I am reading this...



It's a pretty good read if your interested in some of the less well known Dinosaurs

Eldar Path of the Seer

Various posts on DakkaDakka.

AWESOME book. Best space opera to have come out in years, IMHO, though it is not a space opera in the traditional sense, because humans have not yet left the SOlar system. Pretty much everything in the Solar System is colonized though. Not finished with it yet, but so far there is a war brewing between the Asteroid belt and Mars.

It is also kinda like dead space for reasons I won't spoil.

A Beautiful Mind.
Possibly the worst book anybody has ever forced me to read.

Im reading the ultramarines omnibus

There not my favorite but Mccneil does good work.

Wish there was some Raven Guard books (if anyone knows of some let me know)

Ian Watson's "The Inquisition War", which I managed to buy second hand off of a friend for a £1, Miguel Pinero's "Short Eyes" and "USSR, The Land and People", from the Novosti Press Agency Publishing House (1976), a great collection of tails from some of the USSR's best writers of the time.

Oh and I just finished reading Chris Wooding "Retribution Falls", a great swashbucking steampunk tale (though I did read the second one in the series first however), the second Ciaphas Cain omnibus (predictable, but still fun enough to keep you reading), Metro 2034 (though I guess I really ought to wait till the English version comes out as my Russian is a bit imperfect) and the novelisation of the game "RAGE", by Mathhew Costello, which was actually pretty good and honestly should have had a ton of plot elements from it included into the game (thus why people keep on berrating its plot for being a little 2D). If I can get a hold of any of them I hope to start reading some of the Eldar Scrolls novels some time too. ^^

Still reading me some Ian Watson's Inquisition War too. I'm slow.

I'm reading Tim Willock's 'The Religion' again, such an amazing book.

Just finished that as well. I haven't read much of the GW lit, but I thought this was decent enough...

i've made it through a few books this week (one of the last of the few benefits of working nights at my job)
Procession of the Dead by Darren Shan-ok book, but i probably won't bother with the rest of the series

Devices and desires, also Evil for evil-both by K. J. Parker- i'll probably try and finish up the trilogy this next week

Ashes and Angel Wings by Greg Stolze- an ok quick read, doubt i'll trouble with tracking down the rest though

Crucible of War - Military History of the F&I War, for college/pleasure (needed to pick a book for an essay, and of course I chose one that's 900+ pages)
The Oxford History of the British Army - doesn't need an explanation, college
Storm of Steel - WWI personal history, for college
Sharpe's Triumph - Kindle, pleasure
Eisenhorn Trilogy - rereading, pleasure

On the 'To Read' list:
The Somme - book on the WWI battle, college
The Bitter Road to Freedom - WWII history, college
Pegasus Bridge - WWII history, college
This Terrible Sound - Battle of Chickamauga, Civil War, pleasure
Napoleon's Russian Campaign - doesn't really need an explanation, pleasure
Whatever Sharpe book catches my fancy on the Kindle, pleasure

So, so very much to read...

I'm currently reading this:


and I'm working on finishing this, but it's not my favorite Clancy novel thus far:

reading "Dreams of my Father" at the moment by Barak Obama. Fantastic read

The cover art is REALLY familiar, does it say where it is from?

I'm working my way through a few things at the moment.
Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (for a bet)
Catch 22 (Joseph Heller),
and
The Cold Commands (Richard Morgan)

Just finished 'The knife of never letting go,' great read.
Now I'm on to 'Firedrake' by Nick Kyme (spelling?)
Also, reading 'Grail,' 5th book in the Pendragon cycle by Stephen Lawhead

Just read the Sons of Dorn. Great book.

Currently Re-reading "Brave New War" By John Robb, it's a must read for anyone harping on about the omg TERRAR on their tiny violins.

next up?
re-read of House of leaves
Working for the devil - lilith saintcrow
Dead man rising - lilith
the devils right hand - lilith
Selene - lilith
The Death's Head trilogy by David Gunn
Lady of devices by Shelley Adina

Death's Head is pretty good...
The protagonist is a little sociopathic though...
Currently reading Frankenstein...
Next up is Faustus.

The last ditch. The new book in the cain series. pretty good.
Also lotsa school books.
Some are good, some are torture, all require.

Just finished the "a song of ice and fire" series a few days ago.... AWESOME!

some of you may know the tv series they made from the first book, a game of thrones. If you liked the series, youll love the books!

rereading the first (are there more?) Cain omnibus. Probably gonna start the Horus Heresy over again after that.

Salvation's Reach for the first time. I'm a little late to the party, unfortunately. And I consider myself an Abnett fan!

A fascinating mushroom book by Paul Stamets.

I KNOW that some idiot will post twilight so I have prepaired this incase of major herp-a-derp. Please copy and paste this when ever you see a twilight thread




Twilight's ridiculous abuse of vampires and werewolves is not news. What is, however, surprising, is that in Twilight, the Werewolves are supposedly descended from the Pacific Northwest's Quileute Nation — a Native American civilization which, for the idly curious, is still around. Stephanie Meyer never asked the Quileute for permission to steal and frankly distort their peoples' sacred origin stories as an attempt to legitimize the backdrop of the lycanthropes in her book series. And she's laughing all the way to the bank.

I am about to start Caesars Commentarii De Bello Gallico tomorrow, while I sit through Jury Duty.
I am also in the middle of the first book in the Horus Heresy series.

@Miaou,A good read for sure.

The Anphelion Project
Salvation's Reach.

The Lost Feet: Relentless and Jingo. Both on my Kindle.

Of course, now we get the crowds of people asking, 'Oh, did they make a book based on the TV series?'. Ugh.
