I'm jumping back and forth between two books at once. I'm on volume one of the Horus Heresy series in the Warhammer 40k storyline and Skulduggery Pleasant Vol. 2.

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.
Everybody knows it, I've never read it before.
Boy, did I miss something...

I am currently on my second read through of "The master and the margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov. I love that book.

This morning I was also reading a couple of sections on horizontal gene transfer and phylogenetic trees from a book called "Molecular microbiology of the cell" for my molecular microbiology and immunology class. It is a riveting read...

All the Halo books are great, personal favorites are "The Flood" and "Evolutions"
I've always seen the The Flood as the weakest Halo novel, for one the Chief's personality is so disjointed from his other depictions. Still a pretty good book though.

Currently I'm reading Halo: Cryptum by Greg Bear. A really great book if you're well-versed in Halo lore, but still well written and interesting enough to qualify as a good book if you're not.

I am reading The Jungle Book. I never read that one as a kid so I decided no time like the present.

I am re-reading my favorite Garrett stories by Glen Cook. (Sweet Silver Blues, Bitter Gold Hearts, Cold Copper Tears, Old Tin Sorrows, Dread Brass Shadows, Red Iron Nights). I don't really like the later Garrett books, but I re-read the early ones at least once a year.

I just finished The Riyria Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan and they are amazing. They reminded me why I fell in love with fantasy books and I highly recommend them. I started with the second book (Avempartha) and I'm kind of glad I did, the first one, The Crown Conspiracy, was a little slow off the mark. Avempartha was a much tighter story and the writing was better.

Fiction: Eisenhorn by Dan Abnett. Not something I'd normally read, but a friend lent it to me and I'm really enjoying it. I went in knowing nothing of the Warhammer 40k universe; I'm thinking I might look into picking up a few more books (if anyone has any suggestions for other decent 40k books, feel free to let me know).

Non-Fiction: Philosophical Investigations. Again. It really feels like one can never read this book too many times.

A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson

I actually very rarely read but this is a damned interesting book, if you're into science and the likes fully recommended, I've learnt alot from it.

You can't go wrong really with any of Dan Abnett's other book such as Titanicus or the Gaunt's Ghosts series.I'd also recommend Storm of Iron and the Ultramarines series by Graham McNeill and the Space Wolf series by William King and Lee Lightner

Edit:How could I forget the Ciaphas Cain series by Sandy Mitchell.Some of the best 40k books I've read

Currently reading Blood Ravens:The Dawn of War omnibus by CS Goto.It's pretty good so far

Lolita.

Damn, just damn.

That is a book that everyone has to read, even if you find it a struggle about 3/4s of the way through. Absolutly fantastic.
You've peaked my interest, I'm gonna look this one up now...

...might I ask what it's about?

...or is it pretty obvious from the title...
It is about a man named Humbert Humbert who is attracted to, and obsessing over a 12 year old girl named Lolita. It chronicles Humbert's life as he attempts to woo her. Thats all I am going to say.

Its written beautifully as it combines the horrid nature of Humbert's fixation with Lolita with such amazing language.
Umm... I just realized, I have no idea who it's by... There's a surprising amount of books called Lolita...

I just started that one... I haven't gotten far enough into it yet to get a figure on if it's good or not... I'll definitely stick with it now though!

For School: To Kill a Mocking Bird
For Recreational Reading: Beyond the Shadows
I highly recommend that second book, actually i recommend the whole series. Seeing as how that book is the third book in a trilogy.
