Yeah that book was amazing! I’m so glad that there’s a fourth one coming
Currently rereading A Game of Thrones by George RR Martin. Just refreshing my memory for when book 5 comes out!
Aristotle’s Rhetoric.
Margery Wilson’s Pocketbook of Etiquette.
Ch. S Peirce’s Collected Papers.
Try to figure out the trend.

Brandon Sanderson Elantris < ---- finished
“Mistborn” book one
(and the books i posted before … i read many books alongside each other )
I am once again reading the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy.
EDIT: GAH!!! this post gave me my 4th star!
For Uni
A Streetcar Named Desire
Homer’s Odyssey
Akhenaten
(As well as numerous readings gah!)
For Pleasure
The Dice Man
Watchmen
The Bible
The Watchmen is a terrific graphic novel. Probably one of my most favourite pieces of writing ever.
Anyway, I’m reading The Forever War right now, which is pretty interesting. It deals with a soldier in the future that, due to how long distance space travel is done, comes back to civilization every several centuries, even though it seems to him to be only a few years. Raises some interesting questions and whatnot.
A Separate Reality by Carlos Castenada
Alice in wonderland
1984 by george orwell
blink by malcolm gladwell

bram stoker’s dracula
i like to read many books at a time…don’t ask me why
Just finished the Waylander trilogy by David Gemmell. Excellent books. Very deep, very moving, very intense.
Right now though I’m in The Chosen by Chaim Potok. Pretty descent so far.
Hey, I finished reading it for the first time some months ago! high fives
I started Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, but I mysteriously stalled around 100 pages into it. Oh well!
Just started Autobiography of a Yogi.
I’ve been reading The Dresden Files by Jim butcher very good books, at the moment 10 are published, I’ve read 7 or 8 of them I think, it starts good and then it gets better.
I’m reading…
drum roll
Nightmares and Dreamscapes-Stephen King
Because horror is awesome.
It’s a series of short stories fyi.
I am now about to begin J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Silmarillion. Have any of you ever read it before? Is it good in your opinion? It is like the super-prequel to The Hobbit/LotR.
The books I’m reading right now are:
The Secret Life of Bees… I started reading it two years ago for school and I thought I might as well finish it. It’s a good book
Felidae by Akif Pirincci. Took me forever to find this book in English. Had to buy it used on amazon. It’s a great book, but I’m a bit slow reading it cus I disappointed myself when I realized I couldn’t read it in the original language, which is German… I don’t really speak a word German.
Psychology of Love by Freud… because… it impresses people…
Nah, I find it really interesting.
Silmarillion is good, but quite different from LotR…
Right now I’m reading Toll the Hounds by Steven Erikson.
(Also The Zombie Survival Guide, SAS Survival Guide, Food for Free and Disaster Survivial…not at all on a survivalist reading rampage…)
So i really enjoyed Lullaby, ld4all, but Invisible Monsters is just a bit too much transgressionalism for me!
all the random sex and drugs, just for the sake of sex and drugs, it makes my head hurt sometimes
Yes, I have just noticed this. It is a very hard read. Basically, it seems to just spit the history of middle earth at you. A good read of you are a “nerd” for the series. It has been giving me so much more information. It shows the elves back when they were still as simple as humans, but it has no real storyline. Not very much entertaining, but very much informing and revealing.
I tried to read Silmarillion a couple of years back, but in Norwegian. I realized it wasn’t as good translated, but I wouldn’t be able to read it English.
So I haven’t tried again. Maybe one day. I have so many books to read now so will have to be later.
I just finished this excellent book by Matthew Stover. It was the most intense experience I’ve ever had. It left me shaking afterward. All I could do for half an hour was walk back and forth, having to lean on things just to stand up.
Let me put it this way: the events give Mace Windu nightmares.
Definitely a must read. Get it now.
