^ I like it :<

I was actually looking for some good books to read at work when I have nothing to do.. I wanted something like Harry Potter. If I get bored while reading I might fall asleep, and sleeping at work isn't good lol

1984 by George Orwell. Cannot believe I didn't read this earlier.

The SCARIEST AND MOST HORRIFYING BOOK I have ever read. Bar none.

lol, you haven't read many books then. 1984, BNW, We (by Yvegeny Zamyatin) and all the other "zomg dystopia" books get dry and repetitive after awhile.

Am currently going through Shakespeare's stuff. I have read Twelfth Night, A Midsummer Nights Dream, Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice, Macbeth and Othello so far and I am reading King Lear at the moment. Don't know where I'll proceed from there, but there's still a lot more to be read by the master.

Try Kafka's The Trial.

Right now I'm reading the third installment of the Millenium trilogy,

I have a nasty habit of reading things in parallel (typically, one thing to read in spurts [bathroom, trip] and another for chapters/whatever division) so I'm working on The Complete Sherlock Holmes (compilation of all ofSir Arthur Conan Doyle's work) and Stephen King's Skeleton Crew (collection of short stories). Quick note: "Survivor Type" in Skeleton Crew freaked me out for awhile. Rarely does a story bother me, but that one creeped me out hard. I didn't pick up the book for a couple weeks after reading that story ... which gave me time to read Under the Dome.

George RR Martin is so amazing, anyone who didn't read his books is missing out on so very fucking much
