L'assomoir by Émile Zola, not what I would call a ''light reading'', in many way.

Koga NX 1701 · 2010-07-12, 02:06

The Chronicles of Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis

Hm, I tried Twilight not too long ago. Got to the sparkling scene thing, brainfart, put it down in defeat. (Seriously, that scene is so badly written, I didn't know what the heck Edward was doing...) Maybe I'll attempt the Twilight Challenge some other time.

Just got past that part, while I was like "uh....wat", I managed to move on. My motivation is just a curiosity to see what happens. I have the feeling that this is what the author wished would have happened to her in her youth

Currently reading Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov. The narrator is one screwed up person, but the writing is beautiful and excellent. Before this, I was reading Franny and Zooey by J.D. Salinger and loved it. Yeah, at the moment I'm mainly reading books by famous authors of decades ago.

At the moment, reading the Mercy Thompson books by Patricia Briggs, just finished the Alpha and Omega books last week, by the same author.

I unfortunately read all 4 books because my wife asked me to...

Probably the last 1/2 of book 4, if that, was just okay.

Roloko vi Britannia · 2010-07-14, 20:15

well I'm on page 100 of James Patterson's Max novel after I finish that I'm moving on to his new novel called Fang.

jedinat · 2010-07-14, 20:23

I just finished listening to The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, the audiobook. Thirty hours long. I'm well into the next book. I last read these like 10 years ago in high school.

Before that I listened to The Old Man's War trilogy by John Scalzi, Starship: Mutiny by Mike Resnick (meh) and some others.

While doing that I read some crappy e-books on my DSi XL, though I quite liked Engravings of Wraith by Kiera Dellacroix. Lesbian romance, lol.

Black Lagoon, volume 9 by Rei Hiroe. Much longer than other volumes, and an awesome resolution for the current arc.

BellaD · 2010-07-14, 20:57

Lately I've been reading these slightly pervy romance novels (You know! The ones that have Fabio on the cover lol)..

The Naked Marquis - Sally MacKenzie
Rushed to the Altar - Jane Feather

Kafriel · 2010-07-15, 03:50

I finished Breaking Dawn, it was rather predictable until the pen-ultimate chapter. THEN Meyers decided to go trollin' and totally killed the final chapter. I hate myself for reading it, although it was admittedly better than the other three, since it contains a lot less of the usual "Edward is my life drug" crap.
Also finished "The little girl and the cigarette", although the premise was interesting, the execution was horrible. It's about a death row wanting to smoke as his final wish in a world where smoking's been b&! Wasn't worth my time in the end...

Nosauz · 2010-07-15, 03:53

I am reading Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain. So far it's lude, crass, absolutely everything I expect from Tony and I am loving it.

Bane Rieko · 2010-07-15, 19:00

Evermore by Alyson Noel... *shudders* NEVER AGAIN.

Ehnra · 2010-07-20, 15:17

Shadows' Son by Jon Sprunk

NorthernFallout · 2010-07-20, 15:23

1984. And it was far more horrible than I imagined, plus now I understand more deeply its use in today politics, even though I knew a lot about the content beforehand.

Currently on The Strain.

ganbaru · 2010-07-20, 17:42

Nana by Émile Zola and Across the river and into the trees by Hemingway

Alchemist007 · 2010-07-20, 17:42

Finished Twilight, now on New Moon.

Mr.Amazing · 2010-07-21, 00:52

I'm rereading Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. I'm a pretty huge fan of the series and read it just about every summer.

RadiantBeam · 2010-07-21, 21:27

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Shinji Ikari Raising Project, volume 2.
