I'm reading...

The White Plague by Frank Herbert (author of Dune)...

... or I *would* be, if I didn't forget it and leave it at work all the damn time. :/

So right *now*, I'm re-reading The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis (author of the Chronicles of Narnia). :3

I have read The Thief, was a really great story.

The Harry Potter movies fail epicly when it comes to the books. They only manage to get very basic storyline. Which is sad considering the main plot is not the only part that makes up Harry Potter. I mean, who couldnt forget S.P.E.W. ? Or think thats the acronym! You miss all the fun that the Harry Potter universe has to offer if you only watch the movies. So if you only watch the movies, shame on you! I suggest you pick up the first book and start reading


Well I just finished Fresh Kills and have just started reading The Black Hole.

Primarily I am reading a whole lot of textbooks for university. Also, everyday I am reading through the English Standard Version translation of the Bible.

In my spare time I am dipping into The Thoughts and Minor Works of Pascal, as well as reading through the end of the ラブひな (Love Hina) manga series.

I had forgotten what the Twilight series can do to a person. Frightful sight, it is.

George R.R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. It's fantastic, and massive. I flew through a hundred-and something pages today, out of a whopping 800. In the first book of a four-part series. Oh em gee could it get any bigger ;_;

I've just started reading Dreamcatcher by Stephen King.

Page 11 probably isn't the best time to give an opinion of a book, so I'll read a little bit more before I let everybody know how I'm finding it.

Hmm, I think I've threatened to start a book group on ZU about five times. Maybe I'll take the initiative one day and try to start one. :/

Try 1000+ for the 2nd and 1100+ for the third. It's daunting, but worry not though, the quality of the writing and storytelling just gets better and better as you move through. Just prepare yourself emotionally, you're in for some tough times.

Currently rereading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. One of my favourite stories ever.

Not reading anything at the moment, but I have read The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks for an English assignment. It was the only good book in the library out of a horrible selection they had to offer, and I don;t regret ever reading this book. It's very good.

I'm planning to read Winter's Heart by Robert Jordan, but it's the ninth and last book in a series. I don't want to read it unless I've read the first.

I have only watch the first movie, and so far, it's not that appealing to me. I may be ignorant, but those types of fantasy aren't in my taste for stories. I bet this'll make me an outcast of some sort in the future, but it's my opinion and I stand by it.

Yeah, it definitely is a fantastic book. I'm not in any trouble of losing interest, but it's just so big!

So far I've just rejoiced as evil characters got their due punishments ^^;
