Went back six pages and couldn't fin one, so fuck it, here's a new one.I'm reading Neverwhere. It's been great so far, despite the somewhat cliché protagonist.
Great book, but I've had a hard time picking it up ever since my Maine vacation ended.
>>5064this will sound gross but....the term "bathroom reading" exists for a reason.
I kind of like Neverwhere myself, but unfortunately, clichés abound. There are some interesting bits too, so don't give up yet.
A Brief History of Time.It's not an easy ride.
Recently i've gone through Larsson's stuff, which I found to be a decent read.Now, in amongst comics and art books:The book thief and various Egyptian Mythology books.
I'll totally finish my Sherlock Holmes collection one day. Totally.
Books that I have started and have yet to finish:House of Leaves - Mark Danielewski (reread)Guns, Germs, and Steel - Jared DiamondAgainst the Day - Thomas PynchonThe Blank Slate - Steven PinkerAlso a while back I checked out Gödel, Escher, Bach from the library, but I only got a couple chapters in before they recalled it.I really need to finish some of these books. I started reading Against The Day in 2008. I have the same problem with videogames.
>>5060Oh hey, I just finished that a couple weeks ago. :3Right now it's All Quiet on the Western Front.
HELL YEAH, MOTHERFUCKER. I bought this yesterday, along with Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Guards! Guards! A book called 'Jailbait Zombie' also caught my eye; I might've bought it if I weren't worried about funny looks from my mother.Also I tried reading the Han Solo books I have, but my God they're so boring. Do all the Star Wars books rely so heavily on the reader being well-versed in the series lore? That's terrible story-telling.
>>5135Not all of 'em, no.See, this is why you always start with the Thrawn Trilogy. And then maybe end with the Thrawn Trilogy.
Just finished it this afternoon. Trying to get back into Rogue Squadron Book 1.
THE FACELESS ONES WAS SO GODDAMN AWESOME JESUS CHRIST DAT CLIMAX
Animorphs #2 and Necronomicon: The Best Weird Tales of H. P. Lovecraft
Thoughts so far:It had me laughing at the author biograph bluh. Then it went on to be only mildly interesting for a while, then Skulduggery started talking and oh god I want Derek Landy to write my dialogue now. The story is starting to pick up momentum now, and its nice to see a magic system for once were there's no huge drawbacks on fireballs.Overall; Impressed, will read more.
>>5179I want to reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaad thiiiiiiiiiisssss D:
>>5180What's stopping you?
>>5179Things will get increasingly interesting as the books go on. And the deaths just get more and more gruesome. By the third book, people are getting treated like wet towels.
>>5181
>>5185That sucks.But, what's your opinions on audiobooks? I did a quick search and found a few torrents of them.
>>5186I'm too paranoid for torrents.S'cool though. I will have them someday.
Because I was literally the only one in the office not to have read/obsess over it.
powering through the Temeraire series right now. Awesome stuff.
>>5248You know if the new one is out yet? I haven't been downtown in a while, so I don't know if my local stores are carrying it.Anyone who isn't reading this series should, by the way. This is fantastic freakin' stuff.
>>5249it's out! haven't read it yet as I'm still working through the rest of the series - I downloaded all of them in a single zip, so I can upload it if you want.I'm definitely planning to buy these asap.
Just finished this one for a second time, and I'm pretty sure it went from great to awesome.
>>5248>>5249I started reading that. First book was good, second started out well but I got severely bored with it about halfway through. Is it worth picking up again?
>>5255I would certainly recommend giving it a second chance. It's a series which always rewards you for reading on.
Augh God damn it Books-A-Million why don't you have Dark Days. FACELESS ONES DIDN'T HAVE A SATISFYING ENOUGH CONCLUSION, I NEED THE NEXT BOOK!
I'm reading The Dark Tower
Anansi Boys.
Faust Eric
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide.I finished book three and I can't find myself to start book four. I went and looked up plot summaries because I know I will never be able to finish the other three.Thinking about starting on my complete collection of Holmes.
Island by Aldus Huxley.I expected something better, but it's still nice.
Right now it's following three people with no visible connection whatsoever doing entirely different things in three far separate places. I can't wait to see how it all ties together.It also had a nice quote on voodoo a few pages back.
Right now I'm reading Hard Times for my English class, and so far it's just kind of pissing me off. Dickens may have been a great wordsmith, but his characters are just so annoyingly one-dimensional.Yes sir, I can see that these men are fun-hating statistics fetishists and that the little girl represents innocence and wonder. Can you please stop hitting me over the head with it now?
Jumper, and let me tell you, it just seems so better than the movie
>Reading Dark Days>Skulduggery's been driven 'mildly' insane
>>5402Oh I so want to read this. Good thing I finaly got hold of The faceless ones, and since I just finnished Count Zero I could start reading right aw...>Friend texts me>She's finished with Unseen academicals, says I can have it now.Decisions, Decisions...
"Under the Dome" by Stephen King. It's been about a decade since I've picked up a King book, and I've heard good things about this one.
Finally getting around to reading the second half of the Book of the New Sun. As was my experience with the first half, I'm enjoying it, but have no clue what the fuck is going on a little more often than I'm comfortable with. Also, these books have wicked cool covers.>>5408I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked UA. It's definitely worth reading when you get to it.
