Your current book...

[MR.Spartacus]

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?

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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.

My Developmental Psychology textbook.....what? It counts. I find it to be entertaining. Of course, I am a big nerd.

The moon is a harsh mistress by Robert Heinlein, not a bad book but not his best IMO

The idiot, by dostoevsky

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.

War and Peace. I'm about half way, started it last week.

You're a braver man than I am.

Just about to start Dune. Heard it's really good, but it sucks I have a deadline to finish it.

Nice. Dune is one of my favorite books of all time, I hope you enjoy it.

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.

I read that a long while ago but I can't remember liking it that much. I might have to give it a second chance.

"Dude, YOu're a Fag"

For a college class.

And in my freetime: Niccolo Machiavelli's THe Prince

 

[DanielDeFig]

Richard Dawkin's The God Delusion.

I highly recommend it to anyone, irrelevant of your religious beliefs (or lack thereof). It is intelligent, well written, and humorous.

Fair warning though: English is not my first language, but i now have better mastery of English than Swedish. Despite this, i came across a few words that i did not recognize, nor could really determine what they meant through context. I was on vacation when i started to read, now that i'm back i have a dictionary at hand. Richard Dawkins is a high-level professor and evolutionary biologist, he enjoys using English words of complex meaning (which means they remain relatively unknown to those of us who enjoy keeping our linguistic communications on a simpler level).

I finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman about a week ago. It's fantastic. I definitely recommend it.

3 mangas as of right now:
The World God Only Knows(Being translated by the community)

Super-Dreadnought Girl 4946(Not currently being translated by anyone I think)


All 3 very good.

I'm switching up between Hyper; a gaming magazine published in Australia and Genius Wars; a book from Catherine Jinks about well... Geniuses at war with each other. Trust me, it's better than it sounds.

Scott Pilgrim, for like the millionth time.

Zero History by William Gibson.

On a related note, I am reading it on my iPod so it is my very first paperless-book.
