I just see blank space.

My bad dude.

Reading more human psycology stuff.

Every one of you dudes, go read "The Way Of The Superior Man". Awesome stuff.

[Quel33]

I am currently reading a TON.

This is the list, which I strongly recommend to everyone:

A Game of Thrones(The TV series is good, but this is also goooood.)

The Lost Fleet: Dauntless(Seriously this is an epic book that keeps getting better as you read it. It has also helped to give me awesome ideas for a space battle in my RPG.(Advertising))

And in the future, this is where you begin to see why I'm almost overwhelmed.

The Lost Fleet: Fearless
The Lost Fleet: Courageous
The Lost Fleet: Valiant
The Lost Fleet: Relentless
The Lost Fleet: Victorious

Now asides from those books I'll be trying to read all of the Story of Fire and Ice.


I'm a bit of a elder book wyrm instead of your classic bookworm., so I read a lot. I'm probably going to be reading more than usual in the next quarter of the year.

I read almost everything from novels to how-to books. Currently I am reading

The Chronicles of Narnia the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (in Japanese, just to torture myself and to challenge my reading skills)

War and Peace (second read through)

After these I plan on reading Ana Karenina and time allowing yukiguni (in the original Japanese, not English)

Plus books 2 and 3 in the new jedi order.

Vector Prime!? I hated R.A. Salvatore for a long time after that book. Then I realized LucasArts used him for his awesome writing skills to...Well I won't spoil it for you...........

Really good book though...Shocking, but good.

I've heard some of the books in the series are awesome.

I liked Salvatore's Drizzt books. I've got the first 3 in a set.
I sorta read half of one then stopped...need to finish.

Reading, Hunger Games, atm

I normally loathe reading a book because it feels like I'm in jail. (I read too much in jail)

....but since I'm getting married in August, the preacher that's marrying us wants us both to read this "The Five Love Languages" book by.... I forget who wrote it.

Its about how there's 5 ways people express love,

Physical touch
Acts of service
Quality Time
Positive Affirmations
Gifts

...and how each person has one primary love language they express and receive to feel "most loved".

I don't know if I quite buy the just one primary language, but I think it makes sense to break down identifying "love" into those 5 categories. (obviously, this goes beyond just a marriage type relationship - as there are many forms of love)

Yeah. Its alright. I'm a little over half way through it.

( _ _) ....

I can't read too much at a time cause I feel like I'm in jail again.

Yes, it was that. I was still young when I read that book, and back then I wasn't as cynical towards gratuitousness as I am now.

Also Dtier...Look at this video. It should make you want to read Drizzt, even though it's non canonical:



I was just wandering around the internet when I found that video. Cool, huh?

I've read the Inferno and Purgatorio of Alighieri, though I can't go through Paradiso. At the first few parts they were simply bickering. Dante was all like "Oh I though it was this, it was that" then Beatrice was all "No, it's like this, like that" blah blah blah and it went for a few more cantos then got bored. Also finished The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo. It was a lot more morbid than that of the mere images of its Disney version. Currently reading Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes and halfway through the first book. The book I have is the complete and unabridged type, so it has all 1050 pages I need to plow through o_o Also done with Les Miserables and Hamlet.

Out of the classics, I've read Nobody True by...I forgot. It was a man who could perform Out of Body Experiences (OBEs) then while he was in one, his body was mutilated. Then there's another book, entitled The Last Oracle. Unfortunately I also forgot the author. It was about some Russians conducting experiments on gypsies that were the descendants of the people from Delphi. Forgot how the story goes. Another one was entitled The Fallen Angel. Again, I forgot the author. It was in romance/fantasy genre, about an angel who lived through the ages on earth. He was a con man in our modern age, and fell in love with a woman. Now this woman was some kind of manager, I think, for a band. Now the front man of this band claims that he sold his soul to the devil just to get him famous. Maybe I've skipped some other books I've read because of my frail, ignorant memory. I've read a couple of art books just to help me a little bit, and it did, only for a little bit >.> also read local, comedy books here.
