I'm currently reading Sabrina by Samuel A. Taylor. I'm really enjoying it~

 

[Dusky]

The Book Thief. Is it odd this is my first read through? And I'm twenty! xD

 

[Sugar Rush]

Mistborn: The Final Empire. Great book so far and I've heard great, great things about the trilogy.

 

[M0N0]

I'm reading some slightly old-school horror by H.P Lovecraft; The good ol Necronomicon.


Tons of weird short stories stuffed into one book, which I absolutely adore.

 

[call me rae]

The Aeronaught's Windlass. Soundless. and hoping to restart the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher soon.

 

[Negative Zone]

Sloooowly making my way through the Wheel of Time series because at one point last year I was in a Mood for overwrought doorstopper epic fantasy, realized I hadn't read the series, and impulse ordered the whole dang thing from ebay since my local library system only had a few of the books.


I probably would have absolutely devoured it about 15 years ago but as it is now I'm still enjoying it even with some of the iffier aspects. Though when I say slowly I mean slowly, I'm still only on the second book since I took a very long break after finishing the first last summer. I don't read as much as I used to as I don't really have a space I can just curl up and spend a couple hours in and kind of get into a reading trance.

 

[Atreus]

Guns, Germs, and Steel and a bit of Tao Te Ching. I've had a minimal interest in history for most of my life but it's often hard to put down GGS.

I've heard the books are much better than the movies as is often the case. Is it with TII?

Well City of Bones was better book wise and so far that is the only TII book that has a movie.

Same! Necronomicon was excellent. It has some of his best stories. I'm actually reading the second compilation Eldritch Tales. It's not quite as good but still very enjoyable.


Also, I'm reading Faust by Goethe.

I am reading Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card.


Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet


and a few other I do not remember.

[heliconia]

If I Stay by Gayle Forman.

 

[Corrosion]

Halo: Fall of Reach. Great book that actually predates the game itself.

 

[ARSENIC]

A Song of Ice & Fire.


I giggled like a schoolgirl during the Red Wedding in the TV show, watching my friends gasp and cry.


Then Shireen died and I was screaming at the TV screen for like 10 minutes after the episode ended.
