What books are everyone reading right now?

Personally, I have been reading 13 Phantasms by James P Blaylock for the past 3 months months off and on. Excellent book, made up of short stories.

Well, I'm not reading anything at the moment. But I did finish Twilight and New Moon, both by Stephanie Meyer. Good books, I need the third one now.

Never heard of either of those. Can you tell me anything on what they are about?

Girly story. It's a romance novel set with vampires and werewolves. Honestly, the two I read are better than I expected.

Ahh, I see. At least it sounds a little bit better than those crappy romance novels with Fabio on the cover.

Still not exactly my thing though lol

Hey now. That isn't Fabio! Those are the guys from the story! lmao, I never liked Fabio.

Update time: I am reading the third book by Stephanie Meyers called Eclipse. So far, it's just as good at the first two.

I'm currently reading One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey.

Lol Fabio, he's been immortalized by EGM for having made an old Nintendo game cover.

Also, romance stories with werewolves and vampires? That's the godamnest awesomest thing I've ever heard lol.

I'm reading Blaze by Stephen King, although written as his alter ego, Richard Bachman. This is actually an OLD story he wrote at the age of 25 but discarded it after he decided he didn't like it. After reading it years later, he thought it was actually pretty good, so he released it this year.

But, well it goes on during some years back, so it's kinda weird lol. Then again most if SK's stories always occur in the seventies and eighties. The classic ones anyway. Cell wasn't that classic! XD

The story is about a man named Blaze who's like, mentally retarded, due to his dad beating the shit out of him when he was young. He had a friend, Goerge, and both of them ran shenanigans and petty crime to get by. George is always pissed at Blaze for fucking up-kinda reminds me of Mice and Men gone wrong lol.

Thing is...George has been dead for a bit now, but Blaze still like, talks to him...you'd think this would be a pretty normal story about a slow man and his life without the guy who looked after him, but nooooooooooooooooooooooo, he has to HEAR shit lol.

It's great.

Wow, i'll definitely have to look into that book then!

Sounds pretty damn good actually

In the process of reading The Steep Approach to Garbadale, by Iain Banks. It's awesome so far, just like the others I've read by him.

In the procces of writting my own, but that's not inportant right now...

I'm still going on Pegasus In Flight by Anne MacCafery (I always think i spell the last name wrong...), 3rd or 4th time going through it.

For some reason, I forgot to sticky this earlier!

Anyway, i'm currently reading that Sega Saturn hint guide I bought a few weeks ago lol.

Not bad for a dollar, if only to bring back old memories

Dante's Purgatorio. Wooooop. On Canto XIX at the moment.

I'm about to go read some Fantasy book by Piers Anthony, although I can't remember the books title at the moment!

Gonna go offline in a second to do that.

Well, besides the EGM and OPM magazines, I've been rereading the Twilight series for when the fourth book comes out. I need to get some more books, as I have read and reread all the ones I got.

Just reading some Star Wars book that was a "limited time only" download from some Star Wars site.

Apparently it's an official Lucas Film liscenced book, so I guess they are hoping you'll buy more after you read this.

Let me try to find a link for those who are interested.

I tend to go to fanfiction.net and read those stories. Some of the ones based off Twilight have been good.

I don't even know what the hell Twilight is!

I have been to fanfiction.net a bit though, and some of the stories are quite good. Many seem terrible though.

...that's because typically they are, lmao

I'm reading World War Z ONLY when I'm taking a shit. This is going to take a while to read, 'cause I only shit once a day.

Reading Snow by Orhan Pamuk. Starting to realize why this guy won a Nobel Prize for Literature.

To be honest, I have never heard of that book before.

Can you tell me what it's about?

Currently working on the Harry Potter books again. Seeing if there's anything I missed in the books. Currently on Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Everything after Order of the Phoenix is trash.

To be honest, I have never heard of that book before.

Can you tell me what it's about?

Turkish poet named Ka was exiled to Germany, returns to Turkey to the city of Kars. He arrives, meets a beauty from his college days, rushes into things, etc. However, the book is more about his reason for going there, which is to report on the wave of suicides by girls who have been forced to remove their head-scarves. There's a bunch of stuff in here dealing with religion and subject of faith, which I find fascinating. Anyway, some other plot driven things happen (REVOLUTION!), but that seems to be what it's about so far.

That does sound like one hell of a book, so i'll definitely have to research it some more

I wonder if the local bookstore would have it.
