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
Last Read:
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:
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... 2010 2009 2008 2007 2005 2005

Read this one last time:
So it's just natural to follow up with this one: ^^ :D
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.

1) Candy by Mian Mian. Read it if you ever get the chance. 2) Re-reading while I look for another book, which I found. ;3 3) ♥♥♥

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!
|
Really good source of information for various topics. Usually has great references to other sources of information as well.

Just finished:
About to start:
I am soooo in love with this series!

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.

Re-reading my H.P Lovecraft books =)

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.
