I think if I ever go crazy and have kids, I'll skip the Dr. Seuss, the Boxcar Children, etc, and teach them to read straight from sci-fi. As for my last read, I just finished reading Sharps, by K. J. Parker. Not sure how I overlooked this author. Planning on picking up his Fencer Trilogy next.

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami.
I would call this a typical Murakami novel. Plenty of genuinely wise, poignant stuff wrapped in an easy to read, Lynchian-mindfuck. If I wasn't hardened by the internet, weird animes and other Murakami works, maybe I would find the plot too much to handle. In any case, I'm glad I read it and will remember several sentences, characters (Nakata) and weird but kakkoii situations fondly. |

Currently reading The Passage, finding it hard to keep at it though as I'm working full time and studying a degree sort o full time, most of my reading is focused on studying, but what from I've read so far I'm loving it.

Finished 2 books but got more
I finished One of the books in the Blood Coven Series by Mari Mancussi which is Soul Bound. Mancussi never fails to suck me into a book and keep me on the edge of my seat. The next one is The Slayer Chronicles. One of the characters of The Chronicles Of Vladimir Tod gets his side of the story told. These two books are written by Heather Brewer. She really made me love the books and the characters <3

Recently picked up Hounded by Kevin Hearne. I was looking for something different than my usual sci-fi/fantasy reading, and this book didn't diasapoint. Very entertaining reading, and I think I might pick up some of the other books in the series.

I've been listening to The Count of Monte Cristo on my daily commute for quite a while now, and I absolutely love it. I acquired the 37-disc Blackstone Audio version through my local library, and John Lee is a spectacular reader. I'm quite a fast reader, so I could've been finished with the thousand-page book long ago if I simply sat down and read it, but Lee's voice makes it too much more enjoyable for me not to listen. I highly recommend it to anyone who can find it.

With all the Snowden shit going down I recently re-read 1984. Read back in the day in school and thought nothing of it but this time around it was very disturbing. Now that I am almost grown up at the age of 31 .

Jar City by Arnaldur Indridason. Anyone interested in crime fiction should try it. It also has a little genetics in it. The action takes place in Iceland, a country I'm sure some people would be fascinated with (I know I am ).
