On the rare occasions I do read it's either cyberpunk and sci fi here and there or philosophy/thought provoking books like Buddhism plain and simple, Neichez, Art of war, The five rings, 1984, animal farm. That kinda stuff.

I have an unending thirst for knowledge and understanding of people and how they think. I've even though of becoming a psychologist.

-pokes the dead thread-

I'm reading the first of the Incarnations of Immortality again, doesn't seem as good as when I first read it. However, I can't find the book anywhere :/

I really need some new books but I have exams and stuff. I hope to be reading Hamlet this summer.

If anyone finds anything insanely good let me know.

Of course I read books.

Currently I'm chewing my way through Angles & Demons by Dan Brown. Gonna read all of his wonderful books in order, and I refuse to see the movie. I REFUSE!

I saw the movie, as a movie it was all right, I found it kinda boring though. I'm not sure what it's like in relation to the book, as I didn't want to go see the movie feeling disappointed in it, so I have plans to read that soon.
Currently I'm halfway through 1984, still in Act I of Julius Caesar, and haven't even started No Great Mischief. And I'm hoping to re-read Twilight, and get Othello from somewhere.

The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle is an excellent read and one of my all-time favorites.

The Dragon Knight series by Gordon R. Dickson is mostly out of print, but it's still worth buying if you happen to find it. The first in the multi-book series is The Dragon and the George.

Anything by Anne McCafferey, especially her acclaimed Pern series. There's is no real beginning considering she has many sequels and prequels and such to the story. The best place to start would probably be Dragonflight. I'm pretty sure that that is the very first one she wrote.

His Dark Materials Trilogy, though written by an agnostic (aethiest?) author, is very well done and I'm absolutely in love with it. The first in the trilogy is The Golden Compass if I'm not mistaken, followed by The Subtle Knife and the final volume entitled The Amber Spyglass. The author is Philip Pullman.

Dianne Wynne Jones is an excellent aauthoress as is Ursula K. LeGuin, who writes in the same fashion as such wonderful authors as J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Did I mention that both ladies have had or are having their books animated by the world-famous Studio Ghibli? surprised

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury (like 1984) is a thrilling look at the future, where humans are emotionlessly detached from the world and firefighters start fires instead of stopping them! What's more, they burn books, which are now illegal! A wonderful read and somewhat chilling as well.

Those are just a few of the novels I've read in the past year or so. razz I'm a Bibliophile, sorry.

Haha, yeah, my whole room smells like a book store or a library. I've run out of room on my shelves for books. My manga is all in a big over-flowing box in the back of my closet and I've stored a lot of my novels from when I was a kid in a rubber tub that's in the attic now. Still I'm running out of room, I'm gonna having a room that looks like Sheska's (FMA) and I'll die buried alive by an avalanche of literature. XD Not such a bad way to die for a biliophile I suppose...
