Halfway trough The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan at the moment. I read for pleasure all the time, it's the only which can completely wipe away any worries or bad shit going on in my life at the time.

I'm always reading something.

Yesterday. I try to read 30m + everyday. Currently reading Kafka on the Shore

Last read Midnights Children two weeks ago.

I just finished Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Grey. I'm usually always reading something, especially since I'm not in school right now. That was the first I had ever actually read of Oscar Wilde so I just got a collection of some short fiction, essays, poems, and plays by him that I'm currently reading.

I'm reading harry potter now, about halfway through with half-blood prince. I also read some philosophy junk. Ayn Rand now, soon I can be edgy just like all you other philosophags :3
Some of it I just can't understand though, the language is way more complicated than what they're trying to say, but I guess that's just how you wrote back then. That one guy talking about nature was a nutter.

Philosophy in the Boudoir was pretty cool too. Marquis de Sade was a bro'.

I took my friend to my favorite dusty old bookstore downtown.

While she was sifting through the shelves, I came across this interesting little book.
Written my Macualy fucking Culkin.

In it is one of the most interesting books I've ever seen in my life.
It's not really so much of a book as random misconstrued thoughts put together. It's almost exactly like something I'd read.

I can't recommend it enough.

>>7669056
Hey, I'm reading that too.

But I don't like it nearly as much as his other works.

>>7669075
>the language is way more complicated than what they're trying to say

People really need to stop using big words to try and appear intelligent. If I'm ever writing anything I usually follow Orwell's golden rules from his Politics and the English language essay.

I'm currently reading John Dies at the End by David Wong and Synaptic Self by John LeDoux

I read Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe about a month ago. Seriously, no wonder that fucker was Shakespeare's role model. He really is the master of Elizabethan English.

Right now I'm reading 1984 for the first time... pretty interesting so far. I'm at 200, at the point where Winston starts reading "the book". Jesus is that one long block of text.

Mortal Engines a couple of days ago; it was a quick read.

By boss bought me a copy of Atlus Shrugged. I got halfway through it then threw up, haven't picked it up since. He still keeps asking me if I've finished it. I don't have the heart to tell him his favorite book is a load of selfish bullshit.

>>7669103

I can understand if its due to the translation making some sentences seem strange, but I agree with you on the bit of using practical language.

The point of language is to communicate, the more efficiently ideas are communicated, the better they are received.

I'm reading Infinite Jest. This shit is whack, yo.

Probably goosebumps in elementary school. I don't have time to be a faggot bookworm.

i read only technical literature. i disaprove this all reading-for-entertainment elitism.

I just re-read Ender's Game. It's the third time I've read it, but I haven't read it in like 5 years. I had to get my dad to mail it to me since it was still on a shelf in my old bedroom.

The last book I read was some huge, 1000 odd page chick flick called This Charming Man.

At 12 I was reading Frankenstein and thick King Arthur books.

Somehow I managed to lose the capability to be interested in concentrating on that, and haven't read a BOOK in years.

I'm so sick of chick flicks but I don't feel I could handle proper books, I don't know what happened.

I'm not sure I could even stomach Harry Potter.

Where's Waldo

>>7669254
I tried reading Frankenstein when I was 12, but I gave up after a few pages because I couldn't get into it, mainly because I didn't understand what the hell Shelley had written.

currently reading a book called the Magician's Guild I got for christmas, and also reading brave new world.

Next up is hopefully the stranger, if my lazy ass teacher will get it for me

Just finished reading fear nothing by dean koontz

I'm trying to read Catch 22.

It's hard to get past the dialog and literary style, it's freakin' painful to read. All of the characters seem fucking retarded.

>>7669282
That first bit of it's pretty fucking weird, but it gets better. You just have to read it slowly and actually think about what it says, not just take it in like other books.

I can't actually remember if I actually finished it. I think I might have just read like 4/5 or something stupid.

I don't quite remember, really. I remember borrowing Les Mots by Sartre last September, but I had to return it before I had a chance to finish it. I just ordered 10 books yesterday, though, with no connection to what I'm studying, and I think I'm going to start reading one of them as soon as they get here. Even though I have like 5 uni-related books to finish in 3 weeks.

Currently reading The pleasure of finding things out by Richard Feynman shits pretty cash.

>>7669297
>isn't raving about how amazing Catch-22 is

Bracing for pretentious college kid shitstorm.

>>7669369
Whenever someone says 'in b4 shitstorm' on here it is very rarely followed by an actual shitstorm.

I'm reading Guns, Germs, and Steel right now which is about the history of agriculture and animal husbandry

About half an year ago.

>>7669421
>Read Guns Germs and Steel
>Get an appetite for grains
>eat some bread

TASTES LIKE POWER

Halfway through David Copperfield by C Dickens.

I am reading The Orc King by R.A. Salvatore. I have read all his forgotten realms books except for that and The Pirate King. I do enjoy his battle sequences. Yes I am a fan of Fantasy books, dont hit on me silly boys.

About a month ago I read A Brief History of Time. String theory and that piece of information that time moves faster away from gravity blows my mind.

I just finished Stephen King- His Dark Half.

>>7669432
Grain makes you fat. Just look at Italians.

just now

>>7669505
I'd rather hit you. Currently reading Just After Sunset, because King is bloody good at short stories.

I was on a bit of an Arthur C Clarke binge from around November up until a few weeks ago. Now I'm reading Brian Greene's "The Fabric of the Cosmos."

Just finished reading Chapter 9. It is a lengthy book, but so far it has been very informative.

>>7669505
>obviously wants to be hit on because it was completely irrelevant to hint at gender.

I was reading this last weekend. Awesome stuff. Before the first time I read this about two years ago, I was kind of down on poetry, because it was 'illogical, captain.' After reading this, I came to the conclusion that there are some ideas just better expressed in the form of poetry. I read Song of Myself every so often when I'm feeling depressed about the state of the world.

>>7669660
If you like short stories I'd recommend Jeffrey Archer. He may be a complete twat but he is bloody good author.

>>7669754
Totally thought you were reading Soul of the Fire at a glance.

>>7669832

Lol no. Haven't really read much of Terry Goodkind. Did he do the Shannara books?

>>7669848
That would be Terry Brooks..
Goodkind was the shit. Stone of Tears (book two) was the first book I read in any sort of Fantasy series. Fell in love.

>>7669879

Ah. For me it was probably the John Carter of Mars books (they're fantasy, anyone who tries to say they're science fiction is a retard). Man I loved those books. Probably explains why I don't wear clothes when I get the chance too.
