haven't been through half of it yet, still an exciting read so far.
i read it very slowly because i have to look up for the meaning of the word i dont know, and there're a lot!

and planning on reading this when i finish child 44.

Currently

Against All Things Ending by Stephen R. Donaldson. The 9th book in the overall series, 3rd book of the final chronicles. Uuuuuuuuuuuugh I have to wait 3 years until the last book T_T

Have read in the last few months (I read quite a bit so I can't remember all of them :p)

The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie. And Best Served Cold (talking about revenge of course) which is set in the same world, just a little disconnected from the actual trilogy. They are definitely interesting. I think they're the first books I've read that use a lot of vulgarity. Though they still have a strong story and interesting characters. Suggested

Ab Urbe Condita by Livy (From the Founding of the City): Books 1-10,20-29, and 36-43. None of the others survive =/

And my favorite history book (and possibly my favorite overall) Lost to the West by Lars Brownsworth. I highly suggest it if you have never read much on the Eastern Roman Empire. Well I actually just suggest it regardless

Ab Urbe Condita: Where can I get a copy of this? Any recommended translations? Looks intriguing.

sun pin military methods
intriguing perhaps in that he advocated the use of siege weapons whereas sun tzu would say otherwise

Recently downloaded the Dark Tower series by Stephen king, the audio books. If you have a job requiring little concentration, and your allowed headphones, you can turn an 8 hour shift into an impressive amount of reading. Best shifts I ever had were spent listening to the 7 Dark Tower novels.
