[Concerned Bystander 2,902]

Currently reading 'Mockingjay' off the back of the other two, still trying to decide what to move onto after that.

[Prince Golden Lotus 166]

I'm nearly finished with Cinda Chima's "The Warrior Heir".  Gotta say, I absolutely love this woman.

[Crypty Scribbles 3,174]

Focault's Pendulum of Umberto Eco.

 

Really weird book.

[weesh 690]

Count of Monte Cristo.

 

It's a big book but I'm a fast reader, so it shouldn't take me very long anyways.

 

heh, that one took me the better part of a year, because the library would only let me renew it twice, and then i had to wait for them to re-shelve it before I got it again.

really amazing book.

the fact that it was so long meant that I got almost to the end before I realized how much he'd evolved from anger to forgiveness.  

I thought it was going to be an epic revenge saga, and was both surprised and thrilled by how it turned out.

I haven't even finished Insomnia yet, but I still went and accidentally bought a new book to read. The book is called The Light Between Us by Laura Lynne Jackson. It has really helped me to calm down about my fear of death.

I'm reading "Ali's Pretty Little Lies". It's a prequel of Pretty Little Liars. I still can't find the first book though

Last I've finished reading was the Fiendship is Magic compilation. I've moved to the first Pennyroyal Academy afterwards. I'm currently at chapter 7, but I've been stuck since I've been playing videogames and stuff

I don't read much, but due to my recent love of the Sherlock Holmes' movies with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude law, I started reading A Study in Scarlet about a week ago. I love it so far.

Currently picking away at Secondhand Time: The Last of the Soviets by Svetlana Alexievich. It deserved its Nobel Prize.

I've been rereading a lot of old favorites lately. Yesterday I finished up "King David's Spaceship". It's a very exciting tale of intrigue war, and space travel from the point of view of a planet that had no knowledge of space travel until the imperial star ships showed up. Now I'm reading "A Barnstormer in Oz: A Rationalization and Extrapolation of the Split-Level Continuum" (That's the official full title) (1982) by Philip José Farmer. This is one of my all time favorite books. The premise is that the land of Oz is actually a parallel world to Earth. Dorothy's son Hank accidentally flies through a gap with his world war one plane and ends up in Oz.

Yes, Hank is...Dorothy's son!

The Crimson Campaign by Brian McClellan.  It's the second book in his Powder Mage trilogy, a high flintlock fantasy where more conventional magic coexists with magic based around gunpowder and musketry.

[Lisa 5,552]

I'm currently re-reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, my favourite childhood book. Afterwards I'll probably read the sequel Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.

Hoping to finish Nexus by Ramez Naam by the time I go back to uni. Very solid cyberpunk thriller.

 

Always finding time to continue reading the complete works of Lovecraft, though.

[Concerned Bystander 2,902]

Having finished the Hunger Games trilogy I'm now reading 'The stars my destination' by Alfred Bester.  I'll maybe start on the Horus Heresy books next.

[Denim&Venöm 16,830]

Comic books count? Cause I'm reading the Spider-man: Identity Crisis compilation.

[Corgis 574]

I'm reading though "The war Illustrated" volumes II and III right now.  It is a collection of news magazines by the same name put into a hard cover book.  Volumes II and III cover all of 1940 from the British perspective.  It is really cool to see what people thought at the time since the papers came out every week so there are all kinds of crazy speculations on what could happen later in the war.  One article was talking about the possibility of Russia invading India or Germany invading Switzerland.

[The Diver 760]
