She's come undone by Wally Lamb, The Hobbit by J. R. R., and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
I can't stick to one book and often switch between them if I get bored with one.
I would recommend She's come undone, made me laugh and cry (Suprised it's not a movie)

NOTHING at the moment. i've been so swamped with stuff to read this semester (english literature degree is about to be mine) that i'm so burnt out on reading now.

the last thing i read for fun was probably pride and prejudice. like two years ago.

I'm currently reading A Storm of Swords by George R.R. Martin.

I’m sure a lot of you have been picking up reading as an extra form of entertainment over lockdown, so tell me what you’ve been reading!

for me, I’m working my way through Becoming by Michelle Obama, and I’m also reading How To Be Right in a world gone wrong by James O’Brien. The latter is probably one of the best books I’ve read - I’ve almost finished it in 3 days! He gives a (liberal) insight to feminism, brexit, political correctness and Donald trump among other things. Definitely recommend it!

I’ve also seen good things about the book “Girls & s*x” which I’m thinking of picking up!

How about we make our own stories based on our profile pictures?
Here's mine.

The fresh darkness blanketed her room. She paused a moment, stuck in an ambivalent hesitance, then ran after him. He wasn't there. Only a passing thought. “I just knew you would give in eventually.” she heard a disembodied voice scoff. It was familiar, a memory. “Hello?” she whimpered. The darkness was getting tighter now. Suffocating. With no way to see what might lay ahead, every step entailed a risk.

My boyfriend has the whole book set for the Game or Thrones series! What do you think of them?

very creative, but my profile picture is from the Moomins so they already have their own stories haha!

Oof. Totally understandable! I felt like that a couple months ago but my work load is easing off as we near the end of the academic year, so I’ve had more motivation (and time) to be able to pick up reading again

 

[Hanzoisbae]

Does anyone actually want to write anything with me. I’m so bored

 

[WynterFrost]

Currently re-reading Lord of the Rings, I've just started book 3. I'm waiting for a new book to be delivered, Creeping Jenny by Jeff Noon but that's still going to be a while so I was thinking of re-reading Game of Thrones again

 

[Washigirl78]

I've currently been reading The 13th book of The Wings of Fire series(The Poison Jungle), as well as Homestuck when I'm in proximity of a electronic device. :3

 

[salem_]

I am reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley!

 

[aericell]

I've been reading poetry books lately, currently on The Sun Underground & All the Colors in Between by Christopher Ferreiras. I get overwhelmed (with feelings ) if I read too much of it at once so it's taking me a while to get through it all

 

[PearlDragoness]

I just finished re-reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the Heroes of Olympus, and Trials of Apollo series's. I know there's middle-grade, but they're just SO GOOD I"M TOTALLY OBSESSED.

Last Book Finished: Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. A great Grimdark fantasy series with incredible characters and a fully realised harsh world.

 

[ting1984]

I read a lot of just about everything, but especially classic lit (I have a degree in English). Finally got around to Jules Verne's classic, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

 

[Feferily]

I read too quickly. Today I finished the book Tommyknockers by Stephen King and am mostly done with House of Leaves! Always open to some reccomendations : D

 

[Dormire]

Ascendance of a Bookworm novel. I feel like finishing the Anime before going too deep though.

 

[EpicGamer12]

Currently on The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Haven't read too much recently though.

I finished the James O’Brien book - amazing! Recommend for anybody interested in politics looking for a view from a different perspective.


I also took the plunge and bought this book:

just finished the first chapter and so far so good really looking forward to delving into this one.

^ lol, interesting book. I'm happy to report my sex life is fantastic and my husband is hot. That's all I got on sex.

I finished the Verne book and have moved onto another acclaimed classic literary work that I put off for years -- Moby Dick by Herman Melville. It's certainly much easier to understand at age 35 than when I was younger!
