Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett. Drunk witches, garlic loving vampires, angry smurf aliens and multiple personality disorder. And I’ve only read 20% of the book so far.

Hamlet! I'm actually enjoying it because so many things make references to it.

currently I`m reading Redshirts. A good read for any Star Trek fans

[Tropical Melody 6,031]

Just started Discworld #14, "Lords And Ladies". Also a couple of old SF paperbacks.

Also just started using Kindle, I bought 4 old SF stories as 'reprints' altho as Kindle books, not paper! Hence the need to get into Kindle.

Google for Hannibal Fortune agent of TERRA" bonkers but good fun.

Leviathan from Scott Westerfeld. It's a scifi/steampunk novel set in an alternative version of Europe during WWI.

[Caligula 87]

Instead of "SPQR" I bought "The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt", written by Toby Wilkinson. To be honest, I'm rather dissapointed - while it was a good description of the long Egyptian history, I have a feeling that author didn't describe too many details. I hope  to get another book about ancient Egypt soon, and "SPQR" is already bought - but I'll receive it as a christmas gift, so at the moment I'm book-less... except "History of central-asian nations", but reading about  history of Asia according to marxism-leninism is too much even for me.

I just finished reading Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea for my Mexican American Studies class.

Also read Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare on my own time.  I'm a dork like that.

I'm about to start reading Volume 9 of the Sword Art Online light novels, because I can't wait any longer for the anime to start back up again. This volume is the beginning of a long story arc that will be the source material for the upcoming season.

[burlynide 16]

Just finished The Origin by Dan Brown.

[Oleks 1,993]

A Brief History Of Time By Stephen Hawking. It's quite interesting, although some data is (unsurprisingly) outdated. So I back it up with some lectures by Lawrence Krauss and Neil Tyson.

[GuerrierCosmique 146]

Illustrierte Griechische Mythologie-Enzyklopädie by Guus Houtzinger

Yoko Tsuno: Le trio de l'entrage by Roger Leloup

47 Ronin by Stan Sakai

 

[Rainy_days 283]

Since I forgot to take with me War factory by Neal Asher with me to where I stay for Christmas, I brought along another book by the same author, same universe.

This is book 5 of the Agent Cormac series. So if anyone here want's to try out his books, go for Gridlinked which is the first.

I am 60 pages into this book and all I can say are that it's awesome.

Goosebumps: A Shocker On Shock Street 

[Caligula 87]

While waiting for the "SQPR" and "Salonica, City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims and Jews", I bought Gerard Russel's "Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms". It's a fascinating book, written by a british diplomat, about the current state of the ancient religions in the Near East - zoroastrians, mandeans, Kalash people... if anyone is interested in history, and wants to know more about religions that were persecuted so mercilessly by ISIS - i.e. Yazidis - then he/she should buy this book.

What I'm reading:

A Gathering of Crows

Wolf's Blood

The Tiger's Daughter

When God was a Woman

[Dreambiscuit 9,576]

I'm reading the novelization of 'Your Name' by Makoto Shinkai. It takes the greatness of the movie and adds a little deeper insight to the characters. 

[Oleks 1,993]

I'm currently rereading the Witcher book series - in proper chronological order this time. I've finished The Last Wish and am in the middle of Season of Storms right now. 

I've also started an audiobook The Ancestors Tale by Richard Dawkins.

[Tropical Melody 6,031]

Cryptozoic by Brian Aldiss (reread)

 

[Hierok 11,831]

The complete Lord of the Rings. I've just read the part where they came into Lothlorien.  I love the songs in these books, like this one.
