mega thread What book are you reading?

I presume everyone knows what the fish in the ear reference is from?

 

[Stormy Seas 17]

I have no idea what that reference is from. Please educate me while I unwittingly get further engrossed in the "A Vision of Shadows" arc from the Warriors series.

[Tropical Melody 6,031]

Might be a complete coincidence but to me it says 'Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy', re, Babel fish...

 

[King of Canterlot 9,603]

Currently reading the American classic, The Great Gatsby 

[Lunar Glow 676]

Currently rereading Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell...as a person who usually hates romantic novels, this is surprisingly one of my favorite books!  I strongly recommend it to everyone, because it’s not just another sappy love story. 

[CoconutCake 360]

Currently reading Dean Koontz’s “Velocity” and some of Stephen King’s short stories on the side!

I’m not too much of a reader so, it takes me awhile to read an entire novel, hehe 

[Oleks 1,993]

I finally started The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by S. King. I love his short stories.

The hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I like the story, but a few things ticked me off so far, but I best keep going with this book

[TheOpticsDuck 189]

I am currently reading the The 4-hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss.

The book has some nice ideas in it. I will start taking notes. 

[Nature Tune 8,392]

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

[Twilight Luna 31,339]

Currently reading Watership Down.

The original version of "The Count of Monte Cristo."

I'm into classics.

Just read FNAF the fourth closet.... It was a disappointment.

[Brony Number 42 10,069]

Just finished Operation Paperclip. Now I started the GI Joe comics collection from IDW.

"Lyon's Pride" by Anne McCaffrey. It's the second to last  book in her "Talents" series. Talents are people with such extraordinary mental abilities, that when merged in groups, they're capable of teleporting whole spacecraft light-years away in the blink of an eye. Sort of reminds me of how it used to take multiple Unicorns to raise the sun, before Celestia became able to do it herself.

 

Anne McCaffrey is one of my all time favorite authors.

 

(Auto correct wants to change McCaffrey to McCartney!)

[Twilight Luna 31,339]

The Foundation Trilogy. Just some light reading.

[Oleks 1,993]

I'm currently finishing Gwendy's Button Box by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar.

Then I'm planning to begin The Chronicles of Narnia - something I completely missed as a kid. I hope it's not to late to start now, when I'm in my twenties. Although I don't know in which order I should read the books.

[Dan. 1,825]

If comic books count then i'm reading through the new Infinity Wars arc.

[Tao 7,526]

I guess manga mostly,   its kinda hard for me to read a book with a lot of things on my mind:

 

Witch Buster 

[Guest]

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem.

[Shadowfax 68]

"The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian"; the first book in a series which collects all of the Conan stories, but ordered in when they were written, and not when they were published.

It's been a fantastic read so far!  From the immense creativity of the locations, settings, and situations, to Robert E. Howard's efficient writing style - writing in such a way where he only needs a paragraph to describe what most modern authors would unnecessarily use pages to describe - The Conan series truly deserves it's spot as one of the great fantasy series.

I read this book just a few months ago.  I wont say much, but I found it immensely disappointing after the first third.

[Dashy 4 Ever 4,835]

The original version of "The count of Monte Cristo." A good classic. I recommend it for everyone!
