I'm currently reading the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
currently at the 12th book

Redshirts by John Scalzi
Fun read for geeks like me.

Greetings, I've been kicked from the group, but as far as I know, I didn't broke any rules.I double checked the rules.

As for last book I've read - last weekend I've read The Freeze-Frame Revolution by Peter Watts. He is probably my most beloved modern-age hard-sci-fi author, yet as much as I loved this book (still rated it 5/5) it's probably my least favoritue of his works. Beggining and setting are awesome, but conclusion is dissapointing, not really bad but sth I'd expect from space opera, or other soft sci-fi book, not from heavy science-based hard sci-fi.

Also for anyone intrested - my GR profile - yet it's missing a few books I've read in 2018, gonna update them when I have some more free time ;p

Such a Long Journey by Rohinton Mistry - Novel portraying an Indian family, tribulations, poverty and politics with such descriptive narrative and strong characters. I enjoyed reading this whilst travelling through southern India.

I'm currently reading the Storia del giappone by Kenneth G. Henshall. This is because at the moment I am living a phase of intense love for Japanese culture, in fact I am also studying the language and the kitchen, but returning to the book describes the history of Japan from the Paleolithic up to the present day

I recently finished Dan Simmons' Olympos, the sequel of Iium, and I loved it.
Robots, Greek Gods, ancient greek warriors and Shakespeare. All in one!

I finished yesterday Twelve Chairs by Ilya Ilf, it was even cuter and funnier than the movie. :3
I'm in the middle of reading Lód by Jacek Dukaj (sadly no English translation so far) and today I started Nest of the Worlds by Marek S. Huberath.

De cero a uno: Cómo inventar el futuro de Libro de Peter Thiel - Libro excelente que te explica de la innovación.

Sorry for me English

From zero to one: How to invent the future of Peter Thiel's Book - Excellent book that explains you about innovation.

Последней книгой, которую я прочитал, был "Звездный молот" Кристофера Раули.
Межзвездные путешествия, инопланетные расы, древние машины - это так завораживает, что прочитал от корки до корки за 2 дня xD
Надеюсь когда-нибудь по этой книге сделают игру)

Choke by Palahniuk, hi sexaholics, must have to read

I do not know if it counts but I just bought Playing with Super Power! A guide on NES. I was recommended, and well I'm starting with that, it's a look at the console and its main games with data not revealed so far, tricks and curiosities. Curious and to my surprise comomico at the same time hahaha ... the design of the book has the appearance of an American cartridge of SNES, with a rigid dust jacket to protect even better the volume. : D

Hello i read lot of books in arabic language is there any possibility to join the group

The last book I read is Captain Nobody

I don't read a lot of books so I don't apply, but just to say, I think the last book I finished was either Ian Banks Use of Weapons, or Solaris by Stanislav Lem.
Solaris was overall good, but didn't deliver to my expectations, as I've started it after hearing somewhere it has a good insight on weird alien intelligence. It just didn't deliver enough weirdness, nor did it really touch the concept of said intelligence itself. But the story was good, and it wasn't a hard read, it was pretty eventful to hold my attention so I've read it in one take overnight, which I'd say is quite an achievement, knowing how easily distracted I am.
Use of Weapons is third book in the Culture series, but for me it's the fourth. It was really hard to read, story keeps jumping back and forward without explaining where (or when) you are, so I've read fourth one (The State of Art) first. So, for those who have no idea about what Culture is, it's basically a universe about hedonistic space commies who dominate everything else. First book - Consider Phlebas - is written from a perspective of a Culture hater (more of antihero, to be honest) who fights against it, and this book has A LOT of events. It is really good for movie adaptation, so I totally get why they are doing it now. It has so much amazing sceneries and hero (or antihero) is traveling across them all to reach the final destination.
Second (Player of Games) is from perspective of normal Culture citizen who has to participate in some special agent operation due to... circumstances. It is fun and easy to read too. And fourth (State of Art) is from Culture special agent, who has fun on year 1977 Earth, so it's even lighter (although has its dark moments).
I highly recommend those series to anyone who loves space sci-fi, and if you want to know the best order, you can start with any but I'd say second is easiest, then fourth, then first, then third. Really, if you don't like any of them, just drop and go to another.

The last book I got to finish reading was Dances with Dragon. I am awaiting still the next book in the series Winds of Winter. Can't wait for it.

I'm reading the Confluence series by Jennifer Foehner Wells. I finished Remanence and I'm currently reading Inheritance.

Richard Bach: Johnathan Livingstone the seagull its the best:)

Last book i read was "The Silmarillion" J. R. R. Tolkien.

I'm not sure if you're still recruiting for this group, but I just found out about it via a friend's profile and would be interested to join.

Last book I read was The Secret Place by Tana French, which is book 5 in her Dublin Murder Squad series, which is a murder mystery series. The series in general is quite interesting, the writing is solid and consistent, and manage to keep me wondering about who dunnit til quite far in the book, which is not often the case in that genre. Not my favourite murder mystery series of books, but it's entertaining enough that I'm currently reading the next book in the series (and gotta keep myself entertained while my favourites don't get new books out). This particular book was ok, not my favourite in the series but not because it was bad, mainly because it happens in a boarding school and half the narration is from the point of view of some of the students, and is a bit of teen drama. Still enjoyable.

Anyway, here's my GR profile if you're interested in checking out what else I've been reading.

Trying to read Dante Alighieri
Divine Comedy for the second time, it gets really boring when he reachs purgatory.

For the hell part, seems to me Dante really have a lot enemies back then, got lost a lot on the sidenotes of my book.

I just read 'campos de fresa' from the author Jordi Sierra y Fabra in Spanish. It is very interesting and intriguing what happens in the story and what happens to a girl in her adolescence.

Quit on reading Dante`s Divine Comedy.

Reading: Lockdown: Inside Brazil's Most Dangerous Prison

Its stories told by inmates to the prisons doctor. As a Brazilian i suggest to any reader to take the stories with a grain a salt, after all inmates tends to paint them as inocent and non violent but the prison was for dangerous criminals.

And most important it`s a glimpse of what used to be, nowdays brazilian prisons are overtaken by gangs and things are way worst.

And my request to join the group was denied
