I'm catching up on the webcomic MercWorks

[Yoink]

Started reading One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest the other day.
It's predictably very good, but I'm kind of glad I watched the film first. Also, lobotomies freak me the fuck out.

[Zrk2]

Well I just finished Knife of Dreams and am about halfway through The Gathering Storm at the moment and I just have to say.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Holy shit, Rand has his arm blown off and doesn't even give a crap?!

Exactly. This is, IIRC, the peak of his "fuck this shit" period.

Anyone read Joe Abercrombie recently?

Yes. Love him. I just bought The Heroes, (I think) but I haven't read it yet.

Well I loved it. Hope you do too. Are you reading the Shattered Sea series too?

No. I wasn't even aware it existed yet. I have so much to read, but so little time. I'll add it to my list.

That's because they're fucking freaky.

So I continued read The Gathering Storm today and I swear I could tell when Brandon Sanderson took over. He just has a different style of writing and I found that showed up quite obviously, does anyone else feel the same.

Can't say I really noticed, but that's because I was mostly concentrating on the story itself.

[Drakale]

So I am reading the Master and Commander saga(Patrick O'Brian) and loving it, do you guys know of other good books in the age of sail era that are mostly historically accurate?

[Arx]

Hornblower, by C. S. Forrester. By far the best I've read.

[Comrade P.]

Hmmm... Let's take a look at last books I read:

George Orwell - 1984; Animal Farm
Ray Bradbury - 451 F
Auldos Huxley - Brave New World
Yevgeny Zamyatin - We
Willam Gibson - Neuromancer

...
Last time I read a book unrelated to college studies was half a year ago. I almost don't read books.

I'll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion.

[Dutrius]

Just finished Eye of the World.

On to The Great Hunt.

Just finished Eye of the World.

On to The Great Hunt.

Brace yourself. The books only get thicker from here on out.

[Arx]

And drier. I loved it, personally, but there it is.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Well, currently looking for book 9(?) from the Skulduggery Pleasant series, which I absolutely adore, by the way.
Also looking to finally start Eye of the World, from Wheel of Time, and also read A Fortress of Grey Ice, from the Sword of Shadows series.
There's actually a huge amount of books I want to read right now. I'm currently in the process of making a list of 'books I own but haven't read', so there's that.
I'm expecting there to be a minimum of 30 books on the list.
As for current reading... Just started The Alchemist, if that counts.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Romantic Era literature in english

'The Tide Rises, The Tide Falls' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is a very nice poem

[Arcvasti]

Well, currently looking for book 9(?) from the Skulduggery Pleasant series, which I absolutely adore, by the way.

* Arcvasti high fives.

I am so far behind on that series. Haven't been able to find anything past book ~6 in libraries.

[Yoink]

The Alchemist? By Paulo Coelho(spl?)?
That's a fascinating book, even if it made my head hurt. I think I was a kid when I tried to read it, though...
