Like many people I started reading A Song of Ice and Fire when the TV series came out. I'm getting near the end of A Storm of Swords. So far this is the most interesting book in the series.

Just started An Officer's Duty by Jean Johnson.

And just finished it. I sort of liked it. The heroine/narrator is too perfect for my tastes, but the concept of the book is pretty cool.

I just finished three novels by Carlos Ruiz Zafon: The Shadow of the Wind, The Angel's Game, and The Prisoner of Heaven. They're all a part of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series/trilogy, and I recommend them.

I'm currently catching up on my Michael Connelly with the second volume of Bosch novels (The Last Coyote, Trunk Music, and Angels Flight). I recommend the entire series for anyone who likes mysteries/crime novels.

I've also picked up two iBooks by MoMA: Century of the Child, along with MoMA: Collection Highlights. It might be interesting for others who like contemporary/modern art (but they're specific to iBooks I believe).

As far as my sci-fi reading goes, I just picked up a Philip K. Dick novel that I haven't read before - The Man in the High Castle (Hugo Award-winning novel if I'm not mistaken). I also bought Spin by Robert Charles Wilson.

In non-fiction land, I finished We Are Anonymous by Parmy Olson semi-recently. It was an interesting look at the hackers involved in LulzSec & Anonymous, along with the cesspit otherwise known as 4chan.

Still on Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy. Gosh its been 10 months since I posted on this thread? Someone warned me not to read Mostly Harmless but I'm going to ignore that. 2 chapters in and its decent so far.

Hope you enjoy more than me then. It´s clear Adams was feeling really low when he wrote it.

If I can find it I'll start Icarus Effect Deus Ex Human Revolution book.

Where are you from? I got it through bookdepository, no shipping costs.

I read a previous book in that series with a similar name. Enjoyable read.


Currently near the end of 'Wake of the Bloody Angel' by Alex Bledsoe. A hard boiled Detective story crossed with a Pirate tale set in a fantasy world. Some of my favorite literary things all in one book. So hard for me to pass up.

I'm reading I Am Legend. It's really good, though much different than the movie.

Recently finished Homeland, the first in the Forgotten Realms series- gives Drizzt Do'Urden's back story.

I've read too many books to list here. Genres range from scifi to historical romance to fairytales.

I refuse to read any vampire books or any 50 shades of grey gunk.

I'm currently rereading Mansfield Park.  Mrs. Norris is deliciously dreadful.

Starship Troopers. Pretty good, though not quite as much bug-killing as I'd hoped.

That looks like a lot of fun!

I'd like to read some Jack Vance but don't know where to start. Is his fantasy series any good? Lyonesse Chronicles, I think it's called?

He is very good. This might be a good start. That series isn't my favourite, but it's hard to beat the price.

Anything with Dying Earth in it is really good and should please both fans of fantasy and science fiction.

Wow, thanks, that looks like a winner.

The last book I actually read was "Dragonships: Secret of the Dragon". I rarely ever get the time to sit and read, but I usually have an audiobook playing in my ears. Currently working my way through "A Song of Ice and Fire: A Dance With Dragons" and "The Elder Scrolls: The Infernal City". They help me get through work and give me inspiration while working on my art!

[breakdown71289]

Well i'm not currently reading anything at the moment, but i do have a collection of Harry Potter books that still need to be read.....i really need to get on that lol.

Trying to read Under the Volcano by Malcom Lowry. Not has hard has I though it would be, and I must say I've had multiple orgasmic revelations reading it due to it's beautiful literacy. An actually worthwhile classic.

Just finished Tarzan of the Apes, was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Currently reading The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. So far so good.

Just started My Life As A White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland. I'm about one third of the way through and it's pretty amusing. In some ways her life gets better as a zombie.

I am reading a book written by a Dutch friend. Some parts in the first few chapters of the book are very recognizable, because I lived in that area. That gives it an extra flair. She's very creative, but, I am of course biased.

I liked the ES novels.  They're a quick and easy read, and fill in some of the gap between Oblivion and Skyrim.

Planning on starting the "Sword of Truth" series for ages now. Here in Belgium however, I cannot find it in English, and I refuse to read it in Dutch

[Eurypterid]

Reading Into the Silence. Starts off a little slow (although still interesting) but damn, does it get good. Currently about half way through and it's a very compelling read.
