I'm reading Aldous Huxley's Island for the eighth time. My favorite book. It's fantastic.

Cranked through Ender's Game last weekend. Working on the Speaker of the Dead now. I really dig Orson Scott Card's writing style.

Just finished Tao Lin's Taipei.

It was weird.

Now I need to start something new, before I stop reading regularly again.

Salman Rushdie is my favorite. sorry Vonnegut. rip. read Midnight's Children. and Satanic Verses.

I've been meaning to read that for quite a while now. I love Brave New World and science/dystopia stuff in general

V For Vendetta. Also bought a whole bunch of Deathnote copies for real cheap. I think that the show is just okay but it's an easy read and a decent time sink.

Im going to start reading Peter F Hamilton "Pandora's Star" and "Judas Unchained" as well as Dune or Metro 2033. I have both, just trying to decide what I'd rather bring on holidays with me.

Be prepared to be mind blown on how amazing dune is the first read.

I liked dune better than metro 2033.


Also I have finished The Savage Detectives. Loved that book but I listened to it as an audio book. And it's kind of pointless to have an audio book when in the book there are drawings that actually get referenced in the text. So I lost some of the book. It was amazing nonetheless. Now started Asimovs Foundation. Lets see

Love the Satanic Verses. Midnight's Children is on my list to read. Haroun and the Sea of Stories is what got me into Rushdie. It was a really short, simple story but for some reason I absolutely loved it

Midnight's Children is seriously brilliant, definitely recommend everyone reads it. Finally finished Moby Dick last night, it was strange in that with all the chapters explaining whaling thrown in between the story it was alternately very dull and quite tense. Ramped up nicely towards the end though.

I have a half read copy of Moby Dick for that very reason....I've had it for about 6 years now. Maybe I should finish it.

I can understand that, I took a break of a couple of weeks at around 3/5 finished because it seemed like a lot of effort sometimes to read, but when I got back to it I really go into the narrative, finished in a couple of days. I think it's worth reading overall even if it does feel like a lot of the technical stuff could have been omitted with no harm to the book as a whole.

I've been reading the graphic novel Y: The Last Man. I'm half way through and really enjoying. I adore the silly humour; it clashes so well with the doom-y themes and settings. The concept as a whole is cool but the characters are all widely different from each other and fight so entertainingly well.

i fucking LOVE that series. the end gets me every time.
