Practical Workflow for SAP - 2nd Edition

I don't recommend this for anyone but those who are:

a.) Required to read it to do their job (such as me) or
b.) Clinically insane (also possibly such as me)

I like just action filled stories so I've just been reading A LOT of Matthew Reilly's books.
His books should become video games, if they did, I'd love to see Yahtzee review them.
And the Skullduggery Pleasant series... I KNOW it's a younger kids book but I started reading the series when I was 12 and I want to see it through! And it's based in Ireland and I love imagining the accents. Irish accents FTW!
The Crucible was one of the most INFURIATING plays I have ever read JUST because you sit there and you KNOW the truth! It's fantastic but very, very infuriating.
Oh and I've been reading the Twilight series too! They are so go- JUST MESSING WITH YA!

Speaker for the Dead.

So far it's a lot better than Ender's Game.

After that I'll probably go back to the Discworld series again.

Hannibal. No not that Hannibal, the other one, the one that almost destroyed Rome
Is it wrong that instantly went to Roman Hannibal over the over one? :X
Anyways, back on topic:
On the go, nothing much, and nothing mind blowing, just a couple of easy to read, fun novels[The Terry Prachett's are re-reads, sadly.]:
Going Postal - Terry Prachett
Spartan Gold - Clive Cussler ft....someone [Actually boring the fuck out of me atm].
Arctic Drift - Clive Cussler ft Dirk Cussler[His son]
The Colour of Magic - Terry Prachett
World War Z - Max Brooks[Very slowly, my physical copy got damaged, no library has a copy, so I'm forced to use a PDF, which hurts my eyes].
Odd Thomas - Dean Koontz
and finally:
Area 7 - Matthew Reilly

Same here, those books are made of fracking win.

On the topic of Cracked writers.. John Dies at the End was a wonderful book by the editor of the site, David Wong.
I actually had that book in my hand and was about to buy it, but it was 25 dollars for a hardcover and they didn't have paperback. That's going to be my next book... Well, after Rebel Without A Crew... and Let the Right One In, and the Fountainhead...

Also, I forgot to mention this but I'm very excited for the Dead Space novel that's supposed to be coming out this summer.

I've just started reading the The Dark Tower V: Wolves of Calla by Stephen King.
I'm halfway through The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower myself, and - spoiler alert - it's totally awesome.

Ohhhhh The Kite Runner.. I love that book. I wept twice. The movie ain't to bad either.

For you, a thousand times over.

I don't think there is a hardcover. I did the same thing.. "25$.. meh." But after I read the inside sleeve and the first few pages I was hooked. It's realllllllyyyy out there, dark humor. I loved it.

I've been working my way through the works of Neil Gaiman recently. I've already bought and consumed Good Omens, Fragile Things, Neverwhere and, most recently, American Gods. I want to read Anansi Boys or start on the Sandman next, but unfortunately I've exhausted my local bookshop's Gaiman selection. So I decided to start on Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
Good Omens was pretty cool. It's the only book I've read by the two guys, but I did enjoy it.

I read The Crucible for school earlier in the year... and yes, it's lame. Which reminds me of a book that anyone who wants to know how fucked up the world reaaaaaaaally is should read immediately..

An Underground Education by Richard Zacks

It's banana pancakes the whole way through. From an Arts and Lit to Sex and the Church, this book covers just about every the textbooks like to leave out. Stories that are just too.. unpleasant for young minds.

Comic books. What? They have words in that you're required to read, so they count.

And if stuff for school counts, then I guess I'm reading Oedipus, Antigone, Hippolytus and Medea as well.
