Hello fellow book worms!
I read. I read a lot. Like...a lot a lot. My usual speed is about one book every two weeks (faster if it's a book I'm loving).
We don't get nearly enough threads about reading stuff so...uh....whatcha readin? What kind of a book is it? Is it good so far? How many tasteful nude scenes are in the book (I'm asking...for a friend....yeah.....)?
I've joked a few times about this in a few threads but I have finally decided to give one of the big sci-fi names a chance; I'm reading the Invader Earth series by L Ron Hubbard.
Now Hubbard has his own baggage to his name (main reason I've skipped him for so long) but I am greatly enjoying this book series. I am right now on book #2 and from what I've been told by my Dad (my primary librarian), the series is excellent. I have so far greatly enjoyed the book series; so much that I actually now have #2-10 waiting for me to be read!
The book series is a sci-fi book about a pretty horrible person (well, alien but they're human in appearance) who's mission is to oversee an agent sent to infiltrate Earth to save us from ourselves with all the pollution and destruction and whatnot. However, this person needs to make sure it fails without the agent and their government figure it out but he's kind of bad at it. It's not quite a comedy but it has a lot of humorous moments. I know Hubbard has a bit of a shady reputation now with Scientology and whatnot but I am loving this book so far. The perspective of seeing the story through the eyes of the bad guy alone makes it a lot more interesting than many current day sci-fi novels.
So...whatcha readin?
