So Escapia...

[Serenegoose]

I read TONS of books. More than ever now that I've taken up writing my own novel - it's like research, but it's fun!

The last book I read was 'The Evolutionary Void' by Peter F Hamilton. After I go pick up 'Surface Details' (by Iain M Banks) tomorrow, I've got 'Final Empire', 'Well of Ascension', and 'Hero of Ages' to read by Brandon Sanderson.

I also read 'Saturns Children', 'Singularity Sky', 'Iron Sunrise', 'Halting State', 'The Atrocity Archives', 'Jennifer Morgue', and 'The Fuller Memorandum', all of which by Charles Stross in the last half year.

I pretty much only read sci-fi and fantasy.

I'm currently reading Rose Madder by Stephen King. I quite like it, it's the second book I've read since I went on a reading haitus last year. I did that because I took English Lit for A level for some reason, completely put me off reading. Before that I could get through a good sized novel in a few days, I was always reading. I'm easing myself back into it, but reading is enjoyable to me again, so I'm going to start reading a helluva lot more now that I can read a book without having to analyse every single word.

recently finished around dozen long book series; Dreamland by Dale Brown(it's modern warfare/sci fi peeps, not what u think) and now i'm re-reading The Traitor by Stephen Coonts.

 

[TimeLord]

I am currently reading all the Artemis Fowl books again because they are awesome!

I also need to order Mogworld!

 

[Marter]

Very, very little. Like, maybe a book each year.

The last book I read was 'Notes From the Underground', snore.
I'm 3/4 of the way through Watership Down currently, haven't fallen in love with it yet.
My favourite set of books is the Kushiel series. I can never guess what is going to happen or how, it really is intriguing and complex.

Let's see, currently I'm rereading the Halo book series up to Onyx, Mogworld, The King's Bastard (found it on the shelf), and might pick up the Night Angel Trilogy (favorite book series) again this weekend.

Last book I completed was a Margaret Weis book, but I can't remember which off the top of my head. Before that was a bunch of Karen Traviss books (including the Republic Commando series) and two of the Mass Effect books (not that bad. I picked them up to survive a flight and ended up liking them). I didn't get to complete a Karen Miller book my brother loaned me before I went back to college, so I have something to look forward to when I go back home.

Yes, I read a hell of a lot when I decide to.

I recently took up the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King, I can honestly say I'm hooked and I'm only on the second book!

I just finished the fourth book, theyre really great.

I try to read something that gets you thinking, (its usually coursework books) and also pulp/entertaining books - like the Dark Tower series.

I'm currently reading Seeds of Earth. It's quite good. I'm also reading "The Impact of Values" by some Dutch person for my dissertation =P.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

Im reading The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo now

 

[InnerRebellion]

I'm not reading anything right now, because I'm working on a book.

By the way, if I wrote a book of a collection of say, 5 short stories that all connect to each other, what would it be called?

Oh wait, I'm reading Magick Charm, a book by a family friend that just recently got published.

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

Up until last year, not much - every now and then.

Now the fever's seemed to gripped me and I can't go a day without burying my nose in a book. There's something wrong with me Escapist! Help!

See the book "Cloud Atlas".

 

[Offworlder_v1legacy]

The most recent novel was Rise Of A Merchant Prince by Raymond E. Feist (One of my favourite authors, fantastic if you like fantasy)
But my most recent book was Lolly Scramble which is one of Tony Martin's memoir's (Good, funny book but I don't recommend it for non-Australians/New Zealanders)

As for me, I read alot. I have all my life. Which is more then most people I know.
My favourite series is the Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist.

 

[I Max95]

the last book i finished was Catching fire By suzanne collins
great series about a future kingdom where every year 24 kids are forced to fight to the death on live television the series starting with the hunger games
after that i tried reading the red pyramid simply because i loved the auther's other work but i never really got into it
then my sister finally finished with the Book Mockingjay the last of the Hunger games trilogy and i can finish it in peace

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

I really need new books. Harry Potter series, Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series, Bourne series, The Kite Runner, and some stuff that I don't currently have in my room to reference.

 

[I Max95]

i sometimes read alot if im interested in a book
read a couple of the percy jackson books in a single day

my favorite series in the Inheritance cycle by christopher paulini

EDIT: posted a second time because my first one dissappeared at first

 

[Thedayrecker]

I read quite a lot.

Reading 1984 for school (already read it like 8 times), and Sidhartha by Hermann Hesse, also for school.

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

I'm currently reading this

 

[dancinginfernal]

I am reading Firestarter by Stephen King.

Normally I'm a good fan of him, but I'm having trouble getting into it.

Why's that then? do you know?

Not entirely sure. I like the premise, so I'm wishing I could enjoy it.
