[off-topic] Bookworms thread. What are you currently reading? in General Discussion
Hex Sigma

    I got my inspiration from melody's thread about music. There has to be some Bookworms on this site.
    We'll do it like this : post what you read, what you're currently reading and what you plan on reading. I'll go first:

    Last book read: bioshock rapture by John Shirley (genre:dystopia , world building, sci-fi)

    Currently reading: a song of ice and fire by G. R. R. Martin aka game of thrones(genre:fantasy, political strategy)

    Plan on reading : either the starblade trilogy by Joseph Delaney or the last wish(aka the Witcher) by Andrzej Sadowski.

                                    Last thing I read is the Song of Ice and Fire series, now Im reading and re-reading Dan Brown's books, probably only the Roberd Langon books not the other two, I liked those but already read them twice, couse I had those for a long time.

                                    Im reading on my phone in English only nowdays, it slows me a bit though... So whenever I finish these books (have one and a half left I think), I dont know.. probably Eragon or some other fantasy stuff ppl suggested. Im still afraid to read Stephen King though I kinda want to... Oooor idk yet. Will just pick something.

                                    I prefer longer series or at least more books from the same author, so if anyone feels like suggesting something good, pls do.

                                      There's a whole ton of R. A. Salvatore novels that I have to pick up. It's been a while since I read something on paper that wasn't work-related

                                      Fay

                                        Last book read: Sun Tzu - The art of war[English Translation] (genre: Economics, Fiction, Philosophy)

                                        Currently reading: Richard Dawkins - God Delusion (genre: non-fiction)

                                        Plan on reading : Giacomo Casanova - Histoire de ma vie[English Translation] (genre: autobiography) and
                                        dota2 compendium (genre: non-fiction) :laugh:

                                        kanye went to uni

                                          The last books I read were some trashy detective novels by Michael Connelly :p

                                          Heathen

                                            Last Book Read - Red Seas Under Red Skies, by Scott Lynch. Genre: Fantasy. It's part of the Locke Lamora series, which is this excellent sort of fantasy Ocean's Eleven type thing.

                                            Currently Reading - Promise of Blood, by Brian McClellan. Genre: Fantasy. I'm about 100 pages in, and the characters and gunpowder magic system remain fascinating. I'd recommend it.

                                            Planning to read: Skin Game, by Jim Butcher. Genre: Fantasy. I've had this book since the day it came out and I just keep putting it off. I have no idea why; I read the first 50 pages and thought they were amazing...and just stopped. I guess I got distracted by Dota or something.

                                            Hex Sigma

                                              Vaeldiithia try the last apprentice series by joseph delaney. Its a fantasy book set in england revealing the story of a boy that can see ghosts and boggarts. He trains in order to be a spook but the story takes huuuuge twists. Its has 13 books if im not mistaken but they're pretty short(300 pages each) and they're also full of action.

                                              Btw guys you can enter here all kinds of literature and that includes manga and even anime that are based on manga. I decided to make this thread a little more broad in order to keep it alive.

                                              Edit: if any of you guys know a manga/anime like death note(except for code geass) hit me up i'd like to check it out: D

                                                No Game No Life is like a comedic, fanservicey, humanity-fuck-yeah version of Death Note. And it's only 12 episodes long.

                                                  Last book: 11/22/63 By Stephen King

                                                  dunno what to read next

                                                  @Vaeldiithia
                                                  go try that Stephen King, if you like longer series The Dark Tower is amazing

                                                  We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
