![[image loading]](http://www.smashingshowcase.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/agatha-christie-and-then-there-were-none-2005-game-eng.jpg) Loved all the Sherlock Holmes stories and thought I'd start with a detective mystery, never read AC before but it was rlly good, so will look forward to reading more by her. Next I'll probably read Brave New World as I was meant to read it for an essay in school but used wikipedia instead and regret not doing so now. Either that or I may give in, and find out once and for all, what the deal is with that girls dragon tattoo... | ||

Disagree. Yes, the setting changes drastically after the prologue, but it is still an amazing story. I personally just finished ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/68/GatewayNovel.JPG) It deserves all of the awards it received, but it is also somewhat depressing. | ||

First book being called A game of Thrones and the second is called A clash of Kings. Both books are very good if you are into fantasy. Will start with the third book now, hoping it will be just as good as the previous two. | ||

Currently Reading: ![[image loading]](http://www.swotti.com/tmp/swotti/cacheY3J5CHRVBM9TAWNVBG==RW50ZXJ0YWLUBWVUDC1CB29RCW==/imgcryptonomicon2.jpg) Nemo14, I have Crytonomicon on my bookshelf. Gotta read it when I have a nice block of time. From what I hear, it's the ultimate geek novel. :D I think that it beats out the Baroque Cycle for the best among Stephenson's work, and anything he puts on a page should be required reading for all self-professed geeks and nerds. I may have read better books, but not many and none of them were as entertaining. | ||

Pretty good read about how irrational behaviour can be predicted and it also shows how even the most rational people are often times irrational. Questions the usefulness of economic models and proposes solutions (I think). Still have to finish it though. Have you read Kluge by Gary Marcus? It looks at idiosyncracies of the human mind from an evolutionary perspective. Covers topics other than decisions too like memory and belief. | ||

![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9f/Wind-up_Bird_Chronicle.jpg) It's been going for a while, it's mostly something I read while travelling to places, it's quite good, a bit surreal, but a very good book so far. | ||

Reading King Lear, the Shakespeare play of course because I'm watching a production on Friday. Also reading a nonfiction account of George Washington. Next will probably be The Collector by John Fowles. | ||

Next: Rereading asoiaf and a dance with dragons ![[image loading]](http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/io9/2010/10/a_dance_with_dragons_george_rr_martin.jpg) | ||

I didn't finish it this time either but got to a new record with 200 pages. I honestly don't get this book or the genre over all. So far Frodo and his mates have visited 3 homes where they ate, drank and slept alot. In between the house visits they sing and get in trouble. I hate to stop reading a book without finishing, but this is honestly torture for me. I just don't get the hype. To be fair, the swedish translated version I read is supposed to be horrible and translated by a man who later developed a deep seeded hatred for Tolkien fans and even wrote a book about it, claiming Tolkien fans did drugs and had sex orgies among other things at their meetings. Crazy stuff. I hardly ever leave books lying without finishing them. But I was bored to death by LotR, and I gave up after about 250 pages. Can't remember whether I was reading it in swedish or english. | ||
