The Alchemy of Stone by Ekaterina Sedia -- very cool steampunk fantasy tale. A sentient clockwork automaton trained in alchemy finds herself caught up in a political struggle between the alchemists and the mechanics.

Rome by Émile Zola. His image of the catholicism would still fit today.

Yeah (I think I already answered this via VM

) But I really liked the first book, and my schoo library seemed to have the entire series, and given the free time I have between classes. I finished this up pretty quickly

Goosebumps: Always good to enjoy a childhood book.

Seven Troop - Andy McNab. Another IRL-based SAS book... And it is glorious. Towards the end, it really puts humanity into the usual RAMBO stereotype.

The body...Stephanie Meyers. Why do I keep doing this to myself! Way too imaginative, this is like, the definition of "too much fantasy", which is not necessarily a bad thing, but when combined with some seriously poor drama romance, it makes me want to kill myself. Oh did I make notice of just how predictable everything was? And the moral structure was too shallow, the characters carbon-pasted from all over, and no real meaning to the end.

Yes the Erin Hunter Warriors book

Halfway through The Blade Itself, by Joe Abercrombie. Fairly interesting but it hasn't quite gripped me yet.

Rennir · 2010-10-08, 17:47

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. It's certainly a very interesting book, though the math in it makes no sense at all. And there's one really awkward scene

Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5

This was one of the most innovative books I've read in American literature. It deals with a subject as touchy as the killing of 100,000 people with graceful sarcasm. It was a pure pleasure to read this book and the writing was something that took me away.

Beastly: It was a class assignment to read this, but it was a good book.. Pretty standard in plot, but good

The Hunger Games, the first one anyway. I really liked it, especially the main character. I love bitchy characters. Well, I wouldn't call her bitchy, actually, but not being a paragon of niceness is always a plus for me.

Alchemist007 · 2010-10-09, 17:06

Ugh, the worst thing ever is reading non-story books for school. Despite that, I started up on Gears of War: Aspho Fields

Dextro · 2010-10-09, 20:41

The Playbook by "Barney Stinson"

Well I did read it but that doesn't even count

Before that I finished reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, up next: Mogworld by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw of Zero Punctuation fame

ganbaru · 2010-10-09, 22:40

Paris by Émile Zola, the last book of ''Les trois villes'' serie.
