Comparative psychology in the twentieth century.
Communist Manifesto (I finally get to finish it, my old copy was confiscated by one of my teachers.)
Aside from that my read-list is remarkably thin, only a few reports here and there along with whatever interestiong points a doctor-friend of mine sends me. I hate reading when I try writing a new book.

Well to be honest, the flow of thought is a really popular method that shoves the opinions of characters down your throat, but lets you decide, by yourself or by observing their actions objectivly, do you believe it or not. So even with the obvious branches and stuff it can be done nicely.Fiz_The_Toaster said:
Exactly, most men that started something in every aspect of human creativity, was a tradition breaker, be it from Marx to Hitler, or Giordano Bruno to Camus, E.A. Poe to Jules Verne, they all started something new. And there's a ton more waiting to be found.
Oh, certainly. I agree on all three points. I just meant that I always feel a little silly recommending The Overcoat to anyone expressing an interest in Russian realism, since they've probably had it recommended to them a thousand times before me. I'm just content to be the 1001st.Jerej said:
(In fact, in scrolling back through the posts, I see you recommended it a few posts before me. I'm always slow on the draw on this sort of thing.)
You know, my favorite is still Dead Souls (or however you'd translate "Myortvyje Dushi.") There's just something about Chichikov traveling around, buying up the corpses of dead serfs that cracks me up every time. It's like the longest, best-written dead baby joke in the history of literature.Jerej said:
Project 17 by Laurie Faria Stolarz.
The story of it has something to do with a few kids getting stuck in an old abandoned insane asylum, as far as I can tell.

A little something with Necrenomicon on the front big bold and golden. It's a compilation of a lot of different Lovecraft stories. Technically I'm a little over half way through "At The Mountains of Madness".
I've had a quick glance over Death Troopers, not realy enough to discern anything other than it was a Star Wars horror, would you recomend it, though, is the big question?TheLazyKnight said:
Right now I'm at the last chapter of the Mists of Avalon by Marion Bradley. I would highly recomend this to anyone interested in the legend of Arthur or just looking for a nice fantasy style book, as it is a wonderful re-imagining with very in-depth and humanised characters.
Right now I'm reading the stories by H.P. Lovecraft, which is probably why I reference it in everything. I also read Sherlock Holmes, which I will do much more when I'm done with the cosmic entities of pure terror in an alternate plane of existence. Although, I don't think I'm taking the fun little plush Cthulhu off the top of my monitor any time soon. He makes it look awesome.
Understand that, there probably isn't a live person on the planet that's friends with a book reader that didn't get that recommended.Brendan Main said:
And have to agree on that, the man is something you'd expect in a japanese cartoon (over the top lecherous bastard) but it works so damn fine.
Right now I'm reading Astro Boy vol.1 & 2 (or Mighty Atom depending o how much of a ponce you are).
My Developmental Psychology textbook.....what? It counts. I find it to be entertaining. Of course, I am a big nerd.
Im reading "The Heroes" from Joe Abercrombie. This guy totally rocks with his fantasy books 
i highly recommend that you guys read his First law Trilogy! it wont dissapoint you )

I am currently reading Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. The book I got has Heart of Darkness and three more stories of his. So far Heart of Darkness is a pretty good book.

Nice. Dune is one of my favorite books of all time, I hope you enjoy it.StoneCutter said:
It depends on which room I'm in. In one bathroom I'm just about done with Mogworld (will probably finish today or tomorrow). In the other I'm about a quarter of the way through a second reading of Crown of Shadows by CS Freedman. If I'm in any other room of the house I'm usually reading an eBook - right now it's Bob Moore: No Hero by Tom Andry. Next up is probably a re-read of a few HP Lovecraft tales (it's been a while) and I was actually thinking of either A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin or maybe some Heinlein.
