I am reading, "Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan". 'Tis very good.

After consulting the scriptures, I have realised that Rincewinds companion through time and space in Eric is not Twoflower, but is in fact Eric. In light of this my favorite in the Rincewind & Twoflower series (TCoM, TLF, IT & TLC) is The Last Continent. Strictly speaking, Twoflower isn't in it, but it does deal with the aftermath of Interesting Times. I do like Interesting Times, it's just that 70% of my like is on the last 20% of the book. I felt that not much happens until The Silver Horde take over the city. For me, the best Discworld books contain: Rincewind The Luggage The Silver Horde Death Albert Ponder Stibbons The general faculty of The Unseen University The Unseen University itself Hex |

I knew you'd say something like that. I never was particularly interested in the A-MW. But then again, I don't like normal cop dramas either. Corporal Nobbs is the only character in the watch I was ever particularly interested in. Thud! was the only Watch book I particularly enjoyed.
|
:
That being said, I did enjoy it moreso than Only Revolutions. |
I just finished a book called Kraken by China Mieville.
I wasn't particularly impressed. |
@ MM:
You missed Vetinari! @ WoF: You didn't missed Vetinari! @ all o' ya: Rincewind's a dopey sod who gets pretty boring, to tell the truth. Twoflower... I haven't read about Twoflower in a while, but I remember him as being... well, I don't remember. The best characters, in my opinion, are Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg. And the Nac Mac Feegle. |
Nanny Ogg is love, yes.
|
I like the Librarian.
I'm reading George Orwell's Ninteen Eighty Four. Hauntingly plausible. |
So want to get 1984!!!!
|
:
1984 is an amazing book though. |
I r reading the Necrocomicon. Pretty much almost the entire collection of H.P. Lovecraft's short stories and novels. Its a difficult read and the racism is hilarious, but still brilliant.
Inbetween stories I have been reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Very odd and a bit slow nevertheless a very interesting read |
I quit reading American Gods about three chapters in. I couldn't get over how stupid the main character's name was. It irked me too much.
|

|
I just don't think that anything could make "Shadow" more appealing to me.
|
Is Lovecraft worth reading, also do I need ot read books in a certain order or is it all good? I was very tempted to buy but have little knowledge of the books plot
|
Im reading War of the Worlds by H.G Well This book is awesome!
|
:
|
Many thanks, I think I will get 1984 and C'thulu for xmas
|
I read The Call of Cthulu the other day. It was pretty awesome, as was expected.

I'm reading Porno, the sequel to Trainspotting. As much as I like how it jumps back and forth between the two protagonists, I am significantly more interested in the Bar-purchasing pursuits of Simon than the whiny, self-pitying, annoying, narcissistic dumbfuckery of whatever the girl's name is.
Like, seriously lady, SHUT THE FUCK UP. |
Currently reading The Oxford History of Ancient Egypt..
Its all good. |
The Forge of God. Started off slow but it's fairly kicking in gear now.
|
:
I'm reading my statistics book right now, joy! |
Heh, yeah, dunno, never been interested before now.
I read God's Demon a while back, by an interesting artist actually named Wayne Barlowe, I don't think it's that well known but I could be wrong, I definitely give it a 9/10! |
NOTHING!!!
isnt it great =P nah but being serious ive been reading some naruto comics but that's just because im very lasy when it comes to reading |
That explains your spelling then.
|
Hey! I don't read a lot and my spelling is... decent.
|
Whatever floats your boat, sailor.
