What are you currently reading!
I am reading ‘Underworld: Blood Enemy’. It’s basically the prequel to ’underworld’. It’s about how Lucian a Lycan (werewolf) falls in love with a vampire named Sonja and how the whole War against vampire and werewolves started.
What about you?
:magus:
I'm almost at the end of Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 by Hunter S. Thompson. It chronicles the Presidential race of 1972, mainly focusing on the campaign of democrat George McGovern. It's a wonderful peice of journalism.
Newspaper: Metro, daily basis (weekdays).
Magazine: FHM, monthly basis.
Book: James Barclay, yearly basis.
The most recent book I read was Demonstorm, by Barclay. I love his stuff (if you ever read them, make sure you read them in order).
For spanish class I'm reading some annoying book I can't even remember the title of.
For english class I'm reading a collection of satires by Jonathan Swift.
For swedish class I'm reading "Crime and punishment" by Dostojevskij
and I'm reading the Bible for fun.
I'm currently reading -
Darkness be my friend by John Marsden and Bridget Jone's Diary.
I'm close to finishing the first (It's called the Reality Dysfunction) of 3 books in the Night's Dawn Trilogy by Peter. F. Hamilton. It's a Sci-Fi/horror book, which is a new genre for me, but I'm very impressed so far, and can't wait to buy the second one.
for an ethics homework: 'A treatment concerning the human understanding' (David Hume)
for a history exam: 'The rise and fall of the Third Reich' (William L. Shirer)
for German classes: 'The Reader' (Bernhard Schlink)
.. well, if I had time, I'd read 'Fabian' by Erich Kästner..... but I haven't got much and this book is too good to read it in a hurry....
this post......HAHAHAHA but seriously
I'm reading my April 2005 XXL Mag
>>> Im reading the "Full Metal Alchemist" manga..
Just finished The Devil Wears Prada.
Alas, another book that's all hype and no substance.
I'm currently reading "Den Kroniske Uskyld" by Klaus Rifbjerg. A quite exciting book.
I just finished reading the seventh and last book in the Dark Tower series by Stephen King, and now I'm off to read The Talisman by the same author.
King has been writing the Dark Tower over the course of thirty+ years, and it's an epic I would describe as sort of a dark fantasy version of Lord of the Rings, only more enjoyable to read (frankly, I find Tolkien's writing style somewhat boring). A good number of his books have ties to the Dark Tower, and I hope to read a few of those now.
I'm reading Shadow Moon by George Lucas and Chris Claremont. I'm sure you recognize one name, but probably not the other, but that's ok. :)
Red Dwarf - Backwards, and a .Hack graphic novel.
Tigana, by Guy Gavriel Kay. The first chapter was eh, but since then it's been really good. It's not exactly what I was expecting, but perhaps it's better this way. But I'm still thinking about Enchantment, by Orson Scott Card. WOW.
:D
How We Are Hungry, a collection of stories by Dave Eggers.
The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison.
they made manga for fma???Quote:

The Talisman and it's sequel, The Black House, have a lot of ties with The Dark Tower. Both are excellent.Quote:

You'll fine that 95% of all anime was manga first.Quote:

I read about IRAs last week!Quote:

Started "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" by Hunter S. Thompson yesturday, around half way through. If I finish it today, I'll start 'Silas Marner' by George Eliot. But I probably won't.
i'm reading The Lord of The Rings, not a "ligth" book...:Oo:
J.V. Jones - 'A Man Betrayed'. I :love: lord Maybor :love:
Incompetence by Rob Grant.
It's very funny so far. Not quite as funny as Fawlty Towers or Douglas Adams that it has been compared to, but still an enjoyable book.
I rather enjoyed Lord of Chaos, though it's not as good as The Great Hunt which has been my favourite book so far. I am somewhere half way through book 8 (The Path of Daggers) at the moment, but I've postponed my WoT reading until the Summer. I love reading about the Forsaken and Aes Sedai, in particular Verin, Moiraine and SiuanQuote:
