WHAT ARE YOU CURRENTLY READING?

Posts

I'm rereading the West Of Eden trilogy by Harry Harrison. For those who don't know, it's a really good sci fi trilogy about an alternate Earth where the dinosaurs didn't die out, and evolved to be the main rivals of humanity. Their descendants (who are technologically advanced) hunt down the few stone age humans left on the planet.
The story's about one of the human warriors who is trying to find a place for his people to settle without fear of being found and shot.
Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs

"I can think of two things wrong with the name of that movie!"
Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) by: Dante Alighieri.

Currently on Purgatorio (Purgatory)

American gods...

I liked this book a lot, but for some reason all the critics who used to call it a masterwork are all hating it now. I have no idea why!
Don't know what to think of Naked Lunch, to be honest...

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
Bad Money, by Kevin Phillips.
Cartoon History of the Universe Vol I by Larry Gonick.

Makes learning history fun and interesting!

Pendragon Book 7: The Quillan Games

Just bought this yesterday I am an avid fan of the Pendragon series, although I just started reading it again recently finishing "The Rivers of Zadaa" now I'm on the seventh book, it's good so far.
Alice was cute. Now for some manly stuff.

That book's p great. Loved when
that gory stuff happened and people died


Currently reading: Count of Monte Cristo - Dumas
Battle Royale book version was actually kind of mediocre... It's one of the few exceptions where the movie is actually better than the source material.

You should check out Cartoon History of the Universe Vol I by Larry Gonick. He devotes a lot of time on China and even has a cartoon version of RotTK in one of the chapters. Pretty neat!
Candide, or Optimism by Voltaire.
Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison.

It is insane. But it isn't for the faint of heart.

(It has no relation to H.G. Wells, either)
I just finished Stone of Tears by Terry Goodkind. Recommend the series to ANYONE (series is Sword of Truth)
After Dark by Haruki Murakami. <3
