The Library (or 'Now reading...')

[Sunsibar]

So, I read the new Harry Potter And The Cursed Child. At first it was quite... weird... to read, because it was theatrical script. It was still entertaining experience. If you like Harry Potter books, it's worth reading. Although it didn't have that same magic as previous books had.

I finished that two weeks before Christmas and started to read Philosopher's Stone again while waiting for Santa bringing new books to me. After all those Potter video games and movies, returning to books felt like coming home. Definitely best way to experience Harry Potter.

Hooked up with Asimov's Foundation series, I'm reading Foundation's Edge at the moment, love the display of reasoning and social problems through the psychohistory principles.

I'm currently reading Bruce Springsteen's autobiography "Born to Run." It is really solid. If you're a fan of his, I recommend it.

 

[TootyNooty]

Currently rifling through my brothers books.
Read a few of this series before, skipped a few for this one I believe.
Normally just read the codex's and rulebooks, which reminds me got the new one to read too.

I finished Season Of Storms in two days, and now I'm back to other books again.

Before that I finished the book Naming Jack The Ripper. Pretty interesting to read. Modern technology has quite impressive methods of investigating things.

Currently I'm reading the history of KISS, and I also have one Guns And Roses book waiting for it's turn. However, before jumping into the wold of G'N'R, I think I'm going to read Death By Halloween, as soon as I get it from the mail

I'm reading 'The Walk' Stephen king short story and have 'True Grit' under it in a pile on my drawers including Baseball prospectus 2017 and 100 tips for better betting.

I had a toilet last night and grabbed a random book from the shelf it was about applied mathematics with operations research.

90% of my library is Reference books on Betting, Physics, Math, Programming, Chess and fishing.
I have all, the main Pathfinder RPG books and many how to draw fantasy figures and worlds although I can't draw well at all.

I find it Really frustrating to Read as I'm dyslexic but one book I really enjoyed and managed to finish quite quick was 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy'.

Need to read more fiction but any distraction is like reading words on water in a bowl and someone flicks the bowl.

'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Trilogy'

I'm remembering that this was quite entertaining to read. I should read it again some day

 

[Draconifors]

Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (link) was recommended to me, so I decided to give it a read. Can't recall the last time I read something originally written in the 19th century!

Haven't gotten very far yet, but it sure seems like a good and intriguing read.

Got all the Witcher books in my native tongue (Finnish) including Season of Storms and been reading them all over again now. And I gotta say, even though I usually prefer English, the Finnish translations of these books are just a lot more vivid and colorful. The guy who translated them is very well versed in Polish literature and culture and even received some sort of culture award/decoration from the President of Poland for his work a few years back so that probably plays a big part of why the translations are so much better.

Really? Hmm...

I guess I might give the Finnish translations a second read then, although the terminology sounds really weird after getting so used to the English version.

Now reading 1984. It's kinda out of genre I like but the book shows communism in way it partly was and it could be.

Going to revive an old thread here. I am re-reading a childhood series of mine, Deltora Quest

 

[Draconifors]

Re-reading Harry Potter for the umpteenth time... currently at the start of Chamber of Secrets.

 

[lelxrv]

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Finally decided to give it a go.

 

[Sunsibar]

I'm just starting "The Song of Fire And Ice". Only problem is that I'm such a slow reader nowadays. Even my previous Beowulf project took ages to finish, and that book is not even that long.

 

[DoubleDealer]

I'm currently reading through Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.

 

[4meg]

I've been reading H.M.S. Surprise by Patrick O'Brian. I've read all the Hornblower stories and am finally working my way through the Aubrey/Maturin series.

 

[Riven-Twain]

Currently, if rather intermittently, reading The Age of Arthur: A History of the British Isles from 350 to 650, by John Morris.

 

[tron21full]

So, I am currently reading 'Career of Evil' by Robert Gailbraith(J.K. Rowling), but i am multi-reading. Other books include 'His Dark Materials'...and many more to return to like The Witcher series(ones i have anyway) and others.

Finished reading Jo Nesbø's Panserhjerte (English title The Leopard, for whatever reason) last night, and even though I knew to expect high quality from Nesbø this particular novel was bril-li-ant.

Next up, Stephenie Meyer's The Chemist. After Twilight the only way is up, so I'm looking forward to reading the book.
Besides, its title really appeals to me.
