-
I'm currently working on the Space Odyssey series
-
very nearly done wolf sangel i would give it 5 out of 5 so good
-
I just finished His Dark Materials. Oh, wonderful books, wonderful. I'd say even better than The Hobbit. I'll be moving on to Lyra's Oxford soon. After that, hmm. Maybe LotR, I haven't actually READ that yet. Or maybe something else.
Or just continue the Discworld series.
-
I got about half way through the first book in the LotR series before I just couldn't read anymore. The hobbit was really good in my opinion, but for some reason I just couldn't read LotR. He spends like every other page describing some landscape and I'm just like o.O ok move on with the story please...
-
The act of reading in large quantities is rather hard for me. That's why I listen to audiobooks instead. I count it as reading because you get the exact same story, only by ear and not eye. I recommend it!!

-Lord of Chaos (book six of Wheel of Time) by Robert Jordan
-Beyonders: A World Without Heroes (for school)

I recently read "The First Book of Lapism" by Phil Geuez. Really enjoyed it, in part because I am an Athiest and the story is about the founding of a humanistic bunny religion.. people get genenigeered int anthro bunnies to make them more human... I read the 4 parts of the story in the order the author has laid them out in the book, however I think it would read just as well if not better if it was read in the chronological order that the author offers as a suggestion in the prologue. i really don't think it gives too much away and wif ould actually enhance other parts of the story if read that way.
It has some good philosophical ideas that get you thinking too.

if you really want some vintage Asimov, go for his other Robot series, like Caves of Steel :3

Loved his work since I read the foundation saga when I was 12, been hunting all the books I can since then. Asimov was the author that got me into Sci-Fi in the first place.
-
the devine comedy by Dante is good book but its hard to read

-
I'm currently reading 'Thud!' by Terry Pratchett. It's fantastic, but I'd rather be reading something new...
-
Finally finished Rakkety Tam by Brian Jacques and finished the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I suppose I should finish the series, but my brother kind of spoiled everything for me :/
-
I cant post the title due to how vulgar it is but its by tucker max so if you know who he is you know what im talking about
-
Right now I'm reading a Michael, the second book in the Airel series, by Aaron Patterson and Chris White. I doubt anyone on here has ever heard of it. It's not exactly the most popular book ever.
-
I just found out Joseph Heller wrote a sequel to Catch 22 called Closing Time. So I am about to read that.
-
I loved Catch-22, but I didn't know if the sequel was any good or not XD
I myself am reading "Your Inner Fish" by Neil Shubin. It's a biology/geology book for my geology class about the discovery of Tiktaalik and it's effect on evolutionary theory. Pretty interesting ^_^
-
I'm reading "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins in which he explains the improbability of there being a God and how the world would be a better place without religion, making use of evidence, referring to real world events and quoting various people in both the scientific and theological worlds.

I wish there was a thread dedicated to just this book. I'd like to talk to others about what they think of Lapism...

Stephen King's The Stand
-
Knots and Crosses by Ian Rankin
-
the gargoyle for the third time,I just love it:)
-
Dmitry Glukhovsky's Metro 2033, for the 7th time. I can't even scratch the surface on a description of how much this book is an amazing story. The game was based on it, and sadly fails on a few parts, but story-wise even the game is one of my most appreciated games ever. Both the game and original book's story are just so unique and amazing.
-
*Cracks knuckles* Here goes...I'm currently reading...
Dreams of Joy
Dracula
Mockingjay
Arabian Nights
Bluestar's Prophecy
Dark Tower: The Waste Lands
A Girl Named Disaster
-
Paradise Lost by John Milton
-
Temeraire - Empire of Ivory
It's the 4th book in the series, and I've read the previous three in a week, all of them having more than 350 pages. Damn, such a great read.
-
I'm reading the first book of the Rain Wildes Series by Robin Hobb (Which is called "Dragon Keeper").
So far I'm loving it :O
-
Currently reading; "The Wolf Gift", by Anne Rice.
So far... it's just not very good. I don't know if I'm going to bother finishing it. I've finished worse books, before (I somehow managed to read "Twilight" all the way through to the end), but something about this is just isn't appealing to me.

Oh, cool! I played the game, and I enjoyed it so much I was thinking about getting the book. I've read the first few pages, but I can't quite tell if it will be my kind of book. Does it pick up much? Right now it's a lot of world-explanation, which is frankly kind of boring. I'm waiting on the plot to start.
As for what I'm reading, I'm reading Waterways by Kyell Gold for the second time. I don't read it too often because I usually read in public, and the book makes me cry. Sometimes because it's so touching and other times because it's so sad. I really love the book, though.
-
Just started reading Pattern Recognition by William Gibson.
I haven't gotten through much of the story yet, but can I just say the prose is just exquisite :D
-
Dragons of Spring Dawning was such a good book. That entire little set was a fairly entertaining read.
I currently just finished rereading Invisible Monsters: Remix by Chuck Palahniuk.
It's not exactly something many people would read in high school, but a great eyeopener and will keep you turning the pages.
Working on This Side of Paradise by the wonderful F. Scott Fitzgerald (had me hooked since Gatsby and The Beautiful and Damned) and Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Not exactly easy reads, but if you want to build your vocabulary...look no further than the second.
-
I just finished the lost symbol by dan brown im looking to read his new one once I can get my hands on it
-
A Game of Thrones :P
-
A Game of Thrones :P
brace yourself, feels are coming
-
Just sat down and read Greylands by Isobelle Carmody in one sitting. Quite a timeless piece. Funnily enough this book was somewhat of a mirror for me at this time :\
-
Percy Jackson And The Olympions. I love the book LOATHE THE MOVIE WITH A DEEP DEEP HATE! A HATE DEEPER THEN TARTARUS!
-
Clockwork Princess-Cassandra Clare
-
the case book of Sherlock Holmes by sir Arthur Conan Doyle
-
I started reading "Confessions of an English Opium Eater" by Thomas de Quincey. Interesting book so far...o.O
-
The hitch hiker's guide to the galaxy.
-
Currently reading: "Dune", by Frank Herbert. (pretty close to finishing it, in fact)
I've never gotten around to reading it before - it's pretty good. :)
-
I started reading 1984.
I haven't picked it up in a while but it's an excellent book, I just haven't been in the mood to read at all recently, way to much required readings at uni
-
Life of Pi by Yann Martel
So far so good :3
-
I just finished reading 'Embedded' by Dan Abnett, as I'd been meaning to pick it up and see what his non-Black Library writing was like, and my local library had a copy. It was good; the firefights and the setting I really enjoyed, but the plot and characters were a little thin. Not to say I wouldn't mind more of the same though.
I'm just moving onto 'Ready Player One', as the library had that too.
My girlfriend bought us both Kindles as well... they should be arriving on Monday. I expect to be finding a lot more to read shortly o.0
-
Dan Abnett! That I should find his name here on the Forums! :D
Love his books, most of all his Warhammer 40K series 'Gaunt's Ghosts' (really enjoyed the action-packed novels with the huge numbers of amazing characters).
Right now, I'm reading the first books of Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld'-series. Weirdest and funniest books ever (except maybe from 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', but that is a class apart ^_^ ).
-
I recently got a Kindle Fire, so I've been reading a lot of eBooks on that. It's pretty convenient, and there's a lot of free or cheap ones too. I've been catching up on military thrillers, and especially alternate history ones. The latest one I'm reading is 'Falklands 2: This time it's different', which is ok, if riddled with spelling mistakes and bad punctuation.
-
I am reading The Frontiersmen by Allan W. Eckert... every time I tell someone I am reading this book they always seem so shocked
-
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad;
Such a throwback to Honors English in high school...
-
just about to finish inheritance by christopher paolini then idk department 19 or the gone series
-
I'm uhh kind of reading my own ^^ Heh!
One more chapter to go and I can publish it.
-
The Murder of King Tut by James Paterson
-
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld. It's so gooood.
-
Not really a book-book, but "The Murders in Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allen Poe
Auguste Dupin is one of my favorite characters.
-
^ Edgar Allen Poe RULES. Just saying...
-
since I might as well post here, earth afire by O. S. Card.
-
Poe is the man.
And now, The Silent History by Eli Horowitz.
-

He spends like every other page describing some landscape and I'm just like o.O ok move on with the story please...
I honestly think that's the best part about the series. The detailed character and scenery development are the best part about Tolkien.

This being December, I am reading through Everyman's Pocket Classics' Anthology of Christmas Stories. These are a collection of authors throughout the ages ranging from Charles Dickens to Alice Munro. I'm on Nikolai Gogol's Night Before Christmas, which is about this blacksmith trying to win over the town Aphrodites against the opposition of her father and the devil, who put out the moon. Also, his mother is a man-juggling witch with the hots for the local farmer.
I also am reading The Fellowship with intent to pay attention this time. A lot of it reads more like a field guide than an actual novel. I need to get on Ngyao Marsh's Christmas themed novel. There's a book of murder mysteries set at Christmas called "Murder for Christmas" that has some authors that I need to check out.
