What Are You Reading?

Re-reading Nar Kiss by Nekono Mariko, since... can't be bothered to read this other thing i was recommended since, i feel like it will feel really shitty when i finish it, since, i'm expecting it to be very good. So, there...

Was debating if i should actually read a book (like, with no pictures, crazy!), like... have these Agatha Christie books that my mom likes to read, anyone know if they are good?

 

Emma, by Jane Austen, and also Beowulf but that's a bit slow going :/

 

Living Dead Girl. Mmmm.... a book on Lakota Indians

 

'Collapse' by Jared Diamond.

 

Right now Im reading The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Im a little over halfway through it, and its pretty good. I really like how the author narrates from Death's point of view.

 

I read The Great Gatsby....it was okay.

 

The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes (almost done, had to take a break because I get so much reading in school), and I just finished reading The Scarlet Letter for school

 

School stuff : relg 363 Martin bubers I and thou ; American religions and sociology .....text
Some hand outs for freshman seminar on gaming by Zoe Quinn and Brianna wu .
Arthur rimbauds': Le Dormeur du Val & Pierre de ronsards : sonnets pour Helene for French 315.
I have more if you're interested ?

 

These Things Happen by Richard Kramer, as recommended to me by the author himself via Twitter. For a book being promoted by the author himself via randomly following people on social media and suggesting they buy his opus, it is not that bad. So far I've found it a bit hard to get into, but things are picking up quickly despite the characters' frustrating lack of open communication (the main star however is a teen, a variety of beings notoriously allergic to open dialogue with adults [sorry teens, but it's not the easiest time to express oneself, nor is it easy for adults to grasp what's happening as we've forgotten what it's like to grow up...])

It deals (almost timidly so far) with LGBT issues too. The main character Wesley's father is gay, as is his best friend Theo. As far as I can tell, Wesley is unsure if he might be gay also. Frankly, I'm more confused than he is regarding his own sexuality.

Next on my nightstand is On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King. I've been searching for it for ages hoping to demolish my own literary embargo. As well as A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis - a book rife with powerful quotes on navigation of pain and suffering.

 

I bought Shakespeares complete works for 3 bucks in a thrift store a few weeks ago. I never read Romeo and Juliet, so I'm giving it a chance. I can't help but feel stupid when reading his works though. He's on a whole different level than me, so to speak... And it's in english which isn't my mother tongue.

 

One of my favorite books.

At the moment I'm reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman

 

I'm reading 'Demain' by Guillaume Musso, in French. There's probably an English version but I'm too lazy to look it up right now.
It's good, but definitely not the best book written by him that I read.

 

Does non-fiction count? If so, Hobbes' Leviathan, Plato's Republic and secondary sources upon it. I have to read them though, since they are my course texts but in terms of fiction I want to get round to reading Asimov's Foundation at some point.

 

I dont like to read the book

I love browsing the internet

 

Just started "Nadja" by André Breton. This should be interesting. As someone who claims to be a fan of surrealism, I can't believe I haven't read this yet.

 

I started the book "Left Behind" and wow…it's simply amazing…I finished it in two days and am on the second book of the serious! Btw it was 450-460 page long 0.0 it wa that good! Haha

 

Reading Cry the Beloved Country by Alan Paton for my school literature text.
Just finished reading the whole lorien legacies and cant wait for the next book next year!! Started on the 5th wave currently at chapter 3. Next on my list is Keeping you a secret by Julie Anne Peters and If i stay

 

I've been absolutely hooked on a lot of Anne Rice's works as of late (particularly The Mayfair Witches - omfg I love this series)
