mega thread What book are you reading?

At my brother's recommendation, I am finally reading "The Time Ships" by Stephen Baxter. Released in 1995, it's a direct sequel to H.G. Well's "The Time Machine". It was officially authorized by the Wells estate to mark the centenary of  the original printing of the classic novel.

 

It's quite a fascinating read so far! It delves deep into causality, and how traveling through time is changing the very reality around the Time Traveler. As in the original, his name is never given. That is until he meets a younger version of himself, and calls him Moses. (His hated first name that he kept a secret from his adult friends)

Baxter kept the story very true to the feel of the original. One can easily imagine that Wells would have approved of his work.

I'm reading The Wolf Wilder, which I'm really enjoying! I'm almost at the end, and it's reaching its climax. I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends, as it is original with likeable and interesting characters and a lovely setting. :)

At the moment I'm on book two of Lemony Snickets "A Series of Unfortanate Events"

I defiantly recommend it.

I'm also reading "Love Letters To The Dead" but I forgot who wrote it... I'll put it in once I figure it out... But I DEFIENTLY recommend this book. It's very touching and realistic and I can't get enough! I'm actually working on editing a book so I can get it published, but that's not important at the moment. :)

Everypony have a ponyrific day/night!

..Um FanFiciton? Does that count?

I don't read normal books...

OH my Irene you get me! I've read mostly fanfiction for the past three months and finished over 40

Oopsie? Mostly Doctor Who and HarryPotter. Throwing some other junk in there as well, but it's quiet lovely how many scenes you can put the same character in and it always comes out nicely.

Dunno if I've said already: We're currently reading Terry Pratchett's Guards!  Guards!  It has dragons. x )

I am currently reading Mein Kampf, yes you heard me. I am a WWII Freak, and reading the book gives me some understanding of what was in that little head of Adolf Hitler's. But other than that I am reading The Martian and the novel based off of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

I am currently reading Thus Spoke Zarathustra, by Nietzsche(this name is more difficult to write than it seems).

 

In the recent weeks, I went on a personal research of modern philosophy, and now it is the turn for him to go through my eyes. I am looking quite forward for this reading due for how some of his most iconic ideologies (the death of God and the Übermensch) were made popular by this book, and their impact on the future of humanity, specially for the latter.

The Idiot by Fedor Dotoyevsky. I wanted to read more Dotoyevsky books since I finished Crime and Punishment. It's been good so far, but it's taking me a long time to finish it.

I am reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.  I am only on the first book but it's pretty good.  I have not read any Manga in a while but I still have my collection.  Cardcaptor Sakura, Saiyuki, and Fruits Basket are my favorites.

We're currently reading Terry Pratchett's Faust Eric (even the title is a joke xD).  It's been good seeing Rincewind again.

I'm currently reading The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness, a novel based upon the lives of this group of friends who are surrounded by the ordinary heroes vs. villains scenario from their day-to-day lives. It's supposed to be demonstrating that while the heroes are out saving the world from being destroyed, the bystanders who are trying to live normally are just tired with their shit, hence the title The Rest of Us Just Live Here. It's pretty funny.

I've recently started reading Discworld (Terry Pratchett) series and I've been loving it so far! I'll probably finish off the second in the series tonight (The Light Fantastic).

 

I also have The Brothers Karamazov sitting in front of me, but I'm a little apprehensive to get started.

I'm currently reading The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor. I'm enjoying the book so far, but I find it very annoying that it us written in present tense; I just find it tiring and difficult to get through stories told that way.

I'm reading or rereading in some cases Memories, Dreams and Reflections by C.G. Jung, Ethics of Ambiguity by Simone de Beauvoir and Through the Wolf's Eyes by Jane Lindskold.
