Beats all western movies, music, and video games that I've seen. | ||

![[image loading]](http://techliberation.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/The-Shallows.jpg) Very interesting book about the physical and psychological changes technology is triggering in our brains. Particularly relevant to those (like most people on this forum) who absorb a great deal more information (in various forms) from the internet than from any other source. It is also interesting to post in this thread, since the author discusses the loss of the ability to focus on reading for long periods of time as a result of internet 'skimming' and lack of regular reading. Also, although there is some discussion of biology etc, the writing is far from dry, and has held my attention (and I am digital arts major with some ADD, ha). | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~tomshi/425/mid/img/dday_book.jpg) I've got a bunch of books on World War II, and this one is one of the best. I don't particularly endorse Ambrose's claim that the battle of Normandy was the turning point in the European theater (Kursk is a better candidate for that title), but the way Ambrose presents his testimony is outstanding. Definitely a must-read if you enjoy military history at all. | ||

Kiss and Tell, err, I had to skim through it (since I procrastinated), so can't really comment. Haven't read Their Eyes yet, but I will finish it within the next 4 days, before my class starts. | ||

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins An okay scifi book, probably aimed at a younger audience. Better than expected since it was recommended by a person who loved the Twilight series. | ||

Thinking of going for that one soon. I haven't read anything by him, but these both sound interesting. | ||

Survivor: ![[image loading]](http://creativewritingblog.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/survivor.jpg) Really just could not get into this. Found Fight Club way better, I was glad when this was over honestly. Ikigami: ![[image loading]](http://0.tqn.com/d/manga/1/0/_/c/-/-/Ikigami1_500.jpg) Bought the first volume then read the rest of the chapters on the internet, its up to about 25 now. I believe this is still continuing? The premise is crazy as fuck but interesting. The government of Japan injects every schoolchild when they are young with this capsule, which will rupture at a predetermined time anywhere between when they are 18-24, about 1 in 1000 have this and noyone knows if they have one or not. 24 hours prior to death they are informed by an Ikigami, some person who works for the government. It is seriously interesting. Follows the perspective of this ikigami deliverer who begins to doubt the moralness of the whole program. Then you have the people who find out they are gonna die. Some try to make things right with loved ones while others seek revenge on people who hurt them in the past. Worth a shot if you are into manga, you can read it here http://www.mangathat.com/ikigami/1 Scott Pilgrim 1-3: ![[image loading]](http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1932664084.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.comicsbulletin.com/reviews/images/0806/scottpilgrim2.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.nexternal.com/dreamland/images/1sp36.jpg) So far I am really into it. Reading Now: ![[image loading]](http://media.hamptonroads.com/images/fun/nufiasco.jpg) Just kinda reading this bit by bit, not that far into this yet. So far, It is just stuff I already know but I look forward to reading this more. Reading Next: The rest of Scott Pilgrim when it comes. After that I think its time to start: ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/7e/FellowshipOfTheRing.JPG) | ||
