Hooray for Dresden~
The next book comes out in paperback in a couple weeks, so I'm looking forward to that.

As for what I'm currently reading: still working on Crown of Swords.

I'm reading The Bastiat Collection by Frederic Bastiat. Some wonderful thoughts in this book.

We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far and no further!

American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I've had it recommended to me half a hundred times, so I figured I might as well. Liking it so far.

I just finished Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, a fantastic novel. I don't know why I allow myself to continue to be surprised at how much better science fiction is in writing when compared to in movies or in video games.

 

I highly recommend this book to all bodies.

The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you'll be dead.

 I don't know why I allow myself to continue to be surprised at how much better science fiction is in writing when compared to in movies or in video games.

 

I've never read any sci-fi myself (big fan of fantasy) because I wouldn't know if the translation from English to dutch would be worthy enough enough to read. I could read a sci-fi book in English but I don't know if I would understand all of the words ( don't have such a big vocabulary, or however you call it). Knowing that, it keeps me from reading English literature.

 

Back on topic. I'm currently reading: The Third Kingdom by Terry Goodkind, just started but already exciting =)

It's in a fantasy setting.. like D&D, magic, elves, dragons..no hockey

 

 

I think this is my favorite comic ever already.

Just finished the Claymore manga. I got the next-to-last volume, and I couldn't just stop with that, so I found the rest of the chapters online. There were some surprisingly silly moments mixed into the super serious stuff.

I actually just finished Ender's Game and I really enjoyed it. Some parts had me at ehhhhh with the whole Valentine and Peter trying to get power via articles but otherwise it was great and felt more like a thriller on pages to me.

Is Stars the only one reading anything here?

I picked up a copy of "The Woman in White" because it was the favorite book of someone I try not to think about.

 

Thankfully, the opening number of "Phantom of the Opera" (and just the opening number, not that sappy love song in the middle) cures all.
 

Also, does Seuss count? I finally read "Oh the Places You'll Go" because I had never read it.

You guys might be the only one reading. For some reason books haven't been doing it for me this year, which actually makes me kind of sad. I just haven't been pulled in at all for some reason.
