A new year, a new list of books to read. What's teamliquid reading?
A general guideline:
1) A book you have recently finished
2) A book you are currently reading
3) The next book you plan on reading

I love Murakami and this book is no exception. Out of his works, this is my second most favorite (the first being Norwegian Wood).
Currently Reading:
![[image loading]](http://img.listal.com/image/productsus/1000/0679723161/books/lolita-vladimir-nabokov.jpg)
Vladimir Nabokov, a Russian author, wrote this book in English, and later translated it into Russian. I never knew the term "lolita" stemmed from this book, which was why I decided to pick this up. An interesting read so far.
Next in Line:

As a huge Murakami fan I feel obligated to read not only his fiction, but his other works as well.
Back in time...

Not sure what will come after this one, maybe I'll try to dig up Hannibal by Thomas Harris from somewhere in my room :p.

I already posted my last finished one, Bridge to Terabithia in the last thread, it's excellent.
I picked up The Half-Made World by Felix Gilman

It's quite awesome, sort of a sci-fi fantasy mix, I've seen it mentioned in connection with the new genre called new weird. It's a rip-roaring adventure that takes place in a completely unique setting.
Next I dunno, maybe Demons by Dostoevsky.

The hunger games takes place in in a world in which each district of a centralised state must provide each year 2 people to participate in a death game. Only one can be victorious. It was pretty cool actually!

Not sure if there is an english version yet. There probably is since this book got a lot of prices in the Netherlands and Belgium. It's about the history of Congo, from about 1800 till now. Aside from beeing nicely written and very informative I really like the fact that the author tells the history trough the people who where then when it happend.

Just the cover art makes me want to read these. I know, I know, don't judge a book by it's cover, but meh.

They're fantastic. Basic premise is that the laws of physics magically change overnight, and all of a sudden electricity, explosives, combustion, etc, all cease to exist. So any technology invented in like the last 600 years just ceases to work.
People are starving within a week, reverting to cannibalism, and like 99% of the world's population dies off within a month. The survivors begin rebuilding a neo-feudal society, complete with random wacko's proclaiming themselves the "King of Oregon" or the "Baron of Portland", just trying to survive in a new and scary world.
Really awesome read, I definitely recommend it to any sci-fi or fantasy fans out there.
