Hoping to find some interesting books, so please describe some and perhaps a picture if you can. :D

I'm currently reading all the The Iliad books from Homer(us) It's really fat but reads well. Pure art; so beautiful to read.

I just finished this book - questions about the brain.

And my next read will be: A Brother's Journey, by Richard Pelzer. link. It's about the brother of bestselling Dave Pelzer. They both experienced extreme misfortune in their childhood in the form of abuse.

A Street Fighter FAQ. Recently read Captains and the Kings by Jeffrey Archer, though. Amazing author, absolutely phenomenal.

Just read American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis.
I can't stop thinking about that book. I didn't enjoy reading about all the gore and inhumanity yet I kept on reading it. Very fascinating book.

I'm trying to read Don Quixote but I just can't get into it. All the little puns they use that can't really be translated over are sort of killing it for me. And reading about some crazed dude running around with a cowardly idiot is somewhat depressing for some reason, too. I shopped around to get the 'best translation,' too. Hopefully it picks up at some point.

One of the best books I've read actually. Parts of it are so funny that I almost wet my pants laughing. I just love how Bateman gradually goes more and more insane and does the weird shit he does. And Easton Ellis writes in a mesmerizing way.
