I wonder if there is any interest in a book club... I know Lemonwalrus(?) started one a little while back with limited success. In a little while I'll be done exams and definitely interested in looking at some cool literature.

interesting stuff, but honestly screw finals.

As for more casual reading I just finished

I found it be pretty good and would recommend it to someone looking for a decent post-apocalyptic story.

what books did you have in mind? I'll try to participate this time... last time I had read WWZ but slacked off in the discussion anyway. My semester's done in about a month.
Been meaning to read this:

Yep I've run the two instances of tl book club that have happened so far. (although I would not stand in your way if you wanted to run the third, infact I welcome you to it.) I would probably participate as well. I unfortunately don't think I am going to run one myself for a while, as my work/living arrangements for the summer are not as glued down at the moment as I would like them to be.

I sort of failed at running them tbh, so maybe a fresh approach would be good.

I'm reading R.A. Salvatore's The Ancient. And Stephen King's The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

Haven't been doing my usual gobbling up loads of books recently, but I intend on getting back on track and getting like tons of stuff out from the library.

Things I've read recently?

Read Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law trilogy, and Best Served Cold. As well as R.A. Salvatore's The Highwayman. And Dean Koontz, Brother Odd, and Midnight. Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. I enjoyed all of these books, nothing that stuck out as amazing. (Like a Song of Ice and Fire.) but they were pretty darn good.

Oh, and I've been reading A bunch of learning to write books, (like the one by Stephen King, that I can't remember the name of.)

I’ve also been meaning to read a bunch of Dean Koontz novels, and I wouldn’t mind expanding my reading horizons a little further into more mysteries and such. And of course some of the books posted here look interesting so I might have to check some of those out.

(I don’t know how to post pictures of the books, but considering the amount of books I named it would take up a huge amount of the screen and I don’t like taking up that much space anyway.)
