Just finished the Legacy of the Force serie.

Gosh, that was a punch in my stomach.

now I'm starting Salem's Lot, by Stephen King

SWMAN · September 15, 2008

I am reading A Tale of Two Cities, and hope to start War and Peace soon.

The Neutronium Alchemist by Peter F. Hamilton, the second part of a 3750 pages trilogy that started with The Reality Dysfunction.

This really is the most awesome Sci-Fi Epic I've ever read, even though these three books (called the Night's Dawn Trilogy, by the way) are the thickest I have, I recommend them to everyone, they're really worth your time! The way Hamilton thought out every detail of his intricate future fantasy universe is amazing and all three of these books are absolutely action packed.

Eric Nylund "Ghosts of Onyx" and Neil Gaiman's "American Gods". It took me so much time to get all Halo books from UK (no Halo in Russia, shame) that I'm reading and re-reading them all the time.

I'm reading To Kill A Mockingbird, for English study. I'm only on Chapter 8 at the moment but it's a really great and interesting book! :thumbup: All of the characters are intruiging, especially the hidden Boo Radley...

Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons. My favourite Sci-Fi author out there.

Not only yours))

I'm fond of his books, already read all four Hyperion/Endymio books, Ilium/Olympus and The Terror.

If only his books weren't so BIG...

The Glass Books of the Dream Eaters by GW Dahlquist. An eccentric, elaborate and wonderfully crafted steampunk novel full of mystery, suspense, drama and fantasy. Oh and it's quite erotic, but that is not its primary purpose!

I'm loving it!

I'm a great fan of Hamilton. In the last few months I've reread all three books in the Trilogy and have also read 'Pandora's Star' and 'Judas Unchained' by the same author, in what's called the commonwealth saga. He's following those up with a new trilogy. The first part of that is called 'The Dreaming Void'. That appeared last year and I've already read it twice. The second part will be available in early October and I've got it pre-ordered via amazon.

His books are massive, but they are also hugely entertaining. If you like Hamilton, I can also recommend Charles Stross. He does space opera too. The two books of his that I've read (he has written more) are 'Singularity Sky' and 'Iron Sunrise'. They are great.

I'm currently reading 'The call of the weird' by Louis Theroux. It's very funny.

Cheers,

Ralph

Thanks for the heads up Ralph, I'll have to look into Charles Stross, I haven't heard of him before.

I've read Hyperion, Ilium/Olympos, The Terror and Song of Kali so far.

Song of Kali isn't big (just 300 pages).

I know, but for some reason can't find it in any bookstore. I keep searching)

Now working on 'Richelieu's Army War, Government and Society in France, 1624–1642' - term must be about to start if I'm not reading fiction.

That sounds like an interesting read.

I'm reading To Kill A Mockingbird, for English study. I'm only on Chapter 8 at the moment but it's a really great and interesting book! All of the characters are intruiging, especially the hidden Boo Radley...
:skull:

Your lucky, they gave you a good book to read. Well at the moment I'm reading 'Run for the sun' by Barry sadler :thumbup: , 'Red storm rising' by tom clancy and I'm going to order those DooM books from amazon.

Yeah, I've studied lots of books in my education, only abour a couple have been really boring, but To Kill A Mockingbird is definitely my favourite to read and study. We still have a lot more to go on it, only on Chapter 9, and I have to write all about Boo Radley and Atticus Finch at some point... Again.

Also I am reading Dragon Ball Z, one of my favourite book series' (even though it's a comic). I'm reading from the English translated books, on the 11th now I think. It's very exciting - Goku has just become a Super Saiyan and everyone is confused. :tongue: As well as Dragon Ball Z, I am reading the original Dragon Ball books again, because I last read them years ago, heheh.

Just finished Salem's Lot... Pretty disappointed, again... I don't know why but every time I read a book by Stephen King I end up disappointed... Except maybe for his Dark Tower serie... I think I'll go on with that one and leave the rest... I just need to find the next ones somewhere...

In the mean time, I'm re reading Dracula, by Bram Stoker... A true classic, that one.

**captaintau** · October 19, 2008

Kodokan Judo by Professor Jigoro Kano

Order 66 (a clone wars novel) by Karen Travis

Just finished Crime and Punishment, by by Fyodor Dostoevsky (loved it... is f**** insane). Starting Nausea by Sartre tomorrow... Swear I'm a happy man!!!! I also have Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 on my bed side table, waiting for re-reading. A REALLY great book... I recommend it.
