I never knew the term "lolita" stemmed from this book, which was why I decided to pick this up. An interesting read so far. Lolita is a really good book, enjoy the read Perguvious. Finished reading: ![[image loading]](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NXi1pMDIh4s/SGRhaLP3d-I/AAAAAAAAAFc/ADtV7eywPY8/s400/pillarsoftheearth.jpg) Currently reading: ![[image loading]](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aojdyzvWO-Y/TdlH1Wr8snI/AAAAAAAAAY4/kQ24DPmos-o/s1600/The+Pillars+Of+The+Earth%252C+Ken+Follett.jpg) Second time I read the series, but I simply cant get enough of the fictive persons in the book. Especially if you are fascinated by the dark age (year ~ 1300). | ||

"The Blade Itself" by Joe Abercrombie One of the main characters is an ex-duelist now turned crippled torturer. Can't really go wrong with that now can you? That's all the back cover tells me though, no spoilers i beg you. | ||

Longer, and better in my opinion, is The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan (favourite fantasy series of all time). About equal with asofai is The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. Another really good set of fantasy series are the Drizzt Do'Urden books by R.A Salvatore. Yes read both of these (wheel of time twice) and they are by far the most engaging stories ever. After so many thousands of pages you know everything about their universe and characters so well its so much better of a story. I also like david eddings series the begariad and mallorean. Shorter but still a great author. How did you feel about the latest book in the wheel of time by the new author? I thought he did a good job and i hope he does with the last one as well. | ||

Just finished reading Towers of Midnight, and i think Brandon Sanderson is doing a great job, the story really picked up the pace after he took over after Robert Jordan, which i think was exactly what the series as a whole needed. Cant wait for A Memory of Light! Gonna start reading A Song of Fire and Ice now! | ||

![[image loading]](http://thegirlfromtheghetto.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/the-psychopath-test.jpg) It's written like a collection of longer blog style articles. Interesting material, though the execution isn't as impressive | ||

Anyway, I just finished: ![[image loading]](http://lorehound.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/lorehound_starcraft-devils-due-cover_review-1024x768.jpg) It is quite alright good entertainment and it certainly has some good moments but the adversary is a little bit unimaginative. | ||

![[image loading]](http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1157143422l/662.jpg) I'm not really a fan of rand's philosophy, but her protagonists are brilliant and her antagonists are among the most evil I've ever read. This book has changed my life, even though I'm a liberal and disagree with the vast majority of the philosophy (I always just skip john galts 45 page monologue at the end). Currently reading: ![[image loading]](http://daily.greencine.com/electrickoolaid.jpg) This isn't fiction - well, not really fiction - but it feels like some sort of art. It's probably closer to a mix between 60s psychedelic art/poetry and journalism. I'm enjoying it a lot so far. | ||

Anyone read any of these and have some opinions? I have already read Into the Wild and liked it but I though Into Thin Air was much better. Kite Runner Into the Wild Founding Brothers | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Um9Vq.jpg) It's for my course, but it's very interesting and suitable for anyone who's interested in politics on the world stage. Covers theories, (international political) history and things like terrorism. | ||
