Discussions regarding books go in Literary Society.

Not much at the moment from me. Mainly my usual magazines, though I picked Twilight up a few weeks ago and am halfway through that.

I don't really like that author. He's so pessimistic and downright cynical in his writings.

Having finished previously mentioned book, I've now picked up the next book in the series, "Den hedervärde mördaren" (literally translates to "The honourable murderer"). Reading that along with selected chapters of D. Griffiths' "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" and A. Beiser's "Concepts of Modern Physics".

As a child I use to read a hell of a lot of books, these days I would do well if I got through 1 book in 2 years.

At the moment I am half way through "The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski

It is based around Geralt from the game "The Witcher". It is very well written and I am enjoying it thoroughly.

Finished reading Snow Falling on Cedars by Richard Guterson for school, it was stupid.

The writing was just bad, and plus he went overboard on the descriptions of male appendages during the sex scenes.

The Great Hunt by Robert Jordan; Book 2 of the Wheel of Time. I think I am on my 30th read of the series now.

But it's worth to read it that many times! ~Flummy

Just finished "Daggerspell" by Katharine Kerr. Might pick up the follow-ups in the series at a later time.

Now I'm reading "Fiendens fiende" (translates to "The enemy's enemy" in english) by Jan Guillou, a swedish author. Basicly it's about a Swedish version of James Bond/Jack Ryan. Really good series of book really, this is the fourth one.

I've just finished Steinbeck's "Of mice and men", and I'm now 300 pages into a biography of Julius Caesar.
