Books

[Luke3184]

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.

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.

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!

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.

I've had a productive reading week. I finally put the cap on Anarcy Evolution and Stranger than Fiction , two books I read halfway through almost a year ago and only just decided to finish. Afterwards, I started and finished Haunted and Diary . I'm a huge Chuck Palahniuk fan, if you can't tell. Next, I think I'll move onto Juliet, Naked .

 

[chaosyoshimage]

I'm reading Mockingjay and plan on reading Star Wars: Darth Plagueis afterwords. I just got American Gods (10th Anniversary Edition) for my Kindle today, it's on sale for $2 today!

 

[Flailing Escapist]

I just finished Damned [http://chuckpalahniuk.net/news/official-synopsis-for-damned-the-new-novel] by Palahniuk and started Inheritance [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inheritance_(novel)] by Paolini.

Both good books in their own regard.

We must be really bored if we're asking people what they're reading just for the sake of asking.

Currently reading The Rampage of Haruhi Suzumiya. I can easily cut reading at the end of a paragraph when my work break is over and continue later on.
Also reading Katawa Shoujo. Somehow ended up on Rin's path when I was aiming for Lilly. Avoiding Rin got me killed, so I had to load a save. Turns out I was too far in and that was the last choice of Act 1.

Meaning to read Haruhi-Chan 4 and Witchblade Redemption. I'm also interested in reading Faust because The Church of Madoka asked who read it because they watched the show.

I finished The Crucible by Arthur Miller today for my English class.

I think I liked it.. I was confused for most of the play, getting characters like Parris and Proctor, as well as their wives and all the kids in the story, mixed up, and sometimes just having no idea what the hell they're talking about, like all of Act IV.

But still, that end of Act III.. Holy crap. I can't wait to watch the movie after school tomorrow and see that.

 

[Mariakko]

I'm reading A feast for crows at the moment then I'll read A dance with dragons because I hate not reading series of books together.

 

[Daggedawg]

Currently reading The Clockwork Bird Chronicles (Or whatever it's called in English) by Murakami Haruki. About halfway through the third and final book now, and I find it very exciting.

Also really glad to see so many people reading Terry Pratchett. Wonderful writer. Shame about the Alzheimer's.

 

[Belaam]

In the last week or so, I just finished Snuff by Terry Pratchett; Volume 1 of the Absolute Sandman by Neil Gaiman; Geek Dad:Awesomely Geeky Projects and Activities for Dads and Kids to Share; and The Panic Virus by Seth Mnookin.

I am working on The Natural History of Make Believe; Free-Range Kids; and re-reading A Wizard of Earthsea as I plan on teaching it to my Advanced 7th Grade English class next week.

(I tend to have a nightstand book, a bathroom book, and a classroom book going at the same time)

The most recent would be Fate/Zero. The book itself may be old, but it is a great read nonetheless,especially if you're just coming off of Fate/Stay Night.

That aside, been reading some of the older classics I never got around to reading before such as Ringworld series,

Or re-reading others: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes(including the novels),The Twilight series,The Harry Potter Series,The Lord of The Rings trilogy.

Could you guys please recommend me any book(s) worth reading?

 

[Bealzibob]

I started today reading Jack The Bodiless the first of the Milieu trilogy. But I currently have a stackof sci-fi that it is atop of as i've been reading a little into each to figure out what I wanted to read.

 

[Miyam2]

Currently re-reading the Tale of Three Worlds series by Ian Irvine.

Still holds out as my favorite series.

 

[Hunter15]

i'm reading Bioshock: Rapture
and before you say that's a game
it's a prequel to the game Bioshock its really good too

Have you read Atlas Shrugged? Give it a try

yeah I've heard of it
i might give it a shot after I'm done this one thanks

 

[Jack Rascal]

Just done The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson and The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss (I want the third book and I want it NOW)

Currently reading The Last Four Things by Paul Hoffman (this book is killing me...)

Next lined up, as my rewards for reading the book above, Elantris, Warbreaker, The Way of Kings parts one and two. Got a little hooked on Brandon Sanderson there...

 

[GeneWard]

I'm reading The first men in The Moon by H.G. Wells, and Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons. I'm actually enjoying the latter more, because of how much the physics student in me screams for Herbert's blood every five minutes while I'm reading the former.
