[Acruoxil]

I used to love reading but I stopped once my school work started to pile up. So I guess I don't read anymore~

So yeah, discuss what you're currently reading, if you like reading and what you like reading. ^^

Gogogo.

The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea by Yukio Mishima.

Decided to re-read it some days ago and it's sooo good. Not the easiest book to read but it will reward you greatly if you have the patience. Wish more of his books were available in swedish or english...

Currently reading The Riyria Revelations by Michael J. Sullivan. It is my.. hmm.. 3th time rereading the books~!

Just adoring them. Loveable characters, good plot and I just can't put them away. Recommend it for fantasy-lovers. It's more well-natured than some others I've read, it doesn't describe much blood or detailed, long fighting scenes, but it has a good pace and things that do happen are well described.

What kind of a book is it? I mean like what's it based on and stuff? It seems intriguing, I might actually give it a shot.;

It's about a sailor who fells in love with a woman on land, and drifts away from his ideals as a sailor, with the woman's son thinking he has betrayed the sea and all its pride and wants to get revenge on him. It's really good.. I'd recommend more books by Mishima, but the only other I read is Forbidden Colours (is really good so go read that one as well)

Crime by Irvine Welsh! Sequel to Filth, which I loved, kinda feeling like it's not Welsh though because of the lack of heavy Scottish dialect throughout the book ):

Well woah, thanks for giving me another ploy to procrastinate with this book seems amazing. Defs getting it ~

Enjoy, it's not easy to read and very serious (as everything Mishima) but it will reward you with a nice feeling if you get to finish it.

Yeah, it seems like I'll have to give it a whole lot of time to get the most out of it.

I got restless so I got the eBook version of it, lol. Thanks again!

No problems, glad you could find it Have a quite the journey...

 

[visibleghost]

I used to read all the time when I was younger but now I mostly read manga lol... I've run out of physical manga to read now though, so I might start reading a bit more now...

I'm currently reading JPod by Douglas Coupland, The Passage by Justin Cronin and some swedish book about sherlock holmes by a guy called Mattias Bostr?m... I've put the last one on hold at the moment, but I am actually reading the other two.

 

[T-Kun]

I'm reading Sword Art Online! (The light novels by Reki Kawahara).

 

[Esphas]

i only really ever read manga and comics. although ive not bought any in quite a while. ill have to sometime in the near future

im currently reading blue exorcist. or at least i will be once i buy the latest volume

 

[Knopekin]

I stopped reading books for a while, but I've picked them back up because I read a lot at work (I look after a very, very quiet shop). I'm reading The Book Thief at the moment, which was popular a few years ago and it's really good so far.

If you like books that are a bit messed up, I really recommend The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks and We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriever (both about children who kill people, but both incredibly well-written), they're the two best books I've read in a while

My housemate keeps telling me to read David Mitchell's books (The Bone Clocks, Cloud Atlas, etc.), and I'd like a second opinion, so if anyone's read anything by him, can you let me know if it's any good? Thanks!

Survive the Night

Picked it up at Barnes and Noble the other day, and so far I really like it

 

[Dunquixote]

I haven't read for months, but the book I was reading was The Crusades: The Authoritative History of the War for the Holy Land by Thomas Asbridge; it's really interesting so far (dang those video games for sidetracking me).

 

[Chris01]

Currently re-reading Mockingjay in anticipation of the last bit of the movie arriving soon

 

[pafupafu]

aw, I wish I could read novels again but I've been focusing on my future and career a lot in the past few years so all I've read recently is psychology books. right now I'm reading a book by Lundy Bancroft.

 

[Mairmalade]

I really like sci-fi and dystopian stuff. For whatever reason I never got around to reading 'Brave New World,' so I bought it and am reading it now.
