The Elenium Trilogy by David Eddings. I went in blind on this, not having heard much of it, and though I dislike his way of writing, it had some of the best characters in a while. Really enjoyed it and many laughs were had.

Unfortunately, I haven't read many books lately, if at all (I guess books don't interest me that much). Coincidentally, with Hyouka airing at the moment, I came across the first issue of the Agatha Christie Book Collection magazine, featuring "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" (the actual book, with the cover replicating the first UK edition), which I hope to finish reading soon.

Hoho, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Not going to spoil or anything, but this is one of Agatha Christie's best books, along with And Then There Were None and Murder on the Orient Express.

I've just finished The Return of Sherlock Holmes recently and I just can't seem to get enough of the stories. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has truly created one of the most interesting series in fiction imho.

Personally, I'm enjoying Aesop's Fables even more at the moment. Sometimes the simplest of things in life provide the most enjoyment.

Finished the 9th kingdom, book #1 of the Lightstone series. I found it very odd, because while it starts out as a normal fantasy, setting countries and defining the characters, taking a lot of time in seemingly unnecessary expansions of family trees etc., once the actual plot kicks in, things speed up too much; enough to finish the whole story in 6 chapters of the next book. Anyway, fun read.

Bought the whole A Song Of Ice And Fire series available thus far. Finished Game of Thrones and finishing Clash of Kings now.
It was worth every cent. Even though I had watched both seasons, i enjoyed the read and I'm sure I'll like even more the next books. It's only a pity I glimpsed over so many god dam spoilers in the internet |

struggling through 50 shades of grey. i can't help but laugh every few paragraphs. i feel bad for the female gender if this is how insecure they really are.. haha. but at the same time, i can see why they would find it so intriguing.
