Post subject:  Books I've read recently that I enjoyed
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes - this actually made me very sad. Satis told me it was required reading when he was in school, but not when I was in school - so felt like a book I needed to read (I hate not getting the illusions)

Fevre Dream - George R.R. Martin - This book was OK - but not up to the more preferred series by Martin - A Song of Ice and Fire (think that is the name of the series) - really wish he would put out another book in that series.

Wheel of Time Series - Robert Jordan - I read this series over a long time but it is like 12 books long or something. I enjoyed this series greatly - although I believe that it became very predictable as it went on. The themes were very repetitive.

The more unknown series that I read (3 books in 3 weeks - (which is pretty fast for me as I usually only read a chapter before bed and one in a hot bath when stressed) - was:
Temeraire Series - by Naomi Novil - She was a programmer on Neverwinter nights II. - Anyway I really enjoyed this as it had a cuteness to it like a puppy learning new things and a bit of adventure and creativeness I found refreshing. I hope you all would read it - it is only a 3 book series at the moment.

I have a read a few others I may post about soon - but my shower is calling and breakfast.

Lol, you've got a lot of free time. :wink:

Unfortunately, I was unable to read any books since I came to Bulgaria to study. At home I have a really great collection (about 5k+ of books that are not on physics, maths, technologies etc. related) which I used to read in huge quantities when I was younger. Nah... soon I will be back home for the summer holidays but I won't have much time as well - I'll be learning English :? and some advanced Java-stuff.

But if I give a shot to something it will be certainly some J. Verne, A. Dumas, E. Blyton or such stuff.

Ah yes - Shiny: I'd never read a book in the bath. It is a good way to damage it.

I've learned that i should only read series that are already finished. And i haven't had the time this year to read anything non-school related.
But since my holiday starts now, i'll see if i can pick up some good books.
Can't play Oblivion the whole day long. Or can I? :wink:

I'm amazed someone actually enjoyed Simarillion. Well, to each their own, I guess.

Cool link on the Star Wars / Dune thing. I much prefer the Dune series to Star Wars

Anyone read any good books lately? With this boring-ass job and commuting times I'm going through a lot of books on a short time so I have plenty of time for reading.

Some books I enjoyed recently:

Philip K. Dick - A Maze of Death (SF)
Michio Kaku - Parallel Worlds (non-fiction,on astrological physics)
Tom Holland - Persian Fire (non-fiction on the Greek-Persian war)
Baudelaire - Les Fleurs du mal (not a book but a poetry collection)
William Gibson - Neuromancer (SF)
Somerset Maugham - Of Human Bondage (Bildungsroman)
Elie Wiesel - Night (haunting, absolute must-read)
Nassim Nicholas Taleb - The Black Swan (non-fiction, blend of philosophy, statistics and social commentary)
Craig Thompson - Blankets (a huge but absolutely beautiful graphic novel about a first love. Will break your heart)

Also re-read Moore's "Watchmen" and the Luna Brother's comic series "Girls". Good stuff. :)

Poetry? Ugh.
I used to read loads of books, but now I only have time to read the books I need for my study.
The last good book I read was by Jared Diamond. It's about the reason for Europe's rise to dominance since the 1500's, without getting racist. While not flawless, this book goes deep, and offers some good insights.
