What are you reading/have read lately?

[Ritsuki]

I'm reading Tales of the Otori, an awesome book about a boy who lives in a hidden village in the mountains, when suddenly, a rival clan attacks and kills everyone, except him who manages to escape. He is saved by a noble from the Otori clan. After that, he decides to give his life to the Otori, and to kill the one who orchestered the attack of his village.

A story of vengeance, loyalty, love and NINJAS POWERS !!!

A Series of Unfortunate Events-The Penultimate Peril.

 

[myuusmeow]

Summer reading for school:

Mandatory
They Poured Fire on Us from the Sky by Benson and Alepho Deng and Benjamin Ajak (actually kinda liked it but it was so confusing with all the names of family and cities etc)
No Exit by Jean Paul Sarthe (play, don't like herp derp I'm dead herp derp how could you have made him suicide)

Own choice (I still had to read a book, just that I could pick whatever book was a bestseller in 2009 or 2010)
American on Purpose by Craig Ferguson (liked it a lot, he has a very interesting life)

I don't think that I have actually read a novel just for fun since the last A Series of Unfortunate Events came out in like 6th grade (I'm in 10th now)

i've barely touched my hardcover 1000+ page copy of Under the Dome coz of my AK2i, but before that, i finished Different Seasons, Dark Tower 6, The Mist, etc (in case you don't follow, i worship Stephen King's novels, lolz)

 

[DunkrWunkah]

I'm reading The Alchemyst right now, and so far it's excellent.

The 1000 Nights and 1 Night

3/4 of the way through volume 3 of 4. Translated by Mardus & Mathers or something... They swear it's the most accurate English traslation you'll find, I haven't a clue if there is any truth to their claims. If someone (preferably that's read it in Arabic and English and thus actually has a clue) has a better translation I'd probably be willing to give it a shot.

Below the Root

Just started about half way through. I'd probably finish it in a night after work if I'd stop reading/posting on GBAtemp and playing video games.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Maureen Birnbaum, Barbarian Swordsperson is sitting on my toilet's tank... I read that once or twice a day depending on how much fiber I've had.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!

There's a book of below the root? OH MY GOD!! Where did you get it? Is it based or inspired by the old pc game?

[Paarish]

I'm gonna start reading Stephen King's It soon...

 

[KingdomBlade]

I'm gonna start reading Stephen King's It soon...

I recommend It also. It's an excellent book, and very creepy. Have you read The Shining and Carrie yet? They are probably the essential Stephen King novels.

[Domination]

Read:
Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins

Reading:
The Shock Doctrine by Naomi Klein
The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking

Reading more of the informative kind now, or whatever you call them, I'm gonna read more novels after this though.

 

[SinHarvest24]

All i read is manga.
would recommend Fairy Tail/Naruto/Bleach

W-What!!!
These are obviously big-shot manga's you are leaving. BUT YOU LEFT OUT ONE PIECE

Really. If it's any of the big ones, then One Piece is, without a question, the best of the bunch. Best story, best characters, best artwork, best everything (seriously, something like Naruto? I wouldn't call it good art. And Bleach is damn slow. And Fairy Tail is a wannabe, plus the 'morals' in it make me cringe...)
As a rare exception, I would say the Naruto anime is better than the Manga. Mainly because the art in the Anime is cleaner + better. But of course it suffers from the usual issues, such as a preposterous number of filler episodes...
/Rant end.

(Try reading Berserk if you want a great Manga. Warning: Mature)

I haven't read any books in a while, truth be told. I'm thinking of getting the next revision of the iPad though, and getting back into reading.

Recently I re-read the comic book series 'Bone'. One of my favourites, I highly recommend it to anyone (gender, age, whatever, this is something that everyone should be able to appreciate/enjoy). Mmm, and some months back, I read the Scott Pilgrim comics. I haven't seen the recently released movie, so I can't give a comparison, but I loved the comic.

That'll be all for now.
