[Luke3184]

Spent the last month on 'A Song of Ice and Fire' just finishing up 'A feast for crows' now

Then I'll move on too the after-blight chronicles, and then a lot of Tom Holt stuff

On the non fiction front:-

Haralambos and Holbern:- Sociological themes and perspectives
Weimer and Nazi Germany
A2 Sociology
And so very many books on the Civil Rights movement


It's going to be a fun Spring

Last book I read :"Final Exit- the Practicalities of Self Deliverance and Assisted Suicide for the Dying" by Derek Humphrey

Book I'm reading right now: "Glasslands" by Karen Traviss

Next book I'm gonna read: the entire Soul Eater Manga...

...if I'd suggest a book it would either be "Final Exit" or the Night Angel series by Brent Weeks... Night Angel fuckin rocked!!!

American Gods by Neil Gaiman was the last book I read. It's pretty good, all about various gods from around the world trying to survive in modern America, and competing with the 'new' gods of technology, media, etc. I intend to hit the bookstore later in the week though, as books are my primary method of delaying my inevitable shooting spree.

American Gods is one of my favorite books. If you haven't read it yet, pick up Neverwhere by Gaiman.

I'm about halfway through George R.R Martin's A Feast for Crows at the moment. Not liking it as much as the previous books in the series, but we'll see what happens.

My god.... You have the same favourite book as me and you are reading the same book as me..... I... Well I'm kind of scared now :/

On another note, have you read Good Omens? It's joint top for me with AG.

 

[Flamezdudes]

Only just got around to starting "A Game of Thrones"

Got it for Christmas and I have to say it might just be my favourite present. Already bought A Clash of Kings in anticipation!

Trust me, the entire series is brilliant and just keeps getting better and better. I've become a massive fan of it already and the tv series is just great too!

Just finished reading the Mass Effect trilogy (Revelation, Ascension & Retribution, great books get them if you're a Mass Effect fan). Now I'm going to go through the unread books of my Raymond E. Feist collection! First up the Serpentwar Saga.

 

[ColorfulObscurity]

Last book I read: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Book I'm reading now: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
Book I'm reading next: The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

This book is absolutely amazing. It deserves at least 5 consecutive read-throughs.

Finished Concrete Island by J.G Ballard a few days ago, really enjoyed it and got straight into Metropole by Ferenc Karinthy. It's different and I'm interested to see where the story goes.

 

[Da Orky Man]

Well, I just finished Hyperspace by Michio Kaku, Inheritance by Christopher Paolini, and Forever Free by Joe Haldeman. Now moving onto Snuff by Terry Pratchett and Foundation by Isaac Asimov.

Yeah, I've been reading a lot more since my netbook's power socket decided to commit seppuku.

 

[Hunter15]

Yes I have! I love it. I keep trying to imagine which parts are Pratchett's ideas and which are Gaiman's

I'm in agreement with ya considering I read Game Of Thrones Last november then got Clash Of Kings, Storm Of Swords And Feast of crows for christmas. I Just started Kings and am loving it. Still haven't watched the tv series though, it is on my to do list.

If I'm allowed to add this a little late into the thread...

I recently finished "Strangers in Paradise" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangers_in_Paradise] by Terry Moore. Very well done and a great read. I was hooked

[sub]Yeah, its a graphic novel.[/sub]

 

[Fishehh]

Uh... Yahtzee's Mogworld yesterday during a power-outage.

It's not bad, but the prologue is confusing.

Yes I have! I love it. I keep trying to imagine which parts are Pratchett's ideas and which are Gaiman's

From what I gather from interviews Adam and the Azreal/Crowley stuff is primarily Pratchett and the horsemen and Newt, Shadwell, Anathema and Agnes Nutter pits are Gaiman. Although there was a lot of cross over ideas as you would expect...

But yeah such a good book!

Reading AC: Revelations at the moment.
I've played all the games, but I was gifted the novelization for Christmas. So, might as well...

In the vein of gaming novels, I also need to swipe Glasslands as well as Cryptum and Primordium. Glasslands because Travis, and Forerunner Saga because Forerunners.

I'll also re-read my dad's Discworld collection from time to time. Got to pick up some actual novels sometime, and not just the gaming stuff.

"Inheritance" by Christopher Paolini and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" by Stieg Larson.

 

[Stein Inge]

Just finished "The Towers of Midnight". Pretty damned good!

Currently trying to decide if I should get the latest Eragon or the latest A song of Ice and Fire.... The agony of choice!

 

[Bruenin]

Books?

I need to get more books... some good fantasy books, kind of want to finish the pendragon series but I lost track

 

[Lilred9]

I just finished Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Currently reading: Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare (my fav author) and Peace Like a River by Leif Eniger (I think that's how you spell his last name not sure)
Both are pretty good. The second was assigned by my teacher and it's written well but its not my genre.
