I read David Gemmel's "Legend", it was pretty linear, rather cliché but there were some things I liked about it. Apparently there are 13 more books in the series though...

And I finished Trudi Canavan's series about the "age of the five" (priestess of the white", "last of the wilds" and "voice of the gods") a pretty interesting tale.

Beside fiction - nope. No need, why read about things happening around me when I can experience them?

Sorry, Archie, you can't out-morbid me. I've read a ton about serial killers. The crimelibrary/trueTV site is the best.
It's not a competition. But it's nice to know that we can be morbid buddies.

Also, Cerby, if you start eating people, let me know.

You aren't a sci-fi fan then.
Sci-fi is my favorite genre in any type of media thing. Dune to me just sucks. I like Robert Heinlen more than Frank Herbert.

I don't read very much, but I recently found a couple of old Borders gift cards from a few Christmases ago that I never used. One has 50 bucks on it, and I don't know how much the other one has because I lost the damn thing, which is odd because I kept the two of them together, so how exactly did I lose only one of them?

Once I find the missing gift card I'll go to Borders and wing it from there.

Dune is okay sci fi, but it's just too long for the small amount of stuff that actually happens.

Now the Asimov Foundation series, that's good sci-fi. And I recently read his Robot series as well. And I even more recently realized that he connected the two books together in the plotline so that's is one, big, long series. Mind = blown.

I've got myself 7 books of the Diskworld series.

Currently searching for more, because I finished reading them in 10 days.

Reminded me that I'm reading Rushdie's Satanic Verses.

... and if I need to be reminded about a book I'm supposedly "reading," well, f*ck.



I'm doing an English course at university so I'm reading a bunch of other stuff too hahaha no I'm absolutely not.

There's a few books that I'm interested in reading in now, because my awesome new World Lit teacher talked briefly about them.
The one that really caught my interest, however, is called "Black Like Me", a diary of a white man who died his skin black and went to live in the deep south for a bit, just to see what it was like (in the 50s). Sounded fascinating.

I'm also about to finish The Sorceress (only have about 90 pages left, it'll take me an hour), which is out of a series I recommend for those interested in Mythology. The series is The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel, and it has some fascinating stuff in it, despite falling into a couple common errors (just 'cause it sounded cool, slightly meandering plot, one pretty sizable plothole, etc.) It is a fun read, nonetheless.

I also picked up a Garth Nix book at the schools library which makes me sad because it has like 18 half stocked shelves of fiction (I don't think they even carry the entire Twilight saga, which is a sign that your high school library really needs some more funding). Haven't gotten to read it yet, but I like Garth Nix.

Currently readin Small Gods, by Terry Pratchett, and I got to say I love the character of Vorbis. I love the character, not vorbis. I hate Vorbis. But since he was supposed to be the villain, that's actually an acomplishment, since I rarely hate villains.

Before that, I read Witches Abroad, by Terry Pratchett, Jingo!, by Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay, by Terry Pratchett, Lord and Ladies, by Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum, by Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men, by Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times, by Terry Pratchett, The Truth, by Terry Pratchett, Maskerade, by Terry Pratchett, The Lost Continent, by Terry Pratchett, Soul Music, by Terry Pratchett, Night Watch, by Terry Pratchett, The Dark Side of the Sun, by Terry Pratchett, and The Communist Okra, by Carlos Eduardo Novaes.

I found a bunch of Pratchett books on my trip to Argentina. Ironically, no library of them had it, but I found them all in an anime figurine shop.

 Aside the Dark Side of the Sun, which I found on the airport's library.
