Wizard's First Rule. It is the first book in the Sword of Truth series that the TV show Legend of the Seeker is based off of.

 

[Blanks]

The first of the Night Angel Trilogy: The Way of the Shadows, it's about assassin's ^-^, and The Lord Of The Rings

I'm also reading alot of Manga: Future Diary, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Lucky Star each varying in volume

In comics I'm reading Looking For Group Vol. 2

Regardless, Its a Terry Pratchet book with Moist Lipwig, anyone know the title?

Going Postal, or Making Money? I think they were the only two with Moist in. I have them both here somewhere.

I've just finished reading 'John Dies at the End' - David Wong, which was, perhaps, even funnier than the Discworld novels.

I'll be starting either the next book in Brent Weeks' Night Angel trilogy or a Bernard Cornwell historical fiction next, depending on my mood.

The first of the Night Angel Trilogy: The Way of the Shadows,

What a coincidence! I hope you enjoy it, I did very much and about to start the second book.

I'm reading a bunch of books about the nature of Art for a class I'm taking. Really interesting stuff so far. I think people should really spend more time thinking about what art is (since we consume so much of it) instead of just taking it for granted. Currently I'm on 'What is Art' by Leo Tolstoy.

Reading the Mass Effect books to prepare for Mass Effect 2 and the Mass Effect Comics and when I am done with that hopefully I will be lended Stephen King's first Dark Tower book.

 

[ElephantGuts]

I'm pissed off because I was planning on reading the second Mass Effect book over Holiday Break (as I'll also be playing through Mass Effect again in preparation for ME2), but my English teacher decided to give us a book to read over break.

I guess I'll just forgo the books I'm interested and be forced to ignore my interest in reading for the expense of my school. Ironic, huh? Not so much ironic actually as much as stupid. Unintelligent teaching.

I figure out what book I'll be reading tomorrow. It'd better be good.

The dark tower, book 7 (and the last so far) in The Dark Tower series by Stephen king. i love it, I'm almost done too! amazing series.

Hopefully too, i can get my hands on a Mass Effect book... but im in a nowhere town so i might not.

 

[Actual]

Yeah, making money. I was hoping to find some disc-world but no doubt this book will be brilliant.

It is in the Discworld setting, just a new main character. A few of the regular personalities from Ankh-Morpork show up, in particular Vetinari (who is awesome).

 

[S29 Afterlife]

i have just finished "Th1rteen R3asons Why"
amazing book.
i have just opened "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" because after Thirteen Reasons, i need a good laugh instead of going into a depressed state and crying myself to sleep.

History of Latvian literature.

Sounds interesting. Can you summarise any of the books main points for us?

*There is proof of a writing system evolving prior to the german invasion.
*Afterwards, the first latvian books appear in the 16th century, religious in nature.
*First latvian books by latvians are first printed by the end of the 17th.
Last chapter i read was about A. J. Stender.

So tell me Escapist forum community, what books are we reading as of now? Or what books look interesting and you want to get a hold of?


I'm trying to get a hold of Angels & Demons to find out what the frick the Illuminati is. Ifm also looking into the rest of that whole Da Vinci code series thing. Also, reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe for class.

I'm currently reading War of the World by HG Wells (an original copy) and the book based on the Constantine film( I hate the film, I love Hellblazer, and the book is so much more in depth than the film ever was). I picked up Constantine for a dollar and thought I'll give it a chance". Well i can't put it down right now. It's a really enthralling read (even after already seeing the film).

Death or Glory... If you couldn't tell from the titles massive balls its 40k

 

[systhicsfg]

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
It's great.
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction; jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak; a vindictive , bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal , genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
Pure frickin gold.

There's a better book for that, it's called The Illuminatus! Trilogy. It will make absolutely no sense but be compelling enough to continue with reading. It's definitely worth a read.

As of now, I'm reading World War Z again, because I needed a book to read for a school project and that was all I had lying around that I hadn't read in a while. I'm gonna read the Lord of the Rings trilogy next, though.

I'm currently trying to track down the Darren Shan series. I've gotta fill the gap until the next Dresden Files book is released! Besides, I read the premise and it sounds pretty good.

The Road by Cormac McCarthy (almost done)

I'm also reading the Way of the wolf

Same here. Working towards the new books eh?

Oh, okay cool. I haven't read any of the Discworld so I didn't know. Will reading this one ruin its predecessors?

Only one of them, Going Postal, a bit. "How much is 'a bit'" you may ask, enough to read Going Postal first, I reply, since that is where the Main Character first starred as MC.
