake is my all time favourite book.

Winter Moon by Dean Koontz, in German to learn some.

I haven't read a novel in like 2 years. But I'm finally breaking that trend by finally reading the 5th ASOIAF book: A Dance with Dragons. I'm so ashamed of myself. I read the first 4 and was a huge fan before HBO even decided to make Game of Thrones. I should have been in the front lines to get those books the day they came out.

I've decided to read again because I've become increasingly terrible at expressing myself. I barely manage to get the words across to express what I want. I used to be so good with language, speaking and writing. Lately I've felt like an idiot. I'm hoping my lack of reading has been the cause and that I'll get better.

The Box Uncanny Stories

I didn't know The Box is a collection of short stories, I'd had only seen the movie a long time ago. The first story is Button, Button which the movie is based on, and oh my goodness Norma is a complete bitch!

Now reading some books by Greg Bear, sci-fi, they're pretty good.
Blood music, Darwin's radio and Darwin's children - these three are all about genetic modification of humans, but with different themes.
Recommended if you like sci fi!

i'm about 2/3 of the way through the godfather

I just ended Nightmares of Eminent Persons by Bertrand Russell and I really liked it.

Currently blazing through The Liar's Lullaby by Meg Gardiner.

On the third book of the Mistborn Trilogy now but I'm holding off till the intermission period for exams

"A vital exploration of modern man's search for meaning," says Amazon. I'm a big fan of philosophy stuff. If you are too, grab a copy; it's a fascinating read thus far.

Reading several books:

Let the right one in
Dexter by design
Introductory Neuroscience

The first one comes after I've become completely fascinated by the film, pure masterpiece.
