Edit: Fuk u, Yatter.

Finally started on Game of Thrones since everyone hails to it as such a great book, also reading Moon Called, was recommended to me since I enjoyed Dresden, it was a bit slow at first but started picking up recently. Been enjoying both.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy! :D

Stuff by Raymond E Feist

Trying to force my way through The Fall of Hyperion. Not really getting into it though. Hyperion was... decent enough, but the sequel is making me lose interest. Sad times. So really, I need a new book too.

The Firm

Currently reading Metro 2033 by Dimitry Glukhovsky.
Just ordered Metro 2033 and it will arrive on Monday.

Hunger Games series, Pendragon series

I have no idea what to recommend, but I've been reading a bunch of Louis L'Amour books recently. Found one at a thrift store, bought it on a whim, and loved it. Went back for more, and eventually ended up getting about 20+ of them for $1 together. I particularly loved how some of those books I picked up were first printings from the 60's and 70's. There's something I just love about older books.

Speaking of old, I'm also reading a collection of Russian short stories by various authors from the 1800's/early 1900's. Really great writing style.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series!

What I am reading????????!?
Stuff about cognitive pragmatics, Relevance Theory to be precise.

Yeah, I know, noone cares. I don't either, but that's the catch: I HAVE to read this crap. Wheeeee.

Apart from that, I used to storm through Stephen King and Henning Mankell books, but nowadays I forgot how to read proper books/novels, my attention span reading long texts has always been quite short, these days pretty nonexistent. I do buy the odd book but they're just catching dust on my shelf, and then I wonder why I bought those books in the first place... ugh. I much prefer comics.

Catching Fire from the Hunger Games series. I recommend the Hunger Games and the Xanth series.

I'm currently reading Pirate Latitudes, by Michael Crichton.

Reading the Farseer Saga again right now (Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin, Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb)

But I really suggest you read the Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelanzy. Great series of books and I'm gonna be re-reading them again after I finish said Farseer saga.

A Confederacy of Dunces. lulz are being had.

The Dark Tower (Stephen King series), It (SK), Cell (SK), The Stand (SK)....you get the idea, anything from Stephen King is a good choice xD.

Also, you could try Fever (Robin Cook) or Lovecraft :)

On a bit of a retro sci-fi thing at the moment, stuff like Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep (Philip K. Dick), 2001: A Space Odyssey (Arthur C. Clarke), and Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. All fantastic books.

I recently finished up George R. R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series that others have mentioned (the books that the Game of Thrones tv series is based on). The first three books are absolutely amazing, I highly recommend them. I did think that the following books went downhill quite a ways, unfortunately :. So much potential just not quite realised.

-Necronomicon (The HP Lovecraft collection)

-Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut (for like the tenth time)

Both are really good. I also picked up a copy of the Hunger Games that I might read soon.

• Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking
• Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother
