![[image loading]](http://www.ximnet.com.my/thelab/images/upload/MadeToStick-707457.jpg) My boss suggested it so I just picked it up from the library. (I work for a technology company and I do marketing for new innovative tools, so this is something that I would need to know) It's pretty good even for casual reading... any business folks should probably check this out  | ||

![[image loading]](http://sifterx.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/6a00cdf3a8c8b2cb8f00d10a77a0d58bfa-500pi.jpg) Currently Reading ![[image loading]](http://images.dawgsports.com/images/admin/Dostoevsky_The_Idiot_cover.jpg) Reading Next I never know what I'll be onto next. I like to sharply switch gears (re: Palahniuk -> Dostoevsky), but sometimes I'll read the same author back to back. It all depends on how I feel coming off the last book. The Idiot is definitely going to leave an impression, though. And I'm only 70 pages in. It's good to see so many readers!  | ||

I haven't read anything along similar lines since Piers Anthony's On a Pale Horse, which was rad. I have some of the others from that series. I also recommend American Gods by Neil Gaiman. It's for everyone. I haven't touched Leo Tolstoy yet but I'll get around to him some day. One intense Russian at a time. I remember that AP Bio book from my senior year of high school | ||

However, i have read 8 or 9 warhammer 40k books in the past few months out of which i would definetly suggest: ![[image loading]](http://www.spuler.us/40k/large/ravenor_omnibus.jpg) and ![[image loading]](http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/c4/c20637.jpg) | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.demog.berkeley.edu/~eddieh/images/covers/DeathWithInterruptions.jpg) Pretty neat little story, but the writing style seemed a bit strange to me. Sentences would sometimes last over 1-2 pages. Worth the read though for sure. | ||

![[image loading]](http://img1.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n16/n80928.jpg) Thinking of reading something by Kafka, maybe starting with The Metamorphosis (already read it but it was fairly interesting) and then going onto The Trial maybe? We'll see what I go to read. | ||

BTW, for anyone looking for good sci fi I recommend Pandora's Star by Peter Hamilton. Just epic. ![[image loading]](http://blog.taivo.net/public/BookPics/cover_PandorasStar.jpg) | ||

Joe Abercrombie - The First Law The blade itself (read) Before they are hanged (read) Last argument of kings (currently at the end of book 3 after only two weeks..) http://www.amazon.com/Blade-Itself-First-Law-Book/dp/159102594X/ref=pd_sim_b_2 Delightfully twisted characters, witty dialogue, brutal and violent, lots of intrigue and suspense. An eyeopener in some regards even when compared to: A song of ice and fire (yeah, you already know it) Malazan book of the fallen (this is also a nobrainer, though a bit heavy on pathos) Oh, and I really rather dislike Tolkienesque fantasybooks, so if you're of similar taste - Pick up "The First Law - The blade itself" nowish! | ||

I'm currently writing about ethical problems during military actions in modern times/future. And for that, I need to know more about war in general (what is it exactly, how is it percieved etc.). | ||

Hamilton I haven't read Night's Dawn Trilogy yet, but the Commonwealth Saga (Pandora's Star + Judas Unchained) blew my mind. However, I must disagree on the Void Trilogy. I think Void is pure trash... he just doesn't do fantasy well IMO =( | ||
