    Books you recently / currently read

    Just an idea to share and find out what books you recently (or currently) read.

    Titles in English pls, but as we are here from many different places, it might be fun to give titles in native language too.

    Starting from me:

    Gene Wolfe, Book of the New Sun, Book 4: The Citadel of the Autarch.

    in Polish - Ksiega Nowego Slonca

    Actually get stucked somewhere as the story is quite watered there. Great novel, through!

    Reading 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. Currently put on hold though, due to exams.

    I'm at book 4 now by the way. Just about to start a chapter on 'The Kraken's Daughter'. No idea who she is, really.

    • My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you're ugly too.

    • Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

    • With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.

    • I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.

    • A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip.

    Currently reading Robert A. Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Before that, it was a sci-fi/fantasy humor anthology called Unidentified Funny Objects.

    But if you're looking for recommendations, I'm always trying to convince people to give Roger Zelazny a try!

    Yeah, I like Roger Zelazny very, very much, one of my best writer!!! Read many of his books, but surely not all. Amber saga is a masterpiece for me.

    Amber is one of the all-time greats, no doubt. But it may not be as good as Lord of Light.

    I read Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 by Michio Kaku.

    Got it as a christmas gift and it's amazing. I hope I will live long enough to see what came true :/

    I'm currently half way through a book called The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson, and it is incredible. Reccomends it to everyone, one of the funniest books I've ever read, and it just keeps getting better.
    Finished the 5th Book in the A Song of Ice and Fire last year, I think. That's also a really good book.
    @Iclipse, The Krakens Daughter is Asha Greyjoy :P Whenever animals are mentioned in the ASOIF books, instantly think about what house sigil it might refer to.

    God damn these facts getting in the way of my succes!!
