That's one of my favourite books ever written, although I can't really explain why without giving away crucial plot spoilers. But yeah.

And I really do need to read the Covenant books one of these days.

I got sucked back into Discworld, so now I'm reading Pratchett's The Last Continent. Events involving Rincewind are always lulzworthy.

I just finished "The Harsh Cry of the Heron" by Lian Hearn. It was the 4th book in a series about tales of the Otori, fictional events in a Japanese culture about ninjas, samuri, lords, war and love. Since I'm done with that I'm now reading "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis, very thought provoking.

Well I guess Manga is still a book, so I just finished "Vampire Knight vol 1" by Matsuri Hino, -- "God Child vol 3" by Kaori Yuki. and -- "MeruPuri Vol 1" and "Tsubasa Vol 1 + 2" by Clamp!!!!! lol all very good mangas!!! and the latest chapter book i read was "The lord of the flies" ugh we had it as a novel study before school went out for spring break...

Larsa · 03-21-2007, 10:15 PM

I just started Shindler's list again. Sad book.

Dionysus_PSI · 03-24-2007, 11:46 PM

I FINALLY am onto "Blood of the Fold", I've had a lot of things to keep me from reading so it took me a while to get through "Stone of Tears".

Tyler · 04-11-2007, 01:50 PM

I'm reading a book called Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. It should be an interesting read since I'm about to enter this culinary field, and this is sort of like a heads up for me or something. But I won't have much time to read it because I have to complete The Never Ending Story (aka Professional Cooking for Canadian Chefs) first.

Manadraken · 04-12-2007, 03:05 PM

Current Read: Judge and Jury by James Patterson and Andrew Gross. So far it's very interesting - I'm about 200 pages into it.

Jak · 04-12-2007, 03:45 PM

I'm reading a Doctor Who book, The Price of Paradice.

Scrutator · 04-12-2007, 04:21 PM

Life, The Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams.

Aibbie · 04-12-2007, 07:04 PM

I've recently started on the Vampire Chronicles thanks to a recommendation from a friends, just finished The Vampire Lestat.

Probably gonna start reading Kushiel's Dart, another book shoved on me by friends.

Daryl Falchion · 04-17-2007, 05:18 PM

Raiser of Gales. Vampire Hunter D. By some guy I can't remember the name of. Lovely book so far, if not quite on par with the others in the series.

Dragonfleye · 04-17-2007, 05:40 PM

Vampirates: Tide of Terror by Justin Somper.
The first book was really really good, so I decided to give the sequel a try. However, I've been *cough*slightly*cough* distracted by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Luna Lovegood · 04-17-2007, 07:16 PM

Tom Clancys: Rainbow Six

I just started reading it again because it's so great. Definitely my favourite book of all time. Equalled only by the Godfather.

Sam · 04-17-2007, 07:19 PM

Stephen King: Insomnia

A chilling tale of... well... old people and their sleeping habits.

And what becomes of them.

Reminds me that I never finished that book, stopped on page 300-something, got tired of carrying such a big book around with me.

Kakyoin · 04-20-2007, 10:09 PM

Nearly finished reading Ex Machina : March To War by Brian K Vaughan aswell.

Daryl Falchion · 04-20-2007, 10:47 PM

Also reading Exiles in the Dragonlance series. A good book so far. I enjoyed the first in the trilogy, Scantuary and while it's not yet reached the peek of tha truly excellent story it's getting there.

Honest Abel · 04-20-2007, 10:51 PM

I'm reading Angels in America. It's two plays about a bunch of fags with AIDS.

I have a lot of things I want to read over the summer, though. Anyone want to know what I intend to read?

Beeble · 04-25-2007, 04:17 PM

Right now i'm reading the first book in His Dark Materials. So far pretty good, and i havn't read all that much yet so i hope it will get even better.
