Yeah, making money. I was hoping to find some disc-world but no doubt this book will be brilliant.

It is in the Discworld setting, just a new main character. A few of the regular personalities from Ankh-Morpork show up, in particular Vetinari (who is awesome).

i have just finished "Th1rteen R3asons Why"
amazing book.
i have just opened "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" because after Thirteen Reasons, i need a good laugh instead of going into a depressed state and crying myself to sleep.

History of Latvian literature.

Sounds interesting. Can you summarise any of the books main points for us?

*There is proof of a writing system evolving prior to the german invasion.
*Afterwards, the first latvian books appear in the 16th century, religious in nature.
*First latvian books by latvians are first printed by the end of the 17th.
Last chapter i read was about A. J. Stender.

So tell me Escapist forum community, what books are we reading as of now? Or what books look interesting and you want to get a hold of?


I'm trying to get a hold of Angels & Demons to find out what the frick the Illuminati is. Ifm also looking into the rest of that whole Da Vinci code series thing. Also, reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe for class.

I'm currently reading War of the World by HG Wells (an original copy) and the book based on the Constantine film( I hate the film, I love Hellblazer, and the book is so much more in depth than the film ever was). I picked up Constantine for a dollar and thought I'll give it a chance". Well i can't put it down right now. It's a really enthralling read (even after already seeing the film).

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins
It's great.
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction; jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control freak; a vindictive , bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal , genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
Pure frickin gold.

There's a better book for that, it's called The Illuminatus! Trilogy. It will make absolutely no sense but be compelling enough to continue with reading. It's definitely worth a read.

As of now, I'm reading World War Z again, because I needed a book to read for a school project and that was all I had lying around that I hadn't read in a while. I'm gonna read the Lord of the Rings trilogy next, though.

I'm currently trying to track down the Darren Shan series. I've gotta fill the gap until the next Dresden Files book is released! Besides, I read the premise and it sounds pretty good.

Oh, okay cool. I haven't read any of the Discworld so I didn't know. Will reading this one ruin its predecessors?

Only one of them, Going Postal, a bit. "How much is 'a bit'" you may ask, enough to read Going Postal first, I reply, since that is where the Main Character first starred as MC.
