Fuck yeah Vernor Vinge
Read A Deepness in the Sky yet? It's a prequel to Fire happening tens of thousands of years before and it's my favorite novel by the author

I've read A Deepness In The Sky like 14 times. It's one of my favourite novels ever.

I decided to get a picture of the books I've got to read.

I plowed through a storm of swords and a feast for crows in 3 days, was reading like 15 hours a day.

It's very good, if you can I recommend finding the version of it which has the notes from his writing process, it's very enlightening and fills in a lot of backstory. The writing can be a bit confusing at times, but other than that it's excellent.

You have it easy, you haven't had to wait five years for AFFC or the next book
About three quarters of the way through Animal Farm. Since I just finished AS Russian History, it's cool recognising who the different characters represent and how the events in the book reflect the historical events. Amazingly well written as well :v:

Yeah, I heard he's really bad about getting sequels out. I lol'd when I read "I hope to get a dance with dragons out this year - George Martin 2005"

This book is amazing. I'm possibly the only student in my school that liked it and I've re-read it about 3-5 times already. It's also lead me to read the Communist Manifesto. I recommend that too.

The WarCraft archive is surprisingly good, just like the StarCraft archive.

I've barely played 30 minutes of SC2, not very interested in the books yet :v:
How is Arthas?
Stitches is a good graphic novel, i read it in about 3 hours, thats how good it was.

The StarCraft Archive is based off the first game. Even if you didn't like the game(s), it's still pretty good because all of the books have a similar writing style to most other Blizzard books.

Insane and unstable, just like any pampered prince who is tainted by the magical version of the Dark Side.

Has anyone read [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin's_Radio]this[/url]? I saw a guy reading it at the mall and it seemed pretty interesting.
Been reading Brent Weeks Night Angle Trilogy

Currently started the last book. Great read.
I'm reading "Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said" and it's making me kind of mad that I hadn't gotten into Philip K. Dick earlier. What other books by him should I get once I finish this one?

I love these books and the other series he is working on. I got all 4 of the books signed when he did his book tour.
Started reading A Clockwork Orange, the language they use is interesting although I do get lost every now and then.

Just started reading through this.
Would someone please suggest a few good Detective Noir books for me? (haven't read a single detective novel ever)
Or fiction involving wolves, that works too.
Raymond Chandler, pretty much the archetypal hard boiled detective novelist

On the case of wolfs, Alison Croggon seems to have a fond attachment to wolfs in both the second and fourth book. And they are damn good books.

My local bookstore broke the street date, reading A Dance With Dragons now, bitches.
I have so many books that I need to read or have started to read that I can't even think of them all. Half of them are .pdfs on my computer and the rest are a bunch of books I've randomly stumbled upon or bought at bookstores.
Like, to give an idea of how many books I have, I have about 400 books on my laptop alone. I don't think I'll ever read them all.
