What are you reading?

[Astinus]

The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan. It's my summer book.

Is that series worth getting into if someone is a fan of fantasy? I have the series floating around my house and have always thought about reading them, but I never do because it looks like such a commitment.

As for what I'm currently reading, it's Tears of a Dragon by Bryan Davis. It's the last book in the Dragons In Our Midst series, and it's getting rather tedious to read through. None of the "danger" is actually that dangerous to the heroes, so there's no tension. That's why I doubt the people who have said that this series is on par with Narnia, Harry Potter, and the Lord of the Rings.

Need to get started with that book review blog!~

I'm currently at Chapter 3 of How To Fight A Dragon's Fury by Cressida Cowell.
It's the last title in the brilliant How To Train Your Dragon series...
Love these books, love the films/tv series also!

Currently I'm reading De Triomf van de Dwergen. Which translates to "The Triumph of the Dwarves". Written by the German fantasy author Markus Heitz.

It's the 5th and newest volume of the series. I loved it to bits back then and actually thought the fourth book was the last one. A lot of spinoff books were published after that, mainly featuring the Alves, which are the opposite of Elves. And suddenly a 5th book of the core series came out. So I was really glad the story continued, I'm at page 500 atm and it's still great.

I'm just starting The Man Who Went Up In Smoke by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. It's the second in the Martin Beck series of mystery novels, the first of which I read a while back on a whim and rather liked. It's Swedish mystery and since I really liked (the adaptations of) the Millennium series (a.k.a. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and Wallander I think I'll enjoy the rest of this series.

 

[Cersei Lannister]

I'm working on Bloodline by Claudia Gray. Pretty good novel set up in new Star Wars Canon.

Stephen King's It

Haven't read it since I was like 16. There's was a lot I didn't understand and parts I forgot but re-reading it now is pretty amazing.

I'm currently reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. I'm really enjoying it, plus my grandmother told me there's a movie to it.

Excellent movie, directed by Ben Affleck.

EDIT: Starring Ben Affleck haha

I just found a bunch of Star Wars books in my basement I forgot I had :)

Currently reading The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry. It's my first time reading the book, even though it's one of my mother's favorite books. At least now I'll be a little more prepared when the movie comes out.

 

[Winter]

Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear. One of the most unique steampunk novels I have ever read.

 

[starseed galaxy auticorn]

I'm re-reading Divergent by Veronica Roth. :3 I haven't finished it, but I lost my place though.

 

[Astinus]

Started two books at the same time!

Is God a Mathematician? by Mario Luvio - it's about how the ways of the natural world can be explained by mathematics. Very dry reading, but it's a physics book, and I'm always interested in that.

Ender In Exile by Orson Scott Card - let's not get into my feelings about this book.

 

[Del]

Alchemist & Valkyries by Paulo Coelho
Just finished Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.

 

[Esper]

I'm reading The Laughing Policeman which is the fourth book in the detective series by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö and so far the best one. (Also unfortunately the last one my local library has.) Almost done with this one and so far I've only got a vague inkling of how this is going to end. I have high hopes for a dramatic and satisfying ending.
