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.
http://www.amazon.com/First-Book-Lapism-ebook/dp/B002HRF7SO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330132994&sr=8-2

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

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.

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

Outside on a winter's night as the rain begins to fall
There's a chill in the air and the howl of a wolf while the rain beats at the door
Seven kings will ride on the wind up towards        the mountains high                             
And the only sound that will break the air is the warrior's bitter cry

-Starfire by Dragonforce.

For those who know me I'm still kicking around here, enjoying life. For those who don't know me I do invite you to get to know me if you'd like :3.

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.
