What are you reading?

I just finished Starcrossed by Michael Shreiber and it was literally the worst book I have ever read in my entire life. It made Twilight look like golden literature. It made some of the worst fan-fics I have ever read on the Internet look like published works of art.

10/10 recommend if you hate yourself or you want to read something that makes Keeping Up With The Kardashians seem dignified and philosophical.

Uhh, yeah, I know, I tried this book a couple of years back, I got about a couple of chapters in, and I just literally closed the book and put it away in sheer tedium. Now, I'm normally good with most books of different types and genres, this, however, was sooo disappointing, and I had a real hard time acclimatising to the characters, and found myself just not caring about their lives, or the story in general. And yes, BORING!!! So, yeah, I agree with you there :D I ended up giving it to someone else!

I'm in the middle of City Of Heavenly Fire at the moment, LOVE this series (The Mortal Instruments)!!! Also, about to start Beautiful Redemption, the last book of The Caster Chronicles.
 
Got around to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World after putting it off for a while. I tried reading it in my junior year of high school, but I kept getting lost in the text and bored. It's really a great book and I regret not getting into it the first time around.

Definitely recommended if you haven't read it already. :)
 
The Kite Runner, for school more than anything. I mean, it's okay, but it's really heavy-handed and tries far too hard at points. the beginning was atrocious (I'm about 200 pages in at this point), and it hints at getting better but it hasn't really been able to do much with what it's had so far. here's hoping the remaining 175 pages improve upon it.
 
Trying to read The Cuckoo's Calling by J.K. Rowling, but I've been a bit lazy about my reading lately. It's a great story so far though. :D
 
Right now im on Crossed by Ally Condie not sure if anyone has the the series but its awesome so far
 
I started 2001: A Space Odyssey a couple nights ago. so far I've only read the Dawn of Man part but it was absolutely brilliant, and far better than Childhood's End, the other Clarke book I've read, but I'm only 40 pages in so I'm trying not to prematurely ejaculate, if you will, so to speak. I have high hopes however.
 
I'm halfway through reading Dangerous Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. On Kindle :)
I'm also on Phillipa Gregory's Cousins' War series. Due to start The Red Queen soon.
And, I will soon be reading A Feast For Crows, the fifth in Game Of Thrones series, also. They're intense, but really good ;)
 
Just finish reading the Harry Potter: The Beginning...the story is really good..i have read it 4 times..never bored reading it..
 
Currently reading Making It Happen: Fred Goodwin, RBS and the men who blew up the British economy. It's a really entertaining way to rage at the absolute incompetence and greed that dominated Europe and the US during the last 15 years.
 
Currently reading The Legend Of The Avatar: Earth Version.
 
I'm currently reading Beowulf. It was originally just a school assignment, but I'm enjoying it a bit more than I thought I would.

(Probably won't enjoy the essay as much, however.)
 
At the moment I am reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I haven't actually read the books until now, but I love the movies so. :3

I'm also halfway in finishing The Brothers Grimm; gosh, this is a brilliant read.
 
I just got done reading with Lolita , OMG It's such an amazing book. I suggest you guys read it if you haven't read already!
