mega thread What book are you reading?

[Dreambiscuit 8,022]

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 1,983]

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.

Cryptozoic by Brian Aldiss (reread)

 

[Hierok 11,829]

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.

 

[Dan. 1,825]

If comic books count..i'm reading through the X-Men storylines til it splits into Blue/Gold and the Inhumans stuff.

[StormBlaze 991]

got given The Book of Dust - Phillip Pullman, one of my all time fave authors, so I will be reading that very soon.

[They call me Loyalty 1,941]

Cosmos by carl sagan.

[bronie4lyphe 11]

The Life of Pi by Yann Martel

[King of Canterlot 9,588]

Superior Saturday by Garth Nix, the sixth book in the Keys to the Kingdom series. 

[KatonRyu 1,026]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, for about the twentieth time. It's the best book I've ever read and I keep going back to it time and time again, and I'll keep doing that for years to come. All seven books are great, but DH is by far the best. And don't try to tell me there are 8 books. There aren't. There are only seven in the main series, no more. Nothing about cursed children or anything. Nothing whatsoever.

[Midnight song 21]

Fire in frost. 

Basically a book about a teenaged girl who has psychic powers and can communicate/see dead people and sets out to help the unliving. 

[Prospekt 10,984]

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. It's okay. Imagine the Mafia in a medieval fantasy setting. Weird combination, but it kind of works.

[Wannabrony 11,638]

The second time reading Holes by Louis Sachar

[Tropical Melody 5,078]

 

First bought this in a bookshop when I was student, be about 1973 at a guess. Lent it to a mate, then we left college lost track so I lost the book. Found one again in Booths Books Hay-on-Wye, couple of years ago. This could problee be 4th or 5th time I've read it.

Now onto Jem by Frederik Pohl.

As of late ive been skim reading a few poetry books by lang leav and rupi kaur. great reads though i find rupi's work to be slightly overrated

[King of Canterlot 9,588]

I just finished reading the book Lord Sunday by Garth Nix, it was the last book in The Keys to the Kingdom series, I'm kinda sad now that I finished the whole series, it was a really good one too............

[Oleks 1,983]

Blood of Elves from the Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski. Rereading the saga brings as much joy as reading it for the first time.

[Guest]

Song if Ice and Fire book one- finally gave in.

Rereading Blood Meridian because Cormack McCarthy stories are terrific reads.

Getting into the Black Dagger Brotherhood series. I'm about a third of the way into Dark Lover and so far it's a gripping take on romance.

[Divine plywood 1,232]

I'm re-reading Mihail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita, great novel

[Tinkh_ 239]

I'm very slowly trying to read the Silmarillion. Like, very slowly. I lost interest im reading but I've been thinking about reading more from it soon.

[Concerned Bystander 2,901]

Having been slightly disappointed by the Nexflix adaptation of Altered Carbon, I am now reading the book again.  I have the sequels lined up for after as I haven't read them yet.

[Tricky42 61]

I am currently reading The Witcher. Am halfway through sword of destiny :3

[Tropical Melody 5,078]

Did I mention I'm now on Discworld 15, Men At Arms - pretty good TBH - still waiting to find out what is the thing that was spectacularly stolen from The Guild of Assassins

 

[Caligula 87]

Since my last message I've read 5 books: 

- "SQPR" by Mary Beard 

-"Salonica City of Ghosts: Christians, Muslims and Jews" by Mark Mazower ('biography' of the macedonian city and its jewish, turkish and greek population)

-"Shah of Shahs" by Ryszard Kapuściński  (which was a reportage, not a history book, but it was very precious and interesting anyway, especially as knowledge about Iran and Islamic Revolution isn't too common)

-"The Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England" by Dan Jones

-"The Norman Conquest" by Marc Morris (damn, those Normans were surely brutal, but their kingdom are so fascinating! I wish I could find something more about Norman kingdom of Sicily).  

Next in line - "The birth of civilization on the British Isles" by Wojciech Lipoński. I'm not sure, though, if the last one was published in the west, but if it was, then I surely recommend it - I didn't have so much fun with a history book since Joshua Prawer.
