I used to keep a book specifically for reading on the toilet.

Baffler, what do you think of 'Brothers? I don't think I managed to force myself to finish it...

[Baffler]

I'm actually only about halfway through book II, where Miusov and Fyodor are with Zosima trying to make each other uncomfortable while they're waiting for Dmitri. I think it's too early for me to really form an opinion, but the characters are at least somewhat interesting.

Geometric Algebra for Computer Science. Pretty good introductory text thus far. Easy reading and intuitive, even for those with only a rough understanding of the plain old Gibbs Vectors that CS majors usually learn about.

Between books right now. Just finished Divergent, based off the fact that it's famous (it's pretty good), next book will probably be A Memory of Light. Then I'll have to kill myself because I'll have finished Wheel of Time.

Belgariad/Malloreon by David Eddings.  Up to volume nine (of my fifth or sixth reading).

[Sebastian2203]

Halo books
Mass effect books and some physiology books

I do not know their names because I read them in Slovakian language.
( and translators were lazy to show the original name)

Reading Lords and Ladies atm. I got a fuckton of Discworld books for Christmas.
I should probably go to the library to get something else and read that after this, I don't feel like reading all of these without anything else.

Good books.

Reading Lords and Ladies atm. I got a fuckton of Discworld books for Christmas.

Also good books.

I'm re-reading the WoT series. I forgot just how long it took just to get to Caemlyn.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I'm trying to find time to read the sequel to 'Compound'

I'm re-reading the WoT series. I forgot just how long it took just to get to Caemlyn.

Wasn't that like half a book?

Also, wow, this series seems to be pretty popular amongst Bay12ers.

[Baffler]

I read it too, and quite enjoyed it. I'm not quite finished with it yet though, I need to get copies of everything past Knife of Dreams (books 12-14.) It's a ridiculously long series, with 14 books each approaching or exceeding 1000 pages, if I remember right. It's probably the most completely developed setting I've ever seen though, with completely fleshed out cultures, history, geography, and everything else. Some of it is rather strange, but it's all a part of a wider composition. Don't get the impression that it's about the setting and not the characters though, it's very much a character driven story. And a good one at that. The only thing I find off-putting about the whole thing is the men are from Mars, women are from Venus aesthetic it's got goin' on, and that every so often some trivial thing will get a page's worth of description then never be mentioned again.

[TheDarkStar]

Yeah, Robert Jordan was big on descriptions. I liked the books partially written by Sanderson better because they are a bit more plot focused.

fanfiction

Working on Crown of Swords, 7th WoT book, myself.

By the way, can anybody confirm or deny that Crossroads of Twilight is mostly an endless treatise on food and appearances and has almost nothing plot-important in it?

The struggle is real, but do yourself a favour and make your way through it, it may be the nostalgia talking, but it's still one of my favourite series.

I'm currently reading The Twilight Reign by Tom Lloyd. He's not a brilliant author or anything, but it's entertaining.

[Spehss _]

Currently reading/playing the first 2 chapters of Choice of Robot. Seems cool.

I stopped reading WoT at...I think I'm at the 9th or 10th book. I should get back into it when I have the time. College cuts into that time though.
